Highlights from Friday Night's Game
The final football game of the season was held last Friday night against Akins High School at the Toney Burger Center. The halftime performance featured the Southwest and Combined Vertical Team 8th grade and Beginning bands. We also celebrated the 17th performance of "Those Burger Blues" composed by beloved music educator Arnie Yanez. It was a gorgeous evening for football and a fond farewell salute to our seniors.
