Alright folks, got a question popping up lately about Nazareth High’s football schedule next year, specifically home games. Kept seeing folks ask “When are Nazareth High football home games in 2024?” online. Figured I’d find a quick answer myself and share how it went down. No magic tricks here, just good old fashioned digging.
The Starting Point – Total Zero Info
Opened up the laptop the other day, fired up Chrome. My brain was blank on this one, couldn’t remember a single date off the top of my head. Nazareth High? Football? 2024? Yeah, needed concrete info, not guesswork. Typed that exact question right into the search bar: “nazareth high school football home games 2024”. Crossed my fingers hoping the school itself would be the top result. Lucked out – the official Nazareth Area School District athletic page popped up near the top.
Navigating The School Site Maze
Clicked that link quick. Now, school websites, man. Sometimes finding the sports stuff feels like searching for buried treasure. Scrolled down hunting for anything labeled “Athletics” or “Sports”. Spotted a menu link called “Athletics”. Good sign. Clicked that. Landed on a page talking about sports programs in general. Needed specifics. Looked around that page for something like “Schedules” or “Football”. Saw a section for “Fall Sports”. Football’s definitely fall, right? Headed there. Listed the sports… and yes, “Football” was right there.
The Hunt For The Actual Schedule
Okay, clicked “Football”. Takes you to the football team’s dedicated page. Now this is where the schedule should live. Scanned the page. You know how these pages look – news blurbs, maybe a coach’s bio, announcements. Needed the meat. Spotted a tab or link saying “Schedule” right near the top. That’s the golden ticket. Gave it a solid click.
Figuring Out Home vs. Away
Page loaded, showing the full 2024 season lineup. Dates. Times. Opponents. Nice! But I only cared about the home games. How to tell? Standard practice around here is the location column. Scanned the column headers. Yep, one said “Location”. Perfect. Started going down the list line by line. Looking specifically at that “Location” column for mentions of “Home” or sometimes they actually list the stadium name – like “Andrew S. Leh Stadium” if it’s Nazareth’s home field. Jotted down every date where “Location” wasn’t showing the opponent’s school name or “Away”.
Here’s what I pulled for 2024 home games (marking it down so I remember):
- Friday, August 30th (Opponent: Easton)
- Friday, September 13th (Opponent: Freedom)
- Friday, September 27th (Opponent: Parkland)
- Friday, October 11th (Opponent: Whitehall)
- Friday, October 25th (Opponent: Emmaus)
Double-Checking Is Key
You might think done, right? Nah. School websites, sometimes they update late, things shift. Wanted to be sure. Scrolled back to the top or the bottom of that schedule page, looked for a tiny note. Sometimes it says like “Schedules subject to change”. Yeah, saw that. Fine. But no date on the page saying “Last Updated”. Hmm. What else? Knew Nazareth plays in the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference (EPC) for football. Hopped over to the conference league website in another tab. Searched for their football section and schedules. Found Nazareth’s schedule there too. Scrolled through. The home game dates listed? Yep. Matched exactly what I already had jotted down from the school site. Good, felt confirmed.
Wrapping It Up – The Reality
So, boom. That’s the process. No fancy apps, no calling the AD office (though that’s a backup plan if online fails). Just went straight to the source – Nazareth’s own athletics page – found the football schedule, and picked out the home dates by checking the location column. Double-checked against the conference site. Seems solid. Now, gotta note: high school schedules can change sometimes, maybe weather or something, but based on official postings right now in 2024, those five Fridays are the home games. Mission accomplished!
