On Friday, Hoover High School will face off against Glendale High School in football, in what is one of the most anticipated football games all season.

Leading up to the game, students at each school participated in Spirit Week, in which they arrived to school each day wearing clothes to match the theme for the day.

At Glendale High on Thursday, students went to school wearing their pajamas and Hoover students were told to wear clothes to pay tribute to the 1980s and 1990s.
