Football scrimmages

Most area schools hit the field last week for football practice and had their annual intra-squads on Friday and Saturday.

It will be a towel scrimmage, and if people want to donate a towel or hand soap or hand sanitizer for the players it would be greatly appreciated. Boxes will be placed at the entrance for those who want to contribute one of the above items. Photo/Chelsea Weeks.
