2023 RAVENS RISE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL SHOWDOWN
For several weeks during the high school football season, the Baltimore Ravens will recognize local high school football games as part of the Ravens RISE High School Football Showdown program.
At each of the four contests in 2023, current Ravens players will be in attendance for a pre-game visit with each team and to help administer the opening coin toss. Ravens Cheerleaders, mascot Poe and Baltimore's Marching Ravens will also be in attendance, and both teams will be awarded apparel to wear during the game and will participate in team introductions through a billowing smoke curtain and pyrotechnics. All participating teams will receive a $1,500 monetary donation from the Ravens to help enhance their respective programs.
Each Showdown will be broadcast/streamed live on the Baltimore Ravens YouTube channel and produced by Corrigan Sports Enterprises. Following the matchup, each Showdown will be highlighted with a detailed game recap and photo gallery by The Baltimore Sun.
The final stop on the 2023 Showdown calendar will bring together two staple initiatives for the Ravens in the Youth & High School Football space. The Frederick County Public Schools Girls Flag Football Championship (Nov. 1) will be featured as the final High School Showdown in 2023. The championship game will be hosted at "The House" at Under Armour's Baltimore Peninsula Headquarters.
