Dothan, Al. (WDNews) – Wiregrass Daily News caught up with Dothan United’s Aaron McCreight and Assistant Coach Edu Zurita to talk about the team’s recent playoff-clinching win and this Saturday’s big Fourth of July celebration at Rip Hewes Stadium.
The Dragons officially secured their place in the playoffs this past Tuesday night thanks to a clutch win and Tennessee’s loss, after narrowly missing out by one match last season.
Dothan United has also submitted a bid to host the upcoming playoff matches and is currently awaiting a decision from the league. The team hopes to find out soon so fans and the community can prepare accordingly.
Fans are encouraged to get to Rip Hewes Stadium early this Saturday. Gates open at 5:30 PM. Kickoff is at 7:00 PM, 30 minutes earlier than usual. The fireworks show—celebrating the Fourth of July—will begin at 9:00 PM. The Army National Guard will also be on-site with a rock climbing wall and other family-friendly activities.
The evening also serves as Military and First Responders Appreciation Night, and all proceeds will go to benefit the Wiregrass United Way, supporting important services throughout the region.
This is more than just a match. It’s a celebration for the team, the fans, and the community.
Bring the family, watch a great match, and enjoy the biggest fireworks show that Rip Hewes Stadium has ever seen.
