Both the girls' basketball team and the boys' baseball team played in Class 4A state championship games but both came up just short. Eville senior Bailey Grinter won the 100-yard backstroke state title and then took her swimming skills to Tennessee.

In the spring, girls soccer and baseball advanced to sectional final.. softball also advanced to sectional...

This fall, football advanced to quarters, boys soccer lost in regional title and both cross country teams made it to Peoria..

Conference titles in football, baseball, softball, girls basketball, boys soccer, girls soccer.. no sport finished below .500
