Ms. Crystal Moore thanked the board for supporting the kids downstate over the recent brawl and subsequent sanctions.
Reagan Robinson said the kids involved in the brawl have learned a lesson, and also said that we need to increase solidarity in the community.

My Take:

Congratulations to the Harding students !!!

As for the HHS brawl, even though I am a diehard Wildcat through and through, what I saw on the tape of the brawl left no doubt that HHS started it. Griffith should have had restraint, and didn't. So now, a whole bunch of athletes blew the rest of the season. What the heck ever happened to Sportsmanship???
