All the nice telephotos are white. It's an evening/night game. 7:30-10:30pm. What do you think based on that info and those two lists of items?
Shooting from the stands, you want the 100-400mm. Crank the ISO, since that camera is made for this. The lights can vary hugely. In a major stadium, ISO 800 to 1600 will be hunky dorry. In many HS stadiums you'll need to be up at ISO 6400 or even higher, but don't worry about that because you've got equipment that'll work wonders in that light.

You want to guard against under exposure. I'd start at +1EV and check your blinkies, particularly if one team is wearing a lot of white.

Watch your shutter speed in the viewfinder and keep it up around 1/500-sec.

Looking forward to some high-ISO pix taken in real world circumstance.
