Hayesville takes on Franklin at home today, March 7 at 4 p.m.. If the weather is good, you might want to come on out and root on the Jackets.

Actually, you can come on out even if the weather isn't so good, and in this iffy weather, who knows?

Still, there is no question about the strong team Hayesville is fielding this year. It should make for some exciting activity.
