The Charlotte Trojans are gearing up for the upcoming high school football season and local fans are invited to help kick off the action under the Friday night lights - or rather, the early Saturday morning air.

Charlotte High School will hold its Football Midnight Madness on Saturday, Aug. 8, from midnight to 1:30 a.m. at Trojan Field.
