If the track athletes for Quitman and Weston High School wondered what they had to do to win district this year, they got a good idea after all four district 2B schools participated in the Simsboro Relays on April 8th. If there is any doubt that should be confirmed this Thursday when both Jackson Parish schools along with the meet host come together again at the Choudrant Invitational. Addtional schools expected to participate include Calvary Baptist, Castor, Converse, Doyline, Gibsland-Coleman, Pleasant Hill, Rayville, River Oaks, Summerfield and Union Parish.
After winning the boys division of the Llewellyn Starks Invitational last week, Jonesboro-Hodge steps up the level of their competition this Thursday. Along with seven Class 5A schools, Class 4A Neville, Simsboro, Cedar Creek and Grace Christian out of Alexandria the Tigers boys and girls teams will take part in the Little Caeser’s Chief Relays on the campus of West Ouachita High.
