20180327 BulyArt 0015When he was 14 years old, a Sharyland Pioneer High School student was shocked to hear of the Orlando Pulse shooting, where a gunman opened fire at a gay nightclub and killed nearly 50 people and injured 58 others two year ago.

 

For the student, who will be called Roger to protect his identity, the reaction he saw of the shooting from a friend was almost as horrifying.

 

“She publicly posted on Facebook how she didn’t see the shooting as a tragedy because all the victims were gay people,” Roger said of the post, which he said came from a friend of his mother who attends the same church he and his family go to. “It felt very insensitive and it hurt to see someone proudly proclaiming that the lives of gay people don’t matter, especially coming from an adult I know and respect.”

20180316 STSoftball SHS vs VMHS LG-08Ten games into the 16 game softball season the Mission Veterans Lady Patriots are sizzling! Not only have they won four in a row, and six of their last seven, but their 8-2 District 31-5A record (11-7 overall) has them in sole possession of second place, just one game behind the first place Rio Grande City Lady Rattlers and half a game ahead of the third place Pioneer Lady Diamondbacks.

While their .800 winning percentage is impressive enough, the fact that the Lady Patriots have outscored their opponents 130-54 over that 10 game stretch is proof of how dominant Coach Vivian Ray’s squad has been thus far this season.

Furthermore, in a recent three game stretch, Mission Veterans defeated the Sharyland Lady Rattlers 15-4, the Valley View Lady Tigers 15-7 and the Laredo Martin Lady Tigers 26-0. That’s a total of 56 runs scored over three games.

Pioneer’s powerlifting pair of Obed Hernandez and Robert Saenz performed their best on the biggest stage once again, propelling the Diamondbacks boys’ team coached by John Lopez to a 3rd place finish.

Hernandez was crowned state champion in the 198-pound weight class, Pioneer’s first in program history, as the junior lifted a total of 1,610 pounds, putting up a personal best 640 pounds on squat and 610 on deadlift, while bench pressing 360 pounds. The 1,610 is also a personal-best on the year and 10 pounds heavier than Hernandez lifted at Regionals on March 10.

The Juarez-Lincoln Huskies and Head Coach Victor Ramos earned another district title in 2018 after cruising to an 11-1 record in 30-6A play. With one goal already accomplished, the Huskies are focused on making a run at the state title after falling one game short of a championship appearance last year.
