In a statement, coach Hunter Hughes called the event a tradition and expressed an excitement to greet the Canyon ISD students.
"Welcoming Canyon ISD students back to school has become a tradition for our program and we look forward to it every year, the excitement of starting a new school year and having our players at the front door welcoming them back is fun to watch" Hunter Hughes said in a statement. "It's a great opportunity for our student-athletes to get out in the community and meet the fans that come to Kimbrough on Saturdays in the fall and support us."
