A World of Hues: Young Life Welcomes New Members with Colors Wars

“It was really fun just getting to be messy because I feel like in real life you’re held to a standard to look put together all the time, but you didn’t have to look put together,” sophomore Ali Ibañez said. “You’re just having fun throwing things at each other.”

A Fresh Start: Swim Prepares for Opening Meet

The .swim.dive.booster team begins their season on Sep. 25 at the Round Rock Aquatic Center. This marks the first of 10 meets leading up to the district meet in February.

“I’m super excited for our first meet, and Coach Felix has been doing a great job making sure we’re ready to go,” sophomore William Garrett said. “We’ve been doing a lot of off-the-blocks work, a lot of fast sprint workouts, as well as a lot of long distance work. Coach has been helping out some of the newer swimmers to get their technique right, and for the veterans, he’s just been pushing us harder, making sure we’re ready to go come race day.”

Although Sept. 25 is the first official meet, the team had an intersquad meet at Bella Mar Pool on Aug. 16. This meet was for more fun than competitive purposes, as none of the times were taken into account. The swimmers were divided into two teams: Black and Silver. The coaches picked the races for each swimmer, and winners earned points for their team.

“I thought it was good to get a first meet in to start the season so that we can be prepared for when the actual season starts and for our bigger meets,” sophomore Decker Coffey said. “I think it could help make sure we start the season strong.”

Last year, the team had a strong season with the girls team winning district and placing seventh in state, and the boys placing second in district and third at state.

“We have a whole new set of swimmers that are really contributing to the team dynamic,” senior William Orth said. “We’re showing up every morning and working real hard to get that title.”

Handing Off the Crown: Presenting the Homecoming Court

The Homecoming court will be formally announced during the pep rally at Monroe Stadium Sep. 10. The court was voted upon by peers and will be presented after a kickoff featuring a performance by the Legacies as well as band and Vision..

“I really decided that being a cheerleader really helps with school spirit,” freshman princess Sloan Coleman said. “It really shows everyone how to be a true Viper.”

Students are given a Google Form to nominate people in their grade for prince and princess for freshmen through juniors. Seniors nominated for queen and king are not revealed until the Homecoming game Sep. 12.

“You know, I would just say, first of all, that’s a great thing that you’re freshman prince or princess,” said sophomore Luke Panko, former 2024 freshman prince. “I had a great time with it.”

Members of the court decorate a golf cart, ride on it during the parade, and walk on the field during the pep rally. They get announced again at halftime during the football game this Friday and receive a sash and a crown.

“Being able to decorate the gold carts and throw candy at the kids,” senior Caleb Luong said. “That’s my favorite part.”

This year’s princes and princesses consist of freshmen Coleman and William Nearing, sophomores Maria Silveira and Preston James III, and juniors Brooke Oatman and Kyle Polansky.

“I got to meet a bunch of seniors and juniors and got to go in front of the whole school,” sophomore Lauren Dahl, 2024 freshman princess, said.
