Valley Sports Report
THE VALLEY — One of the busiest weeks you’ll ever see features home football games on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday this week, as well as the first meeting of the Tioga and Candor volleyball teams on Wednesday, and the Waverly girls swim invitational and Tioga volley tourney on Saturday.
Due a shortage of officials, Athens football will host Wyalusing Thursday, while Waverly and Tioga are both at home Friday, and Sayre hosts Montgomery Saturday to cap off Homecoming Weekend.
