Football update

The Piggott junior Mohawks put up a gallant fight, but fell to the unbeaten Hoxie Mustangs 0-30 at Parker Field Friday night. Next week the junior Tribe will make the trip to Wilson to take on the Rivercrest Colts with a 7 p.m. kickoff.

Tonight the senior Mohawks visit Harrisburg, and the Hornets will be celebrating homecoming (just like last year) and they're expecting a big crowd.

After many Mohawk fans were directed to out-of-the-way parking places last year (me included) I made an inquiry about the practice to the Harrisburg school officials.

Coach Craig called me back and noted that they only give preferential parking to Hornet fans that are tailgating, but added that they were expecting a huge crowd again tonight.

My concern was our older fans that may have to walk great distances from their parking spots.

Coach Craig noted that anyone who needs help can request it from the ROTC members that will be directing the parking. If you think it's too far to walk, or you have health problems that make it difficult, they will provide a golf cart or Mule.

He also encouraged Mohawk fans to get to the field early to avoid the last minute congestion.

Hopefully we'll have a big crowd from Piggott make the trip. But if you need some help all you have to do is ask, I'm sure they'll be glad to accomodate. Everyone I spoke to down at Harrisburg wants us to enjoy our visit, and will be working to be good hosts.
