The Eastern Lady Comets volleyball team won the Sectional, the first volleyball Sectional win for
Eastern. Coach, Meredith Cipriano, said, “ When people asked players and coaches what team would
zome out victorious in Sectional 40, one of the last teams you would have heard is Eastern High
School. However, on Oct. 21st we shocked our opponents and maybe even our fans when we were
sble to beat Sheridan 3- 0, Tipton 3- 0, and Madison Grant 3- 0. By doing that, we were able to capture
that ever- elusive sectional title. The team worked hard all season and were able to put everything
together at the right time of year and do what no volleyball team has done before them at Eastern,
win that Sectional Title.”
Eastern’s Robotics Team Tops it Off!
This was the first year for a Robotics
Team at Eastern, but you would never
guess that from the final score at the “ Top
It OFF” Vex Robotics Competition on
Saturday, November 3, 2007.
Seventy- two teams from Indiana met in
Bloomington to compete in this
tournament. For the last month, each
team designed a robot to strategically
place balls into specified goals. During
the tournament, teams were paired as
allies for each two minute round.
After the final match, the “ Winning
Alliance” trophy was presented to the top
two teams: Walker Career Center of
Indianapolis and Eastern Jr/ Sr High
School of Greentown. Not only did the
Eastern Comet Tech Team score the most
points throughout the day, they
received the Prestigious Engineering
Award for their functional and innovative
design. Mr. John Van Matre
