Area new car dealerships have begun selling T.C. Patriot Game shirts today. This is the third year that the annual football clash between Central and West high schools will become a way to honor local veterans and those who have died while serving in the military.
This year Central supporters will wear red shirts, while those backing West will don blue shirts. Organizers say they hope to have both sides of Thirlby Field flooded with a sea of red and blue shirts. The contest between the two schools is the biggest football event of the year with the stadium filled to capacity. It will be held Friday, September 12.
A ceremony will be held before the game to honor northern Michigan veterans and give special recognition to those who have been killed in recent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Veterans will be allowed into the game again this year at no charge. (more…)
