Blue Jay Corner

Softball or Baseball?

I sent out an email to all first hour teachers asking

them to take a poll of all the students asking how many
girls and how many boys would play softball/baseball if
offered here at Rock Port High School. Although there
are some people who may have been sick or on work release, its nearly impossible to ask everyone within the
whole 7-12 grade. With the teachers who replied back
and took the poll, we got that 29 girls would play softball
if RPHS offered it, and 25 boys would play baseball.
Baseball

Winter sports are underway. If you havent

had the chance to catch the Blue Jays in
action, please join them for an event home
or away or come to the school for a pep
rally. Pictures clockwise from right: Abbie Hale, sophomore, cheers on the Jays.
Junior Cortney LaHue looks for an open
teammate. Junior Trenton Oswald works
for a pin. Sophomores Caden Linthicum
and Jase Hughes call out their guards on
defense. Catyn Chamberlain entertains
the student body with a dance team routine at the pep rally December 11.
