Bearcat fans due to circumstances beyond our control and poor field conditions, today's Jr. High and JV games against Newton have been called off. We are hopeful to schedule make-up games later in the season. Thanks for your understanding.
Attention!!!
The Middle School and JV Bearcat Football games against Newton that were scheduled for today has been postponed until tomorrow, Tuesday, September 13th, at 5:30.
The athletics department has introduced a new program called “Dinner on the Bearcats.” At select home ball games, gift cards from local restaurants will be raffled off. We will raffle off a $20 gift card to Hibachi Express at tonight’s volleyball game. Let’s sell out our gym, and be sure to hold on to your ticket stubs!
