State Champions

Dragon Success
Each year, we have the pleasure of watching and supporting our students as the participate in various extracurricular and co-curricular activities. We are always so impressed and proud of our kids for representing our school and community in victory and disappointment. We had our spring pep rally yesterday and as I sat there listening as our students and teams were being recognized it reinforced what we all know about our students, coaches and directors .... Success is the result of Heart, Commitment and Great Enthusiasm to give of your BEST. Congratulations to our students, teachers, coaches and directors for leading and succeeding in Great Dragon Fashion. TRADITION NEVER GRADUATES !

Basketball Teams
Congratulations to our Boys and Girls Basketball teams which both advanced to the playoffs. Coach Youngblood's team lost a heart breaker to Plano West 42-41 in the first round of the playoffs. Coach Morrison's girls advanced to the playoffs and beat Colleyville Heritage in the first round and lost in the Area Playoff game to Duncanville to 46-42. We are so proud of both teams and their coaches for having a wonderful year. These student athletes helped their coaches as they both reached coaching milestones in the number of wins over their careers: Coach Youngblood 400 wins and Coach Morrision 500 wins.

Swimming Team:
How does BEST in State sound! The Carroll Men's Swim team blitzed the competition en-route to being declared State Champions. It was a great team accomplishment as the men out placed their nearest competitor by 74 points.  Congratulations to Bryce Klein who was the State Champion Diver. Our Women's Swim team placed second in state by one point even though WE KNOW they were best in State.
