Lady Eagles To Host Union Friday
East Jackson Loses To Dawson In Sub-Region Game
By Brandon Reed
A 53-47 loss Friday night to
Dawson County left the East
Jackson Lady Eagles continu
ing to search for their first sub-
region victory.
The Eagles were scheduled
to face the Banks County
Lady Leopards Tuesday night.
Results were not available at
press time.
The next chance for the Lady
Eagles to get that first win is
a home game Lriday against
Union County. Prior to Tuesday
the Panthers were 12-4 overall,
and 2-0 in the region. Game
time Lriday night is scheduled
for 7:00.
Despite the loss the Eagles
stayed close against Dawson.
The scored was tied at 14 at
the end of the first quarter, and
Dawson County held a slim
lead going into the half, 23-20.
By the end of the third quar
ter, the score was 36-33, but
the Tigers picked up 17 points
in the fourth quarter to East
Jackson’s 14 to seal the victory.
Dynelle Todman led East
Jackson in scoring with 20
points. Autumn Wilbanks
scored nine, Marley Pullian
seven, and Emma Turner five.
Todman also led the team in
rebounds with six, while Turner
had five, Callie Moore four, and
Terin Gillespie four. Gillespie
led in assists with three, and had
three steals, as did Todman.
“We didn’t play an entire 32
minutes of the Dawson County
game,’’ said East Jackson coach
Amy Larimer. “We played a
very slow first half and, even
though we played much better
in the second half, we had a
hard time trying to battle our
way back. By that point our
opponent had the momentum
and confidence to put us away.
“We have to be able to come
out of the gates playing at a
high level of intensity and then
we have to keep that intensity
the entire game.’’
East Jackson now finds itself
down two games in the sub-
region.
“When it comes to sub-region
play, we have to take it one
game at a time and try to get
ourselves back into the middle
of the sub-region in preparation
for seeding in the region tourna
ment,’’ Larimer said. “Hopefully,
the second time around, we will
get some wins and be able to
split with a few teams.’’
Prior to Tuesday night,
Larimer said the Eagles and
Banks County looked to be on
equal footing.
“I expect a hard-fought, com
petitive game between two
teams that are equally matched,”
she said. “One thing about our
region is that every team is
going to play hard and force
you to do the same.’’

Eagles Finish Team Duals In Top Six
By Brandon Reed
It was a respectable showing for the East
Jackson Eagles wrestling team, as it finished in
sixth out of 16 teams in the area team duals at
Wesleyan this weekend.
The Eagles’ first match was against Holy
Innocents Friday night, which they won 60 to
21. They lost their next match on Friday, against
defending state champions Wesleyan, 60-11.
“The score doesn’t reflect how good we did
wrestling them,’’ said East Jackson coach Tommy
Palmer. “I was very pleased with our wrestling,
even though we lost.’’
Saturday started out very well for East Jackson.
First they defeated Decatur 60-13, then advanced
to win over North Oconee 48-28.
“As a team, the match against North Oconee
was the best solid performance we’ve put togeth
er,’’ Palmer said.
The Eagles’ third match of the day ended in a
loss, this time to Banks County, 57-22. It was a
rematch for East Jackson with the Leopards, who
defeated them 54-30 at earlier in the year.
“I would’ve like to seen us reduce that margin
of loss, maybe even turn it into a win,’’ Palmer
said. “But Coach Hanley over at Banks County
has done a phenomenal job with the wrestling
program over there and making sure that his kids
are prepared to wrestle.’’
Palmer says the young Eagles team is starting to
come together.
“For a first-year team to put a program together
and place in the top six in their area is definitely
an accomplishment,’’ he said. “This only sets the
goal for us next year to be in the top four. Who
knows, maybe next year we’ll be making accom
modations for a weekend in Macon.’’
East Jackson was scheduled to travel to Dawson
County High School to face off against Dawson
and Fannin counties Tuesday night. Results from
those matches were unavailable at press time.
Next up for the Eagles is the Darlington Dual
Tournament at Darlington High School on Jan.
26.
