Our UIL Academic Meet started bright and early as we gathered under the lights at the JH and nearly 60 students boarded the bus to head for Devine. We competed against Devine, Hondo, Fredricksburg and Bandera. We knew our students had worked hard and had a battle ahead of them. I am so very proud of all that competed. We had 30 6th Graders compete, 12 7th Graders compete and 20 8th Graders compete. Several of our coaches are already brainstorming for next year and have started making goals to improve on our standings from this year. Listed below are the students that placed in events and the events they placed in. If you see them next week, please congratulate these students for representing our school and making us proud. I can say all of our students made us proud. They rock!
