Due to the potential for rain, storms and severe weather this evening, the VHS Powderpuff Football game has been canceled.
Due to the high percentage for rain Wednesday morning, the decision has been made to move the Vernon All-Star Olympics to the Boys & Girls Club of Vernon. We are so thankful for the Boys & Girls Club offering to host our event in their two gyms. We would love to fill the stands in the gym with fans cheering on our all-star athletes. Tyson Foods will also be running a concession stand, with all proceeds going to the Vernon All-Star Olympics program.
Tomorrow night it's the girls' turn to hit the Leo Brittain Field for their annual VHS Powderpuff Football Night. The freshmen girls will face the sophomore girls, and the junior girls will square off against the senior girls in the semifinals, with the winners of those games moving on to the VHS Powderpuff Championship Game.

Yesterday Lion senior Jackson Aydelott got to change the VHS Track School Record Board, as he set a new record last week in the Region 1-3A Track & Field Meet. Jackson set a new school record in the Boys 200M Dash with a time of 21.05 seconds. Jackson, who has committed to run track at the University of Wyoming, will be competing next week in the 200M and 400M dashes at the State 3A Track & Field Meet.
Yesterday was special for our newest Lady Lion track record holders, Breasha Waggoner and Key'Maria McBride, as they posted their new records on the VHS Track School Record Board!
Breasha, a sophomore, set a new school record for Girls High Jump by clearing 5-feet, 6-inches, and senior Key'Maria broke the school record she sat just last year by jumping 37-feet, 10.75-inches in the Triple Jump.
