Football season in May? Well, in Fillmore the excitement is building as we prepare for Football at Fillmore High, 2010. When Fillmore High plays Santa Paula High this year, it will be the 100Th meeting between these two teams. Fillmore High is hosting this grand event and they are already gearing up for a Big Crowd, and hopefully a memorable game.
The Alumni Assoc is participating in this years event by selling a DVD Documentary of the History of the football game between Fillmore High, and Santa Paula High. Isaac Reyes, Class of 94', and his counter parts at FX (Fox Cable group) will be compiling interviews, stories, and old game film along with photos of this Rivalry. They are looking at somewhere between a 45 minute and one hour documentary of this 99 game history.
If you have a favorite memory of this rivalry or either cheered or played in this game and have a story, Please let Isaac know. He also is looking for more game film and photos of this game. His email is ireyes88@gmail.com
The Alumni Assoc is very excited about this fund raiser, and Pre-Orders will be accepted starting this Summer, and running all through the fall. The Documentary will become available on November 1st, 2010. Cost for this DVD is $20.00, and $25.00 if you wish to have it packaged and mailed to an address. This would make a great Christmas or Birthday gift for any Alumni of Fillmore High. There is a Facebook page (Fillmore/Santa Paula 100Th Rivalry), and soon they will post a 30 or 40 second clipping of the DVD. If you wish to see a longer clip of the DVD, come to the Alumni Dinner on June 12Th. You can be one of the first to place their pre-order video at the Dinner.
The current record of this Rivalry is 55-37-7, Santa Paula. The last 5 years, Fillmore leads 3-2. The last 10 years, Santa Paula leads 6-4. The last 20 years, Santa Paula leads 12-8, but only one Team will win the Century Mark!!
Hope to see you all at the Alumni Dinner and the game in November. Always remember to Fight on for Fillmore and Sing out her name!
