This Mildred Eagles Sports Minute is brought to you by Premier Industrial Services
It’s time to wrap up Mildred’s 2025 football season. It was another successful year for head coach Jeff Callahan’s program. The Eagles finished 9-3 and placed second in District 8-2A. Mildred made the playoffs for the third consecutive season and advanced to the area round for the second straight year.
Mildred defeated Dawson 40-14 in the opening round, but the season ended in the Division I Region II area round with a 27-14 loss to Hamilton.
The good news for Mildred fans: key parts of this high-powered offense return. Junior quarterback Luke McKendree threw for more than 1,600 yards and 16 touchdowns. Cutting down on turnovers will be a goal, but his leadership is invaluable.
Running back Trenton Harris finished with more than 1,800 yards and 20 touchdowns in just 11 games.
A number of young players also return on a defense that forced 21 turnovers. Indeed, hopes are high for 2026.
