The West Michigan Sports Commission (WMSC) is proud to announce its partnership with Grand Valley State University and the OK Conference in the promotion of a newly created high school football showcase, the GRidiron Classic.

The event will be held Aug. 29, at Lubbers Stadium on the main campus of GVSU.

The GRidiron Classic will include three highly competitive high school games beginning at 1, 4 and 7 p.m.

Each purchased ticket entitles the bearer to attend all three scheduled games. Pre-sale tickets will be available at each host school (listed in bold below) beginning in May at a cost of $8 Adults/$6 Students. Tickets purchased on the day of the event will be sold for $10 Adults/$8 Students.

The schedule is as follows:

1 p.m. — Hamtramck vs. NorthPointe Christian

4:00 PM – Comstock Park vs. Cedar Springs

7:00 PM – Oak Park vs. Zeeland West

“West Michigan prides itself in our high school football and this event will highlight the start of the season with some great matchups at a superb facility,” Mike Guswiler, President of the WMSC said. “Our hope moving forward is to partner with the Detroit Sports Commission, which has hosted a Prep Kickoff Classic for over 10 years at Wayne State University, to make this an annual event, pairing the top football teams from East Michigan against the top teams from West Michigan.”
