After years in the darkness, Delhi’s Friday Night Lights football contest is shining bright.
The Covid-19 pandemic forced the organizers for the popular event – which takes place on the Friday of Thanksgiving weekend – to step back for a few years. The contest returned in 2024, however, and has been a rousing success ever since.
This year’s game will feature the Raiders hosting the Pauline Johnson Thunderbirds on Oct. 9 in a matchup of two AABHN Varsity semi-finals squads from last season.
