Falcon fans,
With the potential for severe weather tomorrow evening, Clay Center running will begin at 4:30 with the 4x800's, not 5 like the schedule says. Field events will still start at 3.
Due to the potential for severe weather, the JV Softball and JV Baseball game will start at 3:30 pm tomorrow, Tuesday, April 1st.
Baseball will only be playing one game, so no concessions will be available at that game.
