RUSK — Things are on an uptick when it comes to Rusk Eagle football.
Rusk went through District 7-4A-II with an unblemished record last season, giving the Eagles their first outright league title since 2003.
Dave Campbell's Texas Football magazine has predicted the Red and Black, who return 14 lettermen and 10 starters from a year ago, to repeat as conference champions this fall.
Most of this year's team were still wearing diapers the last time Rusk was able to win district in back-to-back seasons — 2003, 2004.
It truly is a great time to be an Eagle.
