The win over Dumas brings the Eagles’ overall record to 7-1. Senior Bryson Barrett said any victory against an opponent feels great.

“A win is a win,” Barrett said. “Our mindset is very serious. We don’t talk much in the locker room before games because we like to visualize the game ahead to focus.  If I do my job and the team does their job, we will do just fine. When we believe and trust each other, we play our best game.”
