Dunwoody High School Football team battles Chamblee High Friday Night at DeKalb Stadium. Buy Tix in advance, Watch on YouTube or Listen on Mixlr.

Ready for Friday Night Lights !!!

Dunwoody High School Wildcats will battle our cross town rival Chamblee High School Bulldogs for the Golden Spike and a year of bragging rights! Go Wildcats!!!

Game time is 7:30 PM at N. DeKalb Stadium!   It is highly likely that with two local highly competitive football teams playing each other that this game may sell out or at the very minimum, there will be long lines at the stadium box office, therefore I recommend buying your tickets in advance from GoFan.

Buy your tickets here.

The AJC has a nice article here, and Maxpreps has team stats and pre-season previews of both Dunwoody and Chamblee.

As a special treat for all those fans who are unable to physically make the game, the talented crew, parents and supporters of DHS Wildcat Football are also offering a Video Feed of the game on Youtube and a Play by Play audio broadcast on Mixlr Internet Radio.
