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!

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! 🏈
