Graves County Athletics was on fire Tuesday. The GCHS varsity soccer won their game against Marshall County with a game winning goal in double-overtime.

The 7^th Grade football team destroyed Mayfield 44-12 Tuesday night. They blew their shoes off. The 8^th Grade football team also celebrated a win Tuesday night against Mayfield. They won 26-6 with impressive offense and a stellar defense. The eagles will play again on Saturday at Murray State University. Both 7^th and 8^th grade teams continue their 4-0 streak.  We thank all the fans for the great support you showed against their rival Cardinals.
