We were supposed to play a make-up baseball game at Dadeville today. This game has been cancelled due to all of the rain creating poor field conditions. When a rescheduled date is set I will communicate that information. There will be baseball practice after school today in the gym.
We are also waiting to hear about the track meet at Stockton.
Due to current field conditions and the threat of severe weather this afternoon, the home baseball games for this evening have been canceled. If/when a make up date is scheduled, we will communicate that information.
FFA Teams competing tomorrow at El Do. Bus leaves at 7 am. Eat breakfast before you get to school, we won't stop prior to arriving at contest.
We have rescheduled our baseball game against Dadeville. Due to a lack of available dates, Dadeville was willing to host a double-header in order to make up our game. We will play at Dadeville on Tuesday, April 2nd and the game is scheduled to start at 7pm. We will not be able to play JV due to Dadeville already playing two games in one night. Bus will leave at 5:30pm.
