The day will conclude with a live high school football game between Berkeley Prep and the Newman School, featuring the latest in the Manning family football dynasty – Arch Manning, the No. 2 junior in the country according to the ESPN Jr. 300.
Also featured as part of the lineup is the SEC Storied film “The Book of Manning.” Narrated by actor John Goodman, “The Book of Manning” features revealing interviews with Archie, Olivia, Cooper, Peyton and Eli Manning, along with other family members, friends, former teammates and coaches, with photos and home movie footage of Archie and his sons. Through it all, director Rory Karpf explores how a tragedy shaped the course of not only Archie’s life, but his family’s as well.
