Boys basketball advances to playoffs
This past Tuesday, February 11, marked the last regular season home game for the boy’s basketball team.
For seniors, it was a memorable night due to the fact that it was their last time playing on their home court. “It sucks because I’m gonna miss playing in front of all my friends and family,” senior guard Jared Mendez said. “I wanted to give this game my all and come out with a victory more than anything.”
The Eagle’s took on the Westlake Chaparrals and dominated in and outside the paint the entire game. The Eagles took the lead within the first couple of minutes in the first quarter and kept it throughout the game resulting in a 75-55 Eagle victory.
Ending the regular season with an overall record of 18-12 and 6-6 in district, The Eagle’s have advanced to the 2013-2014 basketball playoffs.
The first game will be played against the Pflugerville Panthers on February 18 at Westlake High School. Game time has not been determined but we will announce as soon as possible.

This year I'm currently a SENIOR ~
Academy :
I am in the AHA Academy here at Akins.
Year on staff :
This will actually be my second year.
Newspaper role :
My role this year is the "Online Editor".
Why on staff ?
I am on staff because I was listening to Nothing Was The Same (NWTS) and then it hit me... I need to do something with my life. And... so yeah... that's how it happened. And also because I enjoy being apart of this staff and all the "inside scoop" we have about the school that most students don't know.
What do you do for fun ?
Well.. as weird as it sounds.. I make videos on the internet and no.. not those type of videos. Sadly. But yeah. My videos can go from me just talking about whatever is on my mind to my friends and i embarrassing ourselves in public. I also have a gangster rap alias by the name of "M-$LΔB" with the hopes and dreams of touring the world and having #1 hits. ok just kidding. But yeah, if you want to check out some of my videos.. just search my name and hopefully it won't be a big waste of your time.
Plans after high school ?
After high school I plan on getting famous and turning up with 2-CHAINZ... and if that doesn't happen.. I plan on attending college and majoring in a field along the lines of Radio, Television, and Digital Communication. Something like that.
