It has been a busy fall for Lamar CISD Athletics. The Foster Falcons claimed the first ever UIL State Championship in Girls Water Polo. The Terry Rangers were victorious in the Battle of the Berg. The Randle Lions racked up their first victories as Varsity teams in Volleyball and Football. Lamar Consolidated Mustang Tennis claimed a playoff victory to go with their new tennis court facility. The Charger Football Team took us on an exciting ride through the program’s longest playoff trek to date. To top it off, the entire George Ranch Cross Country Girls Team will run at the state meet for the first time in school history. But now there is a chill in the air, and everyone is sporting their favorite team hoodie – so it must be time for winter sports! As we turn our attention to our cold weather sports, it’s time to gear up for some rivalries on the hardwood, battles on the mat, duels in the pool, and the original fútbol to take the field. Here at the beginning of the new sport season, I’d like to remind all fans that Good Game

sportsmanship is the expectation for everyone at athletic events in Lamar CISD. When games are close and the crowd gets excited, it is important to remember that education-based athletics teach more than sports. The examples set by our fans in the bleachers help to teach our students to be good citizens on and off the playing field. Even when the game doesn’t go our way, we should show respect towards the officials and our opponents. While we might not always agree with every call, we can all appreciate the effort of every player, coach and official involved. In sports and in life, things won’t always go our way, but each of us can behave with responsibility and respect. We will continue to celebrate the victories, and we will continue to show up and cheer for each other in the post season. Deep down we believe it is a great privilege to play the games we love, and we should always take pride in calling Lamar CISD our home. Nikki Nelson Director of Athletics Lamar Consolidated ISD
