All About Cape: School, Sports, New Faces, and Busy Times!

Visit Cape

It’s back-to-school time, and I can hear sighs of relief coming from parents all across town. It also means things are about to get busier, with sports in full swing, including a local favorite – Cape Central football! Keep your eye on the high school sports schedules to find out when to cheer on the Tigers. Be sure to mark your calendars for the Central vs Jackson rivalry. The team that wants to win must earn it with sweat, determination and heart! This is always a great game from the fans to the plays on the field.

The Redhawks are also returning to class this week, bringing an influx of new faces to town. If you’re not quite sure where to start exploring, we suggest beginning at the river wall. Get acquainted with the area’s history by strolling along our River Tales Mural – twenty-four panels depicting Cape’s biggest milestones.

While you’re in the area, check out the downtown district to soak up some local flavor – in more ways than one. Stop by any of our restaurants to try whatever you’re craving – from all-American to Italian to Cajun. Plus, there’s a variety of boutiques and antique stores to peruse. Not to mention our vibrant nightlife.

If you don’t want to leave campus, there’s plenty to see on-site. Visit the Crisp Museum for historical displays and art exhibitions. And the River Campus has a great lineup of shows this season that you won’t want to miss.
