Southlake Carroll Rolls On

If you are like I am, you're probably still reeling from this past weekends football game. Strange things happen when you refuse to quit, which is what happened. It also has happened all fall for several of our student groups. As I reflect on how quickly the fall has passed by, I realize it is in large part the result of our kids studying, practicing, playing and succeeding in the classroom to volleyball, cross country, tennis, swimming, choir and band contest, theater and in football.

Over the last couple of weeks we have watched our Boys and Girls win the State Cross Country title. They also won the Nike Regionals at the Woodlands and went on to Nationals where the Boys placed second in the nation and the girls finished 8th in the country.

Beauty and the Beast entertained our students and community with pyrotechnics, dancing, singing, to superb acting.  As the audience walked out I heard comments like ..... was that really a high school performance, surely not ? Great Job !

Are you Ready for Some Football? How about our UNDEFEATED    15-0 Dragon Football TEAM. Last weeks game seemed to capture the essence of this team. They choose not to accept defeat, they will themselves to victory, they find a way to win in the face of adversity and defeat. We are proud of them and their coaches for their sportsmanship, effort and never say die approach. The FOX sprinting onto the field as the Dragons scored the winning touchdown, seemed to underscore what we all wanted to do ........ sprint onto the field in jubilation, which we know is a violation of UIL rules, unless YOUR A FOX!  Congratulations and we look forward to seeing each of you at the State Championship game this coming Saturday at Dragon, I mean Cowboy Stadium at 4:00 pm. FEAR THE FOX !
