The Owen High School football team will restock the Warhorse stables, from 5 - 8 p.m., Friday, July 30, when coaches and players host Owen Youth Football Night. 

The free event, open to rising kindergarten - 8th-grade students, will give parents the opportunity to register their children for the Owen Warhorse Youth Football and Cheerleading organization.

Owen High School Head Coach Brint Russell and his staff will be joined by their players in Warhorse Stadium, where they will lead a punt, pass, kick competition and football drills. Participants will receive a free hot dog dinner and those in attendance can sign up for a season ticket raffle. Parents are invited to drop their children off or stay and watch the event. 

Owen Youth Football Night will give future Warhorses the opportunity to learn the game from current players, who begin the season at home against Chase High School, Friday, Aug. 27. It is the first public event led by Russell, who took over the program in June. 

Owen Warhorse Youth Football and Cheerleading is a Swannanoa Valley nonprofit youth football league. Players can register for the organization from 6 -8 p.m. at Veterans Park, Monday, July 26 and Tuesday, July 27, or during Youth Football Night. 

The deadline for registration for the upcoming season is Tuesday, Aug. 10. For more information on Owen Warhorses Youth Football and Cheerleading, visit the website linked here.
