October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In honor of that, one Germantown home game each October is designated as the “Pink Out” game. Our only home game in October is the 14thvs. Neshoba Central. The Booster Club is selling pink shirts and we hope to fill the stands with the color of awareness. Below is a link to order the shirts online. Someone mentioned a Call out?
