With football season just around the corner, excitement was already in midseason form Monday evening as a large crowd filled Citizens Bank Stadium for the annual Meet the Cyclones night.

The event served as an early spotlight for players and cheerleaders from the Jr. Cyclone Youth League all the way to the Elizabethton High School varsity team. Under the bright stadium lights, each team and squad member was introduced to an enthusiastic crowd eager to get a preview of the faces representing the Cyclones this fall.

Fans also had the opportunity to support the program beyond the sidelines. The Cyclone Touchdown Club was on hand to sign up new members, offering a way for supporters to stay connected throughout the season.

Nearby, the Cyclone store did brisk business selling team apparel and merchandise, giving fans a chance to gear up ahead of kickoff.

With the first games of the season approaching quickly, Monday night’s energy hinted at another spirited campaign. The event not only showcased the depth and development of the Cyclone program but also underscored the community’s strong support from youth to varsity levels.
