A Night to Remember at Tiger Stadium: Hollidaysburg’s Perfect Kickoff to the 2024 Sideline Cancer Season

The atmosphere at Tiger Stadium in Hollidaysburg, PA, on September 6, 2024, was electric. The Hollidaysburg Golden Tigers squared off against Allegany High School (MD) in what proved to be more than just a football game — it was a night of community spirit, compassion, and triumph both on and off the field. As the first Sideline Cancer Game of the year, the evening set an inspiring tone for the 2024 season.

Everything aligned for an unforgettable night. The Golden Tigers delivered an outstanding performance, defeating Allegany with a commanding 35-0 victory. The weather was nothing short of spectacular, providing the perfect backdrop for a community rallying together for a greater cause.

Beyond the action on the field, the true highlight of the evening was the overwhelming support for the Tryninewski Family. Thanks to the generosity of the Hollidaysburg community, a remarkable $8,300 was raised to support the family through the Sideline Cancer initiative. This outpouring of kindness underscores the heart and unity that make Sideline Cancer games so special.

When you walk down the halls of Hollidaysburg Area Senior High School, there has always been one person that has stood out from all the others: Bryce Borowski. No matter who Bryce comes in contact with, he has a charisma about him that uplifts and inspires. On Friday night at Tiger Stadium, Bryce Borowski sent the Hollidaysburg football team, cheerleaders, student section, and parents into a frenzy with his epic “I Can Cup” Celebration following the 35-0 win over Allegany (MD). Of all the players that have celebrated with the “I Can Cup,” it is safe to say that no one embodies the “I Can Attitude & Believe Always Spirit” quite like Bryce. His unforgettable moment cemented his status as a Golden Tiger legend and left the stadium roaring with excitement.

The energy of the evening was beautifully captured in a striking photograph by @hburgyl, perfectly encapsulating the passion and pride of everyone involved. From the roar of the crowd to the players’ relentless drive, the game exemplified what can happen when a community comes together.

As the 2024 Sideline Cancer season unfolds, we look forward to sharing more stories of hope, resilience, and the incredible impact these games have on local families. Stay tuned for updates on this year’s efforts as we continue to demonstrate the power of an “I Can Attitude & Believe Always Spirit.”

To everyone who participated in making this night a resounding success, thank you for your generosity and dedication. Together, we’re proving that the fight against cancer can unite us all.
