What is a TUNNEL CAT? TUNNEL CATS are boys and girls in Grades PK-6 who have the opportunity to run through the Wildcat Victory Tunnel before each regular-season home football game. Each TUNNEL CAT will receive a T-SHIRT and FREE ADMISSION to all regular-season home football games (parents/guardians must buy a ticket). How do I join TUNNEL CATS? ALL REGISTRATIONS ARE ONLINE. Use the QR Code above (easiest!) OR go to the PYSO website (palestineyouthsportsorganization.com) and click on the provided link to the Lone Star Online Store. YOU ARE REGISTERED FOR TUNNEL CATS WHEN YOU ORDER A SHIRT! Credit and debit cards may be used to pay the $20.00 registration fee (plus tax). You MUST pick up at LONE STAR ATHLETIC APPAREL & DESIGN, INC. located at 1317 South Loop 256, Palestine (Hours 9:00 - 4:00). What are the TUNNEL CAT Expectations? a.)
