The school finally agreed to move the date back. I am honestly wiped out by how long this took but I am relieved we got the result we wanted.

The momentum is building but progress is slow and frankly exhausting. We need this next push to hit the hundred signature mark so we can finally be taken seriously.

We the Canton people are unfathomable, many of us has taken off to attend homecoming. HOMECOMING IS A HOLIDAY IN TIGERLAND! Do you see anybody changing Christmas because of a storm? No. My point is a little rain never hurted anyone. This storm suppose to been here three weeks now, change the date back. Signed : A MAD BLACK WOMAN

Moving homecoming is putting the Alumus as well as those with children in the school system at an inconvenience. No one complained about the weather so the game should remain on Friday as intended.

It wasn't taken into consideration that people have taken off work, coming from different areas, kids have hair appointments, vehicles have been rented, class shirts are being ordered, money has been spent on food ,and etc. THIS IS WRONG!!

It will not be storming on that day. The players, alumni, and student body do not mind participating in Homecoming in the midst of forty percent of rain.

It’s not fair! I stay out of town. I attend every year and I will not make it to the Homecoming festivities on Thursday when I took off in advance for Friday.
