On Friday, October 2, start the day with the team luncheon, then get ready for the HBCU Fest at Ladd that will feature a cheerleading showcase from both Jackson State and Alabama A&M cheerleaders, a Greek exhibition, and a performance by a national recording artist.
On Saturday, October 3, the excitement continues with the Gulf Coast Challenge Mardi Gras-style Parade in Downtown Mobile, leading up to the highly anticipated showdown between the Jackson State Tigers and the Alabama A&M Bulldogs. Kickoff is at 4 p.m., and this action-packed weekend promises something for everyone to enjoy.
