"We won our game tonight, continuing our streak to start the season at 3-0," said EHS Coach Logan Arney. "The team had another strong performance to be proud of. In our first three games, we have had five different players score a goal."

"Our goalkeeper Pierce Verdeyen, a senior, had a great game with 24 saves. Mady Hodge, a sophomore, and Issac Fallert, a freshman, had great first games. Ronnen Bailey, a sophomore, had a great defensive game."
