Due to the weather forecast, threat of severe thunderstorms and heavy rain, the football picnic scheduled for Saturday, October 5th has been cancelled. It will not be rescheduled.

We are working with Coach Armbrust to set up a meeting with the 6th grade parents to discuss transition from Youth Football at a different date.

There will be no practice tomorrow, Thursday, October 3rd, to allow players to attend Family Fun Night.

The 6th grade Youth Spotlight is still on schedule to occur at half-time during the varsity game vs. Holy Family at Claffy Field in Milaca.
