Last night was the fall athletic kickoff event at Perry High School for all fall sports this upcoming 2023-2024 season. Overall, it was a fun night that started with the blue and white volleyball scrimmage at 5, followed by the Gatorade scrimmage for the Bluejay football team at 6. Coaches from all fall programs including Perry football, volleyball, boys and girls cross country, and swimming gathered around for a pep rally at Dewey Field. The football team will kick off their season this upcoming Friday night at home against Des Moines Hoover, while volleyball will begin their season next Friday against Roland-Story at the Perry High School gym. For the boys and girls cross country teams, they will open their seasons next Thursday at the Southeast Valley Cross Country Invite at Gowrie Municipal Golf Course, and lastly for girls swimming they will have their opening meet against Algona on Thursday as well at 6:30 at the McCreary Community Building.
