Football comes early to Fallbrook with big weekend kick-off

FALLBROOK – Football is coming to Fallbrook a little early this year starting with the annual Fallbrook Warrior Football Lift-a-thon on Friday, Aug. 15 and culminating with the annual Red & White Scrimmage, Pancake Breakfast, and Community Pep Rally on Saturday, Aug. 16 with entertainment by the Marching Warriors band, and dance and cheer teams.

The lift-a-thon will begin at 5 p.m. on Friday in the new gym at Fallbrook High School. All teams will be battling the bench press to lift their maximum weight and trying to beat their best past performance. The snack bar will be open with pizza from Scoreboard Pizza and other snacks and drinks. Players are currently looking for sponsors to make a per pound or flat pledge for their lifts.

The next morning, Saturday, the Fallbrook Football Boosters will be hosting a pancake breakfast ($5 per person) to kick off a day of entertainment starting with the Community Pep Rally at 8 a.m. Walk-ins are welcome and may pay at the gate.

Coach Williams will introduce the team and talk about the season at 8:45 a.m. The varsity will play two 25-minute halves with half time and post-game entertainment by the marching band and the Warrior Dance Team. Following that, the JV and freshman teams will scrimmage each other. This is an opportunity for the community to come see Fallbrook students perform and support them in their fundraising efforts.
