20180615 EricHolguinAs a graduate of Sharyland High School’s class of 2005, Eric A. Holguin said his experience living in the Rio Grande Valley shaped many of his views on several issues.

“I always say, the Valley has blown up within the last 10 years and San Antonio continues to grow, but Corpus Christi and the region around it, continues to get stuck,” the Corpus Christi native said. “How can we do what the Valley does to grow? The Valley has become such an economic force in South Texas that the coastal bend is getting looked over in terms of economic opportunity.”

Holguin is the Democratic candidate in the special election for Texas’ 27th Congressional District seat-a district that includes the counties of Aransas, Calhoun, Jackson, Lavaca, Matagorda, Nueces, Refugio, Victoria, and Wharton and some parts of Bastrop, Caldwell, Gonzales, and San Patricio. The seat was vacated when Former Rep. Blake Farenthold stepped down last April amidst sexual misconduct allegations against him.

20180606 SharylandScoreboardFor the next three years, the Sharyland Independent School District will receive $120,000 per year from 12 local businesses to help the district pay for the new, $800,000 scoreboard at Sharyland High School’s Richard Thompson Stadium.

 

This was announced during the Tuesday, May 29 Sharyland board of trustees meeting when the board unanimously approved the purchase of a new scoreboard for the Richard Thompson Stadium, replacing the one that has been in place for over 13 years at Sharyland High School.

 

“They don’t make parts for it anymore,” former district Superintendent Robert O’Connor said at the meeting. “There’s no option besides going out for another scoreboard and the board made the right choice in waiting until we had sponsors to pay for it.”

20180601 PioneerBoysPowerliftingchampionwinnerWith 12 District championships, eight Bi-district championships, two Area championships, one Regional championship, one Regional Quarterfinals championship, two State bronze medals, two State silver medals and one State championship, it’s been an extremely successful school year for the Sharyland High and Pioneer High varsity sports teams and athletes. Of course, successful sports programs have become synonymous with the Sharyland Independent School District (SISD) and while it’s now been four years that the success has been spread out over two high schools, the fact that the Rattlers and the Diamondbacks are both continuing the winning tradition, should not come as a surprise to anybody that has followed Rio Grande Valley high school sports for any time at all.

Here we will look at what this sportswriter considers to be the Top 10 SISD sports achievements of the year, either by a team or an individual. It is an objective list with the primary criterion used to determine which achievements were included and how those achievements were ranked, was how well a team, or an individual athlete, did at the higher levels of competition, such as Bi-district, Area, Regional and State.

With there being only a handful of local teams and/or athletes that succeed at the State level year-in-and-year-out, any team or athlete that earned the right to go up against the best-of-the-best across the Lone Star State and returned with one or more of the highly coveted State medals and/or trophies, will be ranked highly on this list. And while some may argue that reaching, and subsequently succeeding at, the higher levels is easier in some sports than it is in others, for the purposes of this list, success at the higher levels of competition trumps success at the lower levels, regardless of the sport.

With that in mind, here are the SISD Top 10 sports achievements of the year:

These students participated in Sharyland’s Legacy Walk, a district-wide event where graduating seniors from both district high schools returned to the schools where their journey first began.

For students at Pioneer, the event culminated with a presentation to the seventh graders during an assembly followed by a walk through the halls of the eighth grade classrooms where they had a chance to greet the students and teachers they knew.
