BI-DISTRICT Sulphur Springs vs. Jacksonville 7:30 PM Friday Feb 19th @ Hallsville High School

When I was a kid, we had a "Hometown of" billboard at the Mt. Vernon exit on I-30 that had life-size images of both Don and Bobby Maples in their football uniforms. He put Mt. Vernon on the map, and Jeff and Hazel's baby boy will always be a legend in M

Mt. Vernon DOES NOT have 200 positive cases. Since school began on August 6th, approximately 200 students and 19 teachers have been sent home to quarantine at various times due to exposure. This was for precaution only. For example, a Junior High cheerleader tested positive over the weekend, so on Monday 25 students who had been deemed to have been in close contact with the cheerleader, either through cheer or assigned seating in classes, were sent home to quarantine for 14 days. Just like most schools, Mt. Vernon has had some positive cases, but they are being proactive in requiring tho
