It is with great regret that we must inform you that this game has been canceled. An individual associated with the Hart County High School football team has been diiagnosed with COVID-19.

Canceling the game keeps both teams safe. Thank you for your understanding.

Support our local businesses and get a new Tee for the summer!

COVID-19 has had a profound impact on our families, schools, workplaces, and economy. Our small businesses are feeling the brunt of this everyday. We have created these shirts as a way to UNITE in our community and give back to our local businesses. With each purchase, you can designate a Hart County business that you want to bless with a donation of 100% of your purchase cost. We will keep track of designations and send these businesses a check to help them get through these uncertain times. Let's stand up with our businesses and let them know--
'We're in this TOGETHER!'

We will be set up in the municipal parking lot beside city hall tomorrow from 10am-1pm. Shirt sales are 1st come, first served. CASH ONLY.
Shirts are $20 each or 2 for $30.

Please respect the social distancing rules:
👉 Allow 6 ft between yourself and others
