This past week, both Jr High and Sr High Magazine track teams hit the ground running. On Tuesday, April 6, the Jr Rattlers and Lady Rattlers were up first to compete in the Waldron Jr Bulldog Relays. With nearly 30 other schools competing against them, they weren’t too shabby holding their own against much bigger schools. “We only brought partial squads to each meet,” explained Coach Randy Bryan. “Half of my junior high teams are 7th graders and had competed hard the night before. During Monday’s 7th Grade meet, ChaKong Yang won shot put and Callie Nicholas took 2nd in Long Jump and the 1600m Dash.”

On Thursday, April 8, it was the Sr High’s turn as Magazine headed back to Waldron to compete in the Gaile Hainley Relays. “Most of my senior high participate in other spring sports leaving Carlee Parrish as my only scorer at the Gaile Hainley Relays. I’m very pleased with our progress. What we lack in depth, we make up for in hard work and heart. It’s the Rattler way! We only have two freshmen meaning almost all athletes are rookies to the sport due to Covid last year. Being in a conference with legendary coaches like John Mackey at Mansfield and Keith Willsey at Acorn means my athletes will have to learn quickly and work hard to compete at the conference championships. I look forward to the challenge. My kids will be ready!”
