Middle School Principal Mr. Salazar pondering how well the Pink Out Bake Sale is going to do today! #diazstrong
We apologize for the confusion on the Football Schedule. We have a couple of changes to make note of.
Our next 3 games are in the following order: Post, New Deal and Tahoka.
The schedule that was released had an error with New Deal and Post switched.
Also note that next week's MS Games at Post will begin at 5:30 PM.
The last District football game of the season with Tahoka may have some changes. With a chance of athletes competing at the State Cross Country Meet on Friday, November 4th, we are looking to change our Varsity Football Game to Thursday, Nov 3rd. This will change our JV and MS Football Games to Tuesday, Nov 1st, and will adjust the band schedule (if needed with the qualification for the State Band Competition) to have their usual Tuesday night practice on Monday night, Oct. 31st.
