School Patrol: BGA Students Battle In Annual Tug Of War

Posted:

FRANKLIN, Tenn. - In Williamson County, Battle Ground Academy held their end of the school year event, a tug of war.

The tug is a tradition at the school that dates back to 1935.

Every student from the 8th grade and up takes participated in the annual Tug of War across the Harpeth River.

For the past four years, the Platos team lost, but this year it was a different story.

It took less than a minute for the Platos to pull their way to victory giving them bragging rights for the entire year.
