In addition, there will be several events including a Hornet Car Wash that was held yesterday and a Cheerleader Cook-out that’s being held today from noon- 5 p.m. at the Kroger on Crabapple Road. The weeklong event concludes with a scrimmage on Friday, August 13, between the Hornets and the Kell Longhorns. The scrimmage gets underway at 7:30 p.m. at Ray Manus Stadium. Local vendor booths, special guests and a few surprises will also be in store during the game.   

“We’re looking forward to a great football season, the team has been working hard all summer and this is a great way to kick things off,” said Leo Barker, Roswell High School head football coach. “We want everyone to come out to the scrimmage and support our business partners who work with us all year.”
