The highly anticipated Crosstown Showdown between Wylie East High School and Wylie High School has been rescheduled for tomorrow night, Thursday, Nov. 7, at 7 p.m. The change comes due to a high likelihood of inclement weather on Friday night. All event details, including game time and location, will remain the same, with only the date being adjusted.

“We’re committed to ensuring the safety of all attendees, so rescheduling was the best option given the forecast,” said the Wylie ISD Athletics Department in a statement. “We appreciate everyone’s understanding and look forward to seeing fans tomorrow night for what promises to be a thrilling game.”

Sub-varsity Games – While the rescheduled date applies to the varsity football game, officials are still finalizing plans for the sub-varsity matchups. Information on those games will be provided in the coming days.

Refunds for unable to attend – For fans who cannot attend the game on the rescheduled date, the Athletics Department is offering refunds. Ticket holders are encouraged to contact the Athletics office at (972) 429-2404 to arrange for a refund.
