Warrior football team members will head north to take on the Aberdeen Central Golden Eagles in the 12th

annual Hub City Bowl high school football doubleheader tonight at 8 p.m. at Swisher Field to kick-off the season.

Aberdeen Roncalli will play Redfield-Doland at 5:15 p.m. in the first game of the event. Tickets are $7 for adults, $3 for K-12 students and $20 for a family pass.

Last season the Warriors finished with a record of 3-6, but will be using that this season as their motivation to improve.

Coach Chad Stadem said he believes the

players are prepared for tonight’s game. “The players have been working extreme-

ly hard in practice and are looking for self improvement,” Stadem said.

The Warriors will be returning four starters on offense, and five on defense.

Senior Caleb York, a defensive lineman, has been anxiously awaiting tonight’s game, and thinks the Warriors will be ready.

“I am really excited to get back on the field tonight,” York said. “All of the guys have been putting in lots of hard work on the practice fields and I believe we are all ready. As a team we just need to come out prepared and with lots of intensity, us seniors will need to show lots of leadership on the field to get us going.”

My fellow Warriors, tonight the WHS football team kicks-off their season at Aberdeen Central.

This means September is nearly upon us. The count-down for the best week of the year has officially started.

H o m e c o m i n g is only 16 days away, believe it or not. You may think that is a long way away, but it is never too early to start

planning your outfits. The upcoming three day weekend is the perfect time

to scavenge through the Goodwill and other second hand stores—one man’s junk is another man’s treasure!

Last year was the first year in a long while that WHS had a theme for the week, and that continues this year with “There’s No Place Like HOMEcoming.” Monday is class color day. Go all out and bring some pride to your class—freshmen that means you, too! Twister Tuesday is next—have a little fun and get wacky. Wednesday is twin day—find your best look alike and have some fun! Thursday is animal day—just be unique and have fun. Friday, as always, is Warrior Spirit Day—dress in orange and black from head to toe.

I advise all to participate in the dress up days. If you don’t, I guarantee you will feel foolish. Remember, there is no such thing as too much spirit during homecoming week. Go all out and have a blast! The people that make homecoming the best are those that have fun with it! Junior Sydney Arrington is ready to go wild on animal day.
