Originally scheduled for this ing Monday, Rockdale High School com- will hold their fall athletic banquet on Monday, Jan. 24, at the RJH Commons at 6 p.m.
While many were getting ready for New Year’s Eve parties or coming up with diets for their resolutions, Tiger soccer took down Robinson 2-1 to get their first victory of the season.
Although 2021 was a mildly unusual year (relative to 2020, that is), Rockdale, Milano and Thorndale schools had 12 state qualifiers, seven playoff teams, two state champions and 10 students commit or sign to college athletic programs.

Bottom right: Tiger head coach Gilberto Rodriguez with Lady Tiger head coach and fiance Shirley Lozano. With a 1:17 left to play in the game, Rodriguez fell on the ground injured. After minutes of him not getting up, Lozano ran on the field to make sure he was okay. When she made it to the field, he acted like it was a joke before getting on one knee and proposing to her. The alumni beat the Tigers 6-3 and the Lady Tigers fell to Connally 4-2 earlier in the evening. Both RHS teams play again on Dec. 30. Reporter/Wynton Thomason
