Gridiron Gossip

The Booster Club would like to extend a warm welcome to new head football coach Kirk Armitage. Before coming to Prescott he was a defensive coordinator and the linebacker and offensive coach at Ashdown High School, as well as the dean of students. He is married to Cheri Armitage and has a 2=-year-old daughter, Madyson.

The Curley Wolves graduated a large class of experienced seniors in May, resulting in a young and fairly inexperienced team. The coaching staff was pleased with the tie against Lakeside Friday night. The Curley Wolves played a good game and will continue to improve throughout the school year.

Casey Ward dislocated his shoulder during practice and had shoulder surgery at Baptist Medical Center in Arkadelphia Monday, August 28. He spent the night in the hospital and will not be able to play for approximately six to eight weeks.

The PHS cheerleaders' annual mini cheer camp was a success this year with 70 girls attending. The mini cheerleaders will have practice September 7 with the PHS cheerleaders.

The mini cheerleaders will cheer at the Hope ballgame and will need to meet at 6:45 in front of the home bleachers. The mini cheerleaders will receive free admittance to the game if they wear their mini camp uniform.

The PHS cheerleaders would like to thank Shay Farris for her help in making the re-usuable run-through sign this summer and saving them about $700.
