Liberty’s Ben Burgess brings down Freedom’s Chad Combs during the inaugural Alumni Bell Game in 2011. This year’s event is scheduled for Nov. 3.
According to Kevin Lee of Alumni Athletics USA, which organizes the game, the Lions alumni want to prove that last year’s 9-3 hard-fought victory was no fluke, though Freedom’s alumni have plans to redeem the loss.
Lee said the game promises to pack the same punch as last year’s, including pre-game and halftime activities. A parachutist is scheduled to deliver the game ball at midfield prior to kickoff.
Lee said organizers are still looking for businesses to sponsor the event. Tickets are $8 in advance or $10 the day of the event. For tickets, Liberty fans can call Kari Wood at 209-969-9079 or Liberty High School at 925-634-3521. Freedom fans should call Matt Pirnat at 925-382-1940 or Freedom High School at 925-625-5900.
