Spring Branch ISD football teams will spend virtually their entire season under stadium lights, with only one day game scheduled. Memorial and Klein Forest meet in a potentially-pivotal game in Week 10 at 2 p.m., Nov. 4 at Tully Stadium.

Stratford hosts Ridge Point at 6 p.m., Sept. 16 at Tully, the only other Saturday game involving SBISD teams. Otherwise, fans can settle in for Thursday and Friday evening entertainment as Memorial, Northbrook, Spring Woods and Stratford compete with Klein ISD for playoff spots in District 15-6A.

The action begins Aug. 31 at Tully as Northbrook takes on Caney Creek. Spring Woods hosts Chavez the following night, while Stratford travels to Alvin Memorial Stadium. Memorial visits Katy on Sept. 2 to play Seven Lakes in one of the first games at Legacy Stadium.

District action begins in week five after a bye week, with the first intra-SBISD contest set for week six. Rivalry games are set for Oct. 20 (Memorial-Stratford) and Nov. 3 (Northbrook-Spring Woods).

Memorial plays the most competitive non-district slate, playing opponents with a cumulative 22-15 record in 2016. The Mustangs play Seven Lakes, bi-district champion Pearland and state semifinalist Cinco Ranch during the first three weeks.

Spring Woods faces a pair of playoff teams in Waltrip and Terry after opening with Chavez. The Tigers defeated Waltrip last season.

Northbrook plays Caney Creek, Milby and Westbury in non-district. The Raiders defeated Milby in week two last year.

Stratford had the district's best record at 7-4 last fall, including a playoff berth. The Spartans defeated Alvin and Elsik in non-district play last season and again close with 2016 bi-district champion Ridge Point.
