🏈🐾 IT’S HOMECOMING IN OAK RIDGE! 🐾🏈

Join us this Friday for a Homecoming edition of the Wildcat Tailgate Pavilion! We’re bringing together Wildcats past and present for a huge night of food, live music, tradition and Oak Ridge pride before kickoff!

The tailgate starts at 4:30 PM and runs all the way until 7:00 PM kickoff.

🐾 Around 5:00 PM, Coach Rang will bring the Wildcat players and coaches through the tailgate on their way to the Walk of Champions. The Dancecats and cheerleaders will help line the sidewalk at the tailgate entrance, and we want Wildcat fans there to help give the team a BIG Homecoming welcome!

🏆 Our Hall of Fame inductees will also be joining us and are expected to arrive around 5:15 PM.

🎺 Around 6:00–6:05 PM, the WildBand, cheerleaders and Dancecats will come together for the Oak Ridge fight song!

🎸 Robbie Lewis Band will be playing LIVE from 4:30 PM until kickoff.

🚒 The Oak Ridge Fire Department will be on hand with their ladder truck, proudly hoisting the American flag over the Homecoming festivities.

🍔 And come hungry! We’ll have plenty of food for the WildBand, cheerleaders, Dancecats and Wildcat fans to enjoy.

This Homecoming is even more special as the Classes of 1986, 1996 and 2006 will all be making the Wildcat Tailgate Pavilion part of their reunion celebrations!

📍 Wildcat Tailgate Pavilion ⏰ Friday | 4:30 PM – 7:00 PM Kickoff

Whether you graduated decades ago, have a student at Oak Ridge today, or just love your Wildcats, Homecoming is the night to come together.

Wear your Cardinal & Gray, bring the family, reconnect with old friends and help us welcome the Wildcats into the stadium!

Spread the word — we’ll see you Friday!

🐾 GO WILDCATS! 🐾

🏈 Another great Community Tailgate is coming up!

A huge thank you to Jim Normand and JMFN Law & Title Services for sponsoring this week’s tailgate and continuing their longtime support of Oak Ridge High School and Wildcat Football!

Jim, a member of the 1979 State Championship team, will be joined by his sons and fellow former Wildcats, James and Elliott, grilling and serving all-beef hot dogs from our local favorite, Secret City Butcher Shop, from 4:30–6:30 PM.

We’re incredibly grateful for alumni and local businesses like JMFN who continue to give back and help make these community tailgates possible.

Come hungry, support the Wildcats, and help us keep building this great Oak Ridge tradition!

Thank you, JMFN Law & Title Services, for proudly supporting Oak Ridge Football and ORHS for more than 70 years! 🐾🏈

🏈 Friday Nights in Oak Ridge! 🐾

What a way to kick off another Wildcat football season!

A huge THANK YOU to the Oak Ridge alumni and everyone behind the scenes who gives their time, energy, and money to make the Tailgate Pavilion happen. The food, music, fellowship, and everything that goes into these nights doesn't happen by accident—it happens because people in this community continue to step up and support it.

We were proud to be out there cooking, hanging out with everyone, and doing our little part to keep the Wildcats fed! 🔥
And a big thank you to Hillbilly Jedi for bringing the music and always keeping the pavilion rocking. 🎸🤘

If you haven't been out to the tailgate yet, come join us before a home game! Eat, listen to some great music, catch up with old friends and get ready to cheer on the Wildcats.
Most importantly, please support and donate to the alumni who make all of this possible. Every contribution helps keep these traditions going and allows them to continue creating nights like this for Oak Ridge.
We appreciate everyone who showed up, everyone who donated, everyone who volunteered, and everyone who continues to invest in this community.

See you at the next one. Go Wildcats! 🐾🏈
