Hello Herder Fans! We have another update and schedule change for tomorrow's home basketball games. Whitehall has cancelled both the Boys and Girls JV games. Due to the inclement weather forecast for tomorrow, both Whitehall and SGHS have decided to adjust the start times for the varsity games to ensure we get the games in and so we can more safely accommodate those who will be traveling to and from the games. The Boys Varsity game will now start at 3:00 pm and the Girls Varsity game will now start at 4:30 pm. We hope to see everyone in the gym tomorrow afternoon! If you're unable to make it to the games in person, both games will be streamed on the NFHS website. GO HERDERS!
