Tehachapi recently took to Coy Burnett Field for an inter-squad scrimmage this past weekend in preparation for a couple of big contests ahead.
The Warriors are set to lock horns against Highland-Bakersfield in a scrimmage this Friday (Aug-29) and kickoff the season against Segerstrom-Santa Ana in an 80th anniversary extravaganza next Saturday (Sept-6).
“Our first game (against Segerstrom) will have a homecoming-like atmosphere,” said head coach Steve Denman. “It should be a great game against a quality opponent and we hope that the game being on a Saturday afternoon we can get a great turnout from the community.”
The Warriors football program will be celebrating their past, present and future during a special season opener pre-game/halftime ceremony against Segerstrom-Santa Ana, with all former warrior football players asked to join in on the festivities.
Football Alumni in attendance will be honored in a special pre-game introduction prior to the varsity kickoff at 6:30pm. Former players are asked to contact the THS athletic office in advance at 822-2131 or email Tehachapi High School Vice-Principal Paul Press at ppress@teh.k12.ca.us. When contacting the school, leave your first and last name and year of graduation. The day of the game, you are asked to verify your attendance at the front gate on or before 5:45 p.m.
“We want to try and make this game a special event for the community,” said Tehachapi Vice-Principal Paul Press. “This is a town with a lot of tradition, especially in football, and we would like to honor that and celebrate 80 years of Tehachapi High School. It’s a can’t-miss event and hopefully we can pack the stands.”
All three THS football teams will be playing in the 80th anniversary game, with the freshmen (2pm), junior varsity (4pm), and varsity (6:30pm) kicking off their season openers. Future Warrior players (GEYF Tomahawks) will be introduced during a special halftime show.
Scrimmage this Friday
Tehachapi will have their first game-action in a scrimmage against Highland-Bakersfield this Friday (Aug-29) at Coy Burnett Field. Times for each scrimmage will be freshmen (3:30pm), junior varsity (5pm) and varsity (7pm).
