El Dorado’s senior class of 2023 didn’t bring home a lot of athletic championships. The Lady Wildcats won their second 5A state track championship and the cheerleaders won the 5A state title for the first time. Success can be measured in a number of ways.

Justin Dumas and Shadarious Plummer have been fixtures on El Dorado’s baseball team during their careers with the Wildcats.
