The Lady Eagles basketball team is off to a 9-1 season record with their only loss coming in the championship game of the Athens tournament on Saturday to Whitehouse. The Lady Eagles will begin their district schedule on Tuesday when they travel to Teague and then will host the Fairfield Tournament beginning Thursday. The JV girls competed in the Midway JV tournament on Thursday and Saturday.
The boys basketball team started their season on Tuesday night when they hosted Lovelady and picked up the win in both the varsity and JV games. The boys then travelled to the Athens tournament where they beat Kaufman, and then lost to Tyler Legacy, Marshall, and Temple, all of which are bigger schools and have most if not all of their team composed of players who do not also play football, so they have been practicing for well over a month. On Tuesday, the boys will travel to Venus and then will begin play in the Fairfield Tournament on Thursday. This is always an interesting time of year for teams that made a run in football because you end up having more games that practices at the beginning of the season. Practice time is very important when almost all of the team is comprised of players who also played football.
