October 17th Football Game Location Change: 

Hello,

I have made the community aware that we are moving the game to Wessington Springs. It is the best decision for the student-athletes and the team. Our field continues to degrade with the grass dying, and we will not have an unneeded injury occur because of field conditions that could be easily avoided. 

Feel free to share with your community.

Thanks,

Corey Flatten
