Fans,
We hope to see a great turnout tonight as our boys and girls basketball teams travel for conference play at Armorel. For those of you planning to travel, we want to make you aware that there is currently a bridge out on Hwy 140 from Lepanto, just before the Keiser turnoff. In order to avoid that, you can either turn off of Hwy 140 at Athelstan and travel to Armorel through Manila and Blytheville or you can avoid Hwy 140 altogether and instead go straight to Interstate 55 and travel up to the Blytheville exit to Armorel.
