heck out the new rings! The Argyle Eagle basketball team enjoyed a special small ceremony during the fall on a Friday night before a football game. This gathering of Eagle basketball players, coaches, and families outside next to the gym was a final chapter to a season that was cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic. The occasion was to unveil the new bling! The Eagles received their state championship rings and enjoyed a celebration with current players from the
team and players who have graduated and returned to join their former teammates one more time. Last season was an exceptional one for the Eagles, and the energy of another state appearance had the community excited for a great run in San Antonio. But the team was forced to return home without playing as the state tournament was canceled due to the pandemic. But that did not stop the UIL and the Eagles from celebrating a special season and memorable playoff run. During the summer, the UIL honored all the state qualifying teams with state championship trophies and held a public video recognition that included all the state qualifying teams. The Eagle gym also includes a commemorative banner hanging to honor last year’s team. Congratulations to Coach Perkins and his Eagles on a great run during the 2019-2020 season, as the team finished
