The High Country Grizzlies are all set to take the field at Holmes Convocation Center on Saturday for the 2018 season opener. Kickoff will be at 7 p.m.
The Grizzlies will be taking on the Richmond Roughriders for the first of two meetings this season. The Grizzlies will travel to Richmond on June 2.
For this game, the High Country Grizzlies are extending a special invitation to all homeschooled children to come out for the season opener. The Grizzlies have set a goal hoping to have 1,000 homeschool students in attendance from not only the High Country but also other surrounding areas. The children will have a chance to meet the players and participate in a competition for the most homeschoolers in attendance by county.
The Grizzlies have also partnered with the Northwest North Carolina Food Bank and will be hosting a food drive on Saturday night. Fans are asked to bring food to donate.
Tickets are still available and can be purchased through the High Country Grizzlies website at highcountrygrizzlies.com.
