Your Salado Eagles came away with a victory in Friday night’s homecoming game vs the Jarrell Cougars, 14-7. Our defense shut down Jarrell’s offense all night, and our offense out-gained them by over 150+ yards. We also won the time of possession battle and the turnover battle. We pride ourselves in playing fundamentally sound football, and we did that better than the Jarrell Cougars on Friday. I couldn’t be more proud of our team!!
