John Milledge-Bulloch postponed, but now playing Friday …
A COVID situation led Tuesday to John Milledge losing this week’s game against Bulloch Academy.
But within hours, the Trojans had a new opponent, which is an old opponent. John Milledge will visit Pinewood this Friday, rather than Oct. 27, as re-scheduled recently because of virus issues.
JMA and Bulloch will now play on Tuesday, Oct. 13, a few days before hosting Valwood and a few days after playing rival and AA power Gatewood.
Senior night will now be on Oct. 16 against Valwood, a week before facing Community Christian. The Oct. 27 game against Pinewood apparently remains on.
