This Saturday is the Annual Howe Community Pep Rally at Bulldog Stadium which will start at 7 pm. The tradition began in 2011 and has continued with only one year missed (2016) due to rain. The community pep rally is the kick-off to the new school year and sports season and Friday Night Lights. Teams from kindergarten through varsity will get to run through the Bulldog tunnel and be introduced in front of the large Bulldog Stadium crowd.
All teams being introduced need to be present at the stadium no later than 6:15 pm for lineup with their team’s jerseys on. Some teams have been told to be there earlier by their coaches.
The Howe Athletic Booster Club will be raffling and drawing for two reserved seats for all varsity home games. Little Ernie’s Cafe food truck will be on-site starting at 6 pm.
The evening will begin with the national anthem and flag-raising by the Howe Pack 45 Cub Scouts. Following will be a Howe Head Coaches Reunion as a tribute to Norman Dickey for his 50+ years dedicated to Howe athletics. A special passing of the torch from Coach Zack Hudson to Coach Bill Jehling will follow the Norman Dickey tribute.
Recently retired Coach Steve Simmons will be recognized prior to the entrance of all the teams through the tunnel. The event should make for a memorable evening and a great way to start a new season.
