FOOTBALL
“So far we’ve started 0-3, but we’ve shown improvement every game. Our goal is to be better than the day before and the guys do that on the daily. I am looking forward to our guys to keep on pushing and I feel like we can shock a lot of people in this state by making a run this fall.”
— Sloan Hayden, Sr.
Up Next: Friday Oct. 4 @ Louisburg
VOLLEYBALL
“Volleyball season so far has been so much fun. Our freshmen team is always so pumped up for games and I’m so glad that I have my sister Keagan there to give me advice. She is always there to support me. I am looking forward to a great volleyball season.”
— Kambry Shockley, Fr.

CROSS COUNTRY
“This cross country season is most definitely one for the books. As a team this year, I definitely think we are more ambitious and ready to takeover. We’re sick of being overlooked and seen as not good enough. That state championship is long overdue. Get ready for a Eudora Cross Country takeover.”
— Maya Pattison, Soph.

CHOIR
“So far this year, I’ve seen significant change in the choir classes, all posi- tive changes of course. Mrs. Enneking has continued her incredible energy this school year and I personally am very impressed and pleased with how Primo Voci is doing this year and can’t wait for all three choirs to perform at our first concert late this October.”

DANCE
“I think this season is off to a very good start. I was afraid of starting my first year as a junior, but I was wel- comed with open arms and I really enjoy being on the squad. There is untapped potential in our small team of 7 girls and I’m looking forward to seeing us reach as high as we can improve.”
