Phillip Coggins will take overt the football program at Highland Home for the 2017 season.

       The Highland Home Flying Squadron will play in Class 1A region three during the 2017 season.

Last year the Luverne Tigers finished with an overall record of 7-4 and in fourth place in Class 2A region three. The Tigers lost in the first round of the Class 2A playoffs to Aliceville by a score of 47-14.
