We have to change our home varsity football game vs. Whitehall on September 11th due to the Bozeman pool of officials not being able to cover all of the games in the Gallatin Valley.

The game will now be played on Thursday, September 10th, instead of Friday, September 11th.

Due to not having enough bus drivers available on September 3, we had to switch our junior high volleyball home and away games with Ennis.

Instead of traveling to Ennis next week on September 3, Ennis will now come to Three Forks for a home game. We will then travel to Ennis on October 15, which is also the same day our varsity plays at Ennis.

Since it is MEA week and we do not have school that day, the junior high games will start at 1:00 p.m.

Thanks for your flexibility!
