CLINTON, IA (June 28, 2017) - The Clinton LumberKings and the Community State Banks in Fulton and Morrison are excited to announce the addition of two more High School football games to be played at historic Ashford University Field in 2017.
On October 6th, the Riverdale High School Rams will host the Fulton High School Steamers in the "Riverside Classic".
On October 13th, the Morrison High School Mustangs will host the Rockridge High School Rockets in the "Stadium Showdown".
Kickoff for both dates will be at 5 pm - starting with the junior varsity matchups and followed by the varsity games at approximately 7 PM.
"We are excited to be teaming up with the LumberKings to expand the high school football schedule at Ashford University Field. This will be yet another great chapter in the stadium's storied history," said Community State Bank President in Morrison Kevin Schisler. "Last year proved that football at this historic stadium not only works but thrives and extending the high school football schedule to three games is something we are happy to be a part of. This will be a great opportunity for the students of the participating high schools to apply their talent in a venue that has been linked to so many great athletic events in our community. Thanks to the LumberKings for making this possible!"
The games look to build off the success of the inaugural Lumber Bowl in which Camanche High School faced off against Williamsburg High School in 2016. With the return of the Lumber Bowl on September 22nd (Camanche vs. Mid-Prairie) and the addition of two more high school games - football will return to Ashford University Field for the second straight season after an over 30-year hiatus.
Tickets for all games are on sale now. All Riverdale, Fulton, Rockridge and Morrison High School and Three Rivers Athletic Conference passes will be honored. Tickets can be purchased on-line at lumberkings.com
