SENIOR EDITION

Class of 2016
and were able to end their
high school golf career
with not one, but two state
titles.
The class of 2016 is also
notorious for being
‘historical’ or
even ‘legendary’
as some
of the members
of the class
have said.
The senior
class made numerous
state appearances
and made school history
by carrying sports
to lengths they had never
before reached.
Football continued the
winning tradition with an
appearance at state, hosted
at NRG stadium in Houston,
where the Eagles fell
short to the Waco La Vega
pirates. Yet, the football
team was left with an incredible
Argyle legacy from
seniors JC Chalk, Spencer
Cullen, Drew Estrada, Ty
Smith, David Bearden,
Hudson Speed, Holden
Bell, Chad Book, Caleb
Holt, Gage McCook, Shane
McKinney, Jacob Forrer,
Taylor Sweatt, Dakota
Carpenter, Colton Liggett,
Brady Llewellyn, Scott
Smith, Matt Rowe, Adam
Dyer, Blake Llewellyn, Jon
Fullingim, and Hunter
Blackwell.
Senior captain, a key
part of the team believes
that “winning [and getting
to] state is worth every second
of the countless hours
of practice it takes to get
there,” he said.
Senior Ty Smith will
never forget the experience.
“It’s an indescribable
experience that I am so
incredibly happy that I was
apart of,” Smith said.
Senior Hudson Speed,
however, thinks that building
a brotherhood was the
most significant part of
winning the state title.
“I played with most of
those guys since I was in
third grade and to go 16-0
was the ultimate feeling,” he
said.
Volleyball was one of
the ‘history makers’ this
year, winning the school’s
first ever 4A state championship.
Seniors Eighmy
Dobbins, Emma Malone,
Strealy Sizelove, Alexa Bass
and Melanie Carlisle led the
team to victory.
“We worked hard every
day and we wanted to make
the dream of being state
champions finally come
true,” Dobbins said.
