It is looking more and more like there will be high school football this fall.

The East Penn Conference voted unanimously to go ahead with a delayed fall sports schedule, and then went ahead and released that abridged schedule Friday morning.

Football will play a five-game schedule including the usual 10, and the first games will be held on October 2. Soccer, field hockey, and volleyball will all get underway September 25.

The EPC’s athletic directors realigned the conference’s division “with mitigation in mind,” according to an EPC news release. Member schools were assigned to divisions which are determined by county whenever possible, according to the release. The EPC says this will help in the mitigation of potential infection by maintaining local competition for the fall season.

There are three divisions by county:

Lehigh: Allen, CCHS, Dieruff, Emmaus, Parkland, Whitehall

Monroe: ES North, ES South, Pleasant Valley, PM East, PM West, Stroudsburg

Northampton: BECAHI, Easton, Freedom, Liberty, Nazareth, Northampton

The number of league contests are:

• Cross Country: 5 Total – In county division only, home and away

• Field Hockey: 10 Total – In county division only, home and away

• Football: 5 Total – Weeks 1-5 in county division

• Golf: 10 Total – In county division only, home and away

• Soccer Boys: 10 Total – In county division only, home and away
