Battle against the bell: keeping tardies to a minimum

By Corrina Taylor Staff Writer The music comes to a stop and the students’ hearts quicken as they realize they have only a minute until class starts – now it is a race against time. As they quicken their pace through the halls, they are fast-walking to their class praying they will not be tardy. As the classroom door comes into sight, the late bell rings throughout the halls, signaling the students’ defeat and their tardiness. As part of a large high school, it is likely that most students will become tardy at least once in the course of their four-year stay at CHS. It is to be expected when a student has to journey…

Pennies For Patients, fights against leukemia one penny at a time

By Corrina Taylor Staff Writer This year Coppell High School partnered with Pennies for Patients to raise money for Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and managed to raise $1360. The point of this fundraiser is to collect as much change as students can offer; they accept all forms of change such as dimes, quarters, and pennies, hence the name “Pennies for Patients”. The three classes that raised the most change were Coach Robertson’s, Coach McBride’s and Mr. Harris’s fourth period classes. These classes earned the traditional pizza party. This year, however, Coppell did not make it as one of the top collectors. But next year, if we manage to raise enough money, our school can win many…

Reck pops back into the picture

By Seth Slover Staff Writer Senior inside linebacker Aaron Reck’s high school football career has been a rollercoaster, to say the least.  With a number of reoccurring knee injuries, Reck has gone through a great deal of adversity to be on the field. Originally, this story was heading in a different direction.  This was going to be a story about Reck’s optimistic attitude amidst the difficult fact that he was not going to be able to play his senior season due to injury.  However, fortunately for Reck, this story – as well as his own – has taken a turn for the better. Just any inside linebacker has, he has endured his share of injuries. …

Coppell vs. Jesuit preview

By Chris Reagan Staff writer The past two games have started a little rough for the Cowboys, falling behind early and having to play catch up. In the second half Coppell has outscored opponents 34-0.
