Girls Golf

The first girls golf season here at Eudora High School was a success. Just this past month, the girls team has headed to several tournaments in the area and have come home with different medals. Freshman Joellen Vogt was the first ever golfer to go to state for EHS Oct. 19. At the end of the two day tournament, Vogt brought home a medal after tying for 20th place.

Dance & Cheer

Although these two teams have not been able to compete in any competitions this year, that hasn’t brought down their school spirit. The EHS cheer and dance teams can be seen on the sidelines of every home football game. With their seasons coming to a close, they look forward to performing during the basketball season.

Football

The football team had their last fall season game Oct. 23. After a tough game, the Cardinals fall short to Spring Hill, 16-20. This will not stop the team though as they aim high for the postseason. Eudora took on KC Piper Oct. 30 and defeated them in an exciting game, 16-15. In an exciting finish to the season, Eudora narrowly fell to KSHSAA 4 seed Baseshor-Linwood 19-12.

Boys Soccer

The Eudora soccer team ended their league season with a record of 2-3-1. After a successful league season, the boys team prepared for their first postseason game against Bishop Seabury. After a tough fought game, the Cardinals came out on top with a score of 2-1. The boys made an appearance in the regional championship, for the second year in a row, against rival Baldwin Oct. 30. After a difficult game, the soccer season came to an end with a score of 0-3.

Cross Country

The boys and girls cross country teams had a successful season. Both teams placed 1st at the league meet at Ottawa Oct. 15. The teams then set their goals high. The goal for this season was for both teams to qualify for state. After racing at Baldwin Oct. 24, the boys and girls both placed 2nd, qualifying both teams for state. The cross country teams both ran great races Oct. 31 at state. The girls team ended their season as state runner-ups with Freshman Sydney Owens leading the team with a 2nd place finish. The boys ended their season with a 9th place finish at state with Junior Cody Loganbill leading with a 19th place finish.

Volleyball

The girls volleyball team had yet another exciting season with many ups and downs. The girls competed in the sub-state tournament at home Oct. 24. After defeating rival Baldwin in the 3rd set, the girls team took on Bishop Miege in the championship game. After a tough fought game, the girls season came to an end as they lost to Miege in the 2nd set.

Band & Choir

Although there might be no competitions or musicals, that doesn’t stop the band and choir students from performing. With all of the changes due to covid, the students are still trying to keep some traditions alive. The marching band performed their annual glow show Oct. 16 after the home football game with the theme of Dreamworks. Then choir students keep the sound of music alive as they sing in the classroom with masks on.
