Fighting Eagles!

Wow! What a fast paced weekend we had with a basketball tournament at School of the Nations. The tournament started Friday Night and finished Sunday afternoon. Schools in the tournament were the American School (EAB), School of the Nations (EDN), Marista, and Santo Antonio.
 The girls played three games on Saturday. Their skills have improved greatly, but were so tired by the end of the night! They took a lot of tumbles and played hard. 

  The boys had 2 games on Saturday and 2 games on Sunday. Some of their games were very close. They played hard and kept their spirits up despite some challenges with calls. 

  We would like to congratulate our boys and girls teams for sacrificing their weekend to play in their first tournament. The drive that these students have shown has been such an inspiration to watch. Let's go Eagles! 
   Please stay posted for future games!

Contending for the Faith,

Lady Eagles 1st win!

  Our Lady Eagles had another opportunity to practice their basketball skills at EAB, but this time with their junior high team. The girls did a great job of moving the ball around and practicing their defense skills, playing zone and man-to-man. They made some good shots as well.
    They were able to win this game 34-16! It was great to see them gain some confidence as they will have a long weekend of games for the tournament. The girls are still learning, but doing an excellent job showing sportsmanship and representing our school.
     Thanks to all who came out to support the girls.
