From the FCHS Athletics Department
A comment from Denny Dorrel, FCHS Athletics Director
Tonight the FCHS Wildcats will open their season vs Winchester at 7. Tickets will not be sold at the gate. Franklin County was given an amount of tickets by the Winchester Athletic Department and those tickets were offered to the families of our players and coaches.
Please read the following documents for COVID guidelines as well as where to park, and enter for tonight’s contest. We are extremely thankful to Winchester for scheduling this game on such a short notice. Please follow their guidelines as a courtesy for the willingness to play us tonight.
