This week we're looking back at one of the most memorable seasons in Eastern football history—the 2000 Eagles.

From TVC Championships to a State Playoff appearance, this team left a lasting legacy of hard work, toughness, and Eagle pride that continues to inspire generations of players.

Do you recognize anyone in the photos? Tag a former teammate, coach, or friend and share your favorite memory from that incredible season!

As we celebrate the past, let's also look ahead. Join us as the Eagles open the 2026 season Saturday, August 22, against Meigs at East River Shade Stadium.

Once an Eagle, Always an Eagle.

FOOTBALL TAILGATE UPDATE

We are hoping to open Tailgate parking early at 3:00pm for Saturday night's game.

Weather and field conditions permitting, the tailgate area will open at 3:00pm. Currently, the field is too wet to safely allow vehicles on it.

Please remember that our tailgate area also serves as our practice fields for our student-athletes, so we have to make sure we protect the field and avoid unnecessary damage.

We will continue to monitor conditions and provide an update as soon as we can.

Thank you for your patience and understanding! Go Eagles!
