A powerful storm recently swept through our area, taking down the iconic floodlights and damaging parts of the field and bleachers at our beloved Topper Bowl—a field that holds decades of Catholic Central football memories, victories, and the spirit of Friday night pride. But in true Catholic Central fashion, we saw something extraordinary in the aftermath. Before the dust even settled, the CC Family showed up. Alumni, parents, former athletes, and community members rolled up their sleeves—together, they cleared debris, removed broken poles, and began the work of rebuilding. Their response reminded us what Catholic Central is really about: character, commitment, and community. These are the values shaped on that very field. Now, as we look to bring Friday Night Lights back to Catholic Central this fall, we need your help to take the next step. Our insurance will only cover a small portion of the replacement cost. The rest depends on us—the Catholic Central Family—to make it happen. This donor-driven effort, led by those who once stood on that field, is a call to everyone whose life was shaped by the strength and spirit of Catholic Central. Together, we can relight the Topper Bowl.Click the link below to contribute what you can and help us restore the lights, the field, and the heart of Hilltopper Football. Let’s make sure our Friday Night Lights shine bright once again.
