STILL SEEKING LOCAL COLLEGE ATHLETES
The Winston County Journal is still seeking out alumni of Louisville High School, Noxapater High School, Nanih Waiya High School, Winston Academy, and Grace Christian School who are competing athletically on the junior college, university and college, or professional level.
All area coaches, athletic directors, parents and fans are asked to e-mail their lists to Austin Bishop at starsportsboss@yahoo.com. They can also be sent by text to 601-938-2471, but e-mail is preferred and more efficient.
We will run a partial list of what we have gathered for the aforementioned schools throughout this month in the College Notebook package.
YOUR OPINION MATTERS
