Westlake Varsity Footballby Joe Taylor

The Westlake Chaparrals played in 16 football games in 2015 and although the Chaps fell short to North Shore in the State Final Head Coach Todd Dodge looks fondly on the experience his pro-gram gained last seasonrsquos long playoff run

ldquoA bunch of our young guys who started the year on junior varsity got to experience the atmosphere of some special gamesrdquo Dodge said ldquoThey also practiced and played a bunch of footballrdquo The 2016 squad will need to channel those moments when it opens its season with the defending state champion Katy Tigers at Chaparral Stadium

UIL realignment has moved Westlake rival Lake Travis and 6A newcomers Vandegrift Vista Ridge and Leander into District 25-6A and back into Region IV

ldquoWersquore excited about the challengerdquo Dodge said ldquoIrsquove competed against schools like Leander Vista Ridge and Vandegrift when I was at Marble Falls Itrsquoll be nice to compete against them with a 6A football teamrdquo

Westlake returns nine starters and while the loss of three three-year starters in the secondary senior bandit linebacker Barrett Chambers is ready to lead the back end of the defense Junior Hayden Bohlmann has continued to improve from his stint as a back-up linebacker during his sophomore campaign and will play next to the very talented Levi Jones The son of former Dallas Cowboy Robert Jones is on a mission to get better and his efforts during the 2015 playoff run has landed the senior linebacker nu-merous Division I scholarship offers from across the nation

The strength of the defense is up front as Sam Duffy and Jarrod Jacobson return to the defensive line Kade Ball and Braden Cassi-ty enjoyed playoff playing time and will give defensive coordinator Tony Salazar some size on the line

17

FootbAll Preview

In 27 starts Sam Ehlinger is statistically the best quarterback in Westlake history Ehlinger now owns all the passing records as he cruised by both Drew Brees and Nick Foles in 2015 That said the Texas bound senior quarterback will have a challenge as the Chaps will introduce a new band of receivers

ldquoSam is just scratching the surface and hersquos ready to get betterrdquo Dodge explained ldquoI know a lot of people from the outside looking in are wondering how thatrsquos possible after last year but hersquos already working His accuracy has improved tremendously and with new receivers hersquos motivated to making them betterrdquo

Andrew Boykin was the fourth option in last yearrsquos passing attack but he quietly caught 10 touchdown passes Boykin has emerged as a force on the outside with Noah Skrudland right on his heels as another option in Todd Dodgersquos ldquospread the wealthrdquo offense

While Sam Ehlinger led the rushing attack a year ago Westlakersquos depth was the talk of spring camp and will be a huge conversation piece this fall Izaiah Faz and Steele OrsquoConnor suffered injuries in 2015 and the Chaps were forced to improvise with Ehlinger and other speed threats like Noah Hodes In 2016 there are six viable running backs that will solidify the depth and give Westlake a chance to use their talented offensive line to do more than just protect Ehlinger

Linemen Stephan Zabie amp Joe Heironimus anchored the left side of an offensive line that was widely successful in 2015 Zabie has come on strong in recruiting circles and looks to have Division I opportunities of his own following his senior season

ldquoIf you have good quarterback play and a solid defense yoursquore going to win gamesrdquo Dodge said ldquoWe have those in 2016 and wersquore excited about where we are and where wersquore headedrdquo

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

D2 Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps enjoyed their most successful season yet going undefeated in district play and de-feating the defending District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016 This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carried this momentum into the ATX Super Regional playoffs hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) playoffs at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock to face Magnolia in the first round and McKinney in the second round The Chaps success is based on a stingy physical defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 roster is made up of all Sophomores and Freshmen and these Chaps faced more experienced older teams every game and continued to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program Overall goal keeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with high-light performances against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

Super Regional Summary Round 2 Chaps D2 (9) vs McKinney (12) The 2016 DII squads run for the state championship ended on Sunday in a battle with a tough McKinney squad where the Chaps fell 12-9 Tough breaks and a possession disadvantage in faceoffs made a huge difference in this game but despite this the young DII team fought to the last whistle A tough end to the season but this squad advanced farther than any other D2 team has gone

Offensively the Chaps were lead with three goals by Lake De La Fuente and Ryan Flaherty with two goals Matt Andreo Collin Swallow and Preston Lynch each scored a goal apiece and Reid Vender showed his teamwork logging three assists Westlake was able to fight through the McKinney zone defense in expert fashion taking a 9-7 lead in the third quarter Ultimately the possession disadvantage was insur-mountable and McKinney was able to pull away in the fourth quarter Defensively Rob Soluri once again proved to be the anchor of the defense logging 12 saves Miles Sigel and Thomas Rousseau each snagged three ground balls apiece and the Chaps proved formidable against a well drilled McKinney squad Player of the game-- Lake De La Fuente

Super Regional Summary Round 1 Chaps D2 (11) vs Magnolia (4) The D2 Chaps squad overpowered the Magnolia squad 11-4 to advance to the regional finals The game was never in doubt as the Chaps streaked to an 8-0 halftime lead The Chaps never looked back and the team began preparation for the finals early Offensively multiple players contributed to the offensive effort Collin Swallow led the way with three goals and one assist while Lake De La Fuente Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender each scored two on the day Ryan Flaherty tossed in one goal and one assist while Preston Lynch proved to be both a scoring and feeding threat with one goal and two assists Defensively the Chaps defense created numerous turnovers and followed it up by winning the ground ball battle Ryan Ney Noah Fornier and David Dickerson created a wall the Magnolia squad was not able to penetrate Goalie Rob Soluri saved the ball 67 of the time and the defense worked magnificently to get the ball to the offensive end successfully clear-ing the ball 92 of the time Kyle Lindley made it to his first lacrosse game since being released from the hospital Kyle inspired the team to perform with strength and courage and is the D2 Player of the Game

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

Westlake Varsity Footballby Joe Taylor

The Westlake Chaparrals played in 16 football games in 2015 and although the Chaps fell short to North Shore in the State Final Head Coach Todd Dodge looks fondly on the experience his pro-gram gained last seasonrsquos long playoff run

ldquoA bunch of our young guys who started the year on junior varsity got to experience the atmosphere of some special gamesrdquo Dodge said ldquoThey also practiced and played a bunch of footballrdquo The 2016 squad will need to channel those moments when it opens its season with the defending state champion Katy Tigers at Chaparral Stadium

UIL realignment has moved Westlake rival Lake Travis and 6A newcomers Vandegrift Vista Ridge and Leander into District 25-6A and back into Region IV

ldquoWersquore excited about the challengerdquo Dodge said ldquoIrsquove competed against schools like Leander Vista Ridge and Vandegrift when I was at Marble Falls Itrsquoll be nice to compete against them with a 6A football teamrdquo

Westlake returns nine starters and while the loss of three three-year starters in the secondary senior bandit linebacker Barrett Chambers is ready to lead the back end of the defense Junior Hayden Bohlmann has continued to improve from his stint as a back-up linebacker during his sophomore campaign and will play next to the very talented Levi Jones The son of former Dallas Cowboy Robert Jones is on a mission to get better and his efforts during the 2015 playoff run has landed the senior linebacker nu-merous Division I scholarship offers from across the nation

The strength of the defense is up front as Sam Duffy and Jarrod Jacobson return to the defensive line Kade Ball and Braden Cassi-ty enjoyed playoff playing time and will give defensive coordinator Tony Salazar some size on the line

17

FootbAll Preview

In 27 starts Sam Ehlinger is statistically the best quarterback in Westlake history Ehlinger now owns all the passing records as he cruised by both Drew Brees and Nick Foles in 2015 That said the Texas bound senior quarterback will have a challenge as the Chaps will introduce a new band of receivers

ldquoSam is just scratching the surface and hersquos ready to get betterrdquo Dodge explained ldquoI know a lot of people from the outside looking in are wondering how thatrsquos possible after last year but hersquos already working His accuracy has improved tremendously and with new receivers hersquos motivated to making them betterrdquo

Andrew Boykin was the fourth option in last yearrsquos passing attack but he quietly caught 10 touchdown passes Boykin has emerged as a force on the outside with Noah Skrudland right on his heels as another option in Todd Dodgersquos ldquospread the wealthrdquo offense

While Sam Ehlinger led the rushing attack a year ago Westlakersquos depth was the talk of spring camp and will be a huge conversation piece this fall Izaiah Faz and Steele OrsquoConnor suffered injuries in 2015 and the Chaps were forced to improvise with Ehlinger and other speed threats like Noah Hodes In 2016 there are six viable running backs that will solidify the depth and give Westlake a chance to use their talented offensive line to do more than just protect Ehlinger

Linemen Stephan Zabie amp Joe Heironimus anchored the left side of an offensive line that was widely successful in 2015 Zabie has come on strong in recruiting circles and looks to have Division I opportunities of his own following his senior season

ldquoIf you have good quarterback play and a solid defense yoursquore going to win gamesrdquo Dodge said ldquoWe have those in 2016 and wersquore excited about where we are and where wersquore headedrdquo

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

Westlake Varsity Footballby Joe Taylor

The Westlake Chaparrals played in 16 football games in 2015 and although the Chaps fell short to North Shore in the State Final Head Coach Todd Dodge looks fondly on the experience his pro-gram gained last seasonrsquos long playoff run

ldquoA bunch of our young guys who started the year on junior varsity got to experience the atmosphere of some special gamesrdquo Dodge said ldquoThey also practiced and played a bunch of footballrdquo The 2016 squad will need to channel those moments when it opens its season with the defending state champion Katy Tigers at Chaparral Stadium

UIL realignment has moved Westlake rival Lake Travis and 6A newcomers Vandegrift Vista Ridge and Leander into District 25-6A and back into Region IV

ldquoWersquore excited about the challengerdquo Dodge said ldquoIrsquove competed against schools like Leander Vista Ridge and Vandegrift when I was at Marble Falls Itrsquoll be nice to compete against them with a 6A football teamrdquo

Westlake returns nine starters and while the loss of three three-year starters in the secondary senior bandit linebacker Barrett Chambers is ready to lead the back end of the defense Junior Hayden Bohlmann has continued to improve from his stint as a back-up linebacker during his sophomore campaign and will play next to the very talented Levi Jones The son of former Dallas Cowboy Robert Jones is on a mission to get better and his efforts during the 2015 playoff run has landed the senior linebacker nu-merous Division I scholarship offers from across the nation

The strength of the defense is up front as Sam Duffy and Jarrod Jacobson return to the defensive line Kade Ball and Braden Cassi-ty enjoyed playoff playing time and will give defensive coordinator Tony Salazar some size on the line

17

FootbAll Preview

In 27 starts Sam Ehlinger is statistically the best quarterback in Westlake history Ehlinger now owns all the passing records as he cruised by both Drew Brees and Nick Foles in 2015 That said the Texas bound senior quarterback will have a challenge as the Chaps will introduce a new band of receivers

ldquoSam is just scratching the surface and hersquos ready to get betterrdquo Dodge explained ldquoI know a lot of people from the outside looking in are wondering how thatrsquos possible after last year but hersquos already working His accuracy has improved tremendously and with new receivers hersquos motivated to making them betterrdquo

Andrew Boykin was the fourth option in last yearrsquos passing attack but he quietly caught 10 touchdown passes Boykin has emerged as a force on the outside with Noah Skrudland right on his heels as another option in Todd Dodgersquos ldquospread the wealthrdquo offense

While Sam Ehlinger led the rushing attack a year ago Westlakersquos depth was the talk of spring camp and will be a huge conversation piece this fall Izaiah Faz and Steele OrsquoConnor suffered injuries in 2015 and the Chaps were forced to improvise with Ehlinger and other speed threats like Noah Hodes In 2016 there are six viable running backs that will solidify the depth and give Westlake a chance to use their talented offensive line to do more than just protect Ehlinger

Linemen Stephan Zabie amp Joe Heironimus anchored the left side of an offensive line that was widely successful in 2015 Zabie has come on strong in recruiting circles and looks to have Division I opportunities of his own following his senior season

ldquoIf you have good quarterback play and a solid defense yoursquore going to win gamesrdquo Dodge said ldquoWe have those in 2016 and wersquore excited about where we are and where wersquore headedrdquo

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

Super Regional Summary Round 2 Chaps D2 (9) vs McKinney (12) The 2016 DII squads run for the state championship ended on Sunday in a battle with a tough McKinney squad where the Chaps fell 12-9 Tough breaks and a possession disadvantage in faceoffs made a huge difference in this game but despite this the young DII team fought to the last whistle A tough end to the season but this squad advanced farther than any other D2 team has gone

Offensively the Chaps were lead with three goals by Lake De La Fuente and Ryan Flaherty with two goals Matt Andreo Collin Swallow and Preston Lynch each scored a goal apiece and Reid Vender showed his teamwork logging three assists Westlake was able to fight through the McKinney zone defense in expert fashion taking a 9-7 lead in the third quarter Ultimately the possession disadvantage was insur-mountable and McKinney was able to pull away in the fourth quarter Defensively Rob Soluri once again proved to be the anchor of the defense logging 12 saves Miles Sigel and Thomas Rousseau each snagged three ground balls apiece and the Chaps proved formidable against a well drilled McKinney squad Player of the game-- Lake De La Fuente

Super Regional Summary Round 1 Chaps D2 (11) vs Magnolia (4) The D2 Chaps squad overpowered the Magnolia squad 11-4 to advance to the regional finals The game was never in doubt as the Chaps streaked to an 8-0 halftime lead The Chaps never looked back and the team began preparation for the finals early Offensively multiple players contributed to the offensive effort Collin Swallow led the way with three goals and one assist while Lake De La Fuente Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender each scored two on the day Ryan Flaherty tossed in one goal and one assist while Preston Lynch proved to be both a scoring and feeding threat with one goal and two assists Defensively the Chaps defense created numerous turnovers and followed it up by winning the ground ball battle Ryan Ney Noah Fornier and David Dickerson created a wall the Magnolia squad was not able to penetrate Goalie Rob Soluri saved the ball 67 of the time and the defense worked magnificently to get the ball to the offensive end successfully clear-ing the ball 92 of the time Kyle Lindley made it to his first lacrosse game since being released from the hospital Kyle inspired the team to perform with strength and courage and is the D2 Player of the Game

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

Westlake Varsity Footballby Joe Taylor

The Westlake Chaparrals played in 16 football games in 2015 and although the Chaps fell short to North Shore in the State Final Head Coach Todd Dodge looks fondly on the experience his pro-gram gained last seasonrsquos long playoff run

ldquoA bunch of our young guys who started the year on junior varsity got to experience the atmosphere of some special gamesrdquo Dodge said ldquoThey also practiced and played a bunch of footballrdquo The 2016 squad will need to channel those moments when it opens its season with the defending state champion Katy Tigers at Chaparral Stadium

UIL realignment has moved Westlake rival Lake Travis and 6A newcomers Vandegrift Vista Ridge and Leander into District 25-6A and back into Region IV

ldquoWersquore excited about the challengerdquo Dodge said ldquoIrsquove competed against schools like Leander Vista Ridge and Vandegrift when I was at Marble Falls Itrsquoll be nice to compete against them with a 6A football teamrdquo

Westlake returns nine starters and while the loss of three three-year starters in the secondary senior bandit linebacker Barrett Chambers is ready to lead the back end of the defense Junior Hayden Bohlmann has continued to improve from his stint as a back-up linebacker during his sophomore campaign and will play next to the very talented Levi Jones The son of former Dallas Cowboy Robert Jones is on a mission to get better and his efforts during the 2015 playoff run has landed the senior linebacker nu-merous Division I scholarship offers from across the nation

The strength of the defense is up front as Sam Duffy and Jarrod Jacobson return to the defensive line Kade Ball and Braden Cassi-ty enjoyed playoff playing time and will give defensive coordinator Tony Salazar some size on the line

17

FootbAll Preview

In 27 starts Sam Ehlinger is statistically the best quarterback in Westlake history Ehlinger now owns all the passing records as he cruised by both Drew Brees and Nick Foles in 2015 That said the Texas bound senior quarterback will have a challenge as the Chaps will introduce a new band of receivers

ldquoSam is just scratching the surface and hersquos ready to get betterrdquo Dodge explained ldquoI know a lot of people from the outside looking in are wondering how thatrsquos possible after last year but hersquos already working His accuracy has improved tremendously and with new receivers hersquos motivated to making them betterrdquo

Andrew Boykin was the fourth option in last yearrsquos passing attack but he quietly caught 10 touchdown passes Boykin has emerged as a force on the outside with Noah Skrudland right on his heels as another option in Todd Dodgersquos ldquospread the wealthrdquo offense

While Sam Ehlinger led the rushing attack a year ago Westlakersquos depth was the talk of spring camp and will be a huge conversation piece this fall Izaiah Faz and Steele OrsquoConnor suffered injuries in 2015 and the Chaps were forced to improvise with Ehlinger and other speed threats like Noah Hodes In 2016 there are six viable running backs that will solidify the depth and give Westlake a chance to use their talented offensive line to do more than just protect Ehlinger

Linemen Stephan Zabie amp Joe Heironimus anchored the left side of an offensive line that was widely successful in 2015 Zabie has come on strong in recruiting circles and looks to have Division I opportunities of his own following his senior season

ldquoIf you have good quarterback play and a solid defense yoursquore going to win gamesrdquo Dodge said ldquoWe have those in 2016 and wersquore excited about where we are and where wersquore headedrdquo

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

Westlake Varsity Footballby Joe Taylor

The Westlake Chaparrals played in 16 football games in 2015 and although the Chaps fell short to North Shore in the State Final Head Coach Todd Dodge looks fondly on the experience his pro-gram gained last seasonrsquos long playoff run

ldquoA bunch of our young guys who started the year on junior varsity got to experience the atmosphere of some special gamesrdquo Dodge said ldquoThey also practiced and played a bunch of footballrdquo The 2016 squad will need to channel those moments when it opens its season with the defending state champion Katy Tigers at Chaparral Stadium

UIL realignment has moved Westlake rival Lake Travis and 6A newcomers Vandegrift Vista Ridge and Leander into District 25-6A and back into Region IV

ldquoWersquore excited about the challengerdquo Dodge said ldquoIrsquove competed against schools like Leander Vista Ridge and Vandegrift when I was at Marble Falls Itrsquoll be nice to compete against them with a 6A football teamrdquo

Westlake returns nine starters and while the loss of three three-year starters in the secondary senior bandit linebacker Barrett Chambers is ready to lead the back end of the defense Junior Hayden Bohlmann has continued to improve from his stint as a back-up linebacker during his sophomore campaign and will play next to the very talented Levi Jones The son of former Dallas Cowboy Robert Jones is on a mission to get better and his efforts during the 2015 playoff run has landed the senior linebacker nu-merous Division I scholarship offers from across the nation

The strength of the defense is up front as Sam Duffy and Jarrod Jacobson return to the defensive line Kade Ball and Braden Cassi-ty enjoyed playoff playing time and will give defensive coordinator Tony Salazar some size on the line

17

FootbAll Preview

In 27 starts Sam Ehlinger is statistically the best quarterback in Westlake history Ehlinger now owns all the passing records as he cruised by both Drew Brees and Nick Foles in 2015 That said the Texas bound senior quarterback will have a challenge as the Chaps will introduce a new band of receivers

ldquoSam is just scratching the surface and hersquos ready to get betterrdquo Dodge explained ldquoI know a lot of people from the outside looking in are wondering how thatrsquos possible after last year but hersquos already working His accuracy has improved tremendously and with new receivers hersquos motivated to making them betterrdquo

Andrew Boykin was the fourth option in last yearrsquos passing attack but he quietly caught 10 touchdown passes Boykin has emerged as a force on the outside with Noah Skrudland right on his heels as another option in Todd Dodgersquos ldquospread the wealthrdquo offense

While Sam Ehlinger led the rushing attack a year ago Westlakersquos depth was the talk of spring camp and will be a huge conversation piece this fall Izaiah Faz and Steele OrsquoConnor suffered injuries in 2015 and the Chaps were forced to improvise with Ehlinger and other speed threats like Noah Hodes In 2016 there are six viable running backs that will solidify the depth and give Westlake a chance to use their talented offensive line to do more than just protect Ehlinger

Linemen Stephan Zabie amp Joe Heironimus anchored the left side of an offensive line that was widely successful in 2015 Zabie has come on strong in recruiting circles and looks to have Division I opportunities of his own following his senior season

ldquoIf you have good quarterback play and a solid defense yoursquore going to win gamesrdquo Dodge said ldquoWe have those in 2016 and wersquore excited about where we are and where wersquore headedrdquo

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

Westlake Varsity Footballby Joe Taylor

The Westlake Chaparrals played in 16 football games in 2015 and although the Chaps fell short to North Shore in the State Final Head Coach Todd Dodge looks fondly on the experience his pro-gram gained last seasonrsquos long playoff run

ldquoA bunch of our young guys who started the year on junior varsity got to experience the atmosphere of some special gamesrdquo Dodge said ldquoThey also practiced and played a bunch of footballrdquo The 2016 squad will need to channel those moments when it opens its season with the defending state champion Katy Tigers at Chaparral Stadium

UIL realignment has moved Westlake rival Lake Travis and 6A newcomers Vandegrift Vista Ridge and Leander into District 25-6A and back into Region IV

ldquoWersquore excited about the challengerdquo Dodge said ldquoIrsquove competed against schools like Leander Vista Ridge and Vandegrift when I was at Marble Falls Itrsquoll be nice to compete against them with a 6A football teamrdquo

Westlake returns nine starters and while the loss of three three-year starters in the secondary senior bandit linebacker Barrett Chambers is ready to lead the back end of the defense Junior Hayden Bohlmann has continued to improve from his stint as a back-up linebacker during his sophomore campaign and will play next to the very talented Levi Jones The son of former Dallas Cowboy Robert Jones is on a mission to get better and his efforts during the 2015 playoff run has landed the senior linebacker nu-merous Division I scholarship offers from across the nation

The strength of the defense is up front as Sam Duffy and Jarrod Jacobson return to the defensive line Kade Ball and Braden Cassi-ty enjoyed playoff playing time and will give defensive coordinator Tony Salazar some size on the line

17

FootbAll Preview

In 27 starts Sam Ehlinger is statistically the best quarterback in Westlake history Ehlinger now owns all the passing records as he cruised by both Drew Brees and Nick Foles in 2015 That said the Texas bound senior quarterback will have a challenge as the Chaps will introduce a new band of receivers

ldquoSam is just scratching the surface and hersquos ready to get betterrdquo Dodge explained ldquoI know a lot of people from the outside looking in are wondering how thatrsquos possible after last year but hersquos already working His accuracy has improved tremendously and with new receivers hersquos motivated to making them betterrdquo

Andrew Boykin was the fourth option in last yearrsquos passing attack but he quietly caught 10 touchdown passes Boykin has emerged as a force on the outside with Noah Skrudland right on his heels as another option in Todd Dodgersquos ldquospread the wealthrdquo offense

While Sam Ehlinger led the rushing attack a year ago Westlakersquos depth was the talk of spring camp and will be a huge conversation piece this fall Izaiah Faz and Steele OrsquoConnor suffered injuries in 2015 and the Chaps were forced to improvise with Ehlinger and other speed threats like Noah Hodes In 2016 there are six viable running backs that will solidify the depth and give Westlake a chance to use their talented offensive line to do more than just protect Ehlinger

Linemen Stephan Zabie amp Joe Heironimus anchored the left side of an offensive line that was widely successful in 2015 Zabie has come on strong in recruiting circles and looks to have Division I opportunities of his own following his senior season

ldquoIf you have good quarterback play and a solid defense yoursquore going to win gamesrdquo Dodge said ldquoWe have those in 2016 and wersquore excited about where we are and where wersquore headedrdquo

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

Westlake Varsity Footballby Joe Taylor

The Westlake Chaparrals played in 16 football games in 2015 and although the Chaps fell short to North Shore in the State Final Head Coach Todd Dodge looks fondly on the experience his pro-gram gained last seasonrsquos long playoff run

ldquoA bunch of our young guys who started the year on junior varsity got to experience the atmosphere of some special gamesrdquo Dodge said ldquoThey also practiced and played a bunch of footballrdquo The 2016 squad will need to channel those moments when it opens its season with the defending state champion Katy Tigers at Chaparral Stadium

UIL realignment has moved Westlake rival Lake Travis and 6A newcomers Vandegrift Vista Ridge and Leander into District 25-6A and back into Region IV

ldquoWersquore excited about the challengerdquo Dodge said ldquoIrsquove competed against schools like Leander Vista Ridge and Vandegrift when I was at Marble Falls Itrsquoll be nice to compete against them with a 6A football teamrdquo

Westlake returns nine starters and while the loss of three three-year starters in the secondary senior bandit linebacker Barrett Chambers is ready to lead the back end of the defense Junior Hayden Bohlmann has continued to improve from his stint as a back-up linebacker during his sophomore campaign and will play next to the very talented Levi Jones The son of former Dallas Cowboy Robert Jones is on a mission to get better and his efforts during the 2015 playoff run has landed the senior linebacker nu-merous Division I scholarship offers from across the nation

The strength of the defense is up front as Sam Duffy and Jarrod Jacobson return to the defensive line Kade Ball and Braden Cassi-ty enjoyed playoff playing time and will give defensive coordinator Tony Salazar some size on the line

17

FootbAll Preview

In 27 starts Sam Ehlinger is statistically the best quarterback in Westlake history Ehlinger now owns all the passing records as he cruised by both Drew Brees and Nick Foles in 2015 That said the Texas bound senior quarterback will have a challenge as the Chaps will introduce a new band of receivers

ldquoSam is just scratching the surface and hersquos ready to get betterrdquo Dodge explained ldquoI know a lot of people from the outside looking in are wondering how thatrsquos possible after last year but hersquos already working His accuracy has improved tremendously and with new receivers hersquos motivated to making them betterrdquo

Andrew Boykin was the fourth option in last yearrsquos passing attack but he quietly caught 10 touchdown passes Boykin has emerged as a force on the outside with Noah Skrudland right on his heels as another option in Todd Dodgersquos ldquospread the wealthrdquo offense

While Sam Ehlinger led the rushing attack a year ago Westlakersquos depth was the talk of spring camp and will be a huge conversation piece this fall Izaiah Faz and Steele OrsquoConnor suffered injuries in 2015 and the Chaps were forced to improvise with Ehlinger and other speed threats like Noah Hodes In 2016 there are six viable running backs that will solidify the depth and give Westlake a chance to use their talented offensive line to do more than just protect Ehlinger

Linemen Stephan Zabie amp Joe Heironimus anchored the left side of an offensive line that was widely successful in 2015 Zabie has come on strong in recruiting circles and looks to have Division I opportunities of his own following his senior season

ldquoIf you have good quarterback play and a solid defense yoursquore going to win gamesrdquo Dodge said ldquoWe have those in 2016 and wersquore excited about where we are and where wersquore headedrdquo

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

Westlake Varsity Footballby Joe Taylor

The Westlake Chaparrals played in 16 football games in 2015 and although the Chaps fell short to North Shore in the State Final Head Coach Todd Dodge looks fondly on the experience his pro-gram gained last seasonrsquos long playoff run

ldquoA bunch of our young guys who started the year on junior varsity got to experience the atmosphere of some special gamesrdquo Dodge said ldquoThey also practiced and played a bunch of footballrdquo The 2016 squad will need to channel those moments when it opens its season with the defending state champion Katy Tigers at Chaparral Stadium

UIL realignment has moved Westlake rival Lake Travis and 6A newcomers Vandegrift Vista Ridge and Leander into District 25-6A and back into Region IV

ldquoWersquore excited about the challengerdquo Dodge said ldquoIrsquove competed against schools like Leander Vista Ridge and Vandegrift when I was at Marble Falls Itrsquoll be nice to compete against them with a 6A football teamrdquo

Westlake returns nine starters and while the loss of three three-year starters in the secondary senior bandit linebacker Barrett Chambers is ready to lead the back end of the defense Junior Hayden Bohlmann has continued to improve from his stint as a back-up linebacker during his sophomore campaign and will play next to the very talented Levi Jones The son of former Dallas Cowboy Robert Jones is on a mission to get better and his efforts during the 2015 playoff run has landed the senior linebacker nu-merous Division I scholarship offers from across the nation

The strength of the defense is up front as Sam Duffy and Jarrod Jacobson return to the defensive line Kade Ball and Braden Cassi-ty enjoyed playoff playing time and will give defensive coordinator Tony Salazar some size on the line

17

FootbAll Preview

In 27 starts Sam Ehlinger is statistically the best quarterback in Westlake history Ehlinger now owns all the passing records as he cruised by both Drew Brees and Nick Foles in 2015 That said the Texas bound senior quarterback will have a challenge as the Chaps will introduce a new band of receivers

ldquoSam is just scratching the surface and hersquos ready to get betterrdquo Dodge explained ldquoI know a lot of people from the outside looking in are wondering how thatrsquos possible after last year but hersquos already working His accuracy has improved tremendously and with new receivers hersquos motivated to making them betterrdquo

Andrew Boykin was the fourth option in last yearrsquos passing attack but he quietly caught 10 touchdown passes Boykin has emerged as a force on the outside with Noah Skrudland right on his heels as another option in Todd Dodgersquos ldquospread the wealthrdquo offense

While Sam Ehlinger led the rushing attack a year ago Westlakersquos depth was the talk of spring camp and will be a huge conversation piece this fall Izaiah Faz and Steele OrsquoConnor suffered injuries in 2015 and the Chaps were forced to improvise with Ehlinger and other speed threats like Noah Hodes In 2016 there are six viable running backs that will solidify the depth and give Westlake a chance to use their talented offensive line to do more than just protect Ehlinger

Linemen Stephan Zabie amp Joe Heironimus anchored the left side of an offensive line that was widely successful in 2015 Zabie has come on strong in recruiting circles and looks to have Division I opportunities of his own following his senior season

ldquoIf you have good quarterback play and a solid defense yoursquore going to win gamesrdquo Dodge said ldquoWe have those in 2016 and wersquore excited about where we are and where wersquore headedrdquo

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

Super Regional Summary Round 2 Chaps D2 (9) vs McKinney (12) The 2016 DII squads run for the state championship ended on Sunday in a battle with a tough McKinney squad where the Chaps fell 12-9 Tough breaks and a possession disadvantage in faceoffs made a huge difference in this game but despite this the young DII team fought to the last whistle A tough end to the season but this squad advanced farther than any other D2 team has gone

Offensively the Chaps were lead with three goals by Lake De La Fuente and Ryan Flaherty with two goals Matt Andreo Collin Swallow and Preston Lynch each scored a goal apiece and Reid Vender showed his teamwork logging three assists Westlake was able to fight through the McKinney zone defense in expert fashion taking a 9-7 lead in the third quarter Ultimately the possession disadvantage was insur-mountable and McKinney was able to pull away in the fourth quarter Defensively Rob Soluri once again proved to be the anchor of the defense logging 12 saves Miles Sigel and Thomas Rousseau each snagged three ground balls apiece and the Chaps proved formidable against a well drilled McKinney squad Player of the game-- Lake De La Fuente

Super Regional Summary Round 1 Chaps D2 (11) vs Magnolia (4) The D2 Chaps squad overpowered the Magnolia squad 11-4 to advance to the regional finals The game was never in doubt as the Chaps streaked to an 8-0 halftime lead The Chaps never looked back and the team began preparation for the finals early Offensively multiple players contributed to the offensive effort Collin Swallow led the way with three goals and one assist while Lake De La Fuente Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender each scored two on the day Ryan Flaherty tossed in one goal and one assist while Preston Lynch proved to be both a scoring and feeding threat with one goal and two assists Defensively the Chaps defense created numerous turnovers and followed it up by winning the ground ball battle Ryan Ney Noah Fornier and David Dickerson created a wall the Magnolia squad was not able to penetrate Goalie Rob Soluri saved the ball 67 of the time and the defense worked magnificently to get the ball to the offensive end successfully clear-ing the ball 92 of the time Kyle Lindley made it to his first lacrosse game since being released from the hospital Kyle inspired the team to perform with strength and courage and is the D2 Player of the Game

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

Westlake Varsity Footballby Joe Taylor

The Westlake Chaparrals played in 16 football games in 2015 and although the Chaps fell short to North Shore in the State Final Head Coach Todd Dodge looks fondly on the experience his pro-gram gained last seasonrsquos long playoff run

ldquoA bunch of our young guys who started the year on junior varsity got to experience the atmosphere of some special gamesrdquo Dodge said ldquoThey also practiced and played a bunch of footballrdquo The 2016 squad will need to channel those moments when it opens its season with the defending state champion Katy Tigers at Chaparral Stadium

UIL realignment has moved Westlake rival Lake Travis and 6A newcomers Vandegrift Vista Ridge and Leander into District 25-6A and back into Region IV

ldquoWersquore excited about the challengerdquo Dodge said ldquoIrsquove competed against schools like Leander Vista Ridge and Vandegrift when I was at Marble Falls Itrsquoll be nice to compete against them with a 6A football teamrdquo

Westlake returns nine starters and while the loss of three three-year starters in the secondary senior bandit linebacker Barrett Chambers is ready to lead the back end of the defense Junior Hayden Bohlmann has continued to improve from his stint as a back-up linebacker during his sophomore campaign and will play next to the very talented Levi Jones The son of former Dallas Cowboy Robert Jones is on a mission to get better and his efforts during the 2015 playoff run has landed the senior linebacker nu-merous Division I scholarship offers from across the nation

The strength of the defense is up front as Sam Duffy and Jarrod Jacobson return to the defensive line Kade Ball and Braden Cassi-ty enjoyed playoff playing time and will give defensive coordinator Tony Salazar some size on the line

17

FootbAll Preview

In 27 starts Sam Ehlinger is statistically the best quarterback in Westlake history Ehlinger now owns all the passing records as he cruised by both Drew Brees and Nick Foles in 2015 That said the Texas bound senior quarterback will have a challenge as the Chaps will introduce a new band of receivers

ldquoSam is just scratching the surface and hersquos ready to get betterrdquo Dodge explained ldquoI know a lot of people from the outside looking in are wondering how thatrsquos possible after last year but hersquos already working His accuracy has improved tremendously and with new receivers hersquos motivated to making them betterrdquo

Andrew Boykin was the fourth option in last yearrsquos passing attack but he quietly caught 10 touchdown passes Boykin has emerged as a force on the outside with Noah Skrudland right on his heels as another option in Todd Dodgersquos ldquospread the wealthrdquo offense

While Sam Ehlinger led the rushing attack a year ago Westlakersquos depth was the talk of spring camp and will be a huge conversation piece this fall Izaiah Faz and Steele OrsquoConnor suffered injuries in 2015 and the Chaps were forced to improvise with Ehlinger and other speed threats like Noah Hodes In 2016 there are six viable running backs that will solidify the depth and give Westlake a chance to use their talented offensive line to do more than just protect Ehlinger

Linemen Stephan Zabie amp Joe Heironimus anchored the left side of an offensive line that was widely successful in 2015 Zabie has come on strong in recruiting circles and looks to have Division I opportunities of his own following his senior season

ldquoIf you have good quarterback play and a solid defense yoursquore going to win gamesrdquo Dodge said ldquoWe have those in 2016 and wersquore excited about where we are and where wersquore headedrdquo

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

Westlake Varsity Footballby Joe Taylor

The Westlake Chaparrals played in 16 football games in 2015 and although the Chaps fell short to North Shore in the State Final Head Coach Todd Dodge looks fondly on the experience his pro-gram gained last seasonrsquos long playoff run

ldquoA bunch of our young guys who started the year on junior varsity got to experience the atmosphere of some special gamesrdquo Dodge said ldquoThey also practiced and played a bunch of footballrdquo The 2016 squad will need to channel those moments when it opens its season with the defending state champion Katy Tigers at Chaparral Stadium

UIL realignment has moved Westlake rival Lake Travis and 6A newcomers Vandegrift Vista Ridge and Leander into District 25-6A and back into Region IV

ldquoWersquore excited about the challengerdquo Dodge said ldquoIrsquove competed against schools like Leander Vista Ridge and Vandegrift when I was at Marble Falls Itrsquoll be nice to compete against them with a 6A football teamrdquo

Westlake returns nine starters and while the loss of three three-year starters in the secondary senior bandit linebacker Barrett Chambers is ready to lead the back end of the defense Junior Hayden Bohlmann has continued to improve from his stint as a back-up linebacker during his sophomore campaign and will play next to the very talented Levi Jones The son of former Dallas Cowboy Robert Jones is on a mission to get better and his efforts during the 2015 playoff run has landed the senior linebacker nu-merous Division I scholarship offers from across the nation

The strength of the defense is up front as Sam Duffy and Jarrod Jacobson return to the defensive line Kade Ball and Braden Cassi-ty enjoyed playoff playing time and will give defensive coordinator Tony Salazar some size on the line

17

FootbAll Preview

In 27 starts Sam Ehlinger is statistically the best quarterback in Westlake history Ehlinger now owns all the passing records as he cruised by both Drew Brees and Nick Foles in 2015 That said the Texas bound senior quarterback will have a challenge as the Chaps will introduce a new band of receivers

ldquoSam is just scratching the surface and hersquos ready to get betterrdquo Dodge explained ldquoI know a lot of people from the outside looking in are wondering how thatrsquos possible after last year but hersquos already working His accuracy has improved tremendously and with new receivers hersquos motivated to making them betterrdquo

Andrew Boykin was the fourth option in last yearrsquos passing attack but he quietly caught 10 touchdown passes Boykin has emerged as a force on the outside with Noah Skrudland right on his heels as another option in Todd Dodgersquos ldquospread the wealthrdquo offense

While Sam Ehlinger led the rushing attack a year ago Westlakersquos depth was the talk of spring camp and will be a huge conversation piece this fall Izaiah Faz and Steele OrsquoConnor suffered injuries in 2015 and the Chaps were forced to improvise with Ehlinger and other speed threats like Noah Hodes In 2016 there are six viable running backs that will solidify the depth and give Westlake a chance to use their talented offensive line to do more than just protect Ehlinger

Linemen Stephan Zabie amp Joe Heironimus anchored the left side of an offensive line that was widely successful in 2015 Zabie has come on strong in recruiting circles and looks to have Division I opportunities of his own following his senior season

ldquoIf you have good quarterback play and a solid defense yoursquore going to win gamesrdquo Dodge said ldquoWe have those in 2016 and wersquore excited about where we are and where wersquore headedrdquo

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

Westlake Varsity Footballby Joe Taylor

The Westlake Chaparrals played in 16 football games in 2015 and although the Chaps fell short to North Shore in the State Final Head Coach Todd Dodge looks fondly on the experience his pro-gram gained last seasonrsquos long playoff run

ldquoA bunch of our young guys who started the year on junior varsity got to experience the atmosphere of some special gamesrdquo Dodge said ldquoThey also practiced and played a bunch of footballrdquo The 2016 squad will need to channel those moments when it opens its season with the defending state champion Katy Tigers at Chaparral Stadium

UIL realignment has moved Westlake rival Lake Travis and 6A newcomers Vandegrift Vista Ridge and Leander into District 25-6A and back into Region IV

ldquoWersquore excited about the challengerdquo Dodge said ldquoIrsquove competed against schools like Leander Vista Ridge and Vandegrift when I was at Marble Falls Itrsquoll be nice to compete against them with a 6A football teamrdquo

Westlake returns nine starters and while the loss of three three-year starters in the secondary senior bandit linebacker Barrett Chambers is ready to lead the back end of the defense Junior Hayden Bohlmann has continued to improve from his stint as a back-up linebacker during his sophomore campaign and will play next to the very talented Levi Jones The son of former Dallas Cowboy Robert Jones is on a mission to get better and his efforts during the 2015 playoff run has landed the senior linebacker nu-merous Division I scholarship offers from across the nation

The strength of the defense is up front as Sam Duffy and Jarrod Jacobson return to the defensive line Kade Ball and Braden Cassi-ty enjoyed playoff playing time and will give defensive coordinator Tony Salazar some size on the line

17

FootbAll Preview

In 27 starts Sam Ehlinger is statistically the best quarterback in Westlake history Ehlinger now owns all the passing records as he cruised by both Drew Brees and Nick Foles in 2015 That said the Texas bound senior quarterback will have a challenge as the Chaps will introduce a new band of receivers

ldquoSam is just scratching the surface and hersquos ready to get betterrdquo Dodge explained ldquoI know a lot of people from the outside looking in are wondering how thatrsquos possible after last year but hersquos already working His accuracy has improved tremendously and with new receivers hersquos motivated to making them betterrdquo

Andrew Boykin was the fourth option in last yearrsquos passing attack but he quietly caught 10 touchdown passes Boykin has emerged as a force on the outside with Noah Skrudland right on his heels as another option in Todd Dodgersquos ldquospread the wealthrdquo offense

While Sam Ehlinger led the rushing attack a year ago Westlakersquos depth was the talk of spring camp and will be a huge conversation piece this fall Izaiah Faz and Steele OrsquoConnor suffered injuries in 2015 and the Chaps were forced to improvise with Ehlinger and other speed threats like Noah Hodes In 2016 there are six viable running backs that will solidify the depth and give Westlake a chance to use their talented offensive line to do more than just protect Ehlinger

Linemen Stephan Zabie amp Joe Heironimus anchored the left side of an offensive line that was widely successful in 2015 Zabie has come on strong in recruiting circles and looks to have Division I opportunities of his own following his senior season

ldquoIf you have good quarterback play and a solid defense yoursquore going to win gamesrdquo Dodge said ldquoWe have those in 2016 and wersquore excited about where we are and where wersquore headedrdquo

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

Westlake Varsity Footballby Joe Taylor

The Westlake Chaparrals played in 16 football games in 2015 and although the Chaps fell short to North Shore in the State Final Head Coach Todd Dodge looks fondly on the experience his pro-gram gained last seasonrsquos long playoff run

ldquoA bunch of our young guys who started the year on junior varsity got to experience the atmosphere of some special gamesrdquo Dodge said ldquoThey also practiced and played a bunch of footballrdquo The 2016 squad will need to channel those moments when it opens its season with the defending state champion Katy Tigers at Chaparral Stadium

UIL realignment has moved Westlake rival Lake Travis and 6A newcomers Vandegrift Vista Ridge and Leander into District 25-6A and back into Region IV

ldquoWersquore excited about the challengerdquo Dodge said ldquoIrsquove competed against schools like Leander Vista Ridge and Vandegrift when I was at Marble Falls Itrsquoll be nice to compete against them with a 6A football teamrdquo

Westlake returns nine starters and while the loss of three three-year starters in the secondary senior bandit linebacker Barrett Chambers is ready to lead the back end of the defense Junior Hayden Bohlmann has continued to improve from his stint as a back-up linebacker during his sophomore campaign and will play next to the very talented Levi Jones The son of former Dallas Cowboy Robert Jones is on a mission to get better and his efforts during the 2015 playoff run has landed the senior linebacker nu-merous Division I scholarship offers from across the nation

The strength of the defense is up front as Sam Duffy and Jarrod Jacobson return to the defensive line Kade Ball and Braden Cassi-ty enjoyed playoff playing time and will give defensive coordinator Tony Salazar some size on the line

17

FootbAll Preview

In 27 starts Sam Ehlinger is statistically the best quarterback in Westlake history Ehlinger now owns all the passing records as he cruised by both Drew Brees and Nick Foles in 2015 That said the Texas bound senior quarterback will have a challenge as the Chaps will introduce a new band of receivers

ldquoSam is just scratching the surface and hersquos ready to get betterrdquo Dodge explained ldquoI know a lot of people from the outside looking in are wondering how thatrsquos possible after last year but hersquos already working His accuracy has improved tremendously and with new receivers hersquos motivated to making them betterrdquo

Andrew Boykin was the fourth option in last yearrsquos passing attack but he quietly caught 10 touchdown passes Boykin has emerged as a force on the outside with Noah Skrudland right on his heels as another option in Todd Dodgersquos ldquospread the wealthrdquo offense

While Sam Ehlinger led the rushing attack a year ago Westlakersquos depth was the talk of spring camp and will be a huge conversation piece this fall Izaiah Faz and Steele OrsquoConnor suffered injuries in 2015 and the Chaps were forced to improvise with Ehlinger and other speed threats like Noah Hodes In 2016 there are six viable running backs that will solidify the depth and give Westlake a chance to use their talented offensive line to do more than just protect Ehlinger

Linemen Stephan Zabie amp Joe Heironimus anchored the left side of an offensive line that was widely successful in 2015 Zabie has come on strong in recruiting circles and looks to have Division I opportunities of his own following his senior season

ldquoIf you have good quarterback play and a solid defense yoursquore going to win gamesrdquo Dodge said ldquoWe have those in 2016 and wersquore excited about where we are and where wersquore headedrdquo

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

Defensively Chaps defender Ryan Ney kept Georgetownrsquos Foster to just 4 total shots Excellent work on GBrsquos and overall solid defense from the LSM group of Jones Liddy Miles Sigel and Thomas Rousseau kept the Eagles from flying Close defenders Ryan Ney Noah Fornier and David Dickerson did a great job of creating turnovers and getting the ball to the offense on numerous fast breaks

Player of the game was Rob Soluri who posted 10 huge saves 6 of them in the 3rd quarter alone - these key saves deflated the George-town offense and assured victory

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

Westlake Varsity Footballby Joe Taylor

The Westlake Chaparrals played in 16 football games in 2015 and although the Chaps fell short to North Shore in the State Final Head Coach Todd Dodge looks fondly on the experience his pro-gram gained last seasonrsquos long playoff run

ldquoA bunch of our young guys who started the year on junior varsity got to experience the atmosphere of some special gamesrdquo Dodge said ldquoThey also practiced and played a bunch of footballrdquo The 2016 squad will need to channel those moments when it opens its season with the defending state champion Katy Tigers at Chaparral Stadium

UIL realignment has moved Westlake rival Lake Travis and 6A newcomers Vandegrift Vista Ridge and Leander into District 25-6A and back into Region IV

ldquoWersquore excited about the challengerdquo Dodge said ldquoIrsquove competed against schools like Leander Vista Ridge and Vandegrift when I was at Marble Falls Itrsquoll be nice to compete against them with a 6A football teamrdquo

Westlake returns nine starters and while the loss of three three-year starters in the secondary senior bandit linebacker Barrett Chambers is ready to lead the back end of the defense Junior Hayden Bohlmann has continued to improve from his stint as a back-up linebacker during his sophomore campaign and will play next to the very talented Levi Jones The son of former Dallas Cowboy Robert Jones is on a mission to get better and his efforts during the 2015 playoff run has landed the senior linebacker nu-merous Division I scholarship offers from across the nation

The strength of the defense is up front as Sam Duffy and Jarrod Jacobson return to the defensive line Kade Ball and Braden Cassi-ty enjoyed playoff playing time and will give defensive coordinator Tony Salazar some size on the line

17

FootbAll Preview

In 27 starts Sam Ehlinger is statistically the best quarterback in Westlake history Ehlinger now owns all the passing records as he cruised by both Drew Brees and Nick Foles in 2015 That said the Texas bound senior quarterback will have a challenge as the Chaps will introduce a new band of receivers

ldquoSam is just scratching the surface and hersquos ready to get betterrdquo Dodge explained ldquoI know a lot of people from the outside looking in are wondering how thatrsquos possible after last year but hersquos already working His accuracy has improved tremendously and with new receivers hersquos motivated to making them betterrdquo

Andrew Boykin was the fourth option in last yearrsquos passing attack but he quietly caught 10 touchdown passes Boykin has emerged as a force on the outside with Noah Skrudland right on his heels as another option in Todd Dodgersquos ldquospread the wealthrdquo offense

While Sam Ehlinger led the rushing attack a year ago Westlakersquos depth was the talk of spring camp and will be a huge conversation piece this fall Izaiah Faz and Steele OrsquoConnor suffered injuries in 2015 and the Chaps were forced to improvise with Ehlinger and other speed threats like Noah Hodes In 2016 there are six viable running backs that will solidify the depth and give Westlake a chance to use their talented offensive line to do more than just protect Ehlinger

Linemen Stephan Zabie amp Joe Heironimus anchored the left side of an offensive line that was widely successful in 2015 Zabie has come on strong in recruiting circles and looks to have Division I opportunities of his own following his senior season

ldquoIf you have good quarterback play and a solid defense yoursquore going to win gamesrdquo Dodge said ldquoWe have those in 2016 and wersquore excited about where we are and where wersquore headedrdquo

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

Westlake Varsity Footballby Joe Taylor

The Westlake Chaparrals played in 16 football games in 2015 and although the Chaps fell short to North Shore in the State Final Head Coach Todd Dodge looks fondly on the experience his pro-gram gained last seasonrsquos long playoff run

ldquoA bunch of our young guys who started the year on junior varsity got to experience the atmosphere of some special gamesrdquo Dodge said ldquoThey also practiced and played a bunch of footballrdquo The 2016 squad will need to channel those moments when it opens its season with the defending state champion Katy Tigers at Chaparral Stadium

UIL realignment has moved Westlake rival Lake Travis and 6A newcomers Vandegrift Vista Ridge and Leander into District 25-6A and back into Region IV

ldquoWersquore excited about the challengerdquo Dodge said ldquoIrsquove competed against schools like Leander Vista Ridge and Vandegrift when I was at Marble Falls Itrsquoll be nice to compete against them with a 6A football teamrdquo

Westlake returns nine starters and while the loss of three three-year starters in the secondary senior bandit linebacker Barrett Chambers is ready to lead the back end of the defense Junior Hayden Bohlmann has continued to improve from his stint as a back-up linebacker during his sophomore campaign and will play next to the very talented Levi Jones The son of former Dallas Cowboy Robert Jones is on a mission to get better and his efforts during the 2015 playoff run has landed the senior linebacker nu-merous Division I scholarship offers from across the nation

The strength of the defense is up front as Sam Duffy and Jarrod Jacobson return to the defensive line Kade Ball and Braden Cassi-ty enjoyed playoff playing time and will give defensive coordinator Tony Salazar some size on the line

FootbAll Preview

In 27 starts Sam Ehlinger is statistically the best quarterback in Westlake history Ehlinger now owns all the passing records as he cruised by both Drew Brees and Nick Foles in 2015 That said the Texas bound senior quarterback will have a challenge as the Chaps will introduce a new band of receivers

ldquoSam is just scratching the surface and hersquos ready to get betterrdquo Dodge explained ldquoI know a lot of people from the outside looking in are wondering how thatrsquos possible after last year but hersquos already working His accuracy has improved tremendously and with new receivers hersquos motivated to making them betterrdquo

Andrew Boykin was the fourth option in last yearrsquos passing attack but he quietly caught 10 touchdown passes Boykin has emerged as a force on the outside with Noah Skrudland right on his heels as another option in Todd Dodgersquos ldquospread the wealthrdquo offense

While Sam Ehlinger led the rushing attack a year ago Westlakersquos depth was the talk of spring camp and will be a huge conversation piece this fall Izaiah Faz and Steele OrsquoConnor suffered injuries in 2015 and the Chaps were forced to improvise with Ehlinger and other speed threats like Noah Hodes In 2016 there are six viable running backs that will solidify the depth and give Westlake a chance to use their talented offensive line to do more than just protect Ehlinger

Linemen Stephan Zabie amp Joe Heironimus anchored the left side of an offensive line that was widely successful in 2015 Zabie has come on strong in recruiting circles and looks to have Division I opportunities of his own following his senior season

ldquoIf you have good quarterback play and a solid defense yoursquore going to win gamesrdquo Dodge said ldquoWe have those in 2016 and wersquore excited about where we are and where wersquore headedrdquo

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

Westlake Varsity Footballby Joe Taylor

The Westlake Chaparrals played in 16 football games in 2015 and although the Chaps fell short to North Shore in the State Final Head Coach Todd Dodge looks fondly on the experience his pro-gram gained last seasonrsquos long playoff run

ldquoA bunch of our young guys who started the year on junior varsity got to experience the atmosphere of some special gamesrdquo Dodge said ldquoThey also practiced and played a bunch of footballrdquo The 2016 squad will need to channel those moments when it opens its season with the defending state champion Katy Tigers at Chaparral Stadium

UIL realignment has moved Westlake rival Lake Travis and 6A newcomers Vandegrift Vista Ridge and Leander into District 25-6A and back into Region IV

ldquoWersquore excited about the challengerdquo Dodge said ldquoIrsquove competed against schools like Leander Vista Ridge and Vandegrift when I was at Marble Falls Itrsquoll be nice to compete against them with a 6A football teamrdquo

Westlake returns nine starters and while the loss of three three-year starters in the secondary senior bandit linebacker Barrett Chambers is ready to lead the back end of the defense Junior Hayden Bohlmann has continued to improve from his stint as a back-up linebacker during his sophomore campaign and will play next to the very talented Levi Jones The son of former Dallas Cowboy Robert Jones is on a mission to get better and his efforts during the 2015 playoff run has landed the senior linebacker nu-merous Division I scholarship offers from across the nation

The strength of the defense is up front as Sam Duffy and Jarrod Jacobson return to the defensive line Kade Ball and Braden Cassi-ty enjoyed playoff playing time and will give defensive coordinator Tony Salazar some size on the line

17

FootbAll Preview

In 27 starts Sam Ehlinger is statistically the best quarterback in Westlake history Ehlinger now owns all the passing records as he cruised by both Drew Brees and Nick Foles in 2015 That said the Texas bound senior quarterback will have a challenge as the Chaps will introduce a new band of receivers

ldquoSam is just scratching the surface and hersquos ready to get betterrdquo Dodge explained ldquoI know a lot of people from the outside looking in are wondering how thatrsquos possible after last year but hersquos already working His accuracy has improved tremendously and with new receivers hersquos motivated to making them betterrdquo

Andrew Boykin was the fourth option in last yearrsquos passing attack but he quietly caught 10 touchdown passes Boykin has emerged as a force on the outside with Noah Skrudland right on his heels as another option in Todd Dodgersquos ldquospread the wealthrdquo offense

While Sam Ehlinger led the rushing attack a year ago Westlakersquos depth was the talk of spring camp and will be a huge conversation piece this fall Izaiah Faz and Steele OrsquoConnor suffered injuries in 2015 and the Chaps were forced to improvise with Ehlinger and other speed threats like Noah Hodes In 2016 there are six viable running backs that will solidify the depth and give Westlake a chance to use their talented offensive line to do more than just protect Ehlinger

Linemen Stephan Zabie amp Joe Heironimus anchored the left side of an offensive line that was widely successful in 2015 Zabie has come on strong in recruiting circles and looks to have Division I opportunities of his own following his senior season

ldquoIf you have good quarterback play and a solid defense yoursquore going to win gamesrdquo Dodge said ldquoWe have those in 2016 and wersquore excited about where we are and where wersquore headedrdquo

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

Westlake Varsity Footballby Joe Taylor

The Westlake Chaparrals played in 16 football games in 2015 and although the Chaps fell short to North Shore in the State Final Head Coach Todd Dodge looks fondly on the experience his pro-gram gained last seasonrsquos long playoff run

ldquoA bunch of our young guys who started the year on junior varsity got to experience the atmosphere of some special gamesrdquo Dodge said ldquoThey also practiced and played a bunch of footballrdquo The 2016 squad will need to channel those moments when it opens its season with the defending state champion Katy Tigers at Chaparral Stadium

UIL realignment has moved Westlake rival Lake Travis and 6A newcomers Vandegrift Vista Ridge and Leander into District 25-6A and back into Region IV

ldquoWersquore excited about the challengerdquo Dodge said ldquoIrsquove competed against schools like Leander Vista Ridge and Vandegrift when I was at Marble Falls Itrsquoll be nice to compete against them with a 6A football teamrdquo

Westlake returns nine starters and while the loss of three three-year starters in the secondary senior bandit linebacker Barrett Chambers is ready to lead the back end of the defense Junior Hayden Bohlmann has continued to improve from his stint as a back-up linebacker during his sophomore campaign and will play next to the very talented Levi Jones The son of former Dallas Cowboy Robert Jones is on a mission to get better and his efforts during the 2015 playoff run has landed the senior linebacker nu-merous Division I scholarship offers from across the nation

The strength of the defense is up front as Sam Duffy and Jarrod Jacobson return to the defensive line Kade Ball and Braden Cassi-ty enjoyed playoff playing time and will give defensive coordinator Tony Salazar some size on the line

17

FootbAll Preview

In 27 starts Sam Ehlinger is statistically the best quarterback in Westlake history Ehlinger now owns all the passing records as he cruised by both Drew Brees and Nick Foles in 2015 That said the Texas bound senior quarterback will have a challenge as the Chaps will introduce a new band of receivers

ldquoSam is just scratching the surface and hersquos ready to get betterrdquo Dodge explained ldquoI know a lot of people from the outside looking in are wondering how thatrsquos possible after last year but hersquos already working His accuracy has improved tremendously and with new receivers hersquos motivated to making them betterrdquo

Andrew Boykin was the fourth option in last yearrsquos passing attack but he quietly caught 10 touchdown passes Boykin has emerged as a force on the outside with Noah Skrudland right on his heels as another option in Todd Dodgersquos ldquospread the wealthrdquo offense

While Sam Ehlinger led the rushing attack a year ago Westlakersquos depth was the talk of spring camp and will be a huge conversation piece this fall Izaiah Faz and Steele OrsquoConnor suffered injuries in 2015 and the Chaps were forced to improvise with Ehlinger and other speed threats like Noah Hodes In 2016 there are six viable running backs that will solidify the depth and give Westlake a chance to use their talented offensive line to do more than just protect Ehlinger

Linemen Stephan Zabie amp Joe Heironimus anchored the left side of an offensive line that was widely successful in 2015 Zabie has come on strong in recruiting circles and looks to have Division I opportunities of his own following his senior season

ldquoIf you have good quarterback play and a solid defense yoursquore going to win gamesrdquo Dodge said ldquoWe have those in 2016 and wersquore excited about where we are and where wersquore headedrdquo

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

Super Regional Summary Round 2 Chaps D2 (9) vs McKinney (12) The 2016 DII squads run for the state championship ended on Sunday in a battle with a tough McKinney squad where the Chaps fell 12-9 Tough breaks and a possession disadvantage in faceoffs made a huge difference in this game but despite this the young DII team fought to the last whistle A tough end to the season but this squad advanced farther than any other D2 team has gone

Offensively the Chaps were lead with three goals by Lake De La Fuente and Ryan Flaherty with two goals Matt Andreo Collin Swallow and Preston Lynch each scored a goal apiece and Reid Vender showed his teamwork logging three assists Westlake was able to fight through the McKinney zone defense in expert fashion taking a 9-7 lead in the third quarter Ultimately the possession disadvantage was insur-mountable and McKinney was able to pull away in the fourth quarter Defensively Rob Soluri once again proved to be the anchor of the defense logging 12 saves Miles Sigel and Thomas Rousseau each snagged three ground balls apiece and the Chaps proved formidable against a well drilled McKinney squad Player of the game-- Lake De La Fuente

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

FootbAll Preview

In 27 starts Sam Ehlinger is statistically the best quarterback in Westlake history Ehlinger now owns all the passing records as he cruised by both Drew Brees and Nick Foles in 2015 That said the Texas bound senior quarterback will have a challenge as the Chaps will introduce a new band of receivers

ldquoSam is just scratching the surface and hersquos ready to get betterrdquo Dodge explained ldquoI know a lot of people from the outside looking in are wondering how thatrsquos possible after last year but hersquos already working His accuracy has improved tremendously and with new receivers hersquos motivated to making them betterrdquo

Andrew Boykin was the fourth option in last yearrsquos passing attack but he quietly caught 10 touchdown passes Boykin has emerged as a force on the outside with Noah Skrudland right on his heels as another option in Todd Dodgersquos ldquospread the wealthrdquo offense

While Sam Ehlinger led the rushing attack a year ago Westlakersquos depth was the talk of spring camp and will be a huge conversation piece this fall Izaiah Faz and Steele OrsquoConnor suffered injuries in 2015 and the Chaps were forced to improvise with Ehlinger and other speed threats like Noah Hodes In 2016 there are six viable running backs that will solidify the depth and give Westlake a chance to use their talented offensive line to do more than just protect Ehlinger

Linemen Stephan Zabie amp Joe Heironimus anchored the left side of an offensive line that was widely successful in 2015 Zabie has come on strong in recruiting circles and looks to have Division I opportunities of his own following his senior season

ldquoIf you have good quarterback play and a solid defense yoursquore going to win gamesrdquo Dodge said ldquoWe have those in 2016 and wersquore excited about where we are and where wersquore headedrdquo

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

Super Regional Summary Round 2 Chaps D2 (9) vs McKinney (12) The 2016 DII squads run for the state championship ended on Sunday in a battle with a tough McKinney squad where the Chaps fell 12-9 Tough breaks and a possession disadvantage in faceoffs made a huge difference in this game but despite this the young DII team fought to the last whistle A tough end to the season but this squad advanced farther than any other D2 team has gone

Offensively the Chaps were lead with three goals by Lake De La Fuente and Ryan Flaherty with two goals Matt Andreo Collin Swallow and Preston Lynch each scored a goal apiece and Reid Vender showed his teamwork logging three assists Westlake was able to fight through the McKinney zone defense in expert fashion taking a 9-7 lead in the third quarter Ultimately the possession disadvantage was insur-mountable and McKinney was able to pull away in the fourth quarter Defensively Rob Soluri once again proved to be the anchor of the defense logging 12 saves Miles Sigel and Thomas Rousseau each snagged three ground balls apiece and the Chaps proved formidable against a well drilled McKinney squad Player of the game-- Lake De La Fuente

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

Player of the game was Rob Soluri who posted 10 huge saves 6 of them in the 3rd quarter alone - these key saves deflated the George-town offense and assured victory

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

Player of the game was Rob Soluri who posted 10 huge saves 6 of them in the 3rd quarter alone - these key saves deflated the George-town offense and assured victory

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

Player of the game was Rob Soluri who posted 10 huge saves 6 of them in the 3rd quarter alone - these key saves deflated the George-town offense and assured victory

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

Player of the game was Rob Soluri who posted 10 huge saves 6 of them in the 3rd quarter alone - these key saves deflated the George-town offense and assured victory

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

Player of the game was Rob Soluri who posted 10 huge saves 6 of them in the 3rd quarter alone - these key saves deflated the George-town offense and assured victory

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

Player of the game was Rob Soluri who posted 10 huge saves 6 of them in the 3rd quarter alone - these key saves deflated the George-town offense and assured victory

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

Player of the game was Rob Soluri who posted 10 huge saves 6 of them in the 3rd quarter alone - these key saves deflated the George-town offense and assured victory

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

Player of the game was Rob Soluri who posted 10 huge saves 6 of them in the 3rd quarter alone - these key saves deflated the George-town offense and assured victory

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

Player of the game was Rob Soluri who posted 10 huge saves 6 of them in the 3rd quarter alone - these key saves deflated the George-town offense and assured victory

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

Player of the game was Rob Soluri who posted 10 huge saves 6 of them in the 3rd quarter alone - these key saves deflated the George-town offense and assured victory

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

Player of the game was Rob Soluri who posted 10 huge saves 6 of them in the 3rd quarter alone - these key saves deflated the George-town offense and assured victory

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

Player of the game was Rob Soluri who posted 10 huge saves 6 of them in the 3rd quarter alone - these key saves deflated the George-town offense and assured victory

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

Player of the game was Rob Soluri who posted 10 huge saves 6 of them in the 3rd quarter alone - these key saves deflated the George-town offense and assured victory

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

Player of the game was Rob Soluri who posted 10 huge saves 6 of them in the 3rd quarter alone - these key saves deflated the George-town offense and assured victory

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

Player of the game was Rob Soluri who posted 10 huge saves 6 of them in the 3rd quarter alone - these key saves deflated the George-town offense and assured victory

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

Player of the game was Rob Soluri who posted 10 huge saves 6 of them in the 3rd quarter alone - these key saves deflated the George-town offense and assured victory

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

Player of the game was Rob Soluri who posted 10 huge saves 6 of them in the 3rd quarter alone - these key saves deflated the George-town offense and assured victory

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

Player of the game was Rob Soluri who posted 10 huge saves 6 of them in the 3rd quarter alone - these key saves deflated the George-town offense and assured victory

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

gtgtgtNUTRITIONBY MONICA KANE RD LMT NCTMBthebalancedbeinghotmailcom

Quinoa has been growing in popularity over the past few years Many have heard of it Some have tried it Few really know much about it

Quinoa is relatively new to traditional American cook-ing but is actually known as an ldquoancient grainrdquo It has been an essential food in South America for thousands of years It is a ldquoseedrdquo that was grown high in the Andes Mountains and was a sacred food to the Incas Known by the Incas as the ldquomother grainrdquo quinoa is not only rich in history but also in nutrients making it an excit-ing addition to your healthy food selections

The nutrient profile of quinoa is impressive Most impressive is the protein provided by quinoa Qui-noa contains all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein source Essential amino acids are those building blocks of protein that your body is not capable of producing and therefore must be eaten to ensure adequate muscle building and physiologic performance

Another bragging point for quinoa is the fiber content Although technically a seed quinoa is still considered a whole grain

Quinoa interestingly enough contains as much as twice the amount of fiber of traditional whole grains Fiber is beneficial to help promote a healthy heart and gastrointestinal tract and helps to balance blood sugar levels

Need I say more

Probably not but why stop now Quinoa contains multiple vitamins minerals and powerful antioxi-dants Plant based antioxidants protect against inflam-mation and cellular damage which have been associat-ed with reduction of cancer risk Diets rich in vitamins and anti oxidants are also associated with an enhanced immune system and enhanced mood stability

Last but certainly not least quinoa is gluten free Thatrsquos right many whole grains and cereals contain gluten ndash a plant based protein that can cause illness in those that suffer from an allergy to gluten also known as celiac disease

Many people faced with the need to follow a gluten free diet feel limited in their options when it comes to whole grains and cereals

Quinoa is a delicious and gluten free ldquowhole grainrdquo that can be used in cooking as well as baking giving just one more reason to give quinoa a closer look

With so many wonderful attributes quinoa needs only one last endorsement Quinoa is quick and easy to cook It is widely available in most grocery stores and markets as either white quinoa red quinoa or black quinoa It has a delicious and mild nutty taste and texture

Quinoa pairs well in savory dishes such as casseroles hearty warm or cold salads and stuffed peppers Quinoa also pairs with sweet dishes such as breakfast breads pancakes and warm cereal creations

Take a step out of your routine power pack your diet and pick up some quinoa today

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

Player of the game was Rob Soluri who posted 10 huge saves 6 of them in the 3rd quarter alone - these key saves deflated the George-town offense and assured victory

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

D2 LAX Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps have enjoyed a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and defeating the defend-ing District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016

This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse Leage (THSLL) playoffs 572016 at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock

The Chaps success is based on a stingy defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 team roster is made up of all sophomores and freshman and these Chaps face more experienced teams every game and continue to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program

Overall goal keeeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with highlight performanc-es against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production

Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum in to the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

Super Regional Summary Round 2 Chaps D2 (9) vs McKinney (12) The 2016 DII squads run for the state championship ended on Sunday in a battle with a tough McKinney squad where the Chaps fell 12-9 Tough breaks and a possession disadvantage in faceoffs made a huge difference in this game but despite this the young DII team fought to the last whistle A tough end to the season but this squad advanced farther than any other D2 team has gone

Offensively the Chaps were lead with three goals by Lake De La Fuente and Ryan Flaherty with two goals Matt Andreo Collin Swallow and Preston Lynch each scored a goal apiece and Reid Vender showed his teamwork logging three assists Westlake was able to fight through the McKinney zone defense in expert fashion taking a 9-7 lead in the third quarter Ultimately the possession disadvantage was insur-mountable and McKinney was able to pull away in the fourth quarter Defensively Rob Soluri once again proved to be the anchor of the defense logging 12 saves Miles Sigel and Thomas Rousseau each snagged three ground balls apiece and the Chaps proved formidable against a well drilled McKinney squad Player of the game-- Lake De La Fuente

Super Regional Summary Round 1 Chaps D2 (11) vs Magnolia (4) The D2 Chaps squad overpowered the Magnolia squad 11-4 to advance to the regional finals The game was never in doubt as the Chaps streaked to an 8-0 halftime lead The Chaps never looked back and the team began preparation for the finals early Offensively multiple players contributed to the offensive effort Collin Swallow led the way with three goals and one assist while Lake De La Fuente Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender each scored two on the day Ryan Flaherty tossed in one goal and one assist while Preston Lynch proved to be both a scoring and feeding threat with one goal and two assists Defensively the Chaps defense created numerous turnovers and followed it up by winning the ground ball battle Ryan Ney Noah Fornier and David Dickerson created a wall the Magnolia squad was not able to penetrate Goalie Rob Soluri saved the ball 67 of the time and the defense worked magnificently to get the ball to the offensive end successfully clear-ing the ball 92 of the time Kyle Lindley made it to his first lacrosse game since being released from the hospital Kyle inspired the team to perform with strength and courage and is the D2 Player of the Game

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

LAX DI Season SummaryHead Coach Chris Delfausse

The Chaps DI team had a very successful regular season going undefeated in district play and securing their 5th consecutive District Championship Overall the Chaps have 6 District Titles and with the growth of la-crosse in the Austin and San Antonio areas the competition is getting stronger every year

With the District Title the Chaps secured a bid in the quarter final round of the ATX Super Regionals hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock where they beat St Marks 10-6 and qualified the Chaps for the State Final Four playoffs in Allen TX

In the first round of the Final Four the Chaps play defending state champ Highland Park on Saturday With a win over HP the Chaps face the winner of Dallas Jesuit vs Episcopal School of Dallas in the State Finals on Sunday

The Chaps success this year was built on a tough physical defense and a well balanced offensive threat The defense only gave up an average of 676 goals per game while holding the majority of teams this season to single digit goals The offense scored an average of 11 goals per game and presented a scoring threat from multiple players throughout the year For opposing defenses it was tough to key in on one player as the Chaps scored from every position and had 8 players scoring in double digits this season

In spite of several player injuries through the season itrsquos been a strong year for the Chaps with 2 All Ameri-cans 3 Academic All Americans 4 All State 5 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

LAX D2 Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

D2 Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps enjoyed their most successful season yet going undefeated in district play and de-feating the defending District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016 This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carried this momentum into the ATX Super Regional playoffs hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) playoffs at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock to face Magnolia in the first round and McKinney in the second round The Chaps success is based on a stingy physical defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 roster is made up of all Sophomores and Freshmen and these Chaps faced more experienced older teams every game and continued to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program Overall goal keeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with high-light performances against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

Super Regional Summary Round 2 Chaps D2 (9) vs McKinney (12) The 2016 DII squads run for the state championship ended on Sunday in a battle with a tough McKinney squad where the Chaps fell 12-9 Tough breaks and a possession disadvantage in faceoffs made a huge difference in this game but despite this the young DII team fought to the last whistle A tough end to the season but this squad advanced farther than any other D2 team has gone

Offensively the Chaps were lead with three goals by Lake De La Fuente and Ryan Flaherty with two goals Matt Andreo Collin Swallow and Preston Lynch each scored a goal apiece and Reid Vender showed his teamwork logging three assists Westlake was able to fight through the McKinney zone defense in expert fashion taking a 9-7 lead in the third quarter Ultimately the possession disadvantage was insur-mountable and McKinney was able to pull away in the fourth quarter Defensively Rob Soluri once again proved to be the anchor of the defense logging 12 saves Miles Sigel and Thomas Rousseau each snagged three ground balls apiece and the Chaps proved formidable against a well drilled McKinney squad Player of the game-- Lake De La Fuente

Super Regional Summary Round 1 Chaps D2 (11) vs Magnolia (4) The D2 Chaps squad overpowered the Magnolia squad 11-4 to advance to the regional finals The game was never in doubt as the Chaps streaked to an 8-0 halftime lead The Chaps never looked back and the team began preparation for the finals early Offensively multiple players contributed to the offensive effort Collin Swallow led the way with three goals and one assist while Lake De La Fuente Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender each scored two on the day Ryan Flaherty tossed in one goal and one assist while Preston Lynch proved to be both a scoring and feeding threat with one goal and two assists Defensively the Chaps defense created numerous turnovers and followed it up by winning the ground ball battle Ryan Ney Noah Fornier and David Dickerson created a wall the Magnolia squad was not able to penetrate Goalie Rob Soluri saved the ball 67 of the time and the defense worked magnificently to get the ball to the offensive end successfully clear-ing the ball 92 of the time Kyle Lindley made it to his first lacrosse game since being released from the hospital Kyle inspired the team to perform with strength and courage and is the D2 Player of the Game

Super Regional Championship Summary WHS Chaps (10) vs St Marks (6)

The Chaps took control of the game in the first half jumping out to a 7-1 lead before half time led by a suffocating de-fense with great net minding by Jordan Hicks The tough faceoff play of Henry Womack allowed the Chaps to control the ball for the first half providing the offense plenty of opportunities to score Tate Young and Jake Nathan led the way for the offense with both players tallying 4 points apiece (3 goals and 1 assist each)

Defense wore out St Markrsquos with outstanding one on one defense by Sophomore Jacob Stoebner and some timely take-aways by Junior Defenseman Turner Hamlin Great Goalie play by Jordan Hicks and Drew Brown helped keep the St Marks offense off the board for much of the game

The Chaps extended their lead early in the 3rd quarter getting the first 2 goals of the second half to take a command-ing 9-1 lead St Markrsquos dug deep and rallied with 5 unanswered goals in the fight to catch up St Markrsquos offense hit their rhythm as the Chaps struggled to maintain possession on offense in the 4th as the clock wound down

With about 3 minutes to go Senior Will Hardin (1G 2A) found the back of the net to safely put the Chaps ahead Out-standing team play for the Chaps as they controlled the ball for the final minute to win the ATX Super Regionals and punch their ticket to their first State Semifinals in over 25 years

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

Super Regional Summary Round 2 Chaps D2 (9) vs McKinney (12) The 2016 DII squads run for the state championship ended on Sunday in a battle with a tough McKinney squad where the Chaps fell 12-9 Tough breaks and a possession disadvantage in faceoffs made a huge difference in this game but despite this the young DII team fought to the last whistle A tough end to the season but this squad advanced farther than any other D2 team has gone

Offensively the Chaps were lead with three goals by Lake De La Fuente and Ryan Flaherty with two goals Matt Andreo Collin Swallow and Preston Lynch each scored a goal apiece and Reid Vender showed his teamwork logging three assists Westlake was able to fight through the McKinney zone defense in expert fashion taking a 9-7 lead in the third quarter Ultimately the possession disadvantage was insur-mountable and McKinney was able to pull away in the fourth quarter Defensively Rob Soluri once again proved to be the anchor of the defense logging 12 saves Miles Sigel and Thomas Rousseau each snagged three ground balls apiece and the Chaps proved formidable against a well drilled McKinney squad Player of the game-- Lake De La Fuente

Super Regional Summary Round 1 Chaps D2 (11) vs Magnolia (4) The D2 Chaps squad overpowered the Magnolia squad 11-4 to advance to the regional finals The game was never in doubt as the Chaps streaked to an 8-0 halftime lead The Chaps never looked back and the team began preparation for the finals early Offensively multiple players contributed to the offensive effort Collin Swallow led the way with three goals and one assist while Lake De La Fuente Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender each scored two on the day Ryan Flaherty tossed in one goal and one assist while Preston Lynch proved to be both a scoring and feeding threat with one goal and two assists Defensively the Chaps defense created numerous turnovers and followed it up by winning the ground ball battle Ryan Ney Noah Fornier and David Dickerson created a wall the Magnolia squad was not able to penetrate Goalie Rob Soluri saved the ball 67 of the time and the defense worked magnificently to get the ball to the offensive end successfully clear-ing the ball 92 of the time Kyle Lindley made it to his first lacrosse game since being released from the hospital Kyle inspired the team to perform with strength and courage and is the D2 Player of the Game

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

LAX D2 Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton

D2 Season SummaryHead Coach Tom Keaton The 3 state ranked D2 Chaps enjoyed their most successful season yet going undefeated in district play and de-feating the defending District Champions the Georgetown Eagles in a 15-10 battle to win the Central Texas District Championship for 2016 This is the first District Championship for the D2 squad and the Chaps carried this momentum into the ATX Super Regional playoffs hosted by the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL) playoffs at Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock to face Magnolia in the first round and McKinney in the second round The Chaps success is based on a stingy physical defense who only allowed an average of 587 goals per game coupled with an electrifying offense that hammered the opposition with an average of 126 goals per game The D2 roster is made up of all Sophomores and Freshmen and these Chaps faced more experienced older teams every game and continued to rise to the challenge The district title is evidence of the great community commitment to the game as well as the strength of the program Overall goal keeper Rob Soluri has been the anchor of the defense saving over 62 of shots on the season with high-light performances against Woodlands where he had an incredible 20 saves on 23 shots (87) and 14 saves against 1 ranked Colleyville Offensively teamwork is the key as six players (Collin Swallow Preston Lynch Lake De La Fuente Ryan Flaherty Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender) ended the regular season in double digits for point production Itrsquos been a great year for the Chaps with 5 of our players earning All State Honors 3 All District and 2 Honorable Mentions They carry this momentum into the Texas High School Lacrosse League Playoffs this weekend

Super Regional Summary Round 2 Chaps D2 (9) vs McKinney (12) The 2016 DII squads run for the state championship ended on Sunday in a battle with a tough McKinney squad where the Chaps fell 12-9 Tough breaks and a possession disadvantage in faceoffs made a huge difference in this game but despite this the young DII team fought to the last whistle A tough end to the season but this squad advanced farther than any other D2 team has gone

Offensively the Chaps were lead with three goals by Lake De La Fuente and Ryan Flaherty with two goals Matt Andreo Collin Swallow and Preston Lynch each scored a goal apiece and Reid Vender showed his teamwork logging three assists Westlake was able to fight through the McKinney zone defense in expert fashion taking a 9-7 lead in the third quarter Ultimately the possession disadvantage was insur-mountable and McKinney was able to pull away in the fourth quarter Defensively Rob Soluri once again proved to be the anchor of the defense logging 12 saves Miles Sigel and Thomas Rousseau each snagged three ground balls apiece and the Chaps proved formidable against a well drilled McKinney squad Player of the game-- Lake De La Fuente

Super Regional Summary Round 1 Chaps D2 (11) vs Magnolia (4) The D2 Chaps squad overpowered the Magnolia squad 11-4 to advance to the regional finals The game was never in doubt as the Chaps streaked to an 8-0 halftime lead The Chaps never looked back and the team began preparation for the finals early Offensively multiple players contributed to the offensive effort Collin Swallow led the way with three goals and one assist while Lake De La Fuente Ian Horrigan and Reid Vender each scored two on the day Ryan Flaherty tossed in one goal and one assist while Preston Lynch proved to be both a scoring and feeding threat with one goal and two assists Defensively the Chaps defense created numerous turnovers and followed it up by winning the ground ball battle Ryan Ney Noah Fornier and David Dickerson created a wall the Magnolia squad was not able to penetrate Goalie Rob Soluri saved the ball 67 of the time and the defense worked magnificently to get the ball to the offensive end successfully clear-ing the ball 92 of the time Kyle Lindley made it to his first lacrosse game since being released from the hospital Kyle inspired the team to perform with strength and courage and is the D2 Player of the Game

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months

My Memories of Our Exchange Student BY JERRY SAULMAN

When I was in high school my familiy played host to a student via YFU Our exchange student came from Chile He certainly came with many new and exciting customs and ideas although with American television he hardly seemed very different at all in some ways

One thing I remember was the way that his attitudes about women were about to collide with my mother In his country women stayed home and took care of the house for the most part at least that was the life that he was familiar with As a result he had a bit of a shock when he found out he would have to dust and vacuum his own room make his bed and do his laundry just like the rest of the children in our home It took a little getting used to but he adjusted just fine

I remember that my mother cooked some of his family recipes sent by his mother That was definitely a highlight for me It was like my family got to take a short trip to Chile a few times during his stay It was very exciting

He also gave me a photo album with the cover engraved with ldquoRecuerdos de Chilerdquo which I still have to this day and is one of my most prized possessions

He was a year or so older than I was which made him like an instant big brother that I had never had before as I was the old-est Sometimes I miss that about those days I donrsquot have a big brother now and it was good to have one

I also remember that he loved to shop for clothes like most people I know these days who come to visit the US I thought he was about the coolest guy ever and yet I had to say goodbye to him I think I might have been a bit of a brat when he left but Irsquom pretty sure it was because (looking back) I was hurt that he left (even if it was for him to go home to his family) and it was hard to lose a big brother like that

Cristobal is out there somewhere I know probably very success-ful probably with a family who is maybe thinking of hosting an exchange student about now himself

Think about it and contact the YFU if your family might be interested in hosting a student or sending one on exchange You wonrsquot regret whatever happens It will be a fantastic experience for your family

Wersquoll be back in the fall with all those features of ChapsIllustrated that you loved from the fall including our guide to the Week-end Warriors a look at the season ahead and tons and tons of photos from the fall sports We canrsquot wait for football season to get here and we know you probably canrsquot either See you in a few months
