THE POSITIVE QUOTE OF THE DAY IS FROM ROY BENNETT: “WHEN YOU START LIVING THE
LIFE OF YOUR DREAMS, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE OBSTACLES, DOUBTERS, MISTAKES AND
SETBACKS ALONG THE WAY. BUT WITH HARD WORK, PERSEVERANCE AND SELF-BELIEF
THERE IS NO LIMIT TO WHAT YOU CAN ACHIEVE.”
HELLO RICHARD MONTGOMERY! THIS IS RM SPORTS MINUTE, YOUR WEEKLY RM SPORTS
SHOW.
RICHARD MONTGOMERY! I DON’T KNOW IF YOU’VE HEARD OR NOT, BUT THE VARSITY
FOOTBALL TEAM HAS JUST CLINCHED A PLAYOFF GAME. AND IT’S AT HOME! RICHARD
MONTGOMERY WILL FACE NORTHWEST THIS FRIDAY AT HOME AT 6:30. THIS GAME
SHOULD BE INTERESTING, AS THE RM TEAM FINISHED THIRD IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY
4A, WITH A 9-1 RECORD. AND ALTHOUGH THAT WAS BETTER THAN NORTHWEST’S 7-3
RECORD, NORTHWEST IS THE ONLY TEAM TO BEAT RM THIS YEAR. SO COME OUT FRIDAY
NIGHT AND LET’S CHEER ON THE FOOTBALL TEAM!
WE ALSO HAVE SOME OTHER SUCCESSFUL TEAMS AT RM TOO. THE RICHARD
MONTGOMERY VARSITY GIRLS VOLLEYBALL TEAM IS COMING OFF A SOUND 3-1 VICTORY
OVER WALTER JOHNSON IN THE FIRST ROUND OF THE 4A PLAYOFFS! THEY WILL PLAY AT
BLAIR TONIGHT AT 5:30. WE SHOULD ALL COME OUT AND SUPPORT THE TEAM ON THEIR
OUTSTANDING JOURNEY TO BECOME STATE CHAMPIONS.
NOW WITH GOOD NEWS ALWAYS COMES SOME BAD. THE VARSITY RM SOCCER TEAM
UNFORTUNATELY LOST TO BLAIR 3-1 AND IS OUT OF THE 4A PLAYOFFS. BUT, ON A
BRIGHTER NOTE, THEY DID MAKE THE PLAYOFFS AND THEY MADE IT TO THE SECOND
ROUND OF THE PLAYOFFS. OVERALL, IT WAS A SOLID SEASON.
THAT’S ALL FOR RM SPORTS MINUTE. HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE SHOW. GO ROCKETS!
