Are you ready for some football? If you are like most fans, the season can’t get here quick enough. For those who follow Jonesboro-Hodge High School and Jonesboro-Hodge Middle School the good news is you won’t have to wait much longer. 

Both have recently released their fall schedule which should be a delight to those who like to attend games and not have to travel far. Of the ten games on the JHHS schedule, five will be played at Caldwell Peacock Stadium with four of the road games less than 50 miles away. JHMS plays four of their games at home and also has minimal travel for the four road games.
