Garner Football

The 8th Grade Garner Yearlings have recently had their first football game in the rain against Wood Middle school this past Tuesday. The rain, like the Yearlings, came down on the opposing team without warning. The A team came down with a win of over 16 points, but the B team wasn’t as successful. While without a win, their strong defensive line stopped Wood from scoring in a 0-0 tie. The weather was an issue, but not for Garner. Although the ball was slippery, the A team did not make one fumble and powered through the rain for the win.

STAAR

The brilliant students at Garner Middle School have just recently taken the end of year State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness, or STAAR test. The teachers have no doubt that their students will pass with flying colors due to the suitable preparation that they gave them. We interviewed some of Garner’s wonderful test takers and here are their thoughts on the test, “That test was easy, even for me.” states Jaime E. “It’s such a relief to not worry about that test any more, I beat the STAAR!”says Gabby V. Many of Garner’s fine students have no doubt that they did well on their test, eagerly await the results, and are excited to go to high school with confidence.

7th Grade Boys First Basketball Game

Finally Basketball season has arrived and I’m here to talk about the first ever 7th grade boys Basketball game of the year.

The first game the boys played was against Harris Middle School.

Sadly Go Team, A Team, and B Team all lost. I have to say the score was pretty good at the beginning of the game but it all went downhill after that.

D’angelo Antonino(7) said, “hopefully next time we can get a win.”

Boys Go Team played at 4:30 p.m., B Team played at 5:30 p.m., and finally A team plays at 6:30 p.m. These times stay the same for every game.

Of course things are not considered a sports game without the snacks, so thank you so much PTA for providing our snacks.

This is a picture of the 7th grade boys first basketball game against Harris.
