The Weatherford High School Bass Team competed in the THSBA West Division Bass Tournament at Lake Ray Roberts, on Saturday. Six teams represented WHS, with four of the six teams weighing in fish. Anglers Hayden Johnson and Ethan Cienega placed 19th, overall, out of nearly 200 teams. The bite was tough as a high pressure ridge shut down the bite and made for a long, hot day, but these competitors did an outstanding job, despite the difficult conditions.

Great job, Lady Roos!

It’s time to go PINK for volleyball and breast cancer awareness! Pink Out Shirts will be sold each day at lunch beginning Monday, September 30th and also at the pep rally on October 3rd. Short sleeve are $15, long sleeve are $20. All proceeds are donated to the Parker County Health Foundation.

Let’s pack the stands on October 4th for the annual Pink Out Game!

Saturday, September 14th , the Weatherford Roos played in a dual match. The first match was against San Angelo. The Weatherford Roos fell short to the SA Bobcats losing 1-18 with the only win coming from doubles group Austin Markwardt and Aaron Hairston, winning in a tiebreaker 9-8 (7-5).

With many matches coming close but falling short against Abilene, the Weatherford Roos had to really try in order to win against the 2018 District Champions losing the match 0-19. Although, the overall team score does not show how well the Roos really played, as many matches came down to the wire on whether winning or losing.

On Tuesday, September 17th, the Roos played Trinity High School. Unfortunately the Roos came up short once again against the Trojans. Losing overall 14-5, the Roos were down 2-5 against the Trojans after doubles so the Roos looked to counter back in singles. The only wins of the match came from two doubles groups and three singles players. Doubles wins consisted of senior Aaron Quy and junior Braden Carter, winning 8-6. Mixed consisted of sophomore Morgan Petersen and sophomore Shelbi Ruthesell winning 8-5. Singles wins came from senior Aaron Quy (7-5,6-1), junior, Katie Markwardt (6-4,7-5), and sophomore Shelbi Ruthesell (6-3,6-0). Next the Roos take on LD Bell High School.

Come out and cheer them on this Tuesday as Varsity competes at home!

GSA will be holding officer elections on 9/24 after school in F111. If you’re interested in being involved in GSA or being an officer, stop by Mrs. Tillis-White’s room in F111!

Mrs. Deann Seal's Agriculture Practicum class has been up and running for two years. In that short time so much has evolved. Students in Mrs. Seal’s class get a great life-lesson experience. Students even have the opportunity to branch out to local veterinarian clinics and do many hands-on things. She loves her students. She loves seeing them grow, especially students she's had since they were freshmen.

One of her students, Clara Conlon (Senior '20) says the practicum offers her an opportunity to get her veterinary assistant license, so when she goes to college, she'll be ahead of most students. Clara never thought about Ag classes until she took one and really liked it.

“I think that the CTE program has evolved drastically. Dr. Donaghey has done such an amazing job expanding all the programs, making them better for students and teachers,"

Mrs. Seal said.

Mrs. Seals has a class pet named “Happy”. Happy the dog was adopted from a shelter not too long ago. Happy is a companion for all her students; they love having him around. It’s a good way to release stress. It also allows them to build relationships/bond with animals.

If you would like to learn more about Mrs. Seal’s Ag class, come by the CTE Center and pick up the new brochure!
