Start Time Change: Football Scrimmage tomorrow (Friday, 21st) vs. Caldwell for the JV to start @ 5:30 pm, instead of 6:00 pm, and Varsity following the JV.
Groesbeck ISD is deeply saddened by the passing of Jeremy Jenkins, Athletic Director/HFC at East Bernard ISD, and his wife, Brandy.
This Friday, we invite everyone to wear maroon in memory of Coach Jenkins and Brandy and to show our love and support for their sons and the entire East Bernard ISD community.
Let’s fill the stands at Goat Field with maroon this Friday night for the 6:00 pm scrimmage, as we come together to honor their memory and support the Jenkins family.
For those who wish, donations can be made on GoFundMe: Jenkins Brothers Benefit Fund
