🎾🥇 Congratulations to our girls tennis team, who won their second tournament championship of the season at the Nixa Invitational over the weekend! 🎾🥇

🏈 This week’s Guaranty Bank Athlete of the Week is senior linebacker Jacob Grimm, who is “the epitome of what it means to possess fortitude and grit.”

Grimm is starting in his first varsity season and had a breakout performance in Nixa Football's week four victory over Carthage. He totaled 15 tackles (3 TFL) and one forced fumble, helping the Eagles post three-quarters of shutout football.

Grimm and the Eagles (4-0) enter week five against Lebanon this evening.

👏 Congratulations, Jacob! Well-deserved!
