Friday Night Lights Will Shine at KCD – Come Join the Fun!

Anyone who has been to a Friday night football game at KCD knows there is nothing quite like the excitement of coming together as a school community under the bright lights of Monahan Field.  

To make these special nights even more fun, KCD Football is sponsoring new Friday Night Lights events for all of our home games to encourage our students, parents, teachers, and alumni to share the night together. Here’s what will be happening each home game this Fall:

8/17/18 – vs. Atherton – Back to School Tailgate 7pm

This year’s annual Back to School Tailgate will feature food trucks serving up hot and tasty treats for purchase before the game as well as the usual fun of each class (JK to 12) tailgating in the lower school parking lot, complete with music, sweet treats, and prizes offered by the classes. 

In a “first,” KCD Football players will march in a pre-game parade led by a “pep team” which everyone will be invited to join. Link to Flyer

8/31/18 – vs. Washington County – NEON Night and LS/MS Sports Recognition 7:30pm

Wear your brightest neon colors and come out to support the team!  Kids (and kids at heart!) can get their hair spray painted in neon, too. We also will recognize Lower School and Middle School sports programs for their outstanding achievements in 2017/2018 during half-time.  

9/14/18 – vs. Bethlehem – “Black Out” and Bearcat Festival 7pm

This year’s Bearcat Festival is a little earlier this year, so make plans to enjoy the games, food, and fun and then stay for a great KCD Football game against Bethlehem.  Show your support for the team by earing all black for a Black Out game. 

10/4/18 – vs. Holy Cross – “White Out,” Pep Rally, and High School Fall Sports Recognition 7pm

The KCD/Holy Cross rivalry is one of the most intense in the city, with the District title on the line, so we need to come out in FULL FORCE on this Thursday Night to support the team.  Holy Cross is one of our District Three rivals, and we beat them not once, but TWICE, last year, eliminating them from the playoffs.  Be sure to wear all white for our White Out night to show your support.  

We also will be having an all-school Pep Rally in the middle school courtyard to psyche up our fans and team during pick up from 3:05-3:30 p.m., so be sure to come join this special school-wide event!

Plus, we will have the High School Fall Sports Recognition during half-time at the game, so make plans to attend and stay for all of the excitement.

10/12/18 – vs. Rock Creek – Military Night 

Calling all Bearcats, family, and friends who are former and current military personnel to this special Military Night edition of Friday Night Lights!  Please be sure to invite anyone you know who has served in the military to join us at the game.  All military personal will receive free admission to the game and will be recognized at half-time. 

10/19/18 – vs. Frankfort – Senior Night and School Spirit night

Wear your KCD colors (BLUE AND GOLD) to show your support for KCD Football, and particularly the Seniors.  The Senior Night ceremony will begin promptly at 7:05 p.m., so make plans to cheer on our nine special Seniors and their families.  Also, Frankfort is another big District Three rival, so this is a crucial game for KCD Football.

And, just to make the evening a little more competitive, whichever KCD grade level (LS, MS, US) has the most attendance and school spirit will win a free dress down day, so students be sure to bring your classmates to this fun-filled game!
