​On Tuesday, October 17, 2017, ECMS hosted Drakes Creek Middle School for quick recall and testing competition.  The ECMS varsity team won their quick recall match by a score of 48 to 7.  Once again, ECMS students made a strong showing in testing.  Brody Johnson placed first in arts and humanities testing.  Catherine Vincent gained first place in science testing.  Meredith Hennion placed first in language arts.  Jonas Miller took first place, and Derick Jaggers finished second in social studies testing. 

Coach Greg Grey had the following comments, “An 11 and 0 record is a great way to start a season.  Our five returning middle school players are very impressive for this early in the season.  The five of them play very well together and play to each other’s strengths.  We faced some serious challenges from some very good teams at the Rockcastle Tournament, but the ECMS team played with great poise and confidence.  Our younger players or junior varsity squad have a 1 and 1 record and are showing improvement each week.  The entire coaching staff is looking forward to a great academic season.”
