There was a day when high school’s could boast such an option but now the “sports bonanza” of watching local schools play football and basketball on the same night is reserved strictly for junior high. 

Local fans will get the rare opportunity for a “double dip” of action this Thursday when Jonesboro-Hodge Middle School hosts Lincoln Prep in a junior high football game and Weston Junior High makes the short trip to Ruston to face Cedar Creek for a girls and boys roundball contest.

The ambitious ones who would want to take in both are in for a scheduling treat as the 4:00 pm first basketball game tip off and 6:00 pm kickoff make it a realistic opportunity. 

The girls and boys from Weston Junior High will also be in action at home on Friday, September 20th, as they welcome Choudrant Junior High for a contest at the WHS gymnasium. Tip off for the first game is set for 4:00 pm with the boys game immediately following.
