It's a BEAUTIFUL day to support the Cougars - and you've got plenty of opportunity to do so right here at home... including the first-ever Soccer game at Izard County High School!

A few changes/reminders:
- Softball will begin at 4:00 instead of 4:30.
- There's no 3rd/4th grade girls game in Peewee Basketball - 3rd/4th boys will begin at 5, and other games will begin about 30 minutes earlier than normal.

Also, good luck to our Senior High track teams who are on the road to Pocahontass!
