Kudos and criticisms

THUMBS UP to Habersham Central athletics, coming through with a big sweep of Gainesville High in basketball on Friday night. In a couple of weeks, the Raiders will host the Region 8-6A tournament in hopes of making it to the state playoffs. It also will be a regional showcase for our community.
