HELP NEEDED Hello, This Eastern Hancock sports history project is a work in progress. There is A LOT of missing information that is not included. Most of this information came from only what the school yearbook provided (often very incomplete). This is a starting point to try to have the most complete history of the sport as possible. If you have any information that can help us fill in the many blanks, please send to
[email protected].
[email protected]. I’m sure there are many individuals individuals that were AllAll-All-Conference, Conference Champions, County Champions, All County, and even Sectional Champions which might not be included. Do not hesitate to let me know if something should be added. Thanks, Joe Paxton
