High school football is back.  Monday was the first day Virginia teams could practice and ABC 13 Sports cameras were there. We stopped at Heritage High School. Chris Jones and the Pioneers are back looking for their 7th straight winning season.

Last year, Heritage went 8-and-2 in the regular season and picked up a playoff win before losing in round two.

Chris Jones, Heritage Coach - "We got a lot of new faces. We lost a lot of big senior class this year and had a good season at 9-and-3. We're looking to have a good season this year but we got a lot of young kids and we're going to have to gain a lot of experience very quickly."

Kenneth Bryant, Sr. RB - "It's a lot of hard work on us because they left and they were some good seniors and they left a legacy for us to fulfill in their shoes so we got to do our job and do well and get out there and make plays like they did."
