    Thoughts and Prayers from all of the Eagle football team and coaches past and present go out to the family and friends of former Eagle player Cameron Girffin who passed away on February 5th.  His passing is a tragic one and he will be missed by all.  Cameron was an outstanding young man and a great contributor to the Eagle Football Program during his years at East.
