All 13 Lady Eagles received All-District honors this season. Fairfield won the district for the seventh consecutive year and made it to the Regional Final for the sixth consecutive year.

As one of my radio hero’s Garrison Keelor used to say, “It’s been a quiet week here in Lake Wobegon.” Change the word “Wobegon” to “Kaufman County” and my exact sentiments will be mirrored. But I have managed to venture afield close to home in pursuit of wild hogs between floods.

The Fairfield Eagles fell to the Little River Academy Bumblebees 13-0 and 3-1 this past week in the Bi-District Championship to have their season come to an end. The Eagles finish the year with an 18-10 overall record.

Unless you are reading my column this week online from somewhere in the middle of the Sahara Desert, chances are pretty good that Ole’ Luke doesn’t need to tell you it’s been wet, plenty wet!

I watched the weather radar closely and when I saw a break between storms, I loaded my CVA Muzzleloader in the truck and headed to a nearby hotspot for wild hogs.

The Fairfield Eagles defeated the Teague Lions 1-0 in their final district game on Tuesday, April 23, to finish second place in district play behind Franklin. Groesbeck took the third place seed as Mexia grabbed the fourth place seed. The Eagles enter the playoffs with an overall record of 18-8 and a district record of 9-5.
