The Region III-5A Meet will begin on Friday. We have quite the handful that have punched their tickets to attend. History continues being made with Eva Abshire and the young girl squad. The boys have Luke Cordle making history, as he was able to qualify for the regionals in all four of his events which has never been done before at Porter. Good Luck to all the athletes competing at the Region Meet!
