SPORTS WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28, 2019 HERMISTONHERALD.COM • A11 Get ready to kick off the 2019-2020 football season By RONALD BOND REGIONAL SPORTS EDITOR It seems like it was only a few days ago that we were wrapping up the spring sports season and crowning state champions in track, baseball, softball, golf and tennis. Yet in the blink of an eye, the fall sea- son has come upon us. Most of the region’s high school teams start their seasons later this week, and football — arguably the most popular sport in our great nation — gets underway in earnest with jamborees this weekend and the offi cial start of the season next week. We at the northeast Oregon newspapers of EO Media Group are preparing for the upcoming season, and for our readers, that means a special treat is in store. It’s one the subscribers of The Observer and Baker City Herald are used to, but that will be new to the readers of the East Ore- gonian, Hermiston Herald and Wallowa County Chieftain. One week from today — Sept. 4 — we will be bringing you a special publication, our ‘Kickoff’ magazine. For the last four years, the sports staffs at The Observer and Baker City Herald have been putting out this magazine each fall. It is a comprehensive look at the football teams in the region as they get set for the upcom- ing season, and one that has gained a lot of popularity with readers in Union, Wallowa and Baker counties . But with EO Media Group’s recent pur- chase of these two papers came the oppor- tunity to take the next step with this publi- cation. As a result, the 2019 edition of this magazine also includes the teams of Uma- tilla County and has been put together by the staffs of our fi ve northeast Oregon papers. What is in our ‘Kickoff’ magazine? A season preview for 21 high school football teams in Baker, Union, Umatilla and Wal- lowa counties, and Eastern Oregon Univer- sity. Stats, facts, schedules, players to know and more for each of these teams. Feature articles on athletes from each county. Doz- HIGHLIGHTS • • • • • • • • • • • • • 7 Nights in one hotel in Nice, France Nice City Tour Chagall Museum Nice Flower Market Notre Dame Church Grasse and the Fragonard Perfume Factory Ventimiglia, Italy ens of great photos. Pages loaded with Ore- gon high school football history. And much more. Perhaps the coolest aspect of the ‘Kick- off’ magazine is that it will feature fi ve unique covers — one each for Union, Wal- lowa, Baker, east Umatilla and west Uma- tilla counties. We just put the fi nal touches on this sea- son preview, and it is a must-have for any high school football fan. A lot of hours from the staffs of our fi ve newspapers have gone into completing this project and making it bigger and better than it has ever been. Ronald Bond is the eastern regional sports editor for EO Media Group.
