Next Friday marks our first home football game of the season as the Discoverers take on the Norfolk Panthers — a historic rivalry now in its 102nd year! To make the night even more special, we’re teaming up with Pinnacle Bank for a WHITE OUT theme. Shirts are available for purchase in the link below until Tuesday.
https://battle102.itemorder.com/shop/home/
Students and families are encouraged to wear white to show your Discoverer pride — even if you don’t purchase a rivalry shirt, we hope you'll join in the WHITE OUT spirit!
The first 200 CHS students seated in the CHS student section will receive a FREE white rivalry t-shirt, courtesy of Pinnacle Bank! (Students may still purchase a shirt via the link if they'd like a specific size or style.)
Please help spread the word — the more WHITE in the stands, the better! Let’s pack the stands and make it a night to remember.
Go Discoverers! 🏈
