Bonham Football—OPEN The Purple Warriors take a mid-season break this week as they head into District play. With the open week the Warriors have focused on grades by going to tutoring this week. The varsity football team has made it three years straight without losing a single player to the 6-week grade mark. They

are now focusing to do the same at the nine week grading period that ends this Friday. We are very proud of the effort they have made. We are hopeful to have several make academic AllState again this year. However, the Warriors aren't all about work and no play

as they headed to the Midway to have a little fun this past Friday night. We're looking forward to a great week versus Melissa!
