Concord, A.L. Brown high schools stuff the bus for CCM
KANNAPOLIS – Everything about the Battle For the Bell is special – this is the 85th year Concord and A.L. Brown high schools will play for the Victory Bell donated to the schools by Southern Railways in 1950, the rivalry is the longest continuous high school rivalry in North Carolina and 15th longest in the nation.
This year, Cooperative Christian Ministry and both high schools want to make it a little more special for everyone in the community. Each school will have a school bus parked in the horseshoe drive located in front of Bullock Gymnasium at A.L. Brown High School for the duration of the game. Members of the community can pick which school is their favorite and student volunteers will be on-hand to help stuff the buses for CCM.
“These two high schools have never been afraid to leverage their competition to demonstrate the importance of community,” says CCM Executive Director Ed Hosack. “We are extremely proud of how these two schools have responded through their food drives over the years.”
The school with the most food (in weight) will win a prize and CCM will distribute the food collected throughout their network of 10 community food pantries.
“We are extremely grateful and happy that our students are supporting the community with the canned food drive to support CCM,” says A.L. Brown Principal Todd Parker. “It is so important that we teach our students that giving to others is an important part of life and makes it so much more meaningful.”
The Battle For the Bell – traditionally the last game of the regular season for Concord and A.L. Brown high schools – was changed after conference realignment split the schools and the game had to be moved to prior to the first day of school. The game was moved this year from Friday night, Aug. 21, to Thursday night, Aug. 20, and will be broadcast on Time Warner Cable as part of the Great American Rivalry series. North Carolina High School Athletic Association regulations will not allow Friday night high school games to be broadcast live.
Gates open at 5 p.m. at A.L. Brown High School. Students and volunteers will be on-hand beginning at 4:45 p.m. to take donations of nonperishable food items.
