Our VHS tennis team saw its fall season come to an end earlier than we wanted it to yesterday afternoon, as Lions fell to Canyon West Plains in the bi-district round of the Class 4A Team Tennis playoffs. Playing up a classification and facing tougher competition will just make you that much better for the Class 3A Team Tennis playoffs and for UIL Singles & Doubles competition that are played in the spring. Just keep on working! We're proud of all the players and coaches!!
Yesterday, these VHS students received a free Kona Ice after their names were drawn from a group of students who had perfect attendance. Receiving a free treat were (front row, from left) Jesaida Hernandez, Juanita Salazar, Bu Meh and Merrick Byars; (back row) Shyne Rodriguez, Julian Saucedo, Keigan Ballard and J'Dyn Cooper. The Kona Ice treat was provided by the VMS & VHS PTO. See, perfect attendance does pay off!
