The game will kick off at 6 p.m., with gates opening at 5 p.m.

Tickets must be purchased at the gate as no online sales will be available, and there will be a limit on the number of tickets sold for both the home and visitor sections.

“Safety is our paramount concern for spectators from both communities,” Huber Heights City Schools Superintendent Jason Enix said. “We believe these measures will help contribute to a positive atmosphere at what will certainly be a terrific high school football game Friday.”
