CHS FOOTBALL FACES FORMER HEAD COACH TONIGHT AT HOME

Former CHS Coach John Power returns tonight

Columbia High School football returns home after a two-week road trip to take on Morristown High School tonight at 7 p.m. at Underhill Sports Complex.

Aside from seeking to better there 1-2 record, the Cougars take on former coach John Power, who left CHS last year after two seasons to head the Morristown squad, which is 0-3.  

"Columbia High School is a special place," Power told Maplewoodian.com today about his return. "Coach Mobley and the boys are working hard. And they will be a highly successful program. I wish them the best." 

Columbia High School also reminded students this week of a policy barring backpacks from those attending CHS football games at Underhill.

Principal Elizabeth Aaron, who said it was put in place two years ago, mentioned the rules in her regular email to parents this week:

See that portion below:

On Friday night, please join us at Underhill Field for a home football game at 7 pm against Morristown. Students are not allowed to bring backpacks to the field. Be sure they leave all bags at home. In addition, please take a few minutes to remind your students that the same high expectations we have for students at school are fully in effect at our school events!
