Spring Hill VS. Brinkely
On Friday, the 22nd the Spring Hill Bears traveled to Brinkley. It was a really close game with both teams going back and forth. Six of our Bears would rush for 428 yards. Mason Moore and Levin McGuire led the team defensively all game. The Bears O-Line got all the credit for the offensive plays. With all the great plays and close game, Spring Hill topped Brinkley with a 40-30 road victory. Now, the Bears have to prepair for the Homecoming game against Dermott.

Whatley Words of Wisdom:
Principal’s Corner:
A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to what it was Experience is what causes a person to make new mistakes instead of old ones. Don't be nervous about taking on a challenge Who knows, you may become the next Einstein.
