Friday night lights are BACK tomorrow, and we’re ready for the hype, the touchdowns and the all-out school spirit. 🎉👏📣

Just a friendly reminder:
📣 Middle school students must be accompanied by an adult—no solo entry allowed (and yes, we will be those people making sure a parent/guardian comes to get them).
📣 All students, no matter their grade, must show a valid school ID to get in.
📣 Backpacks and large bags are not allowed.
📣 This goes for all high school sporting events.

PSA over. 😅 Thanks for showing love to all our MCSD teams, no matter the sport. Here’s to packed stands, big plays, and a season full of moments worth replaying!
