A slow start cost the Lions Tuesday night as they fell to the No. 20-ranked City View Mustangs, 72-60, in a District 7-3A contest. Vernon rallied and was within 6 points early in the third quarter, but the Mustangs regrouped and regained control of the game. Vernon is now 6-3 in district play, while the Mustangs improve to 6-2. The teams split their two district games. The Lions are open Friday night and return to action next Tuesday when they host Bowie.
Our Lady Lions ran into a roadblock Tuesday night at the City View Gym, as the Lady Mustangs picked up a 53-43 victory that snapped Vernon's 5-game winning streak. The Lady Lions are now 6-5 in District 7-3A and remain in sole possession of third place. City View is 9-1 and in first place. The Lady Lions are open Friday night, and wrap up the regular season at home next Tuesday against Bowie.
Today, Brett White's Government classes went on a field trip and learned about the penal system. The students started at the auditorium where they heard from the Wilbarger County Jail administrator, Sheriff Brian Fritz, and they heard about a day in the life of an inmate from a jail prisoner. They also learned about equipment the sheriff department uses. The students moved on from the auditorium to the county jail, where they received a tour of the facility.
Mr. White wanted to thank Sheriff Brian Fritz, Renee Weaver, the Wilbarger County Jail and the Vernon Police Department for speaking to the Government classes about the penal system, and life as an inmate, as well as giving the students a "hands on" experience. It was truly an experience.

VHS strives to open as many doors for our students as possible. With that in mind, a new curriculum, College Bridge, has been incorporated into the English and math classes. Please read the letter below to find out more about this program and how it can help students become exempt from some college courses, which in turn can save them money.
