Boosters will support Quincy trips in 2007-08
   GHS' athletes will get to ride charter buses to Quincy for a number of trips this coming year thanks to the generosity of the Booster Club. Under the plan, qualifying trips will be subsidized by the Boosters, who will pick-up the additional costs above the normal busing costs to the District.
   In 2007-08, arrangements have been made for football, volleyball, cross country, basketball, soccer, softball and boys track to travel to Quincy via charter. Additional, non-conference trips may also be secured for teams if they use their fundraising money.
