FLYING HIGH: Fresh off a three games to one victory over non-district opponent Kopperl on Tuesday of last week, the newly formed Jonesboro Lady Eagle volleyball team, in their first season back, claimed a district volleyball victory for the first time in over 40 years on Friday by defeating Gholson three games to two. The high flying Lady Eagles were scheduled to host district opponent Aquilla on Tuesday of this week before traveling to face district foe Oglesby on Friday at 4:30 p.m.
Jonesboro’s football team, under the direction of Eddie Gallegos, defeated Stephenville Faith last week 90-0 to improve to 4-1 on the year.
The Eagles started the season with a 64-18 victory over Coolidge. After falling to Westbrook in week two by a score of 60-14, the Eagles rebounded to tap out St. Stephen’s Episcopal 76-4 and Newcastle 50-38 before shellacking Stephenville Faith last week. The Eagles are scheduled to face Hill Country of Austin on the road this Friday at 7 p.m. before opening district competition in Lometa on Friday, October 6, at 7:30 p.m.
