Every Lackawanna Football Conference and Wyoming Valley Conference football team will take advantage of the first legal date of scrimmages to conduct their one scrimmage Saturday in preparation for next weekend’s regular-season openers.

Delaware Valley goes to Bethlehem Liberty for a 1 p.m. scrimmage.
