🏆🦅 State Champions 💙 Jonesboro Lady Eagles! 🦅🏆

Congratulations to Sgt. Cullar and her daughter, Paislee Cullar, for an incredible accomplishment as the Jonesboro Lady Eagles brought home the GOLD medal at the state competition!

What began with support, encouragement, and Eagle pride turned into a championship victory through hard work, commitment, perseverance, and teamwork. We are proud to highlight this special moment and celebrate the success of one of our own.

Earlier this season, our facility came together to support the Lady Eagles by making posters, cheering them on, and rallying behind Sgt. Cullar and the team on their journey to state. Seeing their dedication pay off with a state title makes the moment even more meaningful.

Congratulations again to Paislee, the Lady Eagles, the coaches, families, and everyone involved in this outstanding achievement! Your hard work and determination truly brought the gold medal home! 🥇🦅✨

Jonesboro’s 4x400 relay blazed to 1A gold, while Coolidge’s Mariah Johnson and Jacoby Brown earned silver medals to lead Central Texas on the final day of the UIL state meet.
