Academic Team News:

On Monday, November 2^nd, the Thompson Academic Team had a shoot out with the Parkview Cowboys.  During the 1^st quarter, the Cowboys were unsuccessful in trying to wrangle the lions.  In the 2^nd quarter, Thompson moseyed their way through the game untouched.  After an excellent 3^rd quarter presentation by the Lions, the Cowboys were shaking in their boots.  In the 4^th quarter, Parkview tried to rope the lions but Thompson showed you cannot pin down a Lion.  The cowboys had to tip their hats to another Thompson victory with a score of 23-28.  Points were earned by Brian Tran, Angelica Phillips, Caxton Petri, Jenna Perez, Tony Ly, Evan Blalock, Maha Ali, Hector Ibarra, Madeline Lacamu, Lester Rodriguez, Fernando Rojas, and Alyssa Williams.
