Friday night is the last home game of the year for Denison High's football team, and a downtown events list from October shows one more tailgate planned beforehand.
Denison hosts the Celina Bobcats at Munson Stadium in the final week of the regular season. The Yellow Jackets no longer have a way into the playoffs, while Celina has already secured a postseason spot, KXII reported. KTEN previewed the matchup as a tough test for Denison.
Coach Brian Lilly wants his team to start strong against the Bobcats, according to KXII, which also noted that many of Denison's key players are due back next season.
Tailgate at Touchdown Alley
Before kickoff, the season's final Yellow Jacket Tailgating is listed for 5 to 6:30 p.m. at Touchdown Alley in Forest Park. The event appears on the upcoming-events list in the Main Street promotion committee's October summary, part of the packet for the city's Oct. 22 Main Street Advisory Board meeting.
The same list shows downtown staying busy after the game. The Día de los Muertos Festival runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday at Heritage Park on West Main Street, according to the city calendar.
