Paris Begins 2021-22 Sports Year With Pair of AAA Benefit Games in Football & Volleyball

Where did the summer go? Wherever it went, the new school year is upon us, and that means the return of high school sports, as well, throughout Arkansas. And the sports season will begin on Tuesday for Paris when the Eagles football teams go south to play a non-conference preseason game with the Magazine Rattlers. Junior high action will kick-off at 5:30 p.m. with a varsity game to immediately follow. The Eagles will travel to Magazine on Tuesday to return the game from last year in which the Rattlers played in Paris.

The Paris Lady Eagles will play a “camp” style format with Farmington and Hot Springs Fountain Lake on Thursday at Paris Gymnasium. Farmington and Fountain Lake will begin play at 5:30 p.m., and the Lady Eagles will play immediately following the completion of the first game. Matches will be two-sets with each school having the opportunity to play each other in the session.

Gate proceeds from both the football game at Magazine and the volleyball matches at Paris will go to the Arkansas Activities Association’s catastrophic injury fund. Both nights should be a lot of fun and will offer a preview of both teams heading into the regular seasons for both sports that will begin the week of August 23.

Resident Press will be in Magazine on Tuesday to bring you the action that will appear Wednesday evening in the online edition of Resident Press. We will also be in Paris on Thursday to bring you the action that will be published in Resident Press on Friday evening. Stay with Resident Press for the most complete coverage of Paris athletics!

So, I’ll see you in Magazine on Tuesday night to kick-off the new year!
