20191004 STGOWTexas high school football can sometimes be a bit confusing. Not every game in the season is equal in the eyes of the UIL, the governing body of high school sports in the state. Post season qualification is based solely on your district record and the place in the standings that record puts you. Early non-district losses, in the bigger scheme of things may not matter.

District alignments can be confusing as well. Some, like District 16-5A Div. I, have ten schools competing for the four spots that qualify for the playoffs. That means only one non-district game and nine that count. More district games, however, may afford the opportunity to recover from a loss or two.

That is not the case in smaller districts like District 16-5A Div. II. While the seven schools in this district get the benefit of four non-district games to prepare for the games that count, the short six game district schedule offers less opportunity for error. Every outcome is significant.

20190927 MMHSvsMHSSTWith four of the six Big 7 teams that took to the gridiron last week emerging victorious, and with only one of the seven having a losing record through Week 5, 2019 continues to be a good year for Mission, La Joya and Sharyland ISD football teams.

Add to that the fact that one of the seven just knocked off the Valley’s No. 1 team and you could very easily say that it’s been more of a really good year thus far.

While it has often been said that all good things must come to an end, that may not be the case when it comes to teams like Mission Veterans, Sharyland High, Pioneer, Palmview and Mission High. That’s because these five teams have compiled a combined district record of 9-1 and while the Diamondbacks have yet to play a district opponent, they have won three out of four of their non-district games.

20190927 SHSSelfDefenseDespite being known as a place for peace, screams from hundreds of female student athletes from Sharyland High School in the library practicing self-defense techniques pierced through that silence last week.

“When someone is being attacked and they scream for all their worth, there’s a high chance that they’ll attract someone’s attention and get help, scaring their attacker away,” Martial Arts Instructor Bob Davis told the students. “This is your main weapon girls, please remember that.”

Davis was leading an introduction to self-defense seminar for the SHS female athletes Friday, Sept. 27, 2019. At the seminar, Davis and his other instructors from his McAllen-based martial arts studio provided tips on self-defense which included gun and weapons safety, having a buddy system when going out to ensure you’re never alone and basic self-defense moves such as blocking any attacks and striking back at an attacker.

20190925 AuthorVisitWith several books across the nation continuing to be challenged due to their content, the Sharyland Independent School District set out to celebrate these books with a local poet.

On Wednesday, 200 students from Sharyland High School were invited to hear Eduardo “Eddie” Vega, a McAllen native, read from his book of poetry “Chicharra Chorus.”

“We may not all have the same story or the same themes, but we can appreciate differences and that’s what this week is about. Acceptance, reaching out and starting with a ‘Hello,’” SHS Librarian Nicole Cruz said as she introduced students to Vega.

20190919 SISDforumThe Sharyland school district is inviting parents to meet with administrators once a month to discuss the latest education topics in the district.

Last week, the Sharyland school district hosted their monthly Family Engagement Institute, where administrators did presentations on what parents needed to know about their student’s education.

The Family Engagement Institute, according to district Parental Engagement Specialist Eunice Garcia, happens every third Thursday of the month. The discussion that was held on Thursday, Sept. 19, was the first for the school year.
