St. John-Endicott/LaCrosse stood strong in first half

ST. JOHN — In the first football game of the season, the St. John-Endicott/LaCrosse Eagles battled strong in the first half, but ultimately fell to the Soap Lake Eagles, 60-18, on Friday, Sept. 6.

The SJEL Eagles are a very young team with one senior and several freshman playing varsity on it’s roster of 14 players.

“We’re a really young team and in a rebuilding season,” SJEL Assistant Coach Josh Chastin said. “But, the fact that no one in the crowd left and was in it with no murmuring or bummer, we’re pumped for that. We are playing almost every freshman we got.”
