Local Oilfield Companies Raise $1,200 for Back to School Supplies for Sundown ISD Students
On Saturday, July 30th, a group of "roughnecks" competed in a brisket and rib smoke off! Oilfield companies from Falcon Energy Services, Graco, Maxpsi, Sundown Tubing Testing, R7 Wireline, Key Energy, Valor and Oxy put their smoking skills to the test as they competed for the honor of the Inaugural brisket and rib smoke off! Competitors began smoking their ribs and brisket on Friday night, and turned in their best on Saturday morning at 11 AM. 3 members of Sundown ISD were asked to judge and rank the ribs and brisket. "We know how tough it can be for families to come up with money for school supplies, so we wanted to help out. Hopefully we can do this again next year, and make it bigger and better with more companies involved so that we can donate more money to the school" stated Ramon Rodriguez. Danny Randolph was the overall champion placing 1st in both ribs and brisket! His ribs and brisket were absolutely amazing, but even more amazing was his generosity as he unselfishly donated his $600 prize money back to the school to help with school supplies! What a great gesture from a very generous man. In total, the brisket & rib smoke off donations totaled $1,200 to Sundown ISD.

Please help us to congratulate Elizabeth Corley on her State Championship Outstanding Performance at the UIL State Solo and Ensemble Competition in the Vocal Solo Contest. If you will recall, Elizabeth was the "X Factor" in our Marching show this past fall with her beautiful solo that always brought chills down our spine with her singing during the halftime show on Friday nights!
Of the approximately 100,000 students participating in the regional UIL music contests and the thousands of musicians who performed at TSSEC, only 2-3% of the solo performances earned the distinguished honor of being recognized as an OUTSTANDING PERFORMER! This achievement is truly a mark of musical excellence!
Please join us in congratulating Lizzie Corley for a job well done!

Through academics, these ladies continue to show what it means to have Sundown HEART, to be Sundown STRONG, and to have Sundown HEART! We are so proud of each of you and wish you the very best as you move on from Sundown High School!
