Home Opener!

Congratulations to the varsity football team's newest senior captains Devin Vandyke, Jeremy Haynes, and Cody Smith who played hard alongside their team this past Friday, September 2nd during the season's first home game. Unfortunately they experienced a 0-7 loss against Hayfield, but the school was still behind them in spirit and came out to pack the stands.(Senior Timmy Hunt was also named captain but was unable to play Friday due to an injury).
