    "For he has made him, who knew no sin, to be sin for us, so that we might e made the righteousness of God in him"  
    2 Corinthians 5:21

  • CHS softball gets by Bronson

    Taylore Fuller crushed her 15th homer to lead Chiefland to an 11-1 home win against Bronson on Friday.

    Despite the run-rule victory, Chiefland coach Ginger Fuller wasn’t pleased with her team’s readiness to play, especially early.
