In addition, a moment of silence will be held before the start of each game. Concessions will be available for purchase throughout the day.
With 140 football players and cheerleaders from Amity alone, not counting the surrounding towns’ players and families, a big outcome is expected for Sunday’s event. Officials are planning accordingly.
“We went out and bought all kinds of special food” said Pop Warner President Rich Photos.
