The gym was packed on Monday night at Central High with Wildcat fans. Coach Watts and Coach Edwards were impressed with the great spirit organizations that will cheer these teams on during their seasons. All team sports were well represented. Coach Edwards ended the night by letting the fans know that the 105 sitting in front of him were the survivors. Each of these men are more than just football players, they are special unique individuals. The evening ended after the crowd of fans and students sang the CHS Alma Mater.

The Wildcat Backers invite you to become a member and help suppport all CHS athletic programs.  The Wildcat Backers, founded in 1972, exist for the sole purpose of supporting “the athletic endeavors of Central High School Students, including Football, Golf, Baseball, Swimming, Track, Basketball, Tennis, Softball, Wrestling, Volleyball, Soccer, Bowling, Power Lifting, Gymnastics and Cheerleading.”

Meetings are generally held on the first Monday of each month in the Central High cafeteria, howeverm, the September 1st meeting has been moved up to August 25th due to Labor Day.  Regular membership is $50, which all goes to support the athletic programs and Century Club membership is $125.  Century Club members also receive two free season passes to all home sporting events except playoffs.  If you are a regularly attending fan the free passes more than pay for the membership.

Membership in the backers also connects you with a devoted core of CHS backers who regularly meet in service activities to support CHS sports.  The Wildcat Backers also sponsor the Fall and Spring Sports Banquets, Meet the Wildcats and Senior Recognition events.  The sign-up form to become a member of the Backers can be downloaded at the link: JOIN THE BACKERS.

The Backers want to invite everyone to the annual workday at the stadium. Coach Sid has requested that work also be done at the practice field. They need everyone to come out on Saturday, August 16th at 8:00am. Please bring any tools and/or cleaning supplies you have. If you don’t have either, just bring yourself. There will be plenty of work to do!

Also, a great big invite goes out to anyone who is interested in being a Backer. Come and see what the Backers are all about at a social hosted on Monday, August 18th right after “Meet the Wildcats”. If you can bring an appetizer, such as a dessert or chips and dip, please do. Also needed is a two liter bottle of your choice of soda. The social will be held in the cafeteria. Hope to see everyone there.

The goal for Backer membership this year is 200. Remember that your $125 membership will get you and your spouse into all home games of any sport. This means you will more than get your monies worth! This price excludes any and all state play-off games. Below is the Backers application form.
