    The Red Devils cheered on the Gatesville High School Hornets football team last night during their Military Appreciation Day game. The evening kicked off with a tailgating feast (complete with home baked cookies) provided by local churches and ended in team spirit as we welcomed the teams onto the field and learned some cheer-leading routines.
    Special thanks to the local churches and organizations that helped to make this event possible for our Soldiers!
