Meanwhile, it will be a nostalgic night in Two Rivers where the Raiders open their season and honor legendary football coach, Jerry Bonino.
Coach Kevin Shillcox and company play host to the Rams of Random Lake in a 7:00 p.m. kickoff.
During halftime, a special ceremony will be held to formally rename the field after Coach Bonino, who led the Raiders to three consecutive WIAA State championships between 1980-and-’82.
Many of his former players, students and their families are expected to be in attendance.
We plan on having complete coverage of the ceremony and sound bites tomorrow morning (August 20th) on 107.9 FM WOMT, along with pictures of the Bonino Field ceremony.
