PLAYOFFS!
Congratulations to our football team, who secured the Region Championship and an undefeated regular season on Friday after a tough win vs. ECI.
We will host Glascock County for the first round of the playoffs on Friday, November 14.
If we win, we will host the second round on Friday, November 21.
If we win on November 21, we could host a 3rd round game on Nov. 28, or we may have to travel. We don't know yet. If it's a home game, we will have a pep band only in the stands for the game. If it is an away game, the band will not travel.
