Thursday night was a beautiful evening for football and a great opportunity to honor America's veterans and those who serve our country. Our football team came up short but we were proud of their effort. Dragon Pride Marching Band performed for the final time and joined with the Washington band to perform the national anthem. Sophomore Kaden Pliler performed before the game. We honored football, cross-country, band, and cheer seniors and parents. Thank you to Goldsby Construction and Sheehy Signs for presenting our local American Legion with a generous donation. #phsdragons
