For 14 senior Arrows it is hard to believe that it is over. The Golden Arrow football season has come to an end with a playoff game loss to the Conway Christin Eagles. This was not the end that the Arrows had hoped for, but they need to hold their heads high. The Lavaca team has battled hard all season against a ton of adversity. They have battled not only their opponents this year but also, multiple injuries to key players. QB Jimmy Hall, knee and ankle; MLB Trevon More (T-Man),Ankle; RB Tyler Armistead Hip; WR Trey Warner, broken collar bone; WR Colby Clunn, Shoulder; OLBAlex Dugan, Knee; and OL Bailey Vann missed the season with a cancer diagnosis. Despite all of this, these Arrows never gave up. They fought the fight and Battled up.

To the Seniors; Jimmy Hall, Justin Hall, T-Man Moore, Tyler Armistead, Colby Clunn, Mason Walter, Creek Harp, Dillan Ellison, Jonathan Holland, Trey Warner, Trey Castor, Jake Noble, Logan Taylor, Bailey Vann, R-22 News would like to wish these senior Arrows, Godspeed, good luck, and a hearty thank you. You have represented your school and community with a combination of grace and guts. You have inspired the next generation of Arrows. You should be proud and hold your heads up high. We are proud of you! Coach Brian Schlinker added to these sentiments by saying, “I have been so proud of our team. I know our season came to an end before we wanted but we accomplished alot this year. Our team fought all year and never quit. We played some of best football against the best teams in our conference. We were able to overcome the absence of some key players while recovering from injuries. This team has alot to hold its head high about. Cant say enough about our senior leadership. Those guys held this team together through their attitude effort and drive. We had several young guys that played big parts for us as well and I look forward to helping them develop as football players and young men.”
