Lytle ISD Coach Bryan Bippert challenged his Honors World Geography students with an assignment: Analyze the City of Lytle's website and figure out how applying your geography knowledge could improve it. Whoa! Now that's going to take some higher level thinking...planning...teamwork...speaking...SKILLS! Hear from Coach Bippert's students on how their experience was personal, tough, and especially worthwhile.
The Varsity Football team ended their season last Friday with a loss to the Marion Bulldogs. The final score was 35-6. On the final play of the game, Victor Garcia ran the ball into the end zone for Lytle’s only touchdown. While we did not make the playoffs, the team did improve from last year to this year (0-10 to 4-6).
The girls have had two games so far one with La Vernia where we took a loss to a very good La Vernia squad. It was a great learning experience for the girls and that is the kind of team we would see in the postseason. We faced Poteet this past Saturday and lost to them 53-33. We have a young team including 7 sophomores and they are on the court most of the time. We are working on building the chemistry and finding what each person needs to contribute to the TEAM for us to be successful when we get to district play. I keep telling them It is not where we start it is where you finish that counts. Go Pirates!!!
This past Friday the varsity boys basketball team traveled to Somerset for the first game of the season. With the playoff lost to Somerset last season still fresh on their minds, the boys were counting the days to the season opener for some sweet revenge. From the tip-off, the boys came out hungry and set the tone early by pressing the Bulldogs after every basket. Their relentless play on defense led to a 28-11 lead after the first quarter.
Skull Studios invited News 4/Fox News San Antonio Reporter David Caltabiano to Lytle to meet with students who might be interested in pursuing a career in television news. Mr. Caltabiano shared stories about his high school (it was smaller than Lytle High!) and how he attended a college that was right in his hometown. He worked for a bank before deciding he wanted to get into News Journalism. Even though many thought he was crazy for leaving a great paying banking job, he said he has no regrets and is thankful for his parent's support in making a major change in the middle of his college years.
