It was a season to remember. The Joseph Charter School experienced a serious fire in their gym on January 16, making the facility out of order for the rest of the season. To the rescue came the Enterprise School District seven miles down the road, who immediately offered their facilities to continue and finish the Eagles’ 1A basketball season. 
At the end of the regular season, the Joseph Eagles’ ladies placed 5th in the state after winning the 2A Old Oregon League District Championship.
