The Portal High School Panthers, the Southeast Bulloch High School Yellow Jackets, and the Statesboro High School Blue Devils will all have the opportunity to play in The Prettiest Little Stadium in America this weekend at the 11th annual Erk Russell Classic.
The Eagle Football Alumni Association started the event in 2012 to honor the legendary coach and as a fundraiser to endow Georgia Southern football scholarships.
The high school teams will face off in Paulson Stadium on Saturday, August 27, as follows:
- 6pm: Portal Panthers vs. Twiggs County Cobras
- 9pm: Southeast Bulloch Yellow Jackets vs. Statesboro Blue Devils
Tickets for the games are available through Friday at school athletic offices as well as at the gate on Saturday. Pre-purchase tickets are $10 and return revenue to the individual schools. Gate tickets are $15, with all revenue benefiting the fundraiser.
Normal Paulson Stadium regulations will apply.
