Eupora’s two-day trip to Oxford wasn’t very kind to the Lady Eagles.
Eupora lost four games in Oxford this past weekend after opening the season with a pair of wins.
Eupora opened the season with a 10-0 win over Nanih Waiya and then hammered Louisville 18-1.
In Oxford, Eupora lost 14-7 to West Union and 7-1 to Lewisburg on Friday. On Saturday, Eupora lost 11-2 to Pontotoc and 9-2 to Mooreville.
“Last year we went to Oxford and won four games,” Hunt said. “We played four really good teams. It was a long weekend but you can’t let it beat you up too bad. It was a tough stretch of games against some good team. It’s no fun getting beat four times. We just have to understand that there is a bigger picture.”
Eupora will return to action this week as they are scheduled to travel to Ethel on Monday and then to South Pontotoc on Thursday.
