New Hope,

Chick-Fil-A, J.93, others join forces for 'Rock Week' activities

New Hope Baptist

Church's North and South Campuses will host dinners all this week for

the Starr's Mill and Fayette County high school football teams, cheerleading

and majorette squads, flag corps, and band, as part of the "Rock

Bowl Week" activities, culminating in the football game between Starr's

Mill and Fayette County this Friday night and a community concert after

the game.

Coaches, sponsoring

faculty, and students will enjoy a week filled with fun, presentations,

and entertainment.

"The 'Battle

for the Rock' is more than just another great meeting of the Fayette County

and Starr's Mill high school football teams on Nov. 8," a spokesperson

said. "Thanks to Chick-Fil-A, radio station J93.3, other Fayette

businesses and area churches, this year's game will feature student leadership

training, special school dinners, scholarship presentations, and a free

concert."

A select group

of student leaders from both schools will attend a leadership training

conference featuring executives from Chick-Fil-A's corporate headquarters

including Chick-Fil-A President and CEO Dan Cathy. Students will receive

training in leadership skills and have the opportunity to interact with

top executives at Chick-Fil-A.

Just prior

to the game, college scholarships will be awarded to students from both

schools. During halftime activities, students will compete in the Touchdown

Race for prizes.

Immediately

following the game, the winning high school team will receive "The

Rock," a trophy that not only will commemorate this first "Rock

Bowl," but also will be shared in future years with the winning team

of the annual high school rivalry.

The evening's

activities will conclude with a free community concert with Ardent Records

recording artists Brother's Keeper in the new Village's Amphitheatre across

the street from the Fayette County High School stadium. The group will

feature songs from their newest CD project entitled, "Cover Me."

Fayette businesses

joining Chick-Fil-A and J93.3 to make Rock Bowl Week possible include

Real Deal Student Ministries, Southeast Properties, Identity Promotions,

and Printgrafix.
