The 7th grade Lady Bears hosted Bear Branch at home October 16th. The C team started off strong winning the match 25-11 and 25-7. Awesome job ladies, your coaches are so proud of how much the team has improved! The B team fought hard to earn another victory for the bears with scores 25-14, 23-25, and 25-10. Keep up the great work! Finally, the A team took the court rallying with Bear Branch to fall behind 22-25 in the first game. The ladies played with heart, passion, and determination making Bear Branch fight for every point. The bears ultimately fell to Bear branch 11-25 in the second game. All three coaches are proud of how each team played last night. We love seeing hustle and heart on the court! Great job ladies!

Good job last Thursday to all the 8th grade Lady Bears!  This week we have really focused on team work, leadership, and team spirit.  Each one of them did an excellent job displaying each one of these last Thursday against Bear Branch .  C and B team pulled out a victory after 3 matches.  A team was close, but fell short.  We are still so proud of each one of you.  Way to go Lady Bears!!!!  Coach Inman
Last night, C team came out focused and ready to play. They showed hustle and swept Schultz in two sets and came out on top. They are still undefeated for the season.The B team also dominated in two matches and finished the night with a win. The girls  played hard and won as a team. And finally A team pulled out the night with the final win. The girls had fun, worked together, and gained confidence on and off the court. We are so proud of all the 8th grade lady bears for "rolling over" Shultz!

MJH Football Information and News
MJH Football Itinerary for Monday, October 27th and Tuesday, October 28th.
The Gold Team played the Bulldogs from Magnolia Jr. High Tuesday night.  The Gold B started the night off with a bang as we played the best game we have played all year.  The Bears defense played hard and the Bears offense drove the ball up and down the field all night.  But in the end we fell just a little short on the score board 20-17.
The Gold A Team also played a great game against the Bulldogs.  The Bears came ready to play and it showed from the first snap.  On defense we played hard and on offense we played even harder but came up short on the scoreboard 20-0.  Great job guys from Coach Dickson and Coach Payne.
