Bacon County schools to close Friday for football playoff travel

Bacon County schools and the district office in Georgia will close Friday, Nov. 13, so students and staff can travel to the high school football team’s state playoff game. The Red Raiders, along with the school band and cheerleaders, are making a five-hour trip each way to face Heard County. Superintendent Traci Martin said the buses and drivers needed for the journey prevent the district from running its usual afternoon routes.
