The varsity team also switched up their uniforms to "Black Out Cancer" during the game, held at Batavia High School. They wore their black Batavia Youth Football practice jerseys, a nod to the BYF kids. They also wore pink on their shoes—it was a color visible throughout Bulldog Stadium. The varsity performers had pink poms and people proudly wore the bright color in the stands.

Who's Next?

Batavia takes on St. Charles North at Batavia High School next Friday, Oct. 5, at 7:30 p.m. See you then!
