Important Message from both Sandhills/Thedford & Pleasanton Administration regarding tonight's game in Dunning:
Basketball Fans and Families: We are really excited to host the D2-7 subdistrict final this evening. I am going to ask for a special consideration from fans at this evening’s games. The condition of our parking lot as a result of the melting snow has made it very difficult to keep up with the dirt being tracked in. The damage done to the playing surface on Tuesday was significant. To minimize the impact of traffic on the floor I would like all fans to stay in the stands or in the commons area before, during, and after the games. We pride ourselves on offering our students the best facilities we possibly can and with more games to come and hopefully many more practices we need your help in keeping our playing surface in its best possible condition.
Thank you very much!
Superintendent J.D. Furrow
Pleasanton Families: We would also like to remind all of our fans it is our role to support our young ladies on the court this evening. We know this time of year can be emotional for everyone involved but please let the coaches coach, players play, and the referees ref. We appreciate your support of our girls!!
Superintendent Nathan Lightle
