Sharyland High was in the spotlight at the Region V Division I Championships at PSJA Memorial last weekend as the Lady Rattlers powerlifting squad had five punch their ticket to the state meet in Waco March 14 through March 16.

The Lady Rattlers came in sixth as a team, but some individual performances stood out to give Sharyland a top 10 finish against the top competition Region V has to offer.

Brianda Resendez brought home the Top Overall Lifter Award after she finished first in the 132-pound weight class, shattering a couple state records along the way.

Desirae Lynn Vasquez had no idea that spending the night at a friend’s place would result in her arrest.

Vasquez, 18, was at a party with classmates last April and decided to spend the night there, she said. However, police arrived to the party in response to a noise complaint leading to the arrest of Vasquez and other individuals after police found cocaine at the scene.

“It was terrible, I went to bed thinking I’d wake up in that bed but instead I spent three days in jail,” Vasquez said. “I was the only person my age there, and I was terrified I’d be in jail for years.”

Due to a lack of opposing candidates, the Sharyland school district and city of Alton cancelled their upcoming May 4 election.

The Sharyland school board of trustees cancelled their election during their Monday meeting. As previously reported, Trustee Noel O. Garza declined to file to run for re-election after 12 years on the school board.

“I thought it was a good time to get off while the district was at its peak,” Garza said. “This board has had multiple successes throughout the years and I am confident the board and superintendent will continue to do great things.”

Sharyland Pioneer’s season on the hardwood may have come to an end on Saturday in the area round of the state playoffs, but the 2018-2019 Diamondbacks will go down in school history as one of the best teams to ever take the court at SPHS.

The Diamondbacks earned the first district championship in program history after a 13-1 record in 31-5A action, and in advancing to the second round, added Sharyland Pioneer’s third bi-district championship to the trophy case.
