Lucy White, 2017 grad, will be performing at the game with her Kilgore Rangerette squad – a halftime tradition for the drill team since 1951. The dancers will make other game-related appearances and receive a traditional commemorative watch from the host committee.

Lauren West and Sarah Garcia, LHHS 2014 grads currently studying at UT and Texas A&M, are also participating in game-week fun working for the Cotton Bowl. They are chauffeuring big-game big-shots around town, charming them with their big smiles. The Wildcat Wranglers aren’t dancing at the game, but a few of the guys will be holding onto the gigantic on-field flag during pre-game festivities and sticking around for kickoff.

The 82nd Annual Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic kicks off this Friday at 7:30 at AT&T Stadium. If you don’t have tickets, you can watch Ohio State face the University of Southern California on ESPN.
