Hello and HAPPY FRIDAY, #HarrisMiddleSchool Family and Friends! 🦅💙💛
What a week it has been here at #HMS!
This past week was Fall Homecoming Week, with plenty of action both on and off the field. From fun dress-up days and a fantastic pep rally to the Homecoming Dance tonight, it has been a busy and exciting week to be an Eagle!
So, without further ado, let’s turn on EagleVision and take a look back at all the HMS Sports action from September 21–25!
⚽ MONDAY
HMS Girls Soccer kicked off postseason play with a 4–0 victory over Highland Rim in the district tournament.
Slayleigh Doak scored two goals, including one off a corner kick from Kinzley Whitworth. Sydney Peacock added a goal on a penalty kick, while Macey Peacock rounded out the scoring for the Eaglettes. Gaby Reyes recorded another clean sheet in goal.
That victory sent the Eaglettes into a second postseason game on Wednesday. More on that in a moment!
HMS Cross Country competed Monday afternoon at Cascade. Elijiah Williams finished 2nd overall, and according to Coaches Gable and Cleveland, the entire team ran well!
HMS Volleyball traveled to Coffee County Monday night. Both JV and Varsity gave it their all, but both teams came up short. JV battled through three sets.
🏈 TUESDAY
FIVE IN A ROW!
The HMS Eagles Football team defeated Warren County 26–16 Tuesday night, earning their fifth consecutive victory!
With the win, the Eagles locked up 1st place in the CTC and secured their spot in the Lion’s Bowl on Tuesday night, September 29, in Tullahoma.
Coach Ransom had this to say following Tuesday night’s victory:
“We continued to do what we set out to do each and every week and that's get better. The failure that we experienced early in the year focused us to achieve what was out of sight at the beginning of the year, and that's being number 1 in the conference and having the opportunity to do something special.”

The HMS Eaglettes were back in postseason action Wednesday night, this time at home against Coffee County.
The Eaglettes came away with a 2–0 victory!
Sydney Peacock scored one goal, while a Coffee County own goal accounted for the second. Gaby Reyes recorded another clean sheet in goal.
With the win, the Eaglettes advanced to the CTC Championship Game! 🏆
🏐 THURSDAY
HMS Volleyball hosted Tullahoma Thursday night, and the evening also served as 8th Grade Night for our fantastic 8th-grade ladies!
Both JV and Varsity played their hearts out, but each team came up short against Tullahoma. Both squads battled through three sets and played very well according to Coach Mason.

In Ms. Caren Fisher’s 8th grade science class at Harris Middle School, students are taking Newton’s 2nd Law out of the textbook and putting it to the test!
Using hands-on lab materials from Vanderbilt University, students used K’Nex cars powered by twisted rubber bands to investigate how changes in force and mass affect acceleration.
Through testing and observation, #students gathered evidence to better understand the relationship between force, mass and acceleration.
Learning science is more than just knowing the laws. It’s about testing them, observing them and seeing them in action! 🚗💨
