Game day activities begin at 4:30PM in the Farmer's Market Pavillion and ALL fans are invited (families, alumni, parishioners, and community)!

BE THERE BY 4:45PM to line the WALK and cheer for our boys in blue! We encourage elementary students and anyone to make respectful, appropriate signs and bring noise makers to use at the walk (which can also be used at the game but NOT during play). Our football boys really enjoy seeing the youth at the walk and the energy and excitement motivate our players! And bonus the weather looks great!
Our boys need our Colgan family there supporting them! WE ARE COLGAN!
