JH Volleyball begins

Come out tonight (Sept 3) to the Veribest Gym and support the Junior High girls in their first volleyball game. They will take on the Miles Bulldogs beginning at 5:30.

Lady Falcon Volleyball

The Lady Falcons traveled to Colorado City and faced off against the Lady Wolves. Although they lost in 3 (25-15, 25-20, 25-12), there were some bright spots in the match for the Lady Falcons. Haley Humble and Katie Lankford had a few aces each. Haley, Katie and Megan Aldrich each had a kill.

Falcons fall to Longhorns

Veribest traveled to Buena Vista on August 28. Although they lost to the Longhorns, the boys played hard and learned some valuable lessons from the game.

2009-2010 Veribest Athletics

We are starting the Football and Volleyball seasons for the new school year. In football we have 24 boys suiting up and will be fielding JV and Varsity teams. All the boys are excited to play. On Friday, August 28 we will go on the road to take on Buena Vista. It should be an exciting game.

Volleyball also has JV and Varsity teams. They took on Cornerstone Christian School last night and unfortunately both squads lost, but all the girls played hard and are improving.

Junior High Athletics started on Monday and their first games will be in a couple of weeks.

The coaches for this season are:

Jim Holloway, Daniel Whetsel, Denver Bilyeu, Mary Corely and James Peralta. Please give them a warm Veribest welcome when you see them both on the athletic playing field and in the classroom.

Honoring those who deserve the Credit!

Heading into the final days of school, we would like to honor a few deserving people.Thank you to the administration for your support throughout the year, particularly Mr. Steck and Mr. Newman. Thank you to the school board for your guidance. Thank you to Bud Hunt for always making sure we had transportation to our events. Thank you to the teachers and faculty for working with the student-athletes and attending games. A special thank you goes to those teachers who consistently came to games because they wanted to, not because they had to.

Thank you to the fans and the parents for supporting the athletes and the school. Thank you to the booster club for everything you do- Our athletes and coaches are grateful for all of your work done on their behalf. Coach Nason would like to say thank you to Trish Aldridge, the booster club president, who worked tirelessly throughout the year to provide assistance to the program. You are a true friend to the coaches and to the athletes. Your leadership will be missed!

Thank you to Beth Buck for writing the VIP. Finally, thank you to the most important asset, the student-athletes, for their participation in a program that is getting better and better each year.
Together, we are building tradition, one win at a time!

Among the recipients, senior Chris Buck was awarded the Booster Club scholarship in the amount of 1,500.00. Senior Laureano Sanchez and junior Haley Humble were honored with the Falcon Fighting Heart awards. This honor is given to the two athletes who best represent the overall ideas of athletics on or off the court/field. Sanchez was honored for his work ethic and attitude, while Humble was recognized for dedication and incredible improvement from last year. Marcus Johansson was also honored by the crowd for his run to the state finals in tennis. A banner will be placed in the gym to recognize Johnansson's success.

Thanks to the efforts of the Booster Club, this year's banquet was a great success. Congratulations to all of the coaches, parents. and athletes for a job well done.

Johansson Swings Through Regionals, Earns a Trip to State

Marcus Johansson will carry the hopes of the Veribest community with him as he prepares for the State tennis tournament in Austin beginning on May 11th. He earned the trip thanks to sweeping through his competition in straight sets at the Regional tournament that ended earlier today. Johansson faced the number one regional seed for Valley in the finals, but easily defeated him in straight sets.

Johansson is the first male player from Veribest to reach the state finals in any sport. Congratulations and good luck to Marcus!
