Johnston Football Scrimmages are Aug. 17, 18

Johnston football fans will have two opportunities to catch the teams in pre-season action on Thursday, August 17 and Friday, August 18.

Due to areas of the high school athletic complex still being under construction, scrimmages on both nights will be held at the Johnston Stadium, behind Johnston Middle School (6501 NW 62nd Ave, Johnston). Dragon fans, wear your purple gear and cheer on the teams! All fans are encourage to donate a Gatorade, Powerade or sports drink at the gate; this contribution fuels the team throughout the season.
