The game will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Cozel Foster-Veterans Memorial Stadium, and is expected to be sold out.
EPISD Superintendent Gilberto Gonzalez invites the community to enjoy the event, and to tastefully show their team pride and love for football.
“We had a meeting with both the principals and coaches of the high schools just to make sure that we’re doing everything to protect our students, as the safety of our kids is the most important thing. We’ve taken the steps such as an increase in vigilance at the game and during the entire week at the campuses just to make sure that no students are hurt, and no buildings or statues are defaced,” said Gonzalez. “We encourage the spirit of competition on the field. I wish both teams good luck as I know it’s going to be a hard fought game.”
Gonzalez advises the public to arrive early, and asks those attendending to refrain from bringing any type of fireworks, loud horns, or other prohibited items.
