Strong has boasted a youthful squad the past two seasons. The youth returns for its senior season this year as the Lady Bulldogs aim for postseason action.
Strong’s Kaiden McHenry-Jones blew away the field Wednesday in the 110-meter hurdles, claiming the event title in the 1A State Track & Field Championships at Lincoln.
Strong had its fingertips on state track championships the last two seasons, only to see another team take them home. The Bulldogs will give it another shot on Wednesday when they compete in the 1A State Track & Field Championships in Lincoln.
The girls’ basketball senior class at El Dorado qualified for the state tournament for the second straight season under Coach Ashlee Curtis. It was the first time the Lady Wildcats went to back-to-back state tournaments since Stephen Harshaw’s last year and Destinee Rogers’ first season as head coach.
Curtis’ senior class was well represented on the 2022-2023 News-Times Girls Basketball All-Area Team. El Dorado’s Lindsey Lockhart, Lauren Nelson and Charalyn Rester joined Parkers Chapel’s Bella Frisby and Kallie Martin on the first team.
