Hornets move up in state rankings

HornetThe Athens Hornets were idle last week, but that didn’t stop them from moving up two spots to No. 22 in the Texas Football state rankings for this week. The Hornets are 5-0 on the year and scheduled to face Canton on the road Friday night to start district action.

Let’s Go, Hornets!

Lakeland House fall display contest

Lakeland House in Athens would like to invite everyone to celebrate fall with them.

The facility is holding a Fall Display Office, and invite people and offices to small display at the Lakeland House. The display cannot be larger than 3 feet x 3 feet at the base, and no taller than 6 feet.

Contributions will be displayed through Nov. 29. Displays can be as creative as possible, but nothing scary (no blood-and-guts Halloween, please :D). The displays will be judged in a contest by friends and family on Oct. 256.

Lakeland House: “Please join us in this fun activity and put your mark in our building for friends, family and visitors.”

Call the Lakeland House at 903-677-1272 for more information.
