HAMPTON — Ahead of the biggest game in Henry County since last Monday’s showdown, teams are making a few changes to what they’re doing and remembering the days of old.
Eagle’s Landing High, a school that’s been around since 1990 was only able to seat 1,100 visitors ahead of the anticipated showdown between two top county programs. However, there is an improvement for the fans to look forward to on Saturday.
