"Hi, I am Laura Bollock. I am joining the work force after five years of being

The MVP Titans open up their football season in Salem tonight vs the McCook Central - Montrose Fighting Cougars. Kickoff will be at 7pm. The game can be found online at https://www.cougars.liveticket.tv/
There will be a tailgate with walking tacos before the game from 5:30-7:00.
Fans are being asked to park south of the complex near where the bus will be parked. There is very little parking on the north side, so this will be the easiest entrance and the closest to our bleachers.
Go Titans!!
