Athletic Director Michael Traficante told 12 News that the Thanksgiving Day showdown is more than just a game.
"We are very fortunate to have two great bands, Westernettes, Falconettes, Emerald Core, cheerleaders, as well as the ROTC color guard," he said. "It's a great pregame and halftime show, so to create the best opportunity for this to happen, the East/West Thanksgiving day football game has officially been moved."
Kickoff is set for 6 p.m.
