Jacket Athletes of the Month
Congratulations to RHS Jacket Backers Athletes of the Month
Listed below are all of the outstanding accomplishments made by these athletes during last month:
Men’s Soccer – Austin Lopez, Senior
Austin is a hard-working kid who loves soccer. Austin is a 3-year varsity player. He shows up every day ready to play and get better. He is a good teammate and leads by example. He plays center mid, outside mid, and forward. Austin will be a key part of our success this year.
Women’s Soccer – Miranda Countryman, Senior
Miranda was an integral part of the 2022 team’s success. This season, she is the team captain and has assumed the leadership with ease. While maintaining a challenging academic schedule as well as her soccer duties, Miranda’s role on the 2023 squad will be key to the success of the season. Her communication and vision of the game are helping to build a strong defense as she contributes to the offense as well!
Men’s Gymnastics – Dean Reed, Junior
Dean Reed scored his first ever "Perfect 10.0!" on Floor during our meet against Boswell High School. He also scored a 9.4 on Vault, and a 9.6 on High Bar. Dean finished 1st on Floor, 8th on Vault, and 4th on High Bar at the meet. Congratulations to Dean!
Women’s Gymnastics – Whitney Colpitts, Senior
Whitney is our 2022-2023 varsity captain. Whitney is the calm in our storm and keeps our entire team grounded and on track. While she is an amazing gymnast, her ability to lead her team, keep everyone motivated, and bring positivity everyday separates her from the rest. Whitney’s impact on her teammates and coaches is unmatchable and we are blessed to have her talent and leadership guiding the team this year.
Girls Basketball – Nicole Aguirre, Junior
Nicole is the point guard for the Lady Jackets and has done a great job in leading her team. Nicole helped the Lady Jackets to a 2-1 district start and 5th place finish (4-1) in the Aggieland Invitational over Christmas break. She is a great leader on and off the court. She is a great ball handler, defender and scorer for our team. Nicole truly loves her team and works hard to help each one of them succeed.
Boys Basketball – Jayden Saa, Senior
Jayden Saa is averaging 6.5 points per game and shooting 43% from the field. He has a 3 point field goal percentage of 39%, which is leading the team. Jayden is also an exemplary student. He had all A’s for term 2 and the 1st semester. Jayden is great kid that works hard and has earned everything he has gotten.
Men’s Wrestling – Jake Moon, Junior
Jake competed at the Coppell Santa Slam tournament and placed 1st in the 144 lb. finals! He placed 2nd at the Allen Outlaw tournament. Jake only has 1 loss this year. He is currently the #1 6A wrestler in the state.
Women’s Wrestling – Brooke Hoegger, Senior

Men’s Swim – Brad Binns, Junior
The month of December has been another great one for Brad. He is doing a great job at practice. As a distance swimmer, he must keep his yardage total at a high level. It has been accomplished this past month. He will be ready to go for our championship season.
Women’s Swim – Leyton Roberts
During the month of December, Leyton has raised her practices to another level. She is swimming on faster intervals, which has moved her up in practice groups. With this increased practice load, she is going to have an incredible district meet at the end of our season in the 500 Freestyle and 200 Freestyle.
