Before he was to run the 800 meters, Diquan Isom moved away from all the other runners & paced back & forth before the race began.  One could only take a guess at what Diquan was thinking.  Why don't you take a guess & tell me what Diquan is thinking.  Leave a comment.

Tennis Team Makes It To The Playoffs

The Mitchell County Eagles has had a successful sports season throughout the entire school year; football, basketball & track & field.  The tennis team would like to put their stamp on a great sports year as well for the Eagles.  With the guidance of coaches Tom Gilbert & Paxton Crosby, the Mitchell County Eagles tennis team finished 3rd in the Region 1A tennis tournament & will be traveling to Savannah to participate in the state tournament.  The Eagles are looking to go far in the tennis tournament but they have a big match coming up against Savannah Christian Academy.  GOOD LUCK EAGLES!!!

Before they were to run in the 100 meters, Justin "JB" Scott-Wesley & Jesse Atkins sat in an event official's golf cart at Hugh Mills Stadium in Albany to avoid the rain.  Looking mighty cozy as they sit in the cart, one could only take a guess at what they were thinking.  Why don't you take a shot and guess what these two are thinking.  Leave a comment and tell me what you think.
