Chiefland Middle High School's non-district football game at P.K. Yonge in Gainesville on Friday has been cancelled due to Hermine, and will not be played at a later date. P.K. Yonge is a University school, and so the game can't be made up Saturday, when the Florida Gators play, and Monday is Labor Day.

Bronson's home game against Sneads, which is located in the Panhandle, where Hermine is expected to pass through, is also cancelled.

It felt like more was at stake than a preseason tuneup in Chiefland’s kickoff classic against Jefferson County last Friday at Wayne Pridgeon Stadium, as it unfurled into a fiercely-fought, back-and-forth battle that came down to the final minute.

The Indians fell behind by nine points twice in the second half to the Monticello squad while their pair of top backs remained sidelined with injuries since the first quarter. But CMHS churned up 194 yards in the fourth quarter to give themselves a shot at a last-minute comeback win.

Vance Dickey had only recently arrived in Cedar Key to teach Phys Ed and head the boys hoops team, but he was already knee-deep in the program’s history as he cleaned out his new office.

“Man, there are years and years – I shouldn’t say years, because that’s misleading – there are decades worth of stuff here,” Dickey says by phone while taking a break from the cleaning. “I’m picking up uniforms I’m thinking are from the 1960s or 70s, and they’re falling apart.”

It's time for BPR Soccer sign ups. Children ages 3-14 who want to participate in soccer can be registered at Bronson Town Hall. Sign up as soon as possible, as there will be a cap on the number of players per team. We are hoping to fill all age groups, from Soccer Pups up to age 14, so get signed up and please let others know so they can get signed up!
