The A team got right back into action Friday night, teaming up with the seventh-grade A team in an effort to keep the momentum going against El Dorado Springs Middle School. The eighth graders were able to do exactly that, beating El Dorado Springs by a final score of 32-21.

The seventh-grade A team put forth an even more dominant performance, beating El Dorado Springs by a final score of 22-7. With that win, the seventh graders improved to 4-1 on the year.
