Friday Night Lights

The lights come on for another season of Euclid Panther football August 26, as the Strongsville Mustangs invade Euclid. This season’s opener will be a Thursday evening game, in order to be televised. Coach Tom Gibbons and his staff have worked extremely hard once again to continue the great Euclid Panther football tradition. It promises to be another exciting season, as the Panthers vie for the Lake Erie League honors, and spot in the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) playoffs.

The Panthers play four home games this season. In addition to the season opener, the other dates are Sep. 17 for a first time meeting with Akron's St. Vincent / St. Mary, Oct. 1 with Warren Harding, and Oct. 15 against Cleveland Heights. All games begin at 7 p.m., but why not come early to enjoy the food, the band and spirit of your hometown high school football.

Euclid High School football is one of the greatest entertainment values in this town. Admission is only $6.00 for adults. Parking is free and concessions are reasonable. Euclid residents over 65 year old can go to the Board of Education, located at the Fordyce Building, with proof of residency to obtain a free pass. The Euclid Panther Booster Club concessions are known throughout the area as the BEST! The Booster Dog is a quarter pound, all beef dog that is perfect with stadium mustard. Pizza, popcorn, walking tacos, candy and soft drinks complete the menu. You will not walk away hungry or broke.

Looking forward to seeing everyone cheer on the Panther's this year.
