Hello Napoleon community –
A few pieces of important information for Friday's varsity football game – looking forward to seeing a great crowd on the Napoleon side!
Also – please remember that this is an MHSAA event (not a Napoleon event) so we are obligated to follow the rules and policies set forth by the MHSAA for Friday’s game.

(1) Masks and other face coverings are not allowed nor is face paint that is applied to the point of not being able to identify the person wearing it, (2) Prop weapons are not allowed, and (3) costumes must be appropriate and in proper taste.
--Spectators are not allowed on the field, track, etc. before, during, or after the game – fans should wait outside the fence and greet athletes as they exit the field. “Rushing the field” is specifically prohibited at MHSAA events.

Pirate Pete was honored at the game on Friday Night.
"On behalf of our entire community, we want to extend our deepest thanks for 10 incredible years as our beloved icon Pirate Pete. For a decade, you’ve brought energy, pride, and spirit to every event, game, and gathering.

Thank you for being more than just a mascot — thank you for being the face, heart, and soul of our Pirate family. Once a Pirate, always a Pirate!!
