It's GAME DAY and HOMECOMING! If you take the excitement of game day, add the pageantry of homecoming, and sprinkle in actual football weather, that's a recipe for a great evening of Friday night lights at The TEZ.

The Colts lead the all-time series 13-2 and won last year's contest 42-14. This is the second time the Colts have faced Westside in their homecoming game with the other matchup coming in 2005 (W 33-20).
