This morning, we were asked to fill in for Burrton (who is low on players) at Fairfield tomorrow night in their scheduled game. We have accepted this offer. We realize this is very late notice, for which we apologize, but the offer came to us just after we learned we have to cancel our game with Burrton next Tuesday, Nov. 21, due to their low numbers. We wanted to make sure our teams had a chance to play before Thanksgiving.
Game times for tomorrow night are: Girls A at 4:00pm; Boys A at 5:00pm. Coaches will be in contact with rosters and travel logistics.

The public hearing for USD 311 proposed open boundary policy will be at 6:45 p.m. Monday, Nov. 13, at Pretty Prairie Middle School in the teacher workroom, 101 N. Maple St, Pretty Prairie, KS 67570.
