The season is culminated by the annual “Pumpkin Bowl” under the lights at Michael Field! The players are divided into two teams and introduced individually prior to kickoff so they can see what it feels like to play under the “Friday Night Lights” when they are older. Complete with announcers, officials, and the Middle School Pep Band, this is just a great game night experience that is usually followed with a Middle School Dance/Fun Night!

In addition to the games, the players will participate in a “Skittles” in-house series of games in which the players are divided equally into teams and issued colorful jerseys. These are fun afternoons and the coaches will “Coach-on-the-run” and keep the emphasis on fun at the same time.
