At Hagerman High School, teachers give students enough homework to keep us busy.  Mrs. Smith feels, “I don’t give nearly enough homework”. Do you think we need a lot of homework? A lot of students feel they get more than they should. As Jessica DelaCruz says, “if teachers give me homework, I will take it home but I won’t do it if nobody does”.  

Mr.Hestand is the cross country and track coach. The following students are in cross country: Joshua Starkey (sophomore), Alex Veloz (Freshmen), Joaquin Chavarria (Freshmen), Eric Gutierrez (8th Grade), Manuel Aranda (8th grade), Maleka Villa (Freshmen), and Jake Morales (8th grade). Coach Hestand said“my Cross Country team, is doing really good. They’re a really young team that tries really hard. Their times improve every day at practice as well as their meet. I’m very pleased to have each and every one of them. I hope they keep up the good work.”

The Hagerman middle school football team had a great season this year. They are showing evidence of a bright future. Even though they had their ups and downs they came out with five wins and two loses. To quote Mr. Trujillo, “the boys were very excited to be able to produce a good year. Mr. Thompson and I are very proud of the boys and looking forward for next year”.

Girls

The Lady Cats won’t be traveling Albuquerque for state this year. Not because of the lack of effort, but because the lack of height that they needed against the Cliff Cowgirls. The Lady Cats faced the Cowgirls on March 4, 2011 in Cliff, falling to the Cowgirls 57-34. The Lady Cats had a great season. With only 8 girls this year, they played great! Good job Lady Cats.
