Fairfield Lady Eagles will play in the Aggieland Tournament away Dec. 27-29. The Lady Eagles won their first district game which was December 7 against Groesbeck.
“Currently we have been working really hard to be in the best shape this season,” sophomore Addie Cox said. “Coach Barger has created a new workout program for us that includes a lot more time in the weight room. We are all getting faster and stronger due to the extra work.”
So far this season the girls have only had one loss to LaVega High School.
“The team has good chemistry this year, I am proud to say,” junior Shadasia Brackens said. “During my off time I continue to work hard. I go to the park with my dad and we work on my skills and improve them.”
The team placed first in two tournaments, the Lorena tournament on December 2-4 and the Fairfield tournament on December 9-11.
“I am very confident in my team this year,” Whitaker said. “With the right mindset and hard work, I believe we can make it far.”
The team, coached by Sally Whitaker, Randy Barger, Tarsha Graves, and Dennis Johnson, consists of seniors Emori Davis, Breyunna Dowell, Jarahle Daniels, juniors Jalynn Calloway, Shadasia Brackens, Mckinna Brackens, sophomores Addie Cox, Charlee Brackens, Avery Thaler, Cooper Lawley, and freshman Addison Posey and Jimilyah Nash.
