The Penn-Trafford School District’s Athletic Department held it’s annual ‘Youth Night’ to kick off the first home football game of the year on September 2.
Youth from the Penn Trafford Midget Athletic Association football and cheer teams, along with the middle school and 9th-grade teams, were all announced during the pre-game activities. When their names were called, each student ran down the track, through a tunnel formed by the high school cheerleaders, and gathered with the band to welcome the Warrior Football Team to the field.
