HS Volleyball Tournament Schedule - Eureka - September 13 2025

Friday night lights return to Pryor Field as the Yellowjackets gear up to take on the Eureka Tornadoes. Kickoff is set for 7:00 PM, and we’re ready to see the stands glowing with Jacket Pride.

Tonight, though, is about more than football. We are sadly going to miss our Senior, Brandon Glear. As a community, we invite everyone to wear blue to the game in his honor. A donation table will be set up at the main entrance beginning at 6:00 PM, and any gift to help his family with funeral costs will be deeply appreciated. Before kickoff, we will pause for a brief moment of silence to send our thoughts and prayers to Brandon, his family, and friends.

Alongside honoring Brandon, it’s also a night to rally around our school and community:
Renaissance will be running concessions, with every purchase helping build a school culture where students thrive and teachers shine.
The Black & Gold Booster Club is hosting their annual Booster Drive—memberships are only $25, with a free gift for joining! Don’t miss out on discounted merchandise and new spirit items like Pom Poms and our NEW foam fingers.

So come early, grab a snack, join the Booster Club, pick up some spirit gear, and most importantly—let’s stand together as a community, honoring Brandon and cheering on our Jackets under the Friday night lights.
