Way to Go Red Raiders !
A Little late, but Necessary – Road Closures !
That paving project we talked about a few weeks ago has now moved over to Central Avenue/South Point Road from Main Street at Nichols to Nixon Road by South Point HS. Sorry we, didn’t post this sooner — like Saturday morning — there was havoc down there this AM.
People can use Julia St, Stowe Road (Hwy 273), and the various side streets to cut through and get around the traffic.
If you live in the neighborhoods, you know which streets to use.
Will Places First, Red Raider X-Girls Finish Second in Conference Championships
Congratulations to Elyse Will and her South Point Cross Country teammates !
Ms. Will won first place in the competition at Ashbrook in a season best time of 20:48.1. East Gaston won the team competition by 6 points over 2nd place South Point.
What is interesting is that in both the boys and girls competitions, multiple soccer players appeared among the all-conference (top 15) award winners.
