Small town, big dreams …

After beating Rogers for the second time in one season, the Bison faced Franklin for the second time as well. Despite hopes to beat the team that gave them their only district loss, the Bison found their state dreams ending that night.

Junior Belles April Martinez and Emma Adams along with senior Kayla Saenz cheered on the football team throughout the game.

“We hoped for a different outcome, but I mean everything happens for a reason,” Martinez said. “I’m ready for what the next year brings and hopefully we’ll go further and deeper into the season.”

The 2021 seniors shared and crossed one more ‘last’ off their list while saying goodbye to their final football season.

“I have been in Belles for four years, and I have gone to every Friday night game, and now that it’s over, I miss it so much already,” Saenz said. “I wasn’t expecting it to end as fast as it did. Now that football season is over, all I have left to do is finish college applications, and that’s when it hit me that I’m really about to graduate in a few months.”
