Eustace ISD Moodle

If I have to inform you of just how well things are going at EHS you must have been out of the country.  Football, volleyball, and cross country have been the talk of the town.  Football with a 7 & 0 record is bidding for the District Championship for the 1st time in over a decade.  Volleyball has only 1 loss in district and is looking to extend that streak of post season play.  Cross Country boys have continued their dominance while the girls have put together their best team in years.  Here are a couple of pictures from the cross country meet EHS just hosted:

It's been a great Fall for EHS and we're looking to ride this wave throughout the entire year.  Students are taking care of business in the classroom as well with the fewest failures we have seen in the first six weeks and a solid attendance rate.

The Eustace FFA chapter works their way to the top at the Ft. Worth Livestock Show this past week. The Ft. Worth Livestock Show is the 2^ndlargest livestock show in the Nation with well over 10,000 Junior Show entries. Not only did the members of the Eustace FFA compete in the Jr. Beef Heifer show we also had a member compete in the Livestock Show’s Superintendent Beef Heifer Challenge. The challenge is composed of a test which consists of 50 questions based on twelve Extension Publications relative to General Management, Genetics and Selection, Health, Nutrition, Pasture–Range–Forage and Reproduction and Calving.  After scoring the tests the top scoring contestants in The Educational Information Challenge then presented a two minute Sales Talk to three industry judges to explain, "WHY and HOW the breed of heifer they are exhibiting should be used by a commercial beef producer". Sales Talk presentations were scored  with a maximum of 50 points, 10 points based on presentation and 40 points based on content. The scores of the three judges was averaged to establish the final Sales Talk score for each contestant. There were a maximum of 75 contestants that could participate in the contest with 65 actually competing. Our very own Mallory Mobly placed 1^st ; therefore, winning a $12,000 scholarship. Also, awarded to Mallory was a $1,000 scholarship through the Commercial Heifer committee of the Ft. Worth Livestock Show. Throughout her high school career Mallory has been awarded a total of $18,500 from the Ft. Worth Livestock Show by exhibiting heifers.

Congratulations to Coach Chuck Powers on reaching 700 wins in volleyball on Saturday! The Lady Bulldogs defeated Cross Roads 3-0 in a warm-up game. The Lady Bulldogs will play their bi-district game on Tuesday against Palmer in Kaufman. The game is scheduled to start at 7:00 PM. I encourage everyone to plan on making the short trip to Kaufman to support our Lady Bulldogs.

Even with the loss on Friday, the Bulldog football team will go into this Friday's game with a good chance of making the playoffs. If the Bulldogs beat Dallas Life Oak, then they are in the playoffs. That is the most direct route for the Bulldogs. There are other possibilities, but a win secures a playoff spot for the third consecutive year. The Bulldogs will play at Dallas Life Oak on Friday. The game will start at 7:30.

On Saturday, our boys and girls cross country teams will be competing at the Regional Meet in Arlington.  A top three finish at the Regional Meet will mean a chance to compete at the State Meet the following week. Right now, I do not know the times for the Regional Meet. I will post those later in the week.

This Week: This is the last week of the 2nd six weeks. Students will be taking six weeks tests this week.
