Panthers add another grid win

The middle school football season is quickly winding down for the four county teams as Greenfield has one game left after Monday’s game against Stewart County Middle School.
Martin was scheduled to play I.B. Tigrette tonight, but it has been canceled due to the parent/teacher conference taking place today from noon until 6 p.m. at the middle school.
Martin did play at Henry County last week and came out with a 38-8 win. Greenfield fell one touchdown short of Stewart County 30-22.
Dresden and Gleason will knock heads tonight at Gleason. A Dresden win will give them the Reelfoot Conference title. This will be the Bulldogs last game of the season.
Greenfield will wrap up its season on Monday at West Carroll. Martin has two games remaining with both being away — at Dresden and at Inman. Dresden’s season will come to an end when it plays host to Martin on Oct. 4.
