There's something about fall in Annapolis that just feels like Navy. The mornings are crisp. The leaves begin to turn. Tailgate lots fill with Navy blue and gold. Families stroll the Yard in sweatshirts instead of T-shirts, and Saturdays become all about football, friends, and tradition.

The Naval Academy sports schedules are out. The tailgates are being planned. The cheers of "Go Navy, Beat Army!" are getting louder. That can only mean one thing: fall sports season has officially arrived.

No one wants to bid summer goodbye, but the smell of new notebooks, the feel of a fresh school wardrobe, and the promise of a new school year are enticing. Shop early and enjoy the best of both worlds: savoring summer while getting ready for fall. Back-to-school season approaches, which means it's time to check off everything on your school supply list, refresh your closet, and prepare for a new year of learning, growing, and making memories.
