The 8th grade RHMS bobcats traveled to Hidalgo and sailed past the pirates with a score of 31-0. Offensive players of the game were the offensive line who paved the way for the Bobcats. The defensive players of the game were the impressive defensive line who rattled the Pirates. Come out to our last home game of the season this Tuesday, October 18th for parents' night. Hope to see everyone there!

"We all get report cards in many different ways, but the real excitement of what you're doing is in the doing of it. It's not what you're gonna get in the end--it's not the final curtain--it's really in the doing it, and loving what you're doing." @RalphLauren
