  1. Didn’t get any pictures, but I did blog the entire Grimsley-Page game and much of the Dudley-Smith game……

    We got the details, but in word not in picture…..

  2. ENTIRE GRIMSLEY-PAGE, HIGHLITES OF DUDLEY-SMITH AND JUST THE SCORE OF CENTRAL-ANDREWS. DON’T FORGET HIGH POINT, THERE ARE ALOT OF PEOPLE HERE THAT FOLLOW THIS SITE AND WANT TO KNOW… BLESS THE PEOPLE OVER AT THE ENTERPRISE, BUT THEY ARE NOT OUR ANSWER.

  3. I didn’t get there until around 4 o’clock. Had to work part of the day Saturday at another site. Here’s hoping that Bison Coach Ken Helsms will send us some info that we can add to the site.

    What I got on HPC-HPA was by phone from a friend of mine who was at the game, but they were gone as soon as it ended and their way to a soccer game……

    I don’t think this report is going any further until we get some help from Helms.
