2022 Fayetteville high school football schedule by team and by week
Kickoff has arrived as the 2022 high school football season gets underway in Cumberland County and across the state of North Carolina.
In late June, the Fayetteville Observer took a look at the schedules for each of Fayetteville's 10 teams to see which squads have the toughest road. The results were based on the combined record and winning percentage of a team’s opponents from the previous season.
Coming off a winless season in 2021, E.E. Smith has the toughest strength of schedule, followed by Jack Britt, Douglas Byrd and Terry Sanford. South View is in the middle of the pack.
