ENNIS ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Improved squad has makings of a winner

Father, son double-header, Tuesday in Italy

Palmer (9-3) came up well-short in a 48-7 Class 3A area-round defeat at the hands of No. 8 ranked Winnsboro (9-1). The Raiders scored on their first two possessions to set the pace, and Palmer failed to capitalize on several opportunities in what became a very misleading score.

Cheer up, Lions fans. While the varsity football hasn’t had a winning season in four years, 2021, the 3rd & 4th grade Lions won the area flag football championship in Waxahachie last week. With an all-Ennis team filled with only third graders, they won three playoff games, the last two as underdogs to fourth grade opponents, to finish 8-1.
