20160202 Soccer Girls VMHS vs SHS LG-27Last year, the Sharyland Lady Rattlers and the Pioneer Lady Diamondbacks soccer teams were each one playoff win away from advancing into the Region IV 5A finals. Had the Lady Rattlers defeated Cedar Park and had the Lady Diamondbacks defeated Austin Vandegrift, the fifth round playoff game would’ve showcased the two Sharyland teams going head-to-head for the right to advance into the state tournament semifinals, otherwise known as the state’s Final Four.

Unfortunately, the much anticipated match-up between the two Sharyland sister schools never took place. The Lady Rattlers suffered a 2-0 loss to the Lady Timberwolves and the Lady Diamondbacks lost 1-0 to the Lady Vipers in the Regional Semifinals.

Ten months and two days later, the playoff match-up that never was, will finally be taking place. And while it will not be in a playoff scenario, there certainly will be playoff implications as the 3-0 Lady Rattlers host the 4-0 Lady Diamondbacks tonight at Sharyland’s Richard Thompson Stadium.

20160202 Soccer Girls VMHS vs SHS LGIn the 1993 comedy film, ‘Groundhog Day’, Bill Murray’s character keeps having to relive February 2 until he finally gets his priorities straight and wins over the girl of his dreams. This past Tuesday was Groundhog Day and had it followed the plot of the movie, members of the Veterans Memorial Patriots boys and girls soccer teams would’ve had to relive the day over and over again until they defeated the Sharyland Rattlers and Lady Rattlers.

In Tuesday night’s District 31-5A doubleheader, the Lady Patriots fell to the Lady Rattlers by a score of 5-0 and the Patriots boys fell to the Rattlers 5-2.

While the Patriots will have a chance to even up the score against the Rattlers, that will not be until later this month when they play their second round rematch. In the meantime the Patriots’ boys and girls will have to accept the fact that they are 0-1 in district play while the two Sharyland teams improved to 2-0.

20160128 Basketball Boys EVHS vs SPHS LG-29Going into Tuesday night’s hoops action, the Pioneer Diamondbacks boys basketball team was deadlocked in a three-way tie for second place, two games behind the undefeated Edinburg Vela Sabercats. A win would’ve not only solidified Pioneer’s chances of making the playoffs but it would’ve also left the door open to the possibility of the Diamondbacks making a run at the District 31-5A title.

Alas, it was not meant to be as the Sabercats jumped out to an early lead and never looked back en-route to an impressive 81-50 win over the Diamondbacks.

As decisive as a 31-point deficit may seem, the final score was not truly indicative of the closeness of the game throughout the first half and into the third quarter. A six-point run to open the game helped the Sabercats jump out to a 22-14 lead over the Diamondbacks at the end of the first quarter. While the Sabercats did add to their lead in the second quarter to lead by 12 (43-31) at the half, the Diamondbacks opened the third quarter with a six-point run of their own to narrow the deficit to six points (43-37) with 6:30 remaining in the period.

SISD Simply the BEST LogoSharyland ISD is one of 425 school districts in the United States and Canada being honored by the College Board with placement on the 6th Annual AP® District Honor Roll for increasing access to AP course work while simultaneously maintaining or increasing the percentage of students earning scores of 3 or higher on AP Exams. Reaching these goals indicates that these districts are successfully identifying motivated, academically prepared students who are likely to benefit from rigorous AP course work.

National data from 2015 show that among black/African American, Hispanic and Native American students with a high degree of readiness for AP, only about half of students are participating. The first step to delivering the opportunity of AP to students is providing access by ensuring courses are available, that gatekeeping stops, and that the doors are equitably opened so these students can participate. AP Honor Roll District’s are committed to expanding the availability of AP courses among prepared and motivated students of all backgrounds.

Helping more students learn at a higher level and earn higher AP scores is an objective of all members of the AP community, from AP teachers to district and school administrators to college professors. Many districts are experimenting with a variety of initiatives and strategies to determine how to simultaneously expand access and improve student performance.

20160122 ST-PT-AREA Sharyland-water-supply 8169The $22 million project for Sharyland Water Supply Corporation’s Water Treatment Plant No. 3 is finally finished. The company accrued debt and a 40-year note with the United States Department of Agriculture, but ratepayers don’t have to worry about a price increase just yet.

General Manager Sherilyn Dahlberg said the company is evaluating their process used for determining rates. The study will be completed later this year and then reviewed by the board, which will then determine if the rate should increase.

The plant project was blend of Sharyland Water Supply money and USDA money. The water company applied for money in 2009 and received approval for an $18.5 million loan and $3.5 million grant six months later.
