Tuesday the Owls took on Devine, with both teams sweeping the Warhorses and securing a spot in the state playoffs! The boys won against on FEAST, Friday and the girls lost to Bandera. Congrats Owls! I was not able to see the games, because one of my best friends took me to see Brooks and Dunn on Tuesday and Big and Rich show on Friday. I know that its rare that I miss a game, regardless of the sport, but I just couldn’t resist seeing two of my favorite bands live. They were both awesome concerts! I got a lot of great pics, because our seats are pretty great!

Tuesday we also named Senior class favorites. There were eleven categories. Kelsie Garvick and Derek Trevino took home the crown for most athletic. It was not a shocking vote in the least bit, they are both super talented athletes, with potential to excel in every sport.

Garvick, plays volleyball, basketball, and is a state competitor in track. She runs the 100 and 300 meter hurdles, I don’t know her best time, but having gone to school with her for a little over twelve years I know that she is fast! She is also a varsity cheerleader. Trevino, aka “DT” plays football, basketball, baseball and runs track. He is a naturally gifted athlete, team leader and respectful player. Both are humble people who have worked hard for years to have the privilege of receiving this award. Congrats Guys!

Rachel and I were also named to the senior class favorites list. Rachel was voted as most likely to succeed and I was vote best personality. The rest of the categories are shown below. We thought I would be a great idea for the people to see how not only do some of these students represent there school in sports, but also in personality, spirit, respect and beauty. Congrats to all the class favorites!

Most Respected: Kate Wiemers( cross country, track, tennis) and Derek Bell (football,track)
