Blackhawk Pride Night is Friday

The 12th annual Blackhawk Pride Night is set for Friday, Aug. 28. The event is hosted by the junior and senior high Blackhawk cheerleaders.

"It's always a fun event," Tony Travis, head football coach, said. "We highlight the band and cheer programs as far as performances go, but all fall teams get recognized. It's a great way to kick off the school year, and a solid fundraiser for the cheer programs."

There will be performances from each cheer team and the band, Blackhawk merchandise for sale and a raffle of many items, according to Blackhawk cheer coach Noelle Littrell-Webb.
