All eyes are on the Houston Mustangs as they prepare to gallop towards potential glory in the BlueCross Bowl this Saturday, December 7. The Mustangs, gearing up to possibly clinch the title of Shelby County’s first back-to-back State Champions, will face Oakland High School in a high-stakes showdown at Finley Stadium in Chattanooga, as confirmed by Germantown's official news posting. Scheduled for a 7 p.m. Eastern Time kickoff, the game will also be available for fans to stream live online or purchase tickets to witness the action firsthand.
For those who wish to show unwavering support but can’t physically be at the game, the option to virtually cheer the team is on the table. Supporters are called to publicly display their Mustang pride by sharing photos and videos on social media, sporting the team’s gear coupled with hashtags #StangStateSpirit and #RepeatTheFeat. This rallying cry was announced in the same statement, encouraging fans to digitally join the fray while remembering to tag @germantowntenn and @gmsdk12 in their posts.
A special send-off for the team has been organized for Saturday morning, December 7, as the statement tells us. The local community can participate in the early morning festivities by lining up along Wolf River Boulevard and the western driveway of Houston High School at 7:45 a.m. The buses, marking the team's departure, are set to roll out at 8:15 a.m., with parking available at the school located at 9755 Wolf River Boulevard. The Germantown Police Department will oversee traffic control to ensure a smooth procession for fans and the team alike.
Meanwhile, an official watch party is slated for fans unable to make it to Chattanooga. The chosen venue is Nashoba, set at 4600 Merchants Park Circle, Suite 111, Collierville, TN, and the event is geared to start at 6 p.m. on Saturday. This gathering offers a place for the Mustang enthusiasts to collectively roar in support as the team vies to again capture the crown. Fans are invited to join the watch party, as the BlueCross Bowl unfurls and history potentially gets to be made.
