We are honoring our seniors this week. Our first one is Joe Joe Escobedo. He was a captain and 2 year starter for the Eagles. He was also 2nd Team All-District and Academic All-District. He played great defense, hit huge shots, and was a great teammate. We will miss you Joe Joe!
It was a great night to be an Eagle last night. The team came away with a 64-53 win over Midland High. And we were able to honor the legacy of a great man, Odis Dolton. Thanks to the entire Dolton family for letting us honor and play for him last night!
Here’s the steal by Demarco Upshaw and the game winner by Jeremiah Talib.
The place was rocking tonight. Thanks to all our middle school and high school students who helped us come back.
