Varsity Girls Basketball - Coach Parker
Varsity Boys Basketball - Coach Deterding
We traveled to Tonganoxie last Tuesday to take on the #2 ranked 4A team. We trailed by 5 points at halftime, but competed really well in the second half and the lead changed hands a couple of times in the 4th quarter. In the end, Tonganoxie made more plays than we did and we came up a point short, 36-37. Ty Abts (12th) led the way in scoring with 16, followed by Jaden Hamm (10th) with 9. Hamm also led the way grabbing 10 rebounds. Kale Hammerschmidt (10th) took 2 charges and led the team with 10 this year.
"I was really proud of how the team competed against one of the best teams in the state in our game at Tonganoxie. We didn't start the year with much varsity experience returning and we were playing our best basketball of the year at the end of the season."
Thanks to our Ms. Kimberlain and our administration for helping us get through this season. Thanks to the cheerleaders for being there the entire year and thanks to Mr. Johnson and the pep band and the student section for the fun atmosphere the last few games. You guys are awesome.

ATTENTION CLASS OF 2021 PARENT:
Please submit a senior picture and a baby picture for your student to be included in the graduation slideshow video. In order for the graduation video to be produced in time, we need these pictures asap. Seniors can bring their senior photo and baby picture to the EHS Office to be scanned, or drop it off with Ms. Kimberlin during temp checks in the morning. Pictures will be scanned and returned to the student the same day. Alternatively, you can scan your pictures at home and email them to carakimberlin@eudoraschools.org.
*If your senior has already provided Mrs. Schriener with a senior picture we will use that for the video but will still need a baby pic.

Cardinals Care Fund
The Eudora Schools Foundation (ESF) and the Eudora Schools are pleased to announce our Cardinals Care Fund. Take a look at this announcement video: https://youtu.be/8e2hqUDJp_I
The ESF's Cardinals Care Fund was created to meet the urgent, immediate, and basic necessities of Eudora students, to ensure that the student's physical, social and emotional needs do not stand in the way of their success in school. This program helps fill needs unmet by any other source. If you or you know of someone that has a need, please reach out to your student's school.
ESF administers financial assistance for emergency needs such as food, clothing, medical, transportation, utility, and housing. Of course, some requests are unique and fall into no specific category. Please note, this is an emergency fund and money is limited.

Cardinal Nation:
EHS has joined the NFHS (National Federation of High Schools) Network and installed new video technology at Eudora District Stadium and in the EHS Gym that will offer you the opportunity to subscribe so that you can watch all of our events at home. By subscribing you also have access to games at any school EHS plays that have the NFNS system; DeSoto and Piper are examples, as well as thousands of other schools across the country that are part of the NFHS. In these times of limited attendance, we strive to be able to offer all we can to our fans and students to be able to watch our events whether at home or on the road. Please go to NFHSnetwork.com and search for Eudora High School to see upcoming events your Cardinals are competing in. Thank you to all parents and spectators for your support and understanding during this year of unprecedented changes.
To subscribe to the NFHS Network go to www.NFHSnetwork.com, search for Eudora High School, and subscribe. This will be a great way for friends and family members who can’t make the game to watch their favorite Cardinal compete.
