Hello everyone.
Many of you probably are aware, but we have postponed our football game with Watseka this week. We have recently quarantined players, thus we are unable to play.
Moving forward, we are fully expecting to play the remainder of our games. There are a number of players that will be getting their minimum number of practices in, along with kids coming off quarantine.
Our young student/athletes are staying positive and continuing to put in the work. We are looking forward to the rest of the season!
Mr. Thomas
Principal
