Homecoming Game Update: Iberia is short JV players, so the JV game will start at 6 PM, but it will only be two quarters. Homecoming festivities will start earlier than expected as a result.
We have been closely monitoring the weather for this weekend, and it has become increasingly unfavorable for events on Saturday. Below are updates for this weekend’s activities.
