Interesting seniors

2013- The senior class has roughly 700 seniors this year. I decided to pull out the ones that had hidden talents. The ones that were strong-minded, the ones who never gave up, the determined. There are always those people that go beyond what is expected of them. Then there are the people that decide that they aren't going to be a follower and instead become a leader.

Extraordinary. That’s what junior Cassidy Robinson wanted her artwork to say to the judges when she entered the AISD Reflections Art Contest. And in her pursuit for originality and spark, she succeeded in gaining the judges’ attention. Last month, Robinson won first place in the district contest, with her art piece titled “A Music Fantasy”. Each year, all district PTAs in Texas hold the Reflections Contest, a contest created to give students an opportunity to pursue artistic expression through various art forms. These include literature, musical composition, photography, visual arts, dance choreography, and film/video. “I didn’t think I’d placed at all because I didn’t know how many people were entering or the skill level of the people entering,”

Robinson said. This year’s contest theme was “The Magic of A Moment”. Robinson was inspired by this year’s theme to create a piece that encompassed the two things in life she loves the

most: art and music. Her chalk drawing depicts a large hand holding a girl playing the cello. “I really do feel magic when I’m around my instrument and orchestra in general,” Robinson said. “I just forget everything and escape to my own

fantasy.” Her passion for art and music has pushed Robinson into wanting to pursue a career in either field. “I want to be an orchestrator or animator for DreamWorks,” Robinson said. Robinson’s artwork has been sent to Austin, to compete with other Reflections art entries in Texas. The results of the state competition will be released on March 1st. “I’m just hoping for the best,” Robinson said.

Lady Vols post-season comes to a close

Scoring goals for playoffs District playoffs. The varsity girls’ soccer team’s goal has been set and they have all been working hard to reach it. With some of the best preseason wins in four years, they’re not only stating what they want, but also showing us that they can go the distance. “If they play the way I know they can,” Head Coach Jana Hammonds said “we have a definite chance at playoffs.” With a team of only 13 girls, many would underestimate the power and intensity they have, but it has been made clear that they can endure tough games. After the 2-1 win against the Seguin Cougars, the team is pumped up and ready to dominate this season. “The girls are actually showing they want to achieve the goal,” sophomore mid-field player Lizzie Rodriguez said. Intense practices, great teamwork, and pure talent aren’t the only things that make this group of girls so good at what they do. They take care of their responsibilities and do whatever they can to help the team as a whole.

“There is a lot of potential and they had their mind set on achieving their goals,” Rodriguez said. Although there has been a decrease in interest and a loss of players, the veterans and supporters have seen a great improvement in the team’s moral and ferociousness. “We seem stronger and better this year,” sophomore right defensive player Katy Wood said. A problem for the team would be the lack of support from the school. Only a fraction of the stands are full during the games. The team would like for an increase in fans and school interest. “We are looking forward to the season, but we would like stronger support from the school,” Rodriguez said. With eight more games left until playoffs and an overall record of wins, loses and ties at 5-6-1, the team is ready to take on any challenges ahead of them.

Five players bounded up to their coach as soon as time-out was called. The crowd- a sea of white-shirted, roaring fans- filled the stands of the A Gym all the way to the upper decks. The team was frustrated. Not about the game- they would win this January match-up against North Crowley 64-52- but that they couldn’t hear each other over the cacophony in the gym. “It was packed,” girls varsity basketball Coach Kelly Carruthers said. “I would have to say I haven’t see a gym like that in the seven years I’ve been here.” The North Crowley game was one of the last stops on the way to the girls’ phenomenal 29-5 regular season record, and was exactly the atmosphere they needed to prepare for their assured spot in district playoffs. Referring to the overwhelming noise from the stands, Carruthers simply told the team, “Yeah, it’s going to be like that so you guys have to adjust.” And adjust they did. When the team went 14-0 in district playoffs- and became the only team from AISD to walk into the Regionals Tournament with an undefeated record- senior and guard Kayla Brown said that status wasn’t just the result of a talented team.

“We had goals we wanted to accomplish going into district,” the co-captain said. “We wanted to be undefeated, so we worked very hard and practiced everyday.” The Lady Vols conquered

opponents they’d had trouble with in the past, including the Lamar Vikings, who they previously lost to last year. Post Ashley “Ferg” Ferguson said a particularly worrisome moment came in the form of the February 19th game against the Bel Air Highlanders, which the Lady Vols won by a slim 59-53 margin. “I was getting a little nervous,” Ferguson said. “Then coach sat me down, got me back up and I said this can’t be our last game.” Carruthers said she never doubted the girls would make it through the game, and Brown echoed her.

“I kept saying- you can ask them- ‘We aren’t about to lose this game.’” For the last few months, a picture of the state capitol with the words “Road to Austin” written across

it has hung on the wall in the girls’ locker room. Ferguson said its presence was a form of motivation to the team before the Duncanville game. The girls went in with the confidence and the motto that point guard Jazmine Holman said they picked up from Coach Carruthers: “Only the strong survive.” Unfortunately, Friday’s match-up against the Duncanville Panthers- reigning state champions and ranked number one in state- proved to be a tough 61-40 loss, but the girls held their heads high as they wrapped up their season. When asked what she took away from this

year with this team, Carruthers had nothing but compliments for this group of young women. “I’ve learned a lot about these kids. I’ve learned that they have heart. I’ve learned that they are more than just basketball players.” She said the girls’ attitudes toward each other allowed her to bond with them, especially in a year where most of the varsity players are seniors. “This is probably the best year I’ve had with a group of girls. They’re fun, they get along, they’re loving. They care about one another,” Carruthers said.

“We have a great group of girls who always do the right thing and are just as excited as I am,” Hammonds said. As this is Hammonds’ fourth year coaching soccer here, she has an emotional attachment to the seniors, as they were her first group of freshmen. She’s prepped them to be the best they can be for their last season in high school.

“There are seven starting seniors who have been committed for four years,” Hammonds said. The second game of the season against Weatherford ended with yet another win for the Vols with a score of 3-2. This string of wins is only lifting the team’s self-esteem and courage, but they haven’t stopped working yet. Many exercises were used at practice to tackle some of their weak spots during the games. Hammonds is constantly thinking up new ways to advance and heighten the players’ skills, even if they have undeniable talent as it is.

Based on the novel by Isaac Marion, Warm Bodies follows a zombie named “R” who falls in love with a human. The movie makes many references to William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, with an added amount of supernatural and, unlike Twilight, it has some humorous situations. With it being the lovey-dovey time of the year, I think this movie is perfect for couples, but also those who want to see a sweet romantic comedy. The overall theme of the story- that anyone can change for love- has been done before, but not in this unique context. I give this movie an A-, a decent grade for a sappy love story.

Yet another supernatural love story, except this one was definitely my favorite. Based on the novel by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, Beautiful Creatures is a story about a young “caster”, a being with magical powers that resembles a human, who falls in love with a mortal right before her sixteenth birthday. I know, this sounds like it could be another filmmaking fail like the Twilight movies, but the acting and visual aspects of this movie made it one of a kind. Set in a small town in South Carolina, the southern accents had to be on point, and they were. There were great performances from the entire cast, especially from Emma Thompson who played two personalities- a God-fearing, small town mother, and a dark, wicked caster. I give this movie an A, as I wait for the book’s sequels to be made into equally ravishing films.

The beginning of a story that millions already know. Unlike the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, based on the novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum, the story does not follow Dorothy, the farm girl from Kansas; it’s centered around Oscar Diggs, the magician from Kansas and soon-to-be Wizard of Oz played by James Franco. The trailer gives a fantastic look at the graphics and scenery, adding twists and turns that lead us to a newfound evil in Oz. The roles of the witches, played by Mila Kunis, Michelle Williams, and Rachel Weisz, are a perfect mixture of beauty, grace, and mystery. The cast is spot on, setting is imaginative, and the story seems to still be the ageless tale we all know. I give this trailer a B+, hoping the film will live up to the rating.
