BLACKSBURG – The Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets and the Virginia Tech football team will continue their proud partnership, with the Corps of Cadets highlighting the colors during the Hokies’ Independence Bowl game in Shreveport, Louisiana on Dec. 26.
Three football players are selected, because of their performance in the last game or during practice, to carry the American flag, the state flag, and the team’s spirit flag as they lead the team onto the field. They carry the flags the length of the field and deliver them to cadets at the south end of the field.
