    Main Street in Andrews was not exactly flush with patrons, as candy thrown from parade floats filled the roads and was washed into the gutters just as quickly.

    But a few of the toughest and truest to their school braved the terrible rain conditions Friday afternoon to salute their Wildcats in the 2019 Homecoming Parade. The theme for the students was celebrating decades past, and each picked a time period to represent.

   Despite other area games and events being called off Friday because of the poor weather, Andrews' game with Copper Basin was scheduled to go off as planned.
