Football At Fouts This Thursday Night

[NT80]

"Celina-Ferris opener is set

According to Celina head football coach and athletic director Butch Ford the Bobcats will open their 2009 football season ... on a Thursday night in Denton.

Ford says the eight-time state-champion and 2008 state runner-up Bobcats will take on the Ferris Yellowjackets on Thursday, August 27 at the University of North Texas' Fouts Field, in the 2009 Fellowship of Christian Athletes Kickoff Classic.

Celina typically opens its football season on a neutral field, mainly because it's doggone hard for the Bobcats to find somebody willing to play them home and away. Last August, they drove to Temple for a 66-0 rout of Lytle, which begged out of a return match "for budgetary reasons" (my emphasis).

Ferris had an open date to fill after playing a California school, Sutter Union, in the same spot last year in Mesquite."

Question: Will the new stadium increase the amount of high school regular season and playoff games played at UNT?

I believe it will at least triple the amount of yearly games, thus advertising UNT's campus and athletic facilities to many more potential students and athletes.

Finally a game that fits Fouts Field's only purpose, hosting Class 2A High School Football.

Not to mention, Celina always puts on a good show. You can see how the spread really works.

Fouts only purpose is for track meets which is what this may turn out to be.
