As our Tornadoes head out for a Halloween playoff game this Saturday, October 31, we know some fans may plan to celebrate by wearing their Halloween costumes!

Fisher asked us to share that costumes are welcome, but please remember they must be school-appropriate. They also have asked that masks and any costume accessories that cover or conceal the face are not permitted. All spectators must have their faces clearly visible at all times.

We want our A-town families and fans to enjoy the Halloween fun while helping create a safe, positive, and family-friendly atmosphere at Kellar Field.

Thank you for your cooperation, and as always...

🌪️ GO TORNADOES! 🌪️

❤️💙 BLUE & RED NIGHT IS TONIGHT — SUPPORTING ELIAS HOWE 💙❤️

📅 Tuesday, October 27
🏀 A-Town Middle School Girls Basketball vs. United
⏰ 5:30 PM Tip-Off
📍 A-Town Middle School

Our A-Town and United communities are coming together to support Baby Elias Howe and his family as they prepare for a long and challenging heart journey. ❤️

Baby Elias Howe was born on March 11, 2026, and was quickly diagnosed with a congenital heart defect called Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA), along with pulmonary stenosis. This fall, Elias will undergo open-heart surgery as the first step in what will be a long journey that includes additional surgeries as he grows.

Elias' mom, Carolyn, is part of our Abingdon-Avon Middle School family, and his dad, Austin, works for Chatterton Trucking and serves his community as a volunteer firefighter and first responder with the Avon Fire Department. Elias is also the beloved little brother of two older brothers who absolutely adore him. ❤️

As the Howe family focuses on Elias and his health, medical bills, travel expenses and lost income are creating an additional burden.

We want to help lift some of that burden and remind the Howe family that they are not walking this journey alone.
💙 A-TOWN WEAR BLUE
Blue represents strength, courage, hope, and healing as we stand behind Elias and his family.

❤️ UNITED WEAR RED
Red represents love, heart, and the fight Elias is facing as he prepares for his first open-heart surgery.

❤️💙 TOGETHER, WE STAND FOR ELI.

We’ll be raising money throughout the evening with:
🎂 Bake Sale
🌭 Concessions
💰 Free-Will Donations
🏀 Half-Court Shots at Halftime

Every donation, purchase, and half-court shot will help support the Howe family as they navigate Elias' medical journey.
Let's fill the gym with BLUE and RED and show the Howe family just how much love surrounds them.

Different colors. One heart. One fight. One community. ❤️💙
WE’VE GOT YOU, ELI. 💙❤️
