CCHS will head to the Southern C Divisional in Laurel for the first time since 2019 when they defeated Broadus to finish third at the district tournament.

Pictures do fly across our mind, when we were kids, years back; we crossed pastures on way to school; our lunch was what Mom packed. AWAY back then in olden days, ‘we’ had a Prairie School.
