No homecoming game tonight, homecoming parade to still happen
The homecoming football game scheduled for tonight between Fairfield and Groesbeck has been postponed until Oct. 30 due to a confirmed case of COVID-19 at Fairfield.
Groesbeck Coach Jerry Bomar said he received word at 9 o'clock Friday morning that the game would have to be postponed. He tried to find another opponent for what would have been Groesbeck's Homecoming game, but the short notice made it impossible to find another team to play and there will be no game Friday night.
The homecoming court and queen crowning took place at 6:30 p.m followed by the Ex-Students honors and a performance by GHS Band.
The football game against Fairfield is rescheduled for October 30, 2020 at Groesbeck High School Football Stadium. Tickets purchased for tonight’s game, September 25, 2020, will be honored for the October 30, 2020 game. An exception to the no-refund policy for tickets is being made for the September 25, 2020 Homecoming game only. For those who will not be able to attend the game on October 30, refunds will be given tonight, Friday, September 25, 2020, 5:30 – 7:00 PM and Monday, September 28, 2020, 4:30 – 7:00 PM.
