If you signed up for the TGCA weekly e-mail news blast last school year, there's no need to rejoin, but please be sure your school is not blocking our e-mails. We had some returned last year and it's because some schools have us filtered out as spam. Please double check and be sure your school is aware that you are wanting this to go through to you.
If you've not signed up yet, it's not too late. Don't miss out. These weekly e-mails deliver happening news directly to your inbox. Just click on the following link to register:

These e-mail blasts not only contain information directly from TGCA, but sports news across the state and nation. Please be sure your e-mail address is current and up to date.
