Things were tough tonight at Palmyra for our first round district football game but I am extremely proud of our kids for their play tonight!! I received 2 calls today from area athletic directors commending us for playing this game. It would have been easy for these kids to quit and they didn't!! These are a fine group of good men who have been through a lot this season! Hats off to them for enduring in the face of adversity!! HIGHLAND STRONG! GO COUGARS!!
