Sundown ISD would like to take this opportunity to thank Ms. Brandi Webb for the past 7 years she spent as the HS Cheer Sponsor! She is stepping down, and will serve alongside Mrs. Toni Garcia as a Cheer Sponsor for the Middle School Cheerleaders next school year. We are grateful for the time she served at High School, and we are looking forward to her guidance and leadership at the Middle School. From Mrs. Webb: 7 squads and a lifetime of memories! Roughneck Cheer has been one of the greatest blessings ❤️📣💙 I pray each of these kids can look back with joy and know that their hard work and dedication to promoting SHS made an impact on so many little Roughnecks and our community! From the long hours painting signs, decorating for pep rallies, and traveling all over to cheer on our Roughnecks to the fundraising, bake sales, and learning to give back to others, it’s been an amazing journey!!! Thankful for the opportunity and the blessings of every single moment!!! 📣

He had the support of the best cheering section from Mrs. Bufe and the HS Apollo students, and came up just shy of hitting the big one! He managed to hit the backboard and was awarded another $100 for his attempt! We also had students Grayson Drake, Johnny Acevedo and Robert Soliz treated to court side seats, along with Mr. Griffith! After the game, SHS students were invited out onto the court for a group picture with the mascot! What a great experience for our students! SHS is the BEST! We are SUNDOWN SMART!
