Sneak Peak of the Homecoming Band Performance! It takes practice, but also it was so much fun as dozens of alumni attended a 90 minute practice Thursday with the current marching band!
More than 300 alumni are expected, and there will be another run through a few hours before Kickoff on October 2. The Band's alumni will join them for halftime.
Seeing this in person is the BEST way--but you can also watch on BSTN's livestream of tonight's game.

Warren added another touchdown just before halftime on a 26-yard scoring play to take a 20-0 lead into the break.
The Raiders added two more touchdowns in the second half, both coming on touchdown passes, to complete the 34-0 victory.
Defensively, Landen Prozy and Brayden Asimakopoulos led the Spartans with two tackles each. Aaron Boyer, DJ Neely, Lafayette Jackson and Omar Askar each recorded one tackle. Ace Miller also added a pass breakup.

The Boardman Glenwood 7th grade football team picked up a hard-fought 8-0 victory on the road over Warren Wednesday night in a gritty defensive battle.
Neither team was able to find the end zone through the first three quarters as both defenses continued to make plays. The Spartans and Raiders traded punts, turnovers and stops on downs throughout the game, but Boardman controlled the time of possession for much of the night.
The Spartans forced two turnovers in the first quarter. Jayden Pixley recovered a Warren fumble, while Parker Birch intercepted a pass to give Boardman an early opportunity. However, the Spartans also put the football on the turf three times during the game, which stalled several promising drives.
Boardman controlled possession from the final minute of the first quarter all the way through halftime. Just before the break, Maddox Ison broke through the Warren defense and raced 33 yards inside the Raiders' 10-yard line. Ison was chased down and tackled from behind as time expired, keeping the game scoreless heading into halftime. Earlier in the drive, Ison had another big run called back because of a holding penalty.
The Spartans continued to battle in the fourth quarter. Boardman was driving into Warren territory with a chance to take the lead, but a costly turnover gave the ball back to the Raiders with less than four minutes remaining. The Spartan defense responded by forcing Warren into a turnover on downs in its own territory.
Boardman took advantage of the opportunity. The Spartans put together several chunk plays on the ground from both Ison and KJ Gipson before Gipson punched it into the end zone from nine yards with :31 remaining to give Boardman a 6-0 lead. Ison then converted the two-point try to push the Spartan advantage to 8-0.
Warren was unable to mount another scoring drive as the Boardman defense closed out the victory.
Ison led the Spartan ground game with 90 yards on 10 carries, while Gipson added 41 yards on seven carries.
Defensively, Jeyden Matos-Martinez and Cayden Voss led the Spartans with three tackles each. Amare West-Ditullio and Dennis Golubic added two tackles apiece, while CJ Jennings, Pixley, Ison and Rome Jackson each recorded one tackle. Socie contributed two assisted tackles, while Gipson, Matos-Martinez, Kyle Tobey and Casey Meyer each had one assisted tackle.
Jackson also recorded two quarterback hurries, a pass breakup and a deflection. Voss came up with a sack that helped seal the Spartan victory.
Boardman held Warren to just 61 yards of total offense in the shutout.
With the victory, the Spartans improve to 5-1-1 on the season. Boardman will close out the regular season next Wednesday at home against Canfield.

Later in the first quarter, Jax Vodhanel came up with an interception to give the Spartans another short field. Boardman capitalized, with Ison finding the end zone again, this time on an 18-yard touchdown run.
Boardman's defense continued to make plays in the second quarter. Dustin Socie came up with an interception late in the half, setting up a 20-yard run by Jennings and eventually a 3-yard touchdown run by Caleb Mitchell. Socie added the two-point conversion to extend the lead to 30-0.
Jayden Pixley then intercepted a pass near the end of the half to cap off a dominant first-half defensive performance.
The Spartans were held off the scoreboard for much of the second half, but the defense continued to control the game. After Niles turned the ball over on downs, Cleveland broke off a 26-yard run to set Boardman up with a first-and-goal opportunity. Parker Birch finished the drive with a 7-yard touchdown run, and Ke'On Spivey added the two-point conversion to make it 38-0.
Boardman's defense was once again the story of the night, recording its second consecutive shutout while allowing just 22 yards of total offense.
Pixley finished with two tackles, while Cayden Voss recorded two sacks. Cleveland and Gipson each recorded a tackle for loss and a strip tackle, while Jaceon LaBooth added a tackle for loss.
