During snowstorms, drivers have poor visibility, and frozen roads make it difficult to stay in control. “Driving home from Denver [on Friday], the neighborhoods weren’t plowed. By the time we got back they were only plowing highways. We spun out, nearly got stuck and fishtailed a few different times,” Connor Pugh ‘26 said.](https://rockmediaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Untitled_Artwork-e1732045465987.jpg)

During Senior Night, seniors were given flowers and the opportunity to walk out and take pictures with their family as their future plans and favorite memories were announced over the speakers. The Jags tied 0-0, losing the Continental League Championship. “We were obviously the stronger team but just couldn’t find a way to score, but otherwise our connection and our intensity was really high so I’m proud of that. We just have to find the net,” defense midfielder Clara Geuzaine ‘24 said. “[Losing League] wasn’t the best. It’s better than last year and like, I know our team and we are doing really good. I don’t want to jinx it but like hopefully [we’ll do] good [in playoffs].”](https://rockmediaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Copy-of-DSC_4277-1-1200x868.jpg)

Girls and Boys Varsity Basketball Doubleheader Against Mountain Vista
January 27, 2018
The Rock Canyon boys and girls varsity basketball teams played back to back games on Sat., Jan. 27 against Mountain Vista High School at Rock Canyon.
The girls varsity basketball team were defeated 41-63. The Vista girls basketball team gained an early lead and Rock Canyon kept up with their points, but never gained the lead.
“It was a good game,” Izzy Chavez ‘20 said, ‘They played hard, but in the end, Vista won because they’re really good.”
The boys basketball team followed right after and won 68-52. The teams were neck and neck during the first quarter, but then, Rock Canyon pulled ahead and kept the lead for the rest of the game.
“It wasn’t as close as I thought it was going to be,” Elodie Johnson ‘18 said, “We really beat them by a lot. [The beginning] made me unsure for the rest of the game…It made me stressed out, but it also made it more fun because you don’t know what’s going to happen.”
The student section was full of Rock Canyon students cheering and yelling.
“[My favorite parts are] the cheers and everything in between because we are just so loud and the boys are amazing,” Chavez said.
