This past spring the South Haven Athletics Office was contacted by a company out of St. Joe called Friday Football Tailgate about having our homecoming date with Watervliet be one of their featured games for the 2024 season, this opportunity has now come to fruition. The company produces a College Gameday-style pregame show which we believe will bring a lot of positive attention to South Haven High School and be a unique experience for our players, coaches, student body, fans, and our little Rams.
In order to allow our fans to become part of this experience, we have to deviate from our normal Homecoming activities. Unfortunately, there will not be room for a parade this year by moving in this direction and, instead, Ratcliffe Field will be the focus of this year’s pregame festivities. On that day we will be setting aside the area in the Southeast corner of the property, inside the overflow gate and south of visiting bleachers, as a student tailgate area. Student tailgating will begin at 4: 00 pm and the pregame show will run from 5:00 - 6:00 pm. South Haven students of all ages are invited to enjoy the atmosphere and take in the show. Following its completion, we will open up the tailgating area to outside groups to promote a carnival atmosphere.
More news will be forthcoming, including information on parking and the Friday Football Tailgate Organization. Circle Friday, October 4 on your calendar and come join the 2024 South Haven Homecoming Festivities.
JV Soccer Home Game has been moved back 30 minutes and will now begin at 5:30pm, Varsity game to follow.
