Then our 8th grade teams will travel to Kernersville Middle for the Kernersville Cup games starting at 6:00pm on Tuesday night. We strongly encourage those of you who wish to attend the Kernersville Cup games to arrive early.  We are expecting a large crowd and many will be turned away at the door due to the small capacity of the KMS gym.   (cancelled due to snow day)
