Annual Dawg Roast & Pep Rally

Get ready for Silver Lake’s most spirited tradition — the Annual Dawg Roast

Wednesday, September 9 at 6:00 pm at CJ Hamilton Field, as the community gathers to kick off the week of the War on 24 rivalry game between Silver Lake and Rossville.

The Silver Lake Booster Club will begin serving student-athletes at 6:00 pm, followed by community members. Afterward, the Student Council will lead a high-energy pep rally featuring many of our Eagles teams, building excitement for Friday night’s showdown.

This annual tradition is more than just a meal — it’s a celebration of community, school spirit, and Eagle pride. Everyone is welcome to attend, enjoy the food, cheer on our athletes, and show support before the big game.

Come hungry, wear your maroon and gold, and get ready to fuel up for this year's War on 24.

Silver Lake Youth Football Kicks Off Opening Weekend

The Silver Lake youth tackle football teams officially hit the gridiron Saturday, traveling to Seaman for the opening weekend of the season. The Eagles showed plenty of fight, with two teams coming away with victories and the youngest squad battling to a scoreless tie.

The 6th grade Eagles were forced to postpone their season opener due to the extreme heat and will get their first opportunity to take the field next Saturday.

The 5th grade Eagles opened their season with a hard-fought 14-8 victory over Jr. Vikes 5, while the 4th grade squad also started the season in the win column with a 7-0 shutout of Royal Valley 4.

The youngest Eagles, the 3rd grade team, battled St. Marys from start to finish. Both teams fought hard on both sides of the ball, but neither could find the end zone as the game ended in a 0-0 tie.

After opening weekend, the Eagles' records stand at:
6th Grade: 0-0
5th Grade: 1-0
4th Grade: 1-0
3rd Grade: 0-0-1

The Eagles will be back in action next Saturday, September 12, with all four teams returning to Seaman for another full day of youth football.
