Fall sports at Eagle High this year are coming to an end. Basketball and wrestling are coming with the snowfall changing seasons. 

The first basketball game is on Nov. 30. The varsity team finished with an incredible record of 20-5 last year. They are hoping to do the same this upcoming season. 

“I’m really excited for the season. I believe that our basketball team can be the best this year,” said senior Malachi Matangelo. “We have put a lot of work this offseason, and we are excited to see it translate into wins this season.” 

Last season, Eagle High made it to the state quarter finals, where they played Rigby High. They played an amazing game, but it ultimately finished with a heart-breaking loss. Eagle High game back from a massive deficit after half time and took the lead, but Rigby was able to hold on and get a very close win.
