Friday will be a busy night on the Mountain Home High School campus as the community will have an opportunity to preview the district’s football and volleyball teams. The ninth-annual First Security Bank Bomberfest will be held at Bomber Stadium and Bomber Gymnasium beginning at 5 p.m.

Some of the football players will be scrimmaging, but since the high school squad played a benefit game Thursday at Blytheville, they will be going through a light workout. High school head football coach Bryan Mattox says Bomberfest is not only a good night to introduce the teams, but it’s also a way for student athletes from several sports to get acquainted with the community.
