The floral department recently arranged and made adornments for teacher Brittany Hays’ wedding. Hays, formally known as Pennick, held her wedding April 5 at the Pine Lake Ranch Wedding Venue. There was a variety of adornments made by the advanced floral students. This was the 22nd wedding the floral department has helped adorn. “I knew they did a good job with flowers,” Hays said. “I thought it would be really cool to give students the opportunity to do that.” According to floral teacher Jessica Smith, the students were

prepared and had experience from previous weddings they had worked on. “They collectively have worked on four other weddings,” Smith said. “So I knew that they could do it because they have done it before. It is a process, I walk them through it.” Senior Consuelo Escalante said the project was stressful at times because they only had one week before the deadline. “At times I enjoyed it,” Escalante said. “But other times we did have a deadline, so we had to push with doing some arrangements.” Finishing a large project like Hays’ wedding was senior Savannah Miles’ main concern. After the wedding was over, she felt relieved, Miles added.

“My first thoughts was that it was a lot,” she said. “We did not think we could finish in time, because of how much it was but we did.” Junior Jose Lopez said that the best part of the project was the outcome and reflecting back on all the hard work. “I really liked the outcome because I felt like I really did try my best to make everything look good and presentable,” he said. The floral students who helped out include: Amie Doak, Consuelo Escalante, Jose Lopez, Melissa Mancha, Savannah Miles, Iris Ponce, Nancy Ramirez, Madison Rogers, Angelica Urena, and Georgia Ward.

School remembers NJROTC cadet ANGIE RODRIGUEZ News Editor

Neal Funeral Home TRIBUTE. Sophomore Matthew Kennedy died March 18. He was a member of the NJROTC program and wanted to become a part of the United States Marine Corps.

Two months ago, sophomore Matthew Kennedy died, leaving behind a slew of friends and family to mourn. Kennedy was involved in many organizations at school. He was part of the JROTC program and was in tech theater. He took the advance tech class this year with teacher Charlene Ingle. Ingle talks often about his quirky sense of humor. “There was a flattened out milk duds box he called ‘Bob’,” Ingle said. “He would hide it around the classroom and when I found it I would hide it back. It was silly, but the entire class participated in the game and it lasted almost the entire year until the Bob was accidentally thrown away.” Kennedy was an avid member of JROTC. He would often shine his shoes during tech theater class

to make sure they looked good with his uniform. “This was during the first couple of months so we really hadn’t developed that relaxed of a relationship yet and here was this kid polishing his shoes at his table instead of doing his work,” Ingle said. “It was so funny and peculiar and he was so sincerely concerned about the quality of his shoes, I let him finish. By the end of the first semester there was a group of ROTC kids that would sit together and shine their shoes.” Kennedy was also an employee of the district and worked events in the auditorium afterschool with other students such as junior Ashton Newsome. “There was never a dull moment whether it was singing ‘The best time to wear a striped sweater’ or it was doing LED lights, it was always fun,” Newsome said. “Matthew and I learned the LED board together and one day we

were messing around and figured out how to make a party mode, so we put music on and had a mini party.” Kennedy’s mom, Kristine Kennedy, said he was the same at home as he was at school. “He reminded you of Robin Williams,” Kristine Kennedy said. “He loved to joke and was basically the same at school and home. You never knew when to take him seriously unless you were his mom or dad or brother or sister. A GoFundMe was created March 19 to help with funeral expenses. It has raised a total of $4,630 out of the $10,000 goal as of press time. His memorial service was held March 23 at the New Beginning Baptist Church of Patton Village. Matthew participated with the NJROTC at the various competitions across the state throughout the year.

Band mourns loss of student after hit-and-run GEORGE JUAREZ

Editor-in-chief Freshman Crystal GarciaCamacho rode the late bus home after band practice not knowing it would be her last trip home. Crystal died at the age of 15 on April 4 when she was struck by an SUV after being dropped off the late bus. Her funeral service was held April 10 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. She was a part of the Mighty Panther Band and played the clarinet. The MPB paid a small tribute days after her death, decorating her band locker room with white, yellow flowers and balloons. “She was always a ‘hype girl,’ especially when it was on Friday

night games,” senior and MPB member Yasmin Lopez said. Garcia loved cats and a fan of the “Shrek” movie franchise because of the comedy and jokes. Her plans on graduating after high school was to join the medical field. “She was super sweet, she never had anything negative to say ever,” freshman Jocelyn Arauz said. “Everything was really positive about her.” Garcia was always the person to make others feel a part of the group and bring a smile to their faces with a small joke or conversation. “She had a big heart and she knew how it felt for others to be left out,” freshman Beyda Noyola said.

Her loss left a void to close friends who hung out with her on a daily basis. “I try to take different hallways even though I know I got to walk through that hallway,” Noyola said. “But I feel like if I walk through that hallway, it would only be to walk with her.” She is survived by her mother Beatriz, father Miguel, brother Tito Garcia Jr., uncles Nicolas Garcia and Pedro Mendoza, aunt Carolina Mendoza and cousins Vanesa Garcia, Fernando Mendoza, Yesica Garcia, JoseLuis Garcia and Julie Mendoza. She is preceded in death by her grandfather Tito Garcia and uncle Santos Garcia. The criminal investigation into her death is ongoing.

UIL Academics places 4th at district EMILY OSORIO & TREVIN SIMMONS Contributing Reporters

The UIL Academic team had its mostsuccessful years in many years at the district and regional meets in March and April. The team ended the majority its run at the regional meet at Waller High School in April, with only one student advancing to the state meet. Caney Creek took fourth place as a school out of 10 in the UIL district. “It’s really impressive considering last year we were if not dead last, close to it,” UIL Academic coordinator Stephen Green said. “A lot of that came from our subjective tests, which make up a lot of our points we got. However, every coach and team made significant progress from years past, which is the most important thing.” Montgomery and Lake Creek high schools took the top two spots as a school, with Tomball coming in third. Junior Jose Solis took second place at district and regional levels in persuasive speaking and is going on to compete at state competition. He also placed third in current issues and events at the district level. At the district level the team had several district champions including: Senior Jonathan Ponce, district champion in Lincoln Douglas debate; sophomore Kayla Ramirez, district champion in persuasive speaking; senior Emily Fisher got the top score in biology. Junior Angie

Rodriguez competed in copy editing and feature writing, placing first and third respectively. “I think that all the kids have something to be proud of,” said Green, who coaches journalism, current events, and speech and debate. “We haven’t showed up like this in years. We didn’t go into district with the expectation that everybody to win everything this year, but we hope in a couple of years we are the school to beat.” He said it is going to take dedicated students and coaches for the program to grow. “These events are sports of the mind,” Green said. “You have to recruit, practice, learn and develop strategies like anything else. Once we get really good at that part, you will start to see more success.” English teacher Jeff Matthews coaches ready writing and spelling, which earned two medals this year from Taylor Haney – fifth in ready writing – and senior Alex Bright – sixth in spelling. Haney also took sixth in social studies. “For ready writing, we brainstormed topics that could fit older prompts, and studied the structure of the essay,” he said. “For spelling/vocabulary, my kids reviewed the massive ‘word power’ list of potential words they could be asked to spell.” The teams competed at district March 27 at Willis High School and had five students advance to regionals in seven events.

Solis to compete at state speech meet ROBERTO GARCIA & BETHANY BARNES Contributing Reporters

Junior Jose Solis will head to the state speech and debate tournament next week after qualifying in persuasive speaking at the regional meet April 13. This makes him the first person to qualify since Laura Coleman in 2014. Solis will be competing at the University of Texas at Austin campus May 29-30. “It feels great,” Solis said. “It feels that all my hard work and dedication I’ve been putting throughout the year has paid off.” Solis has been on the debate team since his freshman year. He has been competing in persuasive speaking for the past two years. He has stayed after school almost every day to prepare for state. “Freshman year I didn’t compete in the event (persuasive speaking),” Solis said. “Sophomore year I made it all the way to regionals, I got first place at district and now I finally get to go to state.” Solis only competed in LD debate his freshman year, but then jumped into

persuasive speaking after “consistent pestering” from his coaches. “My coaches threw me into this event two years ago,” Solis said. “Ever since, I’ve just had a passion for the event, so now it’s just become my thing.” Students have 30 minutes to write a seven-minute speech. They must deliver the speech in a persuasive way on current event topics. During invitational meets, Solis takes his time to make new friends with his opponents. “I feel that making contacts at state will help me get better involved with people who know what they’re doing and then in the future they’ll help me out,” Solis said. Solis said he sometimes finds himself overly confident during some competitions, and is often disappointed with himself as a result. “I think that was the biggest struggle we’ve had on the team, not only with me,” Solis said. “We get a little confident that our hard work will pay off in the end, but sometimes that may or may not happen.”

District should shorten walk times from satellite stops to reduce risk When walking home, avoiding the road is the numberone precaution. Sometimes even walking in ditches when the weather permits it, unfortunately, that does not always prevent a tragedy. On April 4, freshman Crystal Garcia-Camacho got off her satellite stop and walked through the ditch to avoid cars, but was still struck and killed. This was a devastating blow to an already mourning student body. To prevent another tragedy like this from happening, the district needs to make these late buses more like normal bus routes. By cutting walk time, it reduces the time a student is put at risk. There are eight late buses, each have different stops and always a

different amount of kids. These it is almost dark by the time satellite stops are not intended students have to walk home and to be within a short walk to each is the most difficult time for student’s home, but more of a people to see. This puts many central place where students at risk, parents may pick as they have to go up their children “To prevent another through between without having to tragedy like this from a 30-minute to a drive all the way to two-hour walk campus, according happening, the dishome. The district to a statement said it will be trict needs to make the district sent reviewing late these late buses out after Garcia’s bus stops over the more like normal bus summer. death. However, routes.” many students A major issue are required to is cost, due to walk home since the extended parents are not time and more able to make the trip, walking bus routes. Drivers for buses on dangerous roads that have no are in short supply, using more shoulders. drivers who already have runs During the winter season, before is an option, such as

those who drive elementary students. The district should look for the most affordable, but safe option. Increasing the drive time for more drivers could cost money, but would decrease the risk for students that stay after school. Regardless, money is less important than our lives. This is something the district is just going to have to address, especially in the Caney Creek feeder zone that is the largest in Conroe ISD. On the district website one of the first things you read is “All means ALL.” Cutting walking time for students will decrease the risk of another accident. We cannot prevent every tragedy, but we can learn from the ones that have happened.

Boys soccer, Student Council selected best of the year Every year new challenges are set and organizations set the bar high for others to achieve similar goals. Representing our school with honor, courage and pride. The Prowler would like recognized student council and the boys soccer team as club and sports team, respectively, of the year due to their major accomplishments through the course of the school year. Student Council has completed many projects throughout the year, providing school spirit and working on ways to help out the community. Earlier in the school year, StuCo partnered with Communities In Schools to host Creek Cares. Creek Cares was a donation drive event and StuCo offered every club and organization at the school to

help donate hygiene items to then pack the items together afterschool. In addition, StuCo partnered up with Moorhead Junior High School’s StuCo. At a basketball game, they used recycled bottles and filled them up with Beads, streamers, glitter, trinkets to get fans to make some noise. During teacher appreciation week, members knocked on every teacher’s door with a snack cart and decorated the teacher’s lounge to express gratitude. Although StuCo holds biweekly club meetings, members stay afterschool multiple times of the week to work. It is for these above-and-beyond efforts that Student Council and its sponsors Sarah Dudley and Tracy Underwood earned Club of the Year for 2018-2019 school year.

We also want to give an honorable mention to debate and Key Club for their efforts. The boys soccer team earned their first district championship for the first time in program history. It is also the first time for a sports team to win it since 2001. Reaching the second-round of playoffs against Marble Falls, only losing to the match in a penalty shootout. Finishing the district season 13-1-2 and the overall season 20-4-2. In District 20-5A, junior Joaquin Rodriguez was selected as the Midfielder Most Valuable Player, junior Jair Lopez was the Defensive Most Valuable Player and senior George Juarez was selected as the Goalkeeper of the Year. Head coach Andrew McGregor earned Coach of the Year. The Panthers earned four

out of seven possible individual awards. In addition, the district champions had five first-team selections: Senior Marcos Benitez, junior Ulysses Cruz, junior Mario Rangel, sophomore Joao Marchese and junior Leodan Pacheco. Second-team selection players include: sophomores Brayan Torres and Uvaldo Lozano, senior Abel Castillo and junior Roman Gomez. Honorable mentions were sophomores Jessie Perez and Jorge Jaimes, as well as senior Franklin Lopez. Boys soccer earned The Prowler Sports Team of the Year. We also want to give an honorable mention to the wrestling team for its efforts and success at state as well.

Alumna works for nonprofit organization

ANGIE RODRIGUEZ

News Editor Working for a nonprofit organization is not a normal path a high school student pursues. Even if they do, many students do not follow the idea through college. However, alumna Liz Denson has found her way into helping others. Liz Denson is the Vice President of Community Engagement at Early Connections Learning Centers. She works with 700 children everyday, ages 6 weeks to 14 years old, to help them receive an early education. “Child care is an essential need for working families,” Denson said. “Without child care, parents can’t work or go to school. The services we provide go above just providing child care, we provide the highest quality early education for children, including health, nutrition, mental health and family supports. The better I am at my job, the more we can

do for those children and families to help them better their own lives.” She first started working for a non profit organization after she graduated from Texas Tech University. After that job she moved to Albuquerque, NM and started working in the marketing department in the Colorado Springs Gazette newspaper company. “Fundraising skill and a passion for supporting nonprofits grew from that work and I was fortunate to be invited to work for the organization I now work for that has a mission I am passionate about,” Denson said. “I’ve worked for large corporations and small businesses, but working for a nonprofit organization that has a mission I care about is so rewarding. I am driven by the children and families we see every day in classrooms right outside my office doors.”

3 earn awards at state Skills USA Cosmetology ALEXIUS ROCHA Staff Reporter

Cosmetology competed in the SkillsUSA state mannequin competition April 3 at Corpus Christi for the first time in program history. The class had three come in first place who include: Kathia Martinez, Rosbelia Rodriguez and Edith Hernandez. Yesica Cortez-Rodriguez, Emily Urieta and Maria Uscanga got exceptional ratings as well. “The students nor myself did not know what to expect for our first time,” cosmetology teacher Kendria Monroe said. “Going in blindly and seeing how much more we can achieve after that I think really made all of us feel good.” Martinez said she worked very hard to get first place, and challenges were faced during competition. “It had been mine and my classmates first year participating in the program,” Martinez said. “The biggest challenge I faced in the SkillsUSA was probably not having as much as experience as the other competitors, but overall the competition was great.” This was Rodriguez’s first time competing and said Monroe’s support was helpful. “She made sure I always did things right,” Rodriguez said. “With this being our first year involved in Skills USA as a school, it was a challenge for her as a teacher and for us as students, but she did an amazing job at keeping us motivated and focused. She taught us well and all that support pushed me to achieve for first place.”

This is the second year the cosmetology program has been in existence at school and first time participating in competitions. “My students worked really hard for the place they got,” Monroe said. “Seeing them work really hard and being motivated was really great for me. It also made me feel great as someone who taught them what they know.”

@CCHSConTech | Twitter COSMO. Yesica Cortez-Rodriguez, Emily Urieta and Maria Uscanga got exceptional ratings and Edith Hernandez, Rosbelia Rodriguez and Kathia Martinez qualified to state for cosmetology SkillsUSA.

Denson graduated in 2000, the second graduating class of CCHS. She was involved in many extra-curricular activities including: Starlettes, Theater, Culture Club (French Club), Debate Team and National Honor Society. “Liz was the kind of student every teacher loves to have in class, she was hard working, respectful, funny and always participated in discussions,” said associate principal William Kelly, who was her debate and English teacher at the time. “As her debate coach, I was privileged to spend many weekends and hundreds of hours together with Liz at tournaments, and I will always remember watching her develop confidence as a speaker and a leader for the team.” Early Connections Learning Centers was founded in Colorado Springs in 1897 and is celebrating 122 years of service this year. Denson was a recipient for the 2019 Rising Star award in the Colorado Springs Business Journal, weekly business periodical.

GSA to make return after 2-year absence YESICA CORTEZ-RODRIGUEZ & JAZILYN MURRAY

Contributing Reporters The Gay-Straight Alliance club will be making a comeback next year, after abruptly ending two years ago. The club and their sponsors, AP european history teacher Elaine Wix and economics teacher Heather Camp Lopes seek to provide an open family space where students are comfortable being who they are and feel welcomed by everyone. Their goal: Show students support related toward their sexual orientation, gender identity and ways of expression. “It’s a club to support the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or the people who are in questioning,” Wix said. “They are a community service organization, focusing on teen charities and anti-bullying initiatives.” While GSA clubs have traditionally served as safe spaces for LGBTQ+ youth to build awareness and community, as well as prevent discrimination

and harassment in schools. “Trans and queer youth are building their power through organizing and connecting to state and national campaigns on many issues that affect all students across the country,” Wix said. There are three typical functions of a GSA club: Support, social, and activist. Students will decide how the CCHS version of the club functions. In the club they talk about their issues towards their gender identity, and before the club ended two years ago, they had events to help out other LGBTQ+ youth, one of them being a clothing-food drive to help support the community. Journalism teacher Stephen Green has helped with the club in the past. “I want the kids to feel that they have a safe space and to be themselves,” Green said. “Sometimes that is more helpful than anything else for queer youth.” GSA had one meeting this year but will start meeting regularly starting in 2019-2020.

Family Day responds to tragic events JACKIE BAHENA & MAYRA TORRES Contributing Reporters

Caney Creek administration decided to hold a “Family Day” to bring students together after a series of tragic events April 12. Students were encouraged to wear red to symbolize the unity of Caney Creek as a “family.” Other schools in the district such as Grangerland, Austin Elementary, Moorhead and Conroe High School supported the event. “The purpose for family day was to try to unite the community after all the events that have taken place and take a step back and be thankful for family and friends,” math teacher Sophia Meza said. There were more than 520 students and faculty members across the district that wore red in support of Family Day. “I went to my closet and got all the red shirts I could find so I can take a family picture with all my classes,” Meza said. “I liked it, I think in the future we can do it again all planned out, all organized.” Senior Peyton Moore said that participating in the event was the least she could do to spread awareness. “A lot of my friends participated, at least one person in each of my classes had wore red,” Moore said. “I may not have been best friends with everyone who was lost, but I grew up with some of them and

not being able to continue to see them grow really took a toll on me mentally.” This year was the first year Family Day was introduced, but due to the turnout of participants, some students are asking for more. “I think that even though it was a response to all the recent loss at our school, I think that Caney Creek should continue to hold a Family Day just to give the students a day to breathe and enjoy their life and to bring awareness to the importance of mental stability in high school,” Moore said.

Senior drives everyday from Atascocita to campus ANNALI WARD

Two years ago, Rodriguez moved to Atascocita, but still attends Caney Creek High School. Driving a minimum of 40 minutes and waking up at 4:30 a.m. everyday just to go to school. Rodriguez said that he doesn’t want to move schools because starting over, when he has already established himself, was not something he wanted to do. “I have already went here my freshman and sophomore year,” Rodriguez said. “I wanted to finish with the people I knew instead of starting over again.” As a kid, Rodriguez has relocated many times and wanted to just stay put at school.

HOSA blood drive raises 161 units OMAR PEREZ & JAELEI SHAW Contributing Reporters

HOSA hosted a blood drive with the help of MD Anderson Cancer Center on Thursday, May 2 in the small gym. The purpose of the blood drive was to help people with cancer that needed a blood transfusion who weren’t sufficient than others. The blood drive successfully raised 161 units of blood. “Caney Creek did a great job in giving of themselves to save a life,” sponsor Bobbi Hatzold said. “I feel it was successful overall.” Junior Crystal Wilkerson said she was motivated to donate blood because her sister Destini Jacobs was diagnosed with cancer. She was also close with junior Layne Rogers, who succumbed to cancer earlier this year. “Well for Layne Rogers, he passed away (and) was one of my best friends,” she said. “When I knew about his blood drive, I donated. I know a lot of people who has cancer or had passed away. I just don’t like to see that.

I feel like you can literally save three lives just from a little bit of blood.” Students were able to register during all lunches. The day of the drive, nurses made sure to check students’ medical history and an a ID to proceed if they were 17 years or older. Meanwhile, other nurses prepared to withdraw blood from their forearm. “It doesn’t hurt if you expected it,” Wilkerson said. “I was scared my first time [Rogers blood drive]. I said that wasn’t nothing, I could do that again, wasn’t that bad.” Students were able to donate enough blood to save roughly 483 lives. “I feel good that they received blood,” sophomore Andrea Perez said. “Everyone deserves a second chance and receiving blood is like a second chance of life.” This is the second blood drive hosted by HOSA since September when it partnered with Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center in honor of Rodgers.

Analysis: Caney Creek, Conroe lead voting percentage against bond Majority of the bond funds would have gone toward growth and sustainability projects and the construction of four new district schools, two of which were going to be constructed within the Caney Creek feeder zone. Results from the election showed areas that voted more tended to vote in favor of the bond. The Woodlands and Oak Ridge areas had generally higher turnouts and were most of the “for” votes, whereas Conroe and Caney Creek feeder zones

generally turned out the least, but made up the most of the “against” votes. Two groups – the Montgomery County Tea Party and the Texas Patriots Tea Party PAC – as well as other groups made recommendations or advocated against the bond. Other groups, including the Community for Conroe ISD’s Future, pushed in favor of the bond including yard signs and mailers.

Softball hopeful for next year after winnless season

ALEXIUS ROCHA Staff Reporter

After a winningless district season, players and coaches see the positive aspect and look forward to changing results. “This season was a really tough one for us,” sophomore Chloie Pollard said. “I really hope we play tougher and harder next season.’’ The softball team finished its season 0-15, ending the season against Montgomery at home with a 7-1 loss. “Practices were always a fun environment,” senior Blakely Niles said. Head coach Joshua Culp likes to push his team enough to get motivated, but likes to learn about his team at the same time. “I’m not the kind of coach that’s going to be in your face yelling at you all the time,” Culp said. “I take my time to try and learn my athletes, you got to really try and get to know what makes them tick and I believe that really helps us have a better relationship with each other.” Many of the girls worked hard everyday

in practice and pushed themselves to extreme limits to grow as players. Coach Culp does his best not to put too much pressure on his team, as he aims for a fun, competitive environment. In the process, making memories. “As a program we went to Top Golf,” Culp said “We were able to kind of get away from softball and school and everything else just to be able to go out and have a good time with each other and grow a pretty good bond.” The softball team worked on what they can improve independently, as well as cohesively. “I really pushed myself to try and win every competition we had.” Niles said. This season didn’t go as planned. Ideas to improve next year are already in the players’ mindsets. “Next year I hope to overcome my fear of diving in the outfield,” sophomore Chloie Pollard said. Last season, the team finished 4-10 in district, three spots from clinching playoffs.

The baseball team was one game away from qualifying for playoffs, finishing 7-11 in district. For the past two seasons in a row, the panthers have been off by one game to make it to playoffs. Last season, the overall record was 12-12 and its district record was 6-9. This year its overall record was 11-12. According to assistant coach Kristopher Carroll, the team faced some ups and downs during the season. “We need to improve on hitting the ball,” sophomore Alejandro Molina said. “That was the main thing this season that we struggled on.” Stephanie Gallick | The Prowler Other factors that added to the PITCHER.

shortage of players on the field. “We started being selfish and not playing as a team and making (it) about ourselves individually,” junior Nick Richards said. Junior Isaac Cantu said that the team had a fair chance at making playoffs if the players kept their head in the game. “I think we were more than good enough to make playoffs this year,” Cantu said. “This year we actually should have, but what would happen a lot is we would play at the other teams’ level. We weren’t in the game from start to finish mentally.” Cantu also said that the team had trouble persevering through ‘mess ups.’ “When one person would mess up it would affect the whole team,” Cantu said. “Instead of us fighting through it

went downhill from there.” The last game of the year, which was against Willis, was dedicated to their former teammates, Layne Rodgers and Dustin Gerke. “It was emotional, not just because of the memorial, but because of all the seniors too it being their last high school game ever,” Cantu said. “I’ve played 3 years of baseball with them, we’ve been through a lot. Those guys are my best friends so it’s hard to see them go, it definitely won’t be the same next year without them.” The booster club designed a shirt that honored Rodgers and Gerke. A ceremony was held where Rodgers’ mother, LeeAnn Perry, said a few words.

Athletic director bids farewell

Svendsen leaves for coaching job in home town after 4 years MARIO RANGEL Staff Reporter

Athletic director an head football coach Steve Svendsen is leaving for home. After five years at Caney Creek, Svendsen will continue his career at Stevens High School located in his hometown Rapid City, South Dakota. The calling of home came and Svendsen is looking forward to the challenge of turning around the Stevens Raiders team that went 1-8 last season. “I felt it was a good opportunity to get a chance to build that thing up,” Svendsen told the Houston Chronicle. The Prowler was unable to get in touch with Svendsen for this article before deadline. Svendsen came to campus prior to the 2015 season and during his time here, the team went 6-33. “I love the kids,” Svendsen told the Houston Chronicle about his time at the school. “It’s a good bunch of kids that have worked hard and given us everything that we’ve asked for. They’ve played to the best of their ability. My coaching staff has done an outstanding job. A great bunch of coaches that we’ve brought in. I can’t say thank you enough to those guys.” Athletic secretary Linda Crawford said Svendson kept up to date with her, all the coaches, and his athletes. “If I needed anything, he was

right there,” Crawford said. “If the coaches needed anything, he was right there. If the kids needed anything, he was right there.” There was a reaction of disbelief from some players, after Svendsen’s tenure seemed like forever, according to junior and football player Jonathan Reyes. “At first I was surprised because he has been here so long,” Reyes said. “So you would think he would be the last guy to leave.” Reyes said he enjoyed Svendsen’s coaching style and religious advice. Svendsen was also an adviser of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Christian Student Union. “I liked how he used Bible codes and how he would compare football with them,” Reyes said. “He always wanted us to do the right thing and would give us advice.” Svendsen has coached for four different institution in Texas. From 1988 through 1992, he was on staff at the University of Houston. Svendsen’s second stint in Texas was when he came to Magnolia as an assistant coach in 2007 before heading back north to in 2010. Svendsen returned to Texas in 2014 on the staff at Oak Ridge for one season before taking over at Caney Creek. “It’s pretty sad news,” Gomez said. “I hope he is successful wherever he goes. I’m going to miss him. He earned a spot in my heart.”

Basketball offers youth league to foster early development YAMILETH MALDONADO Sports Editor

Head basketball coach Randy Appiah takes initiative to introduce youth basketball league to the Creek area. When Appiah accepted the head boys basketball coach position in May 2017, one of his main objectives was to start a Youth Basketball Program for the community. “I was told and observed that kids in the community had nowhere to play basketball,” Appiah said. “There were no youth leagues available at all in this area.” Being able to communicate and build relationships with the principals and P.E. teachers at feeder schools, he introduced the concept to them and their students in the fall 2017. It’s been a huge success, he said. The basketball league is on the road to a third year of action after finishing their second years spring season in May. “It’s very important in building a successful high school basketball program to provide unlimited opportunities for our youth to

play, practice, learn, compete, and have fun playing basketball,” Appiah said. Schools including Grangerland Intermediate, Milam, Creighton, San Jacinto and Austin Elementary schools are involved having their firstthrough sixth-grade students participating with a charge of $70 per student. On Tuesday nights the students practice from 6 to 8 p.m. providing them with time to learn with their teacher in the gym later that week having game days on Saturday mornings and afternoons. Many people from the community can volunteer and be involved. The program has employees from campuses working the scoreboard and officiating, parents coaching the teams, coaching staff overseeing and helping with practices and high school athletes supporting at games. “It was cool teaching the kids about basketball,” Creek basketball player Raymon Shaw said. “I wish I was more teams and more game so we can spend time with the team.”

Boys soccer looks to become team to beat in future seasons YAMILETH MALDONADO Sports Editor

The boys soccer team is looking for district championships and deep dives into playoffs after another successful season. Head coach Andrew McGregor said every year the team is building, so their expectations aren’t just to make it to the playoffs. “We’re trying to win district championships and try to make it several rounds deep into playoffs, that’s our goal,” he said. “I think that’s where we’re heading because we’ve just consistently been getting better from year to year.” The team ended the year with McGregor earning the Coach of the Year distinction, the team having five first team selections and three district Most Valuable Player awards. The five first-team selections where Senior Marcos Benitez, junior Ulysses Cruz, junior Mario Rangel, sophomore Joao Marchese and junior Leodan Pacheco. The second-teamers include: sophomores Brayan Torres and Uvaldo Lozano, senior Abel Castillo and junior Roman Gomez. Honorable mentions were senior Franklin Lopez, and sophomores Jessie Perez and Jorge Jaimes. Rodriguez earned Midfield MVP while junior Jair Lopez earned Defensive MVP. Senior George Juarez earned Goalkeeper MVP, with over all the season had 18 clean sheets in total,and a goalkeeper save percentage during district play under 0.8 goals per game. After earning first ever district championship boys soccer attended the first and second round of playoffs. The varsity soccer team won its first playoff round against Waller by a score of 2-0. Later on advancing to second playoff round and losing against Marble

Same style of soccer, same brand of soccer.” Top scorer Cruz scored one of the two goals against Marble Falls finishing the season with a 14 goals while top assister Joaquin Rodriguez scored the other from the penalty spot. “I was proud of scoring the goal for my team,” Rodriguez said. “Once the referee said it was a penalty, I knew I had to step up and take it since i’m the team’s penalty taker.” After the second goal the team struggled with injuries, having hurt players others stepped up and continue to play at the end of over time. “That’s the first time they’ve been in over time situation playing up to 100 minutes of soccer so the kids responded the right way,” McGregor said. Senior Abel Castillo said without those who stepped up, things would have been harder. “I’m just really glad that they did good I mean you have to start from somewhere and having to step up is a really big responsibility and I’m glad they did,” Castillo said. The team will have nine faces leaving the pitch, seven seniors leaving and two sophomores going to the dynamo academy. “We’re losing quite a few people, but then again there’s this group of kids that have a lot of experience at a young age playing varsity soccer which is promising next year,” McGregor said.
