In honor of Blake Luna, there will be 3 tributes at tonight's game. During pre-game before the Rocket Regiment plays the National Anthem, a moment of silence will be given in honor of Blake. Blake's sisters will release two balloons in his honor. At the end of the 1st quarter, the Class of 2025 will pass buckets on both sides to collect donations for the Luna family. At the conclusion of the game, the sophomore class will invite everyone to join them in a prayer circle on the field to share a class prayer in honor of Blake. Blake's favorite color was red so go Rockets go!
