The 2012 Peyton Manning PeyBack Classic XIII will be held on Friday, August 17th at Lucas Oil Stadium. The first game of the double header begins at 6:00 pm with our own Heritage Christian Eagles vs. rival Cardinal Ritter followed by game two with Merrillville vs. Warren Central. Gates open at 5:30pm.
“We are so excited to begin our season with this game at Lucas Oil Stadium. What a special first night of High School football. Our hope is that we can end the season as well at Lucas Oil Stadium playing for the State Championship!” said Varsity Head Football Coach Ron Qualls.
Peyton Manning launched the PeyBack Classic in 2000. To date over 35 Indiana high schools have participated in the event, allowing hundreds of student athletes the opportunity to play on an NFL sanctioned field. Manning established the PeyBack Foundation in 1999 to help disadvantaged youth build a successful future. The Foundation accomplishes its mission through helping established community-based programs provide fundamental leadership and growth opportunities for kids. The PeyBack Foundation focuses its efforts in a three state region and has donated more than $6 million to youth organizations in Indiana, Tennessee, and Louisiana since its inception.
Many thanks to our athletic training partner, St. Vincent’s Health for making our participation in the PeyBack Classic possible. Advanced discounted ticket sales will begin Wednesday, August 1 in the Fine Arts Building entrance or the Athletic Department. Ticket prices are $5.00 (adults) and $3.00 (students in high school and below). Ages 5 and under are free. Ticket prices at the gate on the day of the event will be $10 and $6.00 for youth 12 and under. Bring the family and come support your school and team at this unique event; what a great way to ‘kick-off’ the school year!
