Fed, Focused, and Ready for the Benz

Team dinner in the books. Now it’s all eyes on Thursday night.

Last night, the Touchdown Club and the Bear Gridiron Club teamed up to host dinner for the team and their families following practice and the team meeting. Burgers and hot dogs came off the grill by the trayful, the serving line stretched the length of the lunch room, and the room stayed loud in the best way.

The timing was no accident. Thursday night, the Bears take the field at Mercedes-Benz Stadium against Brookwood. Before a stage that big, you gather the whole family and break bread together.

On the Grill

Dads Manning the Flat Top

Football dads ran the griddles and the smoker, turning out burgers, hot dogs, and barbecue for the whole program. If you’ve been thinking about getting more involved, this is exactly what it looks like.

Full House

The Whole Bear Family

Players, parents, little brothers and sisters, the Cambridge Lunch Room was packed wall to wall. Nights like this are what make Cambridge football feel like family.

The Message

Coaches Set the Tone

The coaching staff addressed the room after dinner, what Thursday means, what it demands, and why this team has earned the opportunity in front of them.

The Stage

Thursday at the Benz

Cambridge vs. Brookwood at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. An NFL venue, a statewide spotlight, and a chance for these young men to make a memory that lasts a lifetime. Wear your blue.
