The fifth annual Greencastle-Antrim alumni flag football game, Greencastle-Antrim Gridiron Greats, will be held at noon Saturday, Nov. 24, on Kaley Field.

All former Greencastle-Antrim football players and coaches are invited to play or to come watch.

The public is welcome.

Contact Bill Windle, Class of 99, at william.windle@fema.dhs.gov or by calling him at 703-489-1430 for more information.

Alumni of other sports will join in the festivities during the second annual Alumni Games, sponsored by G-A MAAX (Maximizing ARts and Athletic X-cellence), a $2.5 million fundraising campaign to repay the district for the money borrowed to upgrade Kaley Field, the north field, the six-lane track and provide new lighting at the stadium.

Field hockey alumni will follow football with a game at 2 p.m. and then soccer plays at 4 p.m. on Kaley Field, and alumni volleyball is served up in the gym at 6. Former G-AHS marching band members will also join in with pep music in the stands during the football contest.

Past athletes or band members are encouraged to participate.

Spectators are encouraged.
