Ending the Season Strongly

Last week the Eads Eagle basketball teams played against the McClave cardinals on Friday. The girls had an outstanding turn out and won against the lady cardinals by almost 20 points. The boys basketball team did not have an as good turn out and lost to the cardinals. This week the boys will be playing at districts on Tuesday against the Kit Carson wildcats at La Junta. The girls basketball team will play on Thursday at Districts in Lamar the girls will play the winner of the Cheyenne Wells and McClave game. The boys will have to win against Kit Carson on Tuesday in order to move on further into Districts.

The Eads wrestlers went to the state tournament in Denver last weekend and did an awesome job. Justin Lenox, a senior, won the 220 pound championship. Another senior, Taylor Werich placed 5th in the 160 weight limit. Blaine, Reagan, and Robert all did an outstanding job also. All of the wrestlers did an amazing job this season and they did an outstanding job at the state tournament. A special congratulations to Justin Lenox for winning the championship.

TO BE AN EAGLE

It's a privilege to be able to call yourself an Eads Eagle. You have to make some sacrifices, but all the sprints in practice pay off on Friday night when you slip on that purple and gold. The people on the other bleachers don't get to wear it. They don't get to stand up and half-shout, half-scream, "We're a bunch of Eagles!" To be an Eagle is to have pride for your school, your colors, and your teammates.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let's Go Eagles!

Last week the Eads Eagle basketball teams have played Vilas and Kit Carson. They first traveled to Vilas to play them on Thursday. The Lady Eagles rose ahead of them and had a successful defeat against the Vilas Patriots with a final score of 48-61. The boys basketball team had a less successful night against Vilas and could not pull ahead of them losing the game to the Patriots.
On Friday the Eads Eagle basketball teams stayed at home and played a big rival, Kit Carson. Unfortunately they both could not get their heads in the game and both of the Eads Eagle teams lost to Kit Carson the girls losing their place as the #1 seed going into Districts. The Eads basketball teams did a fantastic job last week and now are looking forward to enilate at their next games in McClave and Hugo.

Also, last weekend was a big weekend for the Eads wrestlers. The wrestlers left for Pueblo on Friday and came home on Saturday. All of them did an amazing job wrestling and we had an awesome outcome with our state qualifiers. Out of our 8 wrestlers we had 5 of them qualify for the state tournament next weekend up in Denver. All of the state qualifers were Justin Lenox, Taylor Weirch, Blaine Winder, Robert Miller, and Reagan Lane. Good Job wrestlers and dominate up in the state tournament!

“There are plenty of teams in every sport that have great players and never win titles. Most of the time, those players aren't willing to sacrifice for the greater good of the team. The funny thing is, in the end, their unwillingness to sacrifice only makes individual goals more difficult to achieve. One thing I believe to the fullest is that if you think and achieve as a team, the individual accolades will take care of themselves. Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships."
