Ironically, it will be Homecoming in Indian Country, and EHS Head Coach Marcus Lejeune and his scrappy team will welcome in rival East Beauregard for a 4-1A opener.

The Trojans come in sporting a 1-2 mark, with their lone win coming over lowly Pickering (54-35). The two East Beauregard losses have come at the hands of LaSalle (36-30) and powerful Rosepine (55-20).
