We are absolutely SPEECHLESS. Thank you Plano High School band and Planoettes! This was the most beautiful gesture to play OUR fight song with the Trooper Band. 💙💛💙

This
#MemorialDay
, we remember Sgt. Velton Locklear III. 1995 Eastwood graduate and standout WR on the Trooper football team. Died Sept. 23, 2006 from a roadside bomb in his 2nd tour of duty in Iraq. Once a Trooper, always a Trooper. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
We cannot express how heartbroken we are to hear of the passing of Eddie Cruz, 2019 Trooper grad. He was one of the great young men we’ve had the pleasure of knowing. Our thoughts are with Eddie’s family, friends, coaches and everyone who his bright light touched.
Not just an incredible athlete, but a wonderful young man. His Kindergarten teacher just said Eddie made it a point to come to her class at Scotsdale and read to her kids all four years in HS. He was a truly the embodiment of a Trooper.
#ShineOnForever
, Eddie.
We thank
@Plano_Schools
for reconsidering their decision to the Sept. 6 game. We look forward to playing Plano SHS and ask all Trooper alum in the Dallas metro to come support both teams as we work toward healing.

, James Bowman, a special education student, for the carry on senior night. FINAL: Eastwood 80 - Bel Air 39.
#BattleOfTheHelmet
As alumni, we are very disappointed in the decision of
@Plano_Schools
to drop out of their agreement to play the Troopers Sept. 6. Sports have healing powers. They transcend politics, race, and hate. El Paso has always been a shining example of playing through the pain 1/
Refs just gave the game away. A CLEEEAAAR Trooper fumble recovery was called back. Plano was able to run in for a TD two plays later. 36-20 Plano. 7:47 left in the game. Refs, you need 👓👓?! We know a few folks.
At Eastwood, the Troopers and
@EHSCoachLopez
had a saying: “Eddie Cruz gon’ be open.”
Remembering the life of a son, brother, friend and teammate taken far too soon.
Full story:
21-year-old Jaclyn Pellicotte was involved in a serious wreck. Doctors said she would never talk or walk again. She's now giving hope to others who are in her situation.
Painful. FINAL: 63-0 Americas over Eastwood in our season opener at home. Never underestimate an opponent. Tomorrow is a new day, next week is a new game. It’s a short week, but we’ll be playing Plano Sr. HS on Thursday at 6p MST in Frisco. We believe in you, Troopers!
Our thoughts & prayers are with our
@EsHeight
learning community today after the loss of one of their brightest educators (and Trooper grad.) Once a Trooper, always a Trooper. 💛💙💛💙
Congratulations to
@EastwoodHQ
Your 2020 UIL Conference 5A Girls State Champion. This is the first state championship for the program.

TROOPERS WIN! 41-0 over Horizon. Eastwood plays Midland Lee next week in Midland. Homecoming will be Sept. 28 against Montwood, which means we have two weeks to gear up for the Burning of the E!
#TrooperClap
Today is Game Day! We wish our Troopers the best of luck and hope they remember they were born champions, they were raised in a city of resilience & have the ability to overcome any obstacles. They are Troopers. They are El Pasoans. They are strong. Let’s win this thing.
Please join us, fellow Texans and athletes, to say hate has no place here, fear has no place here. Not on our fields, not in our schools, not in our state. We will play for El Paso, we will Shine on Forever.
