The Mars Fighting Planets prepare for a home game in Butler County Pennsylvania

by | Aug 23, 2024 | Sports

In the 2024 season home opener, the Fighting Planets will visit earth for the first matchup of the season.

Mars High School has made the journey down to central Florida from Butler county Pennsylvania, a region in which the new school year has yet to begin. MHS is making use of their summer vacation with a trip to Disney World as well as their first matchup on the gridiron of the season.

The Pennsylvania native squad finished 10-3 last season and hopes to find similar success this season. Those hopes will first run through the Braves as they too open up their schedule for the year.  

“I’m confident we will win, I think we have the ability to beat them. I think we’re just the better team.”

While the exotic school and team name may be good for a laugh it’s important for the home team to get off on the right foot.

“We know their O-line and D-line are gonna be big but we can handle it, and we make it to the second and third level on offense I think we’ll take it away from there,” Craver said.

Regardless of the team’s name or origin, the season opener is always a game to remember. A game against the fighting planets is sure to be out of this world.
