School/Sports

Harrisonburg Bulldog Cross Country Girls and boys’ teams placed well in the State Meet in Natchitoches on Monday, November 18.  

Block basketball participated in the Franklin Parish Jamboree last Thursday. Just a reminder that Jamboree games do not affect overall records and are not full games. They play two 5-minute halves. 
Both Block basketball teams (girls and boys) played two games each. 

Harrisonburg hosted Central High School for their homecoming Friday night where both boys and girls teams ended the night with a victory. 

(StatePoint) Research shows that afterschool programs not only help keep kids safe, but also help them succeed in school and life. Unfortunately, there aren’t enough such programs in the country today, experts say. 

Central High School
