No School-Labor Day on Monday, September 1
Tonight's football game could be interrupted due to some weather issues. Here is the lightening protocol so you are aware:

If lightning strikes within 10 miles, the game will go into a 30 minute delay.

Each time there is a new lightning strike within the countdown, the 30 minute delay starts over.

If the game is delayed, you must vacate the stands since they are metal.

Let's enjoy some Friday Night Lights! #Go Lions
