I like Green Eggs and Ham, Kinder I am!

Hornet Golf had a great week. First we attended the Millsap JV Tournament on Monday. Chris, Kendrick and Xavier all shot personal bests. Then Wednesday we attended the Millsap Varsity Tournament. This is one of the toughest courses our kids have played and the wind made it worse, but our kids battled. I didn't have high expectations going into this tournament only for us to get better. We were one of the only 1As there and there were lots of 2,3,4 and even 5A schools there. The tournament was full with 100 boys and 60 girls. I just wanted us to compete. We definitely did that. The girls got third place as a team and the boys barely missed getting third place as well. As always I am proud of these kids. Coach Penn

Lots of action at Rising Star from our junior high track athletes! Great job, Hornets and Lady Hornets!
