The Thomson High School football team won its semi-final game against Appling County on Dec. 2 and will be traveling to compete in the Georgia AA Championship against Fitzgerald in Atlanta’s Center Parc Stadium at noon on Dec. 9. To ensure sufficient staff and transportation are available for Thomson players, cheerleaders, and band, the district will enact a “Learn from Home Day” on Dec. 9. Learning materials (not Chromebooks) will be distributed to students prior to dismissal on Thursday, Dec. 8.
Championship game tickets are $20 and available through GoFan, and parking in the stadium lots on Hank Aaron Drive is $25. The stadium has a strictly enforced clear bag policy. Thomson fans are asked to enter the stadium through Gate 8.
Also, as a result of the game, the Bulldog Players’ performance of Elf the Musical scheduled for Friday evening has been moved to Saturday, Dec. 10 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets purchased for the Friday evening performance will be redeemable at the Saturday evening performance. Additional tickets may be purchased for the 3 p.m. or the 7:30 p.m. shows on Saturday at THS Go Fan or at the door prior to each performance.
