Our JH eSports team attended their first in-person tournament in Kilgore on October 21. While they didn't bring home any hardware, they played hard and showed off their improved skills. They strategized, worked together, and went much further than last year, falling just short of the semi-finals. We are very proud of their progress and can't wait to see what our next tournament has in store!

Volleyball Game Update: Varsity game 1st, followed by JV

Our runners competed in the XC Hawkins Invitational Meet this past Saturday, in what was a wet and muddy course that definitely proved to be a challenge. However, our runners were up for it, as we had all of our Middle School runners post Personal Records this meet, with most beating their previous records by up to 2 minutes! Our high school runners did a fantastic job, and they continue to set the bar high for the Junior High runners. All are now feeling confident heading into our District Meet!
