During the event, Grizzly fans were introduced to the freshman, junior varsity and varsity football teams for the 2017 season.
The freshmen played a scrimmage to show off their skills at 5:30 p.m., junior varsity followed at 6:30 p.m., and varsity finished the night with a scrimmage at 7:30 p.m.
During the scrimmages, players were in full gear to provide the feel of a true game.
Between the junior varsity scrimmage and that of varsity, Grizzly fans were given the opportunity to watch the first performance from the 2017-2018 drill team and cheer squad.
The two teams danced as one for the first half of their performance; then, the drill team took over on the dance while the cheer squad performed stunts and pyramids in the background.
