Due to excessive heat the HS football team will practice at 6am at Central Monday - Thursday(8/26 - 8/29). We will be in full pads and attendance is mandatory. Players will have time to get ready for school after practice. As always we appreciate everyone's patience and support.
We had our annual youth practice with the HS players followed by our lawn chair scrimmage this morning. Thank you to everyone that came out to watch/support the players.
