BANNER BLASTERS Charging through the brand-new football spirit banner, seniors Austin Pratte, Sam Masten, Matthew Rich, Sami Haddad and Dalton McKeel pump up the crowd before the game against Denver East at All City Stadium Sept. 15. “It was awesome to express our school spirit Jaguar-style and test run through the banner,” Pratte said. “We were all feeling really happy and we were all laughing – it was a great time.” Victory for Rock Canyon seemed hopeless until Denver East lost their last-minute touchdown to a penalty call, leaving the score at 22 to 21 Jaguars.

SWING FOR THE SAVE Diving for the ball, Avnish Asthana ’18 saves a near miss at his JV tennis match against Heritage High School Aug 24. “Tennis is a lot of fun because you get to go out and just hit,” Asthana said. “It’s not super tiring but it’s still a really fun sport.” The Junior Varsity team was behind by a mere two points, and in a last attempt Asthana gave a powerful forehand swing. Despite his efforts, the team lost the match 10 to 8. Photo by Eryn Collins
A SAFE SLIDE SEALS THE WIN Sliding into home base, right fielder Erin Keen ’20 scores a run against Chaparral Sept. 6. “I was exhilarated and excited when my coach told me to go,” Keen said. “All I thought about was running as fast as I could and not getting trucked at home.” Keen’s efforts on the slide added to the punishing 21-5 victory over the Wolverines.
