Baseball Year End Recognition

With the conclusion of the baseball season yielding a second place finish and a record ten wins in District play, it is no surprise that J.J. Pearce was well represented for individual recognition. Leading the Mustangs was Jake Williams (Sr.) who earned third team All-State and first team All-District at first base. Also sharing first team All-District honors were Brent Powers (Sr.) and Matthew Faukner (Jr.). Second team All-District recognition was earned by BJ Miller (Jr.) and Michael Koval (Jr.).

The competition for these All-District awards was intense and validates the talent in District 10-4A is the best the state has to offer. The District champions made it to the state title game only to lose in the championship. District 10-4A had two teams amongst the top eight in the state and consistently had four teams ranked in the top ten in the metroplex.

Annual awards presented at the year end banquet for team recognition were:

Golden Glove: Doug Williams
Golden Arm: Brent Powers
Most Improved: Matthew Faukner
Big Stick: Jake Williams
Fighting Mustang Award: Taylor Randanzo

2007 Mustang Mum Store in officially underway! Come be a part of the fun!
The Mustang Mum Store is the place to be this summer and fall. Keeping the costs down for all students by providing a high quality mum, garter or friendship mum for Homecoming is the goal of this community project. The mum store has become much more than a fund raiser for Pearce High School. It has become a community networking center. But the center can only work if we have many volunteers working together for a common goal.

Have fun, be creative and meet new people. If you can cut with scissors, staple and follow directions, the J.J. Pearce PTA Mum Store needs your help! You will get a head start on meeting new Pearce friends, help create a lasting memento for your student's Homecoming experience and new this year, help earn money for your booster club!
There will be a series of summer workshop opportunities to begin assembly of the mums and garters. Get on the email list by sending an email to:mustangmumstore@gmail.com. Dates are to be determined, but make sure you are on the email list to receive updates. There will be daytime and evening (even weekend!) opportunities in the summer and after school starts.
Our store will be located on the southeast corner of Coit and Campbell Road (near Richardson Bike Mart). We'll see you at the Mum Store!

Help with stuffing registration packets on Tuesday, June 26^th. We will be in the Orchestra Room from 10:00 -1:00. Come and Join Us!
