GREAT NEWS!!!!!!

 

Our mighty falcons made it to round 3! We will face Norcross High School on Wednesday, February 25, 2015 at 8:00 PM. The game will be at Norcross. The address is 5300 Spalding Dr, Norcross, GA 30092. We will have a spirit bus that is funded by PHS Athletics. Students must pay for their game ticket in advance so that we will not have any confusion at the gate. Tickets may be purchased in the main office before school and during lunch in the cafeteria. Permission Forms are available in the Main Office and should be picked up between classes. No students may travel without this form. First Christian Church of Mableton has offered to allow our travelling students to eat at the church at 5 PM. The bus will depart at 5:30 PM from the bus port and is expected to return at approximately 10:30 PM.

· Game Admission – The cost for admission is $10.00 for anyone who enters the game. This is a double header game that features Norcross vs Westlake Girls before our game.

· Passes / Complimentary Admission – GHSA Passes, GAOA Passes, and College Coaching Identification are the only passes that will be honored at the gate per GHSA regulations. These guidelines are set by the GHSA and are not local rules.

· Decorum – The highest levels of sportsmanship are expected from all fans representing the Pebblebrook Falcons and Cobb County School District. Our administration and Campus Police are responsible for removing any spectators who do not meet these expectations. All items listed in the GHSA Sportsmanship Statement apply to this event. I would like to highlight a few that were indicated in our instruction packet.

o Peps bands and artificial noisemakers are not permitted in the arena.

o Banners and signs are not permitted in the arena.

o Spectators must wear shirts and shoes at all times in the arena.

o Spectators are not allowed on the game floor at any time.

o Game management, security personnel, and game officials have the right to demand that spectators be removed from the arena for unacceptable behavior.

· Seating – We will abide by their gymnasium seating charts and use the sections designated for visiting teams’ student sections.
