The Sacramento Bee Is Ready For Some Thunder

At Rocklin High School, we have many things to be proud of. Our campus is one filled with the solid support of our students and staff (as shown by the immediate outrage at last year's vandalism). But one thing that really inspires the Thunder pride is our athletics, and as our fall football season rapidly approaches, we are not the only ones recognizing the Rocklin team as a threat.

In the Sacramento Bee "High School Sports Preview-- Top 20 Football Teams", we are ranked number 4. Our quarterback, Jimmy Laughrea, is described as, "healthy and ready for another season." Now, as much as we dominate the ranking of our neighbor Whitney High School (they come in at number 13), we still come in behind our rival, Del Oro (who ranks at number 3). The name of Rocklin High School has certainly been boosted in the ranks thanks to last year's outstanding season, but we are expected to live up not only to our own standards, but those of others' as well.

But no matter what the rankings, it all comes down to how our team finishes in the end. So I pose a question to you readers: Are you ready for another mind-blowing football season???
