High School Football Showdown Set for Boys' Latin

Boys Latin is getting extra amped about this week’s football game against John Carroll now that the Baltimore Ravens selected the game as its “High School Football Showdown” of the week.

Each week, the team picks a game to spotlight based on responses to an online poll.

Now that it’s been selected, Boys Latin will have its stadium decked out with Ravens banners and flags for the game, where the Baltimore Ravens cheerleaders and mascot Poe will be in attendance.

Members of both teams will also get special t-shirts that say “Ravens RISE High School Football Showdown.”

The honor comes with a perk for the schools too; the Ravens will award $500 in donations to the athletic departments of both Boys Latin and John Carroll.

The John Carroll Patriots will take on the Boys Latin Lakers at 4 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 9.
