Geneseo High School’s football program will kick off its 2024 campaign with a scrimmage against Pleasant Valley High School (Iowa) on August 23 at Bob Reade Field.
The event will start at 5 p.m. with gates opening at 4:15 p.m. Admission will be a freewill donation with funds benefiting the GHS athletic department.
While traditionally the season began with its Green-White scrimmage, bringing in an opponent allows for an overall higher level of competition.
“It’s a new format that I think will benefit our football program,” said Athletic Director Joe Nichols. “We’ll see our first-team players go against Pleasant Valley’s starters, and the same with our second-stringers. It will be a nice challenge for our student-athletes and provide a little bit of a measuring stick as we prepare for the opener on August 30.”
The event will begin at 5 p.m. with the frosh-soph scrimmage, which will consist of 48 total plays.
A junior varsity scrimmage is scheduled to start at 6:10 and will feature 32 total plays.
The varsity scrimmage is scheduled to begin at 6:35 with 40 total plays over four 10-play segments.
Upon conclusion of the scrimmages, cheerleaders will be introduced and autograph night will be held.
