Football season is five months away, but there is good news.
Schedules have arrived. The most notable change from recent seasons for Citrus County teams is in district play. Citrus, Crystal River and Lecanto will be joined by Dunnellon and North Marion to form Class 3A, District 6. Also, Citrus and Lecanto have dropped South Sumter, which next year no longer will be a member of the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference. The Hurricanes, however, must play district foes North Marion, Dunnellon and Crystal River in consecutive weeks toward the end of the season.
