West Aurora High School football fans can watch a live video webcast of the home game against Naperville Central at 7 p.m., Friday, Sept. 11.
The webcast will include a pre-game tribute to all local police and fire personnel who are in attendance. West Aurora and Naperville Central football players will form a tunnel for police and fire personnel to enter the field behind the Aurora Fire Department Color Guard. Fans will then sing “God Bless America” prior to the “National Anthem.”
Both teams will be wearing helmets with a decal showing the number 438 on an American flag, in memory of all the police, fire, and port police personnel who lost their lives during the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
The game will be shown on the school district Web site, www.sd129.org.
West High Broadcast Club students, supervised by teacher Steve Williams, will once again produce the webcast. They will be joined by Neal Ormond, the voice of the Blackhawks, who will call the game along with Rick Albright, a West High graduate and long-time teacher and coach.
