On Friday night, five high schools around the greater Indianapolis area got a special visit from Pacers players as the members of this year's team got a chance to hang out with fans, sign autographs, and enjoy Friday night lights football.
#TouchdownPacers is an event that gives the players a chance to interact with fans off of the court, and is always a sign that the season is fast approaching. While the players were busy throwing autographed balls into the crowd and signing t-shirts, the Pacemates were doing some cheerleading with the local squads.
At Greenwood vs. Whiteland, George Hill, Chase Budinger, Jordan Hill, and Toney Douglas helped cheer on the teams.
