Shorewood - Shorecrest Rotary Cup football game Friday night

 A capacity crowd is expected at Shoreline Stadium on Friday night, September 23 as Shorecrest takes on Shorewood in their annual Rotary Cup football game at 7 p.m.

Fans are asked to please arrive early to avoid long lines at the gate. Ticket booths and the stadium gates will open at 5:30 pm.

Come out and show your school spirit and support your favorite team! Wear your T-shirts, letterman's jackets, spirit scarves, hats, jackets, beanies, seat cushions, and all things blue and green or green and gold! 

Enjoy the first half of a great football game and then be ready at halftime for a photo to be taken from the 50-yard line of a school-color-packed stadium to be posted on the Web for all to see.

This event is designed to engage parents, students and our community in high school sports and renew and reinforce a sense of pride in our schools.

The Rotary Cup for Friday's winning team

Both Booster organizations will be selling spirit gear on site. Shorecrest is the home team and will also host its Booster BBQ that evening. Both bands will be performing at halftime and as they leave the field, they will join the cheerleaders in front of their respective bleachers on the track for the Spirit Night photo.

The game will also be televised live on the Shoreline Education Access channel 26 (Comcast) or 36 (Frontier), with Frank Workman calling the play-by-play. The telecast is produced by students from both Shorecrest and Shorewood utilizing the District video studio at Shoreline Center.

The game is one of the nominees for the KING 5 Sports Big Game of the Week. The poll is open through Thursday night.  The Shorewood-Shorecrest game is currently 74 votes behind the leader.
