Friday Night Lights in the Ozarks: How to Support Your Local Teams

2024 High School Football Guide

August 24, 2024

As the crisp autumn air sets in and the leaves begin to turn, it's time to gear up for Friday Night Lights in the Ozarks! There's nothing quite like the thrill of cheering on your local Springfield, Missouri area high school football teams under the stadium lights. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, alumni, or a proud community member, there's something magical about being part of the action.


Supporting Your Team Goes Beyond Cheering

While cheering from the stands is a great way to show support, there are many other ways you can help make the season a success for the students involved in football, cheerleading, and marching band. Consider purchasing concessions or raffle tickets at the games—these sales often fund vital programs for the teams and bands. Additionally, supporting booster clubs through donations or volunteering your time can make a significant impact, ensuring these students have the resources they need to shine on and off the field.
