The football team’s head coach, Robbie Bradford, said the school as a whole always looks for ways to support each other and make the high school experience better for all students. The band went on to receive excellent ratings in their competition in Booneville. They are now preparing for a competition in Winfield, Alabama and hope to receive superior ratings in all categories.
