RHS boys doubles take runner-up honors at State Meet

Life is a journey. It is a marathon comprised of many small races. Some you win, some you lose. However, the lessons learned while running your race is the true prize. As a coach, you get to guide, push, pull, and live every second with your players in part of that race. You feel their highs and lows; you get to share their celebrations and disappointments. It is both rewarding and painful. In the end, you hope you teach them more than a game.

Three RHS girls advance to State Meet at Region IV - 1A Regional Track Meet

The Lady Angora team traveled just south of Houston to League City to compete in the Region IV-1A Regional Track Meet on April 29th and 30th where the top 16 athletes in the region competed to advance to the state championship. The Rocksprings girls team got off to a great start on the first day of competition in the prelims where the 4X100m relay team of Amy Ortiz, Ava Grooms, Claire Burleson, and Alektra Hernandez qualified in the top eight to advance to the finals the next day. Ava Grooms also advanced to the finals in the 100m hurdles, and freshman, Alektra Hernandez just barely missed that chance after placing 9th in the 400m dash prelims. That afternoon, sophomore Claire Burleson got off a personal best throw in the shot put to place 2nd and earn a repeat trip to state in that event.
