will they stay in the shl since the birth of football?

[Five Point]

I don't see them leaving the SHL. A few schools in the SHL offer sports that others do not. Ripley is currently the only school in the SHL that offers a wrestling program. Lynchburg Clay offers tennis where the other 9 schools do not. All SHL schools except Whiteoak field a soccer team for boys and girls. Fayetteville is also in the process of working toward what Manchester has with a football program. They currently have a jr high program in place. Also, it wouldn't be economically smart for Manchester to leave the SHL. Sure, the bus ride from Manchester to Leesburg is a long one, but not even close to the misery it would be on a bus to Symmes Valley or Oak Hill. Just not a smart play on there part to leave the SHL.

On a brighter note, Good Luck this year Greyhounds, look forward to making it to a game. It's been 30 years since the Southern Hills League had football. I have always enjoyed hearing the stories of SHL football from the old days and it's good to see it back to those who can have it.

Yeah, I dont see them leaving the SHL. Good luck Greyhounds this week.

are the lights up and running at Manchester yet for the field.

[Five Point]

I think they are waiting on the seats now.

[TAR HEEL FAN44]

Lights are up and running. It will be a couple of weeks before they will have a home game. Best of luck Greyhounds this season!

[Tartanblue]

So East could be the home opener for the Manchester if the field is ready then?

[Portsmouth98]

At the start of this decade there hadn't been mention of football in the SHL in 20+ years, by the end of this decade they will have 2 varsity programs.

From what I understand East should be there home opener.
