James Wood to sell tickets starting Wednesday for Sherando football game

WINCHESTER — Tickets for James Wood’s season-opening home football game on Friday against Sherando will go on sale starting Wednesday at James Wood High School.

A large crowd is expected for the contest — which will kick off at 7:05 p.m. — because a field-naming ceremony for former James Wood and Sherando football coach Walter Barr will take place before the game at 6:40 p.m. The Colonels’ playing surface will be named “Walter Barr Field at Jerry Kelican Stadium.”

Advance tickets for the game can be purchased both Wednesday and Thursday at James Wood’s main office. Ticket booths will open at 5:15 p.m. on the day of the game. The ticket price is $5 and exact change is recommended.

In addition, yearly passes may be purchased in advance in the main or athletics office or at the ticket booth on game night.
