Nothing gets the crowd pumped up like a great entrance.
While they may not have the budget of NFL teams, high school football teams across the country pour their heart and soul into their pregame entrances, ensuring that the players and fans are fired up.
MaxPreps has teamed up with Benjamin Moore Paints to bring you 12 of the coolest and most creative entrances in high school football.
Some make use of props like smoke machines and inflatable tunnels, while others rely on old-fashioned banners and dances to get the crowd going.
Either way, it gets us in the mood to watch a great game.
