Highlanders send two to Ferrum and one to Emory & Henry during Monday's signing.

SALEM, Va. – Whistles blowing and sleds being pushed is typically the sound of summer preparing the boys for fall. But after a quiet 2020, the Glenvar Highlanders took to the field Thursday for the first time in over a year. There’s certainly a lot of differences between starting the football season in August and February. There’s still snow in the bleachers, but there’s no circumstance too outrageous for the Highlanders to abide by in order to play. “As long as we get to play football everyone will be happy,” defensive end Blake Custer said.
