Welcome to the Horizon! I am looking forward to leading this wonderful team of reporters and editors with Catharine. Outside of the newsroom, you can find me intensely contemplating the daily Semantle while listening to movie soundtracks. Aside from my never-ending (and sometimes fruitless) word-game endeavors, I enjoy scrolling through the New Yorker, perfecting the art of making vegetarian sushi, and learning ice-skating (very painfully) from my friends.

"10-0 in the state finals is unheard of and these kids accomplished it," Head Coach Travis Dalrymple said.

![Hoisting the newest championship trophy addition upwards, head coach Travis Dalrymple and the varsity team look upwards, celebrating their second state title win. Taking on Plano West High School, the Warriors would surge through the morning in a thrilling matchup, clinching a 10-3 victory. "Watching the joy on the kids faces [when] they worked their tails off and to watch it all come together was amazing. I love this school and this program and I want the same for my players and students," Coach Dalrymple said.
