With the leadership of our new coach, Mr. Byrd, the Eagles placed themselves in second place for Group 3, District 2. They continued theirtgood playing by winning over Spring Garden in the tournament. Next they met the undefeated Chatham team. The Eagles really gave Chatham ahard fight by playing thier best.
