The high school teams will open up Friday this weekend at the 3rd Annual Chieftain Tip-Off Classic. Our JV will play at 5:00 Friday night and the Varsity will play about 7:30. At the opening ceremony before the HL Varsity game on Friday night, the tournament will officially be renamed in honor of Cody Rainey. In honor of the dedication, we encourage faculty, staff, and students to wear the #RaineyStrong shirts on Friday to school and the game. Students and pep band - We'd love to see the student section filled with #RaineyStrong shirts, jeans, and boots. There will be a limited amount of tournament t-shirts sold during the tournament for $10. T-shirts will have the tournament logo on the front and sponsors for the tournament on the back. Proceeds from the tournament programs, t-shirts, and any free-will donations will be given to the Rainey Family to help fund the Rainey Scholarship given at the end of the year. Hope to see you at the games!
