It was a last minute add to the summer schedule, new Paris coach Jonathan Vire has taken advantage of every opportunity this summer to give his new team plenty of practice and conditioning this summer. The latest was a last-minute addition that invited Lavaca and Dover to Paris for one last camp before the start of volleyball season and the beginning of the new school year. It is just a fact in Class 3A, especially in those 3A schools that play volleyball in the fall. But on last Monday night, the Lady Eagles basketball team took their shots against two good programs in the warm Paris Gymnasium.
All of the schools participating in the camp had players missing for various reasons. The travel ball circuit is winding down, and some players have family vacations right before the school year begins. So, it is difficult to gauge the progress of the teams. But one thing is for certain, the new Paris coach is working hard and giving the program every chance it has to improve in the upcoming season.
The Lady Eagles have a long way to go, but this is a talented and hard-working team that will improve once it has all of its players together and can begin to work together in preparation for the 2022-23 season.
