The Gothenburg Swedes football team is set to take on Columbus Scotus on Friday, October 30 in the first round of the C-2 district playoffs.

The Swedes have stacked a 7-2 season, the only two losses coming within a score. A win against Columbus Scotus would send the Swedes to the second round against the winner of the No. 2 Bergan Catholic (9-0) vs No. 15 West Point - Beemer (5-4) game.

Some details about Friday night's game, released by Gothenburg Athletic Director, Marc Mroczek:

  • Game time is 6:30 P.M.

  • Admission is $8-Adults, $6-Students.  (Prices are set by the NSAA).

  • No Passes will be accepted as this is a NSAA State Football playoff game.  This includes student activity passes, family/adult passes, SWC passes, Lifetime passes, etc.  

  • Gates will open at 5:00 P.M.

The first 120 GPS students will get in free courtesy of the Swede Boosters, Dayspring Bank, and Flatwater Bank.  We ask that all GPS HS and JH students enter at the southwest gate near the discovery center building to be admitted free. HS students should park in the elementary parking lot as well.

Let's Pack the Stands on Friday Night and cheer the Swedes to Victory!
