NCHS Coach Brad Laird is excited to invite the community to the annual Meet the Chiefs event on Saturday, Aug. 15 at the Natchitoches Events Center, celebrating the 2026 Natchitoches Central High School Chiefs football team and kicking off the upcoming season.

The event schedule includes:
- 5:00 p.m. – Sponsorship Social
- 5:30 p.m. – Doors Open for Individual Ticket Holders
- 6:00 p.m. – Meet the Chiefs Program Begins
Tickets are available for purchase at the following locations:

Community members are encouraged to purchase tickets early, as another sell-out crowd is expected.
“Meet the Chiefs is more than just an event—it’s an opportunity for our community to come together and show our support for the student-athletes who proudly represent Natchitoches Central High School,” said the NCHS Victory Club. “We encourage everyone to purchase their tickets early and join us for an exciting evening as we kick off the 2026 football season.”
