Canfield sports briefs


Send fall sports news to Neighbors

The fall sports season has already started and Neighbors wants to be part of your successes this year.

Coaches and parents should email game recaps, stats and photos to neighbors@vindy.com for publication. In order for us to print the latest results, please send information within 48 hours of the game. We’re looking to feature all fall sports - football, soccer, cross country, tennis, golf and volleyball.

We’ll kick off our Neighbors Blitz football pages in the coming weeks, as results from junior varsity, freshman, middle school and youth football games start coming in.

Neighbors looks forward to showcasing your young athletes.
