Admission is free. Gates will open at 1 p.m. Saturday and kickoff is scheduled for 3 p.m. Sunnyside High is at 1019 S. Peach Ave.
Special guests will include Mayor Jerry Dyer, who will preside over the coin toss, Fresno State alumni Bernard Berrian, who also played in the NFL, and Marcus McMaryion, who quarterbacked the Bulldogs to a Mountain West title in 2018.
