The first home football game of the season is always a big event for Point Loma High School and the community — and this year is no exception. Volunteers have been busy cleaning and sprucing up venerable Pete Ross Stadium in preparation for the big event in just over two weeks. The Pointers will battle Lincoln High School on Saturday, Sept. 10 in the annual “Kick-Off” event, and the three football games are just part of the fun promised. Every Pointer team will see action in the triple-header. The freshmen game begins at 10 a.m. with the junior varsity following at 12:30 p.m. The varsity “main event” gets under way at 3 p.m. But when the day’s last play concludes, the celebration will continue. The Pointer Association will host an open-air “Kick-Off Fiesta” on the school tennis courts with dinner, music and a silent auction. At $12 for adults and $9 for students, dinner guests will be treated to a menu of carne asada or chicken tacos, cheese quesadillas and mulitas (quesadillas with meat). Meals will also include rice, beans and drinks. Among the items to be auctioned: • Preferred student parking for a year; • VIP reserved graduation seating for six people; • Reserved seating for the Oct. 14 Homecoming game; and • Special seating for four people at the annual “Shoe” game on Oct. 21 against La Jolla. Additional auction items are still being accepted. Game ticket prices are $9 for adults and $6 for students and seniors. Tickets for both the games and the dinner can be pre-purchased through a link on the school website, www.pointloma-high.com. The “Kick-Off” event is being chaired by Maria Gibson, who co-chaired the school’s 85th Gala in November.
