Exclamation of sur- prise A low point came during the drought of 2007, but "even then we were only taking out three million gallons of a daily fl ow that got down to 20 million gallons a day." The BRWA calls the Broad River, "One of the cleanest rivers in North Carolina." Hunnicutt gave high marks to all of the authority's employees but had a special word of thanks for Jennifer Goossens who serves as Business and Finance Admin Manager. "She has saved my life this year," Hunnicutt said. Goosens works in human resources, fi nance, accounting. "We are under a whole new accounting system this year." She also helps with employee training programs and dealt directly with the renovation of the new building which was done by Maple Leaf Design and Build, a local company run by Bernie Dilgert. Interior look came from Artifacturing, a local interior design company run by Jenna Bailey.

Football will now begin in February and overlap with other Fall, Winter and Spring activities. "Our goal has always been to return to the athletic fi elds," NCHSAA Commissioner Que Tucker said in a video press conference. "There are so many benefi ts to student- athletes playing sports, but we need to return safely." Each sport season will feature a reduced number of games in order to fi t all the sports in before the school year ends. The fi rst sport to start will be volleyball on November 16 with others to follow at regular intervals. Below is a chart of the start and end dates for each sports' regular season. • Nov. 4-Jan. 8: Cross country, volleyball (First competition, Nov. 16) • Nov. 23-Jan. 30: Swimming & diving (First competition, Dec. 7) • Dec. 7-Feb. 19: Basketball (First competition, Jan. 4) • Jan. 11-Mar. 12: Boys soccer, lacrosse (First competition, Jan. 25) • Feb. 8-Apr. 9: Football (First competition, Feb. 26) • Mar. 1-Apr. 30: Golf, boys tennis, girls soccer, softball (First competition, Mar. 15) • Apr. 12-June 11: Baseball, girls tennis, track & fi eld, wrestling (First competition, Apr. 26) • May 1: Cheerleading invitational The NCHSAA also plans to hold playoffs for each sport but will announce that schedule at a later date.
