SAN ANTONIO – Get ready for a full day of local high school football at the Alamodome with the KSAT Pigskin Classic.
The first-ever event will make dreams come true for the students playing and performing at the Alamodome.
“As a kid, I used to go to the games that would be at the Alamodome. I used to tell myself, ‘One day I want to play there,’” said Alexander Garza, a senior Steele High School football player.
Levi Dashnea, a senior Steele HS football player, said, “I dream about it every night. A pick 6 in the dome? Who doesn’t want to have that?”
The excitement of the KSAT Pigskin classic also extends to the band, cheerleaders, ROTC, athletic trainers, and parents.
“Every Saturday, you’ve got UTSA playing in the dome, and you’re right there on the cusp, you know? If you’re dreaming big, working hard, then you get that experience,” said Michael Swisher, a parent of a Brennan High School student.
Chakeyia Smith, a parent of a Steele High School student, said, “I have a daughter who is on the color guard, and she’s super excited about joining the football team out there.”
Karen Blanchette, a booster club member for Johnson High School, said,
“A big stage -- I mean, you dream about that for your kids all the time. I don’t know an event where there have been back-to-back-to-back games the way it’s going to be there” at the KSAT Pigskin Classic.
Six football teams from around San Antonio will be participating in the KSAT Pigskin Classic, which will take place on Saturday, Aug. 27.
Brennan, Johnson, Judson, Reagan, Smithson Valley and Steele high schools will play at the Pigskin Classic.
