By Kristin Hunter
The Eagles were undefeated in
the Vienna Classic Tournament,

championship victory over Meridian. Third place was by Pope
County (2-2), Gallatin County (13), and Ft. Bowman (0-4).
Vienna far out-played all the

Eagles were down seven points by
the end of the third quarter. Then
the Eagles took charge and scored
15 points in the final 11 minutes,
achieving a 66-58 win.
Four Eagle players were selected for the Classic All-Tournament team, a testament to the strong
force the Eagles played in the Tournament.
The Eagles took Second Place
in the Sesser-Valier Christmas Tournament on December 27-30.
Vienna defeated Elverado (7023), New Athens (61-40),and
Sparta (60-48), then went on to play
Waltonville for the championship.
Waltonville defeated our Eagles 6153.

VHS gets F.L.I.P.P.E.D.
F.L.I.P.P.E.D is a new
club Vienna High School
students are joining. Its
purpose is to help Christians
grow stronger in their faith,
and to have fun while doing
it. One focus point in the
club is to get people to “step
out of their comfort zone.”
To some, even coming to this
club may fit that criteria, but
everyone is welcome.
The name F.L.I.P.P.E.D.
stands for Followers Lead
Into Promising Praises
Every Day. Christians are
responsibility, patriotism,
leadership, and loyalty.
The faculty of the school
chooses one senior girl from
the class who they believe
By Whitney Newton
called to make a “difference”
and this club will help people
achieve that goal. Haley
Huff is the founder of
F.L.I.P.P.E.D. Andy Wilkins
is the sponsor and club
leader. Meetings are
generally held every
Monday starting at 5:30
P.M. and the meetings
usually last an hour.
If you have any
questions, or would like to
join F.L.I.P.P.E.D. contact
Haley Huff, LZ Crider, or
Charlie Thompson.
