Fontana Unified Football Rivalry Resumes as Community Honors First Responders on 9-11
Anticipation is building in Fontana Unified as Fontana and A.B. Miller high schools prepare to resume their football rivalry on Friday, Sept. 11, a night that will also honor the City of Fontana’s police officers, firefighters, and paramedics during a special First Responders Night at A.B. Miller Stadium. First responders will receive free entry to the rivalry game in honor of their service to the Fontana community and also to mark 25 years since 9/11. A group of local first responders will serve as honorary team captains, taking the field for the pregame coin toss. Additionally, a commemorative Fontana T-shirt that reads, “5 Schools, 1 City” will be gifted to the first 100 residents at the game who have taken a photo of themselves at the 9/11 statue located at City Hall. Fontana High School’s (FOHI) Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (MCJROTC) will also present colors prior to kickoff.
