EAGLE KAIN WRAPS UP SUCCESSFUL SEASON

At UCLA, East Eagle Kain Medrano established himself as a linebacker of note.

The sophomore finished the year with 26 tackles, 16 of which were solo efforts. He also recovered a fumble.

Kain was named UCLA’s Special Teams Player of the Week following a 44-10 blowout of Hawaii in which he had 3 solo tackles and a quarterback hurry.

The Bruins finished the season with a 6-3 conference mark, good enough for second place in the PAC-12 South. UCLA was scheduled to play in the Holiday Bowl but pulled out due to COVID-related concerns.

Kain also is a member of the UCLA Track and Field Team and in the fall of 2019, he earned a spot on the UCLA Athletic Director’s Honor Roll.

What a wonderful display of holiday spirit!

SUCCESSFUL TOY DRIVE
Thanks to the Eagle Empire, a lot of under-privileged children will have a happier Christmas.

Eagle students and staff, with direction from Mr. Ray LeMasters, teamed up with local veterans’ organization American Legion Post #2 for the 12th annual Toy Drive.

Through the generosity of Eagles, well over 200 toys were collected, and will be shared with youngsters in need.

Thanks to everyone at District 60 for keeping the memory of Reina alive.
