Another great evening at GHS. Congratulations to the Bearcat football team with an impressive 46-13 win over Elkins High School. In addition, the band had a great halftime show and the cheer squad brought great energy doing their thing.
GHS Homecoming Spirit Week starts Monday October 11th. Be sure to dress up each day to get points for your class towards the Spirit Stick.
Great night at GHS. Girls soccer shut out North Marion 1-0. Volleyball took down a sectional opponent, Frankfort, 3 to 1 on the match. Boys soccer is still on the field but are tied up 0-0 at half against Morgantown. I also caught a glimpse of the cheer squad supporting volleyball. 💛💙
