Our hats are off to all the amazing volunteers at Henry Clay and John Gandy Elementary who helped the Tiger Trot run so smoothly- especially chairman JoAnn Hunter! After running the Ashland Railroad Run for so many years, she made the Tiger Trot appear effortless. Well done!

It’s Homecoming this weekend as your Patrick Henry Patriots to take on Thomas Jefferson this Friday night at 7pm at home. Come out to see the game and the Homecoming Court.
