The Lady Bison softball team made school history as the first-ever fast pitch district champs. The girls clinched the title by soundly defeating Dover 14-2 in the first game and 11-0 in the second game when they held Dover to no runs. The softball girls next advance to Regionals Thursday and Friday of next week. Head coach Rick Scott was elated with the team's performance. "They've been preparing for this all season. They played as a team and just did an awesome job."

On Friday night, the Eagles hosted the number one team in Class A, Cashion. On Cashion's first possession, safety Chris Sanders swooped in to pick off a pass on just the second play from scrimmage. After the offense stalled, the Eagles had to punt the ball back. The Tigers moved the ball and scored on a pass, moving across our defense. The Eagles quickly pushed down the field with some strikes from Sanders, Joe Jackson, and, on fourth down, Deondre Dunn takes a fake punt to keep the drive moving. The Eagles capitalized with a score after methodically pressing forward, bringing them within one point in the 1st quarter.

The Eagles football team was back in action on Thursday against Minco for the home opener. Despite two turnovers by the Eagle defense, the offense wasn't able to capitalize, and found themselves down 20-6, going into halftime. A furious comeback ensued after Joe Jackson unleashed some fiery passes to Deondre Dunn and Aaron Perez. Combine that with Jackson's running ability and Kannon Kearney picking up yards at running back, and the Eagles were within a touchdown of tying the game.

The Eagle Football team finally got their chance Sept. 11 to start the 2020 season at Rush Springs. The Eagles started out hot, moving the ball with some great running from quarterback Joe Jackson and junior Levi Denham at running back. Freshman Chris Sanders gave the team a boost, both running and receiving, and juniors Deondre Dunn and Aaron Perez helped by giving Rush Spring's secondary fits in the passing game.

First year coach David Ellis of the Geary Bison football squad is understandably proud of his team and the way they played Sept 10 against the Ryan Cowboys. “We played Ryan a lot better than we did against Canton,” Ellis said.
