ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS
Good Morning, EAGLE NATION!!!!!! Focus on good thoughts, and good things will happen. The Masters kicks off at 8 a.m. tomorrow. It was a cold and windy one yesterday and last night, which led to cancelations and forced teams inside for practice. It is looking a little warmer today, but not by much. It's still going to be cold out there today, so bundle up. Please keep checking the schedule below for changes to athletic events as Mother Nature is wreaking havoc this spring as winter just won't let go. The Spring sports season goes fast, so get out to see some athletic events before it is too late. The booster club meeting has been rescheduled to Wednesday the 16th. Team Sports pictures will be on April 23rd.
Check out the schedule below for the season (please know that weather can cause dates and times to be subject to change for games and events).
Remember, keep it classy, Eagle Nation!
Fun fact of the day: Winds on Neptune can blow faster than 1,200 miles an hour.
