Orange and White By Claudia Cera




Continuing a tradition........The girls at Caprock High School have been
state champs for nearly a decade. These girls are dedicated, working
hard to get where they are. It's about winning. It's about doing what we
love also the fun we have all together, says Daffney Barbosa. "We have
fun, but when it comes down to the mat we get serious, blocking
everything from the outside, focusing on our moves," says Daffney.
Working hard now will payoff our senior year with a scholarship. They
stand up to be leaders for the girls who slack off. I asked some of my
fellow classmates if we had enough reasons to have school pride. Most of them
who answer yes said it could be better especially in football. The girls
say they had some ups and downs, but everything they had become was
thanks to their head coach Scott Tankersley, and assistant coaches
Ronnie Johnson and Chris Allen. Girls say that they put just as much
effort in practice as any other sports. The girls wrestling team is one of
the reasons we should all have school pride. "We should always be able
to put on our orange and white."
