Due to road conditions along the route to Manhattan we are not sending the band/cheer bus or the pep bus. We are currently planning to send the buses for the game(s) tomorrow, but will evaluate the roads in the morning.

If you paid for the NFHS subscription for today’s girls’ game, I strongly encourage you to contact NFHS Network & request a refund. You can do it via Twitter or you can email them. And say a huge thanks to Brian Richter for all he does to keep our teams on the air. #WeAreSterling
