Varsity runners would run the l...

Broadus Hawk Football traveled to Circle last Saturday, playing Circle at their homecoming. "It was a physical game," Broadus Head Coach Ross Randall commented on the Hawk performance.

Broadus led 8-0 after the first quarter...

Maintaining a lush green yard during the drought we’ve experienced takes a lot of watering or irrigation. Many people have cut back on watering and irrigation...
