Braydon also had four 2 point conversions. On the defensive side Ortiz helped stop the run game with 3 total tackles with 2 tackles for loss.


Hector of the Week
JH- Isabella Nevland-Isabella has really grown as a student this year by taking an advanced math class and by excelling in
all of her classes. She has a fun, positive personality. She gets along great with everyone. Isabella works very hard as a
student and as an athlete. She represents our school well whenever she can. We are all proud of Isabella and what she is
accomplishing in Junior High!"
HS -Kree Wallace- He's busy with all of his high school activities, plus college classes, and he still manages to be
pleasant and polite when we see him (which isn't very often, ha!). We appreciate Kree!
Staff - HECTOR of the WEEK: Mrs. Ann Marfil has been an absolute trooper throughout the transition from Goedustar
to Alma, navigating each challenge with patience and determination. Her persistence and problem-solving during this
ongoing process have helped keep things running smoothly for everyone.

Did You Know???????
This year, Las Animas High School is offering an Introduction to Coaching and Officiating class for Juniors and Seniors that is taught by Mr. Cody Hines. Students are learning the fundamentals of coaching, and going through the process of becoming certified officials. This course will provide opportunities for students to officiate recreational sports and possibly work up toward junior high and junior varsity levels. All seven students have passed their baseline courses to become certified coaches and officials! We are continuing to refine our skills through creating practice plans, understanding zones and hand signals, and working on defining sport specific terminology. The course will follow the seasons, so by the end of the year we will have students ready to coach and/or officiate football, volleyball, basketball, wrestling, and baseball.
