Back To Back Champions By: Liam Connor
Is this the most dominant team in Jasper history? The Volleyball team stood almost perfect in the regular season; one of the first times this has happened in our sports. The Eagle’s were led by seniors Livia Dumm, Laney Cawyer, and Taylor Hinds. The girls capped off the regular season with a 32-1-1 record and they also captured a district championship against Liberal, defeating them in 3 sets in dominating fashion. This season was an amazing improvement from last year and the entire team showed drastic steps forward in their overall gameplay. Following districts, the team continued their strong play in sectionals, defeating Archie in 3 sets. The Lady Eagles came up a little short in the state quarterfinal game, falling to Galena in a hard-fought 5-set battle.
Overall their final record was 35-2-1, three tournament championships, back to back district championship, and a sectional championship. Post-season honors went to Crystal Smith, Livia Dumm, and Shiloh Storm making the All-District 1st team, and Laney Cawyer and Alivea Roberts being named to the All-District 2nd team. Livia Dumm and Shiloh Storm also made All-Conference 2nd team, while Crystal Smith was on All-Conference 1st team in addition to winning Player of the Year. This was an amazing season to watch and we’re so proud of all the girls accomplished. It was awesome to see them dominate and we hope they can do it again next year.
More Than The Score By: Dylan Storm
The goal of athletic teams is to have a successful season in the win-loss column. When teams struggle, it opens the opportunity for negativity and possibly questioning why they even play. The Eagle football team had a rough year on the playing field, but under the leadership of a quality coaching staff, the Eagles proved there truly is more than the score.

To make an impact off the field, members of the football team participated in various activities that allowed them to better themselves while providing a service to the community and school. Whether it was reading to elementary students on Friday game days, assisting in the student drop-off line, or helping serve breakfast in the cafeteria, football players made positive impacts throughout the school and served as great role models for younger students.
To make an impact in the community, members of the football team engaged in community workday. Players mowed, weedeated, trimmed trees, trimmed bushes, took out trash for people, and did other miscellaneous projects for people. This workday allowed football players to show their appreciation for a community that has supported the program throughout the years.
Each year our football program strives to achieve leadership, positivity, and success on and off the field. This year proved to be a rough year for the Eagles on the field, but they made up for it with all the success they had off the field. Through their service projects, helping throughout the school, and the volunteer work throughout the community proved there truly is more than the score.
