The annual Warrior Card “Blitz Day” will be held on Saturday, August 18th from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. Sponsored by the Winton Woods High School Athletic Boosters, Warrior student/athletes will be canvassing school district neighborhoods and selling the card for $10.00 each. The card can be used at numerous businesses throughout the Cincinnati area and using the card just a few times can more than pay for the cost of the card through the discounts that are available. This is the single biggest fundraiser that the Athletic Boosters sponsor during the school year and your purchase and support will go a long way in making “Blitz Day” a success. When a Warrior student/athlete knocks on your door, please be generous in your support of Winton Woods High School athletics!
SHOW YOUR SENIOR STUDENT/ATHLETE JUST HOW MUCH YOU APPRICIATE
THEM!

The Winton Woods varsity football Warriors get their 2007 season off to a rousing start on Saturday, August 25th when they face the St. Xavier Bombers at UC’s Nippert Stadium. Kick-off is scheduled for 5:30 pm and is only the second time that the two schools have met on the gridiron, with St. X defeating Winton Woods in the opening round of the 1998 state playoffs, 35-14. This is the fifth straight year the Warriors have been chosen to participate in this prestigious event and we need the support of all Warrior parents, students and fans as the program continues to show that it deserves to be considered amongst the city’s elite. Tickets are available now and can be purchased at the athletic office for $10.00 each. A portion of the pre-game ticket proceeds will be rebated back to Winton Woods High School so please purchase your tickets ahead of time through the high school. Tickets purchased at the gate on game day will be $13.00 each with no rebate back to Winton Woods. The Warriors have shown themselves more thn up to the task in their previous four appearances in the Crosstown Showdown. The past two years the Warriors have gotten their playoff seasons off in spectacular fashion with blowouts of Wilmington and Western Hills. In 2004 Winton Woods lost a heartbreaker to Princeton in the final moments and in 2003 gave defending (and soon to be repeating) state champion Elder all they could handle well into the fourth quarter. Get your tickets now so you don’t miss the excitement!!
