Due to the high percentage for rain Wednesday morning, the decision has been made to move the Vernon All-Star Olympics to the Boys & Girls Club of Vernon. We are so thankful for the Boys & Girls Club offering to host our event in their two gyms. We would love to fill the stands in the gym with fans cheering on our all-star athletes. Tyson Foods will also be running a concession stand, with all proceeds going to the Vernon All-Star Olympics program.
Tomorrow night it's the girls' turn to hit the Leo Brittain Field for their annual VHS Powderpuff Football Night. The freshmen girls will face the sophomore girls, and the junior girls will square off against the senior girls in the semifinals, with the winners of those games moving on to the VHS Powderpuff Championship Game.
