Cuban’s presentation of the rings was delayed because of the NBA lockout, but the ceremony completely captured the essence of the Maverick’s championship win. Dirk Nowitzki, the 10-time All-Star, was the most celebrated member of the team at the ceremony. Head coach Rick Carlisle even noted that a statue who be made in front of the American Airlines Center for…

Lights All Night concert review

Star party proves as a hit among students

By Dyer Whitt Staff Writer Yesterday, the Coppell High School ESS class celebrated their love for astronomy with a party and gathering behind the softball fields. ESS, which stands for Earth, Space, & Science, is a fourth year science class developed by Ms. Binder that focuses on current events and controversies relating to the planet in which we live.

The weather was chilly and most students sported heavily layered clothing or massive blankets to combat the…

Volleyball senior night results in win

By Seth Slover Staff Writer Seniors Bear Bass, Sarah Arnold, Kristen Dickerson and Kierra Holst could not have asked for a better way to end the regular season of their senior year.  By cruising to a relatively easy victory over Denton Guyer, the volleyball team can now look forward to the playoffs.

Community generosity fuels the school year

By Dyer Whitt Staff Writer This summer, Coppell started it’s annual school supplies fundraiser that helps students who need a little extra help with school related items for the 2011-2012 school year.

This has been the third year that Coppell has used the program to give back to the community and help our students have a better school year. Although…

Keller Central “served” by Cowgirls

By Seth Slover Staff Writer A surprisingly small, yet supportive, crowd came out to root on the Coppell volleyball team against the Keller Central Chargers Tuesday night.  It was clear from the very start that the Chargers would be no match for the superior Cowgirls. Game one was kicked off with a run by the Cowgirls right out of the gates, as they jumped out to a 11-4 lead.  Junior Chiaka Ogbogu helped her team out early with contributions around the net.  Coppell’s play was not flawless, however, as poor back row play gave way to a three point run by the Chargers.  A spark such as this one was proof that Coppell was still…

Cowgirls quietly defeat Keller in three games

By Seth Slover Staff Writer The Cowgirl volleyball team hosted the Keller Indians on Tuesday night just after 6:30.  The Cowgirls, from the start, were ready to play.  In a game that was less heavily attended than some previous home games, the home team jumped on the Indians early, maintaining three or four point lead throughout the first game of the match. “One reason we played so smoothly tonight was that we played together from the start.  We got on a pretty good role early,” Junior Jordan Jones said. With a lead that was eventually extended to a 22-13 lead, the Cowgirls rolled on to a victory of the first of what would eventually be…
