The Natick Redhawks travel to Shrewsbury to open the season in a nonleague matchup Friday night at Shrewsbury High School. Both teams enter the season 0-0 and will use this early test to tune up for league play. Kickoff is set for 4:30 p.m. EDT.

Why this one matters

Season openers set the tone: Both squads will be looking for clean execution and momentum heading into the regular schedule.

Home-field edge: Shrewsbury gets the comfort of playing at home in front of its fans; expect emphasis on special teams and ball security in what should be a physical nonleague contest.

No recent meeting listed: There’s no last-meeting data available, so this could be the start of a renewed local rivalry.
