Working as a team through three months of soccer games, they prepare each other and themselves for the state tournament near the end of October. The Eagles are fleet-footed and ready to win it all.
Basketball
The Eagles basketball teams have been ranked well in the state for many years. The amazing show of athletic skill the Eagles bring to the court every year draws many spectators. The teams work hard to perfect their performance in order to take the Illinois state tournament’s highest prize, the 1st place trophy.
Golf
The Eagles Golf team is a great way for EMCS students to experience the classic sport of golf. Each year, new team members realize that golf was not just swinging a club and that miniature golf is hardly related to the sport itself, The Eagles play 9-hole games against other schools, using the wind, weather, and natural landscape to their advantage. The golf team competes in the “Cow Cup Classic” in Galena, IL toward the end of the season.
