A crowd of Palisades High School students and families gathered on Friday, Sept. 26 at Stadium by the Sea to participate in what is widely considered the most important football game of the year – the 9th Annual Charter Bowl.
Pali High’s ‘Football Fest’ included numerous food trucks, a photo booth, henna tattoos, a table of hair accessories and, of course, two football games versus Granada Hills – both of which Pali emerged victorious.
