At Como-Pickton School, on Tuesday night, all eyes were "on the Eagles," as supporters came out to watch the Eagle Football Team in practice and attended a practice volleyball match-up, featuring the Lady Eagles and the Yantis Lady Owls. School in Como-Pickton won't open until September 5th, but all athletic events are on "go," as anticipation for the season is high.

Meanwhile, a group of interested parents and supporters were meeting in the school cafeteria, as the Eagle Booster Club, and forming plans for the upcoming year.  Chuck Lay, local veterinarian, serves as the President of the Eagle Booster Club and is assisted by James Hodges, as vice-president, Jamie Humphrey, as secretary, and Susan Jones, as treasurer. And, a number of interested parents are serving as committee chairmen.
