Putting helmet stickers on is a must do before the first game. But, more importantly, having these men alongside these players is everything. Thank you Dads, Grandfathers, Uncles, & Brothers. Go Roughnecks! #5-2-1

MORE THAN PLAYING TIME
Sundown Senior Kolt McDaniel may not regularly get the opportunity to contribute on the field, but his contribution to the Roughnecks goes far beyond playing time.
Kolt shows up. He works. He encourages. He leads.
His leadership, work ethic, attitude, and commitment to his teammates are a reminder that being an important part of a team isn't always measured by the number of snaps you play or the statistics beside your name.
During our scrimmage with Friona, Kolt was given an opportunity to step onto the field and score for the Roughnecks. We are incredibly thankful to Friona Head Coach Elias Carrillo and the Friona Chieftains for helping create a moment that meant so much to Kolt, his teammates, coaches, and everyone who had the opportunity to witness it.
Kolt, thank you for continuing to represent what it means to be a Sundown Roughneck. Your impact on this team is bigger than any one play. You my dear Roughneck have Sundown Heart!
Love Others. Work Hard. Embrace Excellence.
Go Roughnecks!

Sundown vs Dimmitt Online Ticket Purchasing Information

First Sundown FCA meeting of the school year. We had pizza, banana pudding (Thanks Toni & Terry Wilson), & Jesus. Awesome night!


SUNDOWN ISD IS GOING CASHLESS FOR GAME ADMISSION!
Beginning this season, Sundown ISD is moving to a cashless ticketing system for admission to our extracurricular events. This change applies ONLY to ticket purchases for admission. Our concession stands will continue to accept cash.
As we considered making this transition, we felt this was the best time to do so because our varsity admission prices have been lowered for this school year.
LAST YEAR → THIS YEAR
Varsity Adult: $5.00 → $4.00
Varsity Student: $3.00 → $2.00
Although HomeTown will add its platform and credit card processing fees to each transaction, we hope the reduction of the ticket price will help offset some of the additional cost associated with purchasing tickets digitally.
More importantly, by limiting the amount of cash being collected and handled at our entrance gates, we can provide a safer and more efficient environment for the staff members designated to work our entrances while also improving accountability for the funds collected at our events.
FOOTBALL PRICES
Varsity Admission | Adults: $4.00 | Students: $2.00
JV/MS Admission | Adults: $2.00 | Students: $1.00
HomeTown adds a $1 platform fee plus a credit card processing fee per ticket.
For example, an adult ticket for a JV game will total $3.40:
$2.00 Ticket + $1.00 Platform Fee + $0.40 CC Processing Fee = $3.40
We understand that purchasing digital tickets will be an adjustment, and we apologize for any inconvenience. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate this new system for the school year.
Admission = Cashless
Concessions = Cash Still Accepted

Raise Your Hand!
7th and 8th grade participated in a fun lab experiment! Mrs. Mesquias is teaching these students to use their critical thinking skills and science brains, and they are loving it!










Dudes With Decals this Thursday following the JV football game...7:30 p.m. We look forward to hosting all of the Dads, Uncles, Brothers, Cousins, etc. that want to come help put the Friday Night decals on our helmets. This isn't just about stickers. It's making a promise to guide, lead, & direct these young men throughout their season. Your support as father figures & role models means everything in their life.

Sundown Elementary Pickup Reminder:
Parents, as the pickup line forms each afternoon, please be mindful not to block the Sundown State Bank drive-through entrance/exit. As you patiently wait, please leave enough space for bank patrons to safely enter and exit.
Thank you for your thoughtfulness and cooperation as we continue working to safely and efficiently dismiss our SES students each day! Hope your child has enjoyed the first 2-weeks as much as we have!

High school lunch without cells phones looks like a couple games of hacky sack, ping pong games, sitting in the tree area talking to friends, and lower library dance parties! Awesome!
