The Fairfield Lady Eagles defeated Elkhart and Westwood this past week to finish district play undefeated at 12-0. This is the eighth straight year that Fairfield has won the district title.
“Even though we have come to view a district championship as an expectation rather than a major accomplishment, it is still a necessary step for us to take each season,” Coach Sally Whitaker said. “These girls work so hard and they make things look so easy sometimes, but we are so proud of them for winning district again this year.” On Monday night, Feb. 3, the Lady Eagles knockedoff the Elkhart Lady Elks 5923. The game was postponed from Friday night, Jan. 30, after Fairfield ISD closed for the day due to sickness.
Fairfield jumped out to a 20-4 lead in the first quarter and never looked back. The Lady Eagles added 13 points on the board in the second quarter as the Lady Elks scored 8 to make it a 33-12 game at halftime.
