Postseason Basketball Begins

The boys will face the winner of today’s game between Overton and McGavock tomorrow at 3:30. The girls will take on Overton tomorrow at 5:00. Tickets are available at GoFan.co. Go, Burros!
Speaking of Burros basketball, congratulations to senior forward Cortez Graham-Howard, who was recently named a Tennessee Mr. Basketball finalist. As the Hillsboro Globe notes, he’s the first Hillsboro player to earn this distinction!

Sage Refill Market Fundraiser Day
On Saturday, March 1 (that’s one week from tomorrow), head over to Sage Refill Market, a true gem of a neighborhood shop that carries a lovely selection of household goods, personal care items, and gifts. Thanks to the generosity of the owners (former Hillsboro parents!), the store will be donating 15% of sales that day to Hillsboro! Sage is located at 1214 Wedgewood Avenue, across from Belmont. Check them out! |
