October 7 homecoming football game to be played against Bloomfield Hills High School on William Kozyra Alumni Field; rest of season schedule nearly set.
The athletic department of Notre Dame Preparatory School and Marist Academy announced today that the school’s 2016 homecoming game will be held Friday, October 7, at 7:30 p.m.
According to Betty Wroubel, NDPMA’s athletic director and assistant principal, the Oct. 7 homecoming game joins nearly a full regular season schedule of games in 2016 for the Fighting Irish varsity football team.
“It has been a lot of work to get this schedule together, but we actually are further along in the process than we were last year at this time,” Wroubel said.
She said that the first two games of the season, versus Redford Thurston and Tecumseh high schools, are against the same opponents as last year’s first two games.
“Coach Fox and his staff are really looking forward to this new season,” she added. “Our September 23 date remains open as of today, but we plan to fill that fairly soon as well.”
The school also said it is well on its way to filling all other fall sports schedules, with those for boys soccer, volleyball, girls swimming and diving, and cross country nearly complete.
The following is the Notre Dame varsity football schedule (subject to change) as of today, Feb. 18, 2016:
August 26 (Fri.) at Redford Thurston High School, 7 p.m.
Sept. 1 (Thurs.) at Tecumseh High School, 7 p.m.
