FRESNO, Calif. (FOX26) \u2014 Four Fresno Unified high school football teams got their chance to play under the Friday night lights at Bulldog Stadium.<\/p>\n
Students from Hoover, Sunnyside, Roosevelt, and Bullard high schools took the field for a special night of football, school spirit, and memorable moments.<\/p>\n
The event brought together students, parents, and school staff to cheer on the young athletes as they played at the stadium, home of the Fresno State Bulldogs.<\/p>\n
For Hoover High School senior Mya Delrio, the game was something she and her classmates had been looking forward to all season.<\/p>\n
“We’ve been hyping up this game for a while,” Delrio said. “Everybody’s been so excited.”<\/p>\n
Hoover High School Vice Principal Gabi Brittsan said the opportunity let students play in a venue bigger than their usual high school field.<\/p>\n
“We’re so excited,” Brittsan said. “This is such a great opportunity for our kids to come out here and get to play on such a big stage.”<\/p>\n
Fresno Unified teacher Jenna O’Neal said the atmosphere allowed students to experience the excitement of playing in a major stadium.<\/p>\n
For some players, taking the field offered a glimpse of what college-level play might feel like.<\/p>\n
“The students get to be on the field, get to kind of feel like they’re in college, a D1 school,” O’Neal said. “They don’t get that opportunity all the time.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FRESNO, Calif.
