Back by popular demand…..golf cart shuttles on Friday nights for home football games! Included is a map. We will pick up from the new Middle School parking lot just east of the Middle School. Feel free to use that lot starting after 6pm and we will have 2 golf carts (room for 5 on each cart) shuttling people back and forth to the stadium for each home football game starting this Friday. We hope this helps with the walking distance.

See map below for pickup location. After the varsity game the shuttles will be stationed at the entrance to the stadium giving rides back to the lot as well.

Thank you – Go Mustangs!
