For the first time since 2019, the Fairfield Eagles are advancing to the Area Championship after knocking-off the Orangefield Bobcats 4942 on Friday night, Nov. 15, at Splendora High School in the Bi-District Championship.
Fairfield will travel to Temple on Friday night, Nov. 22, to take on the Yoakum Bulldogs in the Area Championship at 7 p.m. Fairfield ISD will release students at 1:30 p.m. on Friday as well to allow travel time for fans to go support the Eagles.
“Our goal this season has been to win a playoff game. These guys kept playing through all the high and lows of the game and came out with a huge win,” coach John Bachtel said. “We played as a team and just kept battling. I’m proud that we didn’t give up, when a couple of times we could have.”
