They want to gain chemistry this year with their coach and some of the new players.  They have been winning some big games like the recent game against Southern Lab. They are also focusing on creating a great program this season.  On the court, players are working really hard with practices each day. The Eagles have had great success in their most recent game against French Settlement.

They have maintained a positive attitude all season, despite the challenges the girls had to face because of Covid-19 restrictions. At their competition in Jackson, MS, the team had a very good opening to their routine and the girls’ tumbling was in sync. They hit during their virtual competition, and the team was filmed for a tv show on Varsity TV at their competition in Houston. According to senior member Mackenzie Didier, the team is very hardworking and everyone has stepped up to become leaders.

ThisMardi Gras is the celebration period before the fasting season of Lent. The holiday arrived in North America as a French Catholic tradition with the Le Moyne brothers. Mardi Gras is French for “Fat Tuesday”, reflecting the practice of the last night of eating rich, fatty foods before the Lenten sacrifices and fasting of the Lenten season. It comes a day before Ash Wednesday and 47 days before Easter. This year Mardi Gras is on February 16, and it is celebrated throughout Louisiana. The first Mardi Gras parade that was held in New Orleans took place in 1837. The tradition of celebrating this holiday expanded to the point that it became synonymous with the city of New Orleans was embraced by residents of New Orleans beyond those of French or Catholic heritage. During the holiday season, there are parades that run throughout the city for families to enjoy.  Laissez Bon Temp Rouler!

This year’s softball auction was streamed via Facebook live on November 4th, 2020.  A change from last year, the 2020 auction was hosted by softball only, yet still had a terrific outcome.  The auction was held in the Live Oak High cafeteria with the help of the school’s media team and Vice Principal Gary Jones. 

The turnout for the auction was a surprising, yet heartwarming sign of the Watson community sticking together during the rough times the COVID-19 pandemic has presented.  Head coach, Katie Roux-Prescott, is overjoyed by the support from the community, “We are grateful to be a part of a school and community that comes together in hard times and finds ways to support our young athletes.”  The auction was organized by the softball team’s staff in order to raise money for the upcoming 2020-2021 season.  The softball team was very humbled by the love shown by the community and were very excited to interact with them.  Senior third- baseman Katie Van Der Mark feels the auction was a great success and allowed the softball team to showcase their hard work, “It created a platform to represent our culture and values we work on every single day.  I don’t think it could have gone any better.”  With the community turnout and the support of Watson, the softball team is very confident in their upcoming season and is thankful for the community that stands behind them and vice versa.

Mid- Terms 2020

Mid- terms are a busy time of the year for everyone. For students, the weeks before mid- terms are filled with study guides, cram packets, and late nights spent studying. For teachers, these weeks are filled with reviewing, helping their students bring up their grades, and preparing their students to test on everything they have learned since August. It is unclear whether testing will be different this year, or if we will be able to maintain the same schedule we have used in past years. This year, the school has a whole new challenge thrown at them during mid- term season. Everyone is trying to keep as many students on campus as possible. During the time between Thanksgiving break and midterms, excitement for Christmas is sparked in both teachers and students alike. Although extra precautions must be taken, everyone is trying to hold on to their Christmas spirit and their excitement for break to guide them through these ever-changing times.

Thanksgiving Break

Posted December 3, 2020

Written by Leisa Munson

Thanksgiving break is a time all students look forward to. A break from school, especially with the year we’ve had, is what we all need. During Thanksgiving break, us students will be able to not worry about getting school work complete, but we will be able to sit back and spend time with our family and friends. We can spend time with people that mean the most to us, as well as give thanks that we are able to take off of school and see our families. Some students may use the break as a getaway and go on vacation to enjoy their time away from school. It’s important that we all see how important it is to be able to take time off to see our families and friends, without worrying about school or work. It is the biggest blessing to have to be able to sit down and just spend time with your loved ones.
