VALENTINE, Neb. - It’s your chance to celebrate and support the Valentine Badgers as they kick off the fall sports season. The Badger Gatorade Scrimmage will be held Thursday, Aug. 21. The volleyball scrimmage begins at 5 p.m. at Valentine High School, followed by a hamburger feed at 5:30 p.m. Football and cross-country starts at 6 p.m. at Badger Memorial Field. You’re asked to bring Gatorade for admission.

“We then use that Gatorade to provide drinks to athletes throughout the season,” said Valentine Badger Boosters President Danielle Wackler.

Proceeds from the hamburger feed also support the Badger Boosters, which helps fund athletic programs, new equipment and facility upgrades such as bleachers and scoreboards. Membership sign-ups will also be available during the event.

“Help support the kids as they gear up for the fall season. It’s a fun time of year,” Wackler said.
