Dawgs hit Bulldog Field this Friday night,
new admission prices, regulations in place
After a 28-14 loss in the season opener down at Gainesboro, Tennessee, the gridiron Dawgs will put their game back on the field this Friday night, in a home setting on Bulldog Field.
Clinton County is set to take on neighboring Wayne County at Bulldog Field with a 7:00 p.m. kickoff. Bear in mind that starting time could be delayed should the heat index be above the allowed limits at game time.
The Dawgs fell behind early Friday night against the Jackson County Blue Devils, eventually coming up short by a couple of touchdowns in the season opener.
Wayne County will be coming here with a 1-0 record, having picked up a nice 35-14 win on the road against West Jessamine.
Wayne County plays in the 4A division.
New ticket prices, regulations for home games
CCHS Athletic Director Darrell Thompson wants all fans to know there are some new regulations and new gate prices that will be in effect come Friday night, and for all home football and basketball games going forward.
Game prices for adults will be $6. CCHS students in grades 9-12 will be admitted free.
All Clinton County Board of Education employees will also be admitted free.
As for students in the lower grades, there will be no more “dropping off” by parents and guardians. Students in grades K-8 will be charged a $3 admission fee, but they must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the event. If the adult leaves a game early, the younger students who came with them, must also leave with them.
There is also a “No Re-Entry policy now in effect for students who exit an event before it’s conclusion.
Thompson also noted that admission for the Kentucky All “A” Classic regional games will be $7 going forward.
Last of the “Big Three” summer holidays is here
This weekend we will observe Labor Day, the third of the three major summer tourism holidays.
If lake traffic on Dale Hollow last Saturday was any indication, this could be a heavy traffic and busy tourism weekend.
Just remember, give yourself a little extra time, a little extra space, and have a little extra patience when it comes to our visiting tourists on both Dale Hollow and Lake Cumberland, as well as our increasing number of RV Campgrounds that are popping up across Clinton County.
The holiday weekend also marks the “traditional”
end of the summer tourism season, but for those of us who live here, we know summer is far from over, especially when it comes to lake recreation.
Usually, there are at least six more weeks of decent and enjoyable boating weather in front of us.
Be careful, and have a safe and fantastic Labor Day weekend.
