She lets the other team have it and as a senior, and in this forum I am going to do what I would always do for our students and student athletes, as our former Assistant Superintendent Lalo Treviño remembers, I would tell our seniors, especially our at-risk seniors after we had helped them get over that elusive last hurdle, "I'm the first person you're gonna see when you walk off that stage." We have to also thank her and all of our seniors from BOTH schools, for their dedication to our athletic programs.
I give you Eagle Pass Lady Eagle Middle Hitter Miranda Bermea.
First of all congratulations for being selected Player Of The Week by your Coach. What can you tell our readers about last week's game and your performance?
This game meant everything to each and everyone of us. This games outcome would determine if all of our hard work and effort would be worth it. As soon as the first serve went over, we knew this would be the best game of our lives. From the first point of the game to the last everyone fought and we showed the crowd and our opposing team what we were all about. The amount of support we had that day was incredible. The rowdiness of the crowd definitely made an impact on our performance.
