School

On Monday evening, Jim Biggerstaff and Doug McDonald were inducted into the Gaston County Sports Hall of Fame at the Gaston County Club.

The Editors of the Belmont Front Porch would like to congratulate each of these fine neighbors. Both Coach Big and Coach Doug served as positive role models and outstanding men for our children.

There was an article in the Tuesday Gazette about the event.

What you can wear and still look good:   

(yeah, right)      

·       Patchwork plaid Bermuda shorts are good alternatives for short shorts.

·       Short-sleeved hoodies with puffed sleeves are also in style.

Can anyone say uniforms?
