The LBJHS Volleyball teams did their part in the perfect week for JC teams as they notched victories against District 25-3A opponents IDEA-Montopolis and Florence.

The JV Eagle Football team traveled to Florence on Thursday and brought home their first victory – a 13-0 decision over the Buffaloes. Ryan Shipley (FR) caught a touchdown pass from Grayson Jacobs (SO), and Freshman Tyler Lorenz scored on a run play behind the blocking of Cristian Hernandez (SO) and Grant Gale (FR) for the Eagles.
