ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS

Wishing you all the best this Monday Morning Eagle Nation! Every morning you have two choices: continue to sleep with your dreams or wake up and chase them.  

The weather wasn't enjoyable over the weekend which led to our JV and Varsity Boys Basketball games getting rescheduled to tonight. Come out and support the boys as they take on the #3 team in the state in Class C.  Unfortunately, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shade yesterday calling for 6 more weeks of winter.  Let's hope he is wrong, but the forecast for Thursday looks like he might be correct.  Hurry fast 78-degree weather!

Winter sports season is winding down fast as Modified wrestling is finished, Varsity wrestling has completed its regular season (sectionals start this weekend), and Modified Basketball only has two games left each.  JV and Varsity Basketball teams only have two weeks of the regular season left, so get out to see the teams soon.  
  • Spring sports open gyms have started (check the times below)!!!

Registration for Spring Trap season opens today. 

  • What a great race last night as NASCAR held its Clash at historic Boman Gray Stadium last night.

  • There are only 45 days till Spring and just 5 days until Spring Training begins with Pitchers and Catchers reporting or MLB.  It's just 13 days until the DAYTONA 500.  Let's get ready to start those engines.  It is 65 days till the Masters in Augusta, Georgia, and 152 days until Wimbledon.
