Second Quarter, Howe would battle back but our boys responded and ended the Quarter with a slim lead. During the second half our boys would go on to battle and build up their lead until the very end. Final score: CP 55 Howe 42 Boys will be back in action on Jan. 6th at home vs the Cooper Bulldogs.

Our varsity boys faced off against the Honey Grove Warriors on the second day of the Leonard Holiday Tournament. It would go on to be a rough outing for our boys, but they never backed down and played until the end. Our boys will play their final game of the tournament against the Howe Bulldogs. Their game will start at 12PM and will be played at Leonard’s elementary gym.

Your Lady Eagles 🦅 finished the Boles Holiday Tournament with a 2–2 record. They earned a hard-fought victory over Sulphur Bluff and battled tough but came up short against Celeste.

Eagle Pride Alert! While some of our Eagles are resting during the holidays, others are staying active and exploring future careers! 🦅🏀
Some of our Eagles are on the basketball court playing in tournaments, while another is gaining real-world experience—this eager Eagle spent time job shadowing at a local hospital.

Maud Poortvliet observed several areas of the hospital, including pre-op, surgical procedures, and the recovery room process. Dr. Walden (a CP alum) also shared valuable insight into the educational pathway and requirements for entering CRNA school.

We love seeing our Eagles soar both on and off the court! 💙

Your Lady Eagles traveled to the Boles Tournament and finished with a 1–1 record on the first day. In the opening game, they faced a very tough Alba-Golden team and came up short on the scoreboard after a hard-fought battle. The Lady Eagles responded with great energy and determination, bouncing back to earn a win against Big Sandy–Dallardsville. All the girls played well and showed strong effort throughout both games. Way to go Lady Eagles 🦅! CP 25 AG 67 Final CP 34 BS 27 Final Back at Boles tomorrow 1st game at 9am vs Celeste and 2nd game vs Sulphur Bluff at 1pm

Our varsity boy traveled to Leonard for the first day of the Leonard Holiday Tournament. Their opponent for the day was the Whitesboro Bearcats. The boys were in a tough and physical battle in the first half, with our boys falling behind in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the boys reversed the situation, battling back and going on a run of their own to end the quarter with a lead. In the second half, our boys would go toe-to-toe against Whitesboro, holding the lead during certain points of the second half. Ultimately, the boys couldn’t seal the deal and would come up a bit short. The boys will be in action tomorrow for Day 2 of the Leonard Holiday Tournament. They will face off against the Honey Grove Warriors @ 9:20AM
