Arlington High Schools Gear Up for Exciting Week of Playoffs
Arlington is set for an action-packed week filled with sports as high school teams prepare for various playoff events. The excitement kicks off this weekend, but fans should note that there will be no football games on Friday night, November 1, due to the Diwali Hindu festival observance in Fairfax County schools.
