Rest In Peace Mr. Hyatt! Words can’t express the impact you made on your students and those you came in contact with. You were a big part of the Lady Flyer program that will be greatly missed! Prayers to the students, faculty and staff at FCHS and most of all to your family!

UPDATE:
Matosha had a complication free surgery today! She will be in recovery for quite a while. They will obviously be awaiting several biopsies in the coming weeks. Today was a great first step in the process. Please keep them in your prayers.

Tonight's win over Dunbar was Head Coach Joey Thacker's 499th career win! This Friday at 6:00pm on Homecoming against Frankfort will be the first opportunity for him to reach 500. Former players, coaches and Lady Flyer fans plan to be here to cheer on The Lady Flyers!
We are asking for ALL of Flyer Nation to send up a prayer for Matosha Thacker this morning as she has an appointment in Cleveland beginning at 9:00am in regards to her recent health concerns! 🙏
What a showing from Flyer Nation tonight! A packed gym, a loud and fierce student section, tons of former Lady Flyers and W to advance to the 11th Region Semifinals on Sunday Night.
