It will be grilled burger, beans, fruit, and a cookie, and milk.

We are selling season passes again this year! Cost is $75 for adults/$45 for students/seniors. These are good for all regular season JH & HS home games. Email bscherer@orangevillecusd.com if interested. (Pass gate lists will be at the home games until printed passes are ready.)
