Wood is our last regular season game, and during the pre-game ceremony we will honor our senior players and their parents. All mothers are to meet Kate Smith behind the Home team bench immediately after the junior varsity football game. All fathers are to report to Room 120, the football equipment room (behind the stadium), after half time of the junior varsity game to pick up their son's jersey. The fathers will then meet with Karen Papadopoulos under the goal post at the south end of the stadium (tennis court side) after the varsity team takes the field for warm-ups. When the ceremony begins, the senior players will escort their fathers to the middle of the field where they will join their mothers for a family picture. Fathers may continue to wear their son's jersey during the game, but must return the jersey to the equipment room or to Coach Green immediately after the game. We eagerly anticipate your participation in this traditional activity. Thanks for being a part of the Vacaville Bulldog family!!!
