The Eureka Junior High Tornadoes football team opened their season with a 42-0 loss to the Caney Bullpups. The score reflected the youth and inexperience of the Tornado squad, which starts several 7th graders due to low numbers of 8th grade athletes.
In just a little over three weeks, Eureka Tornado student-athletes will begin their fall seasons and with that come important meetings, practices, scrimmages and contests.
A total of 88 golfers competed in a four-person scramble on Saturday, July 22, at Eureka Country Club (ECC), as they participated in the seventh annual Francis Campbell-Lew Marshall Memorial Golf Tournament, a fundraiser for the Greenwood County Hospital (GWCH) Foundation.
The four Greenwood County libraries – Fall River, Hamilton, Madison and Eureka – are hosting a bookmark contest during the month of July. Greenwood County residents are invited to design a bookmark representing things they love about Greenwood County and/or its libraries. The Greenwood County Commissioners will judge the artwork in four different age categories: 0-5 years old, 6-12 years old, 13-18 years old and 19 years old and above. The winning designs will then be reproduced and distributed through the four libraries. Entry forms are available at any Greenwood County library and should be turned in by July 31. This event is one of the “Greenwood County Libraries – Discover Your Next Chapter” collaborative projects and is made possible by a Dream Grant from the Southeast Kansas Library System.
A little trash talk was rampant last Thursday, July 13, as the Neosho Valley Junior Boys East (NVJBE) - Eureka team challenged their parents/siblings/coach in a fun game, after their season concluded.
