ODESSA, Texas (KMID/KPEJ) - The Odessa Bronchos are just one week away from kicking off the 2026 football season, and the Broncho faithful gathered Thursday evening at Odessa High School for a West Texas tradition.
The annual Watermelon Feed gave the community its first look at the 2026 football team, along with the cheerleaders, dance team, and trainers.
Fans were also treated to several performances before enjoying plenty of watermelon, officially marking the beginning of another football season in Odessa.
"It's just a great showcase and a great time to get community out here and just get the year kicked off," Odessa High principal Hector Limon said.
For the players, the event was also a chance to celebrate the growth of the Bronchos' program and the culture being built inside the locker room.
