What a season for our Graford Robotics teams 🤍🖤
This was our first true year competing at this level, and my awesome students proved that hard work and belief can take you far. We began the year with three teams. Two of those teams qualified for both VEX UIL State, competing against 1A through 3A schools across Texas, and VEX State, competing against 1A through 6A schools across our region. Over the course of five competitions, they continued to grow in confidence, skill, and teamwork.
Sprokets
Noah finished 9th in qualifying at VEX State against 1A through 6A schools. That is an incredible accomplishment. Sprokets also earned the Judges Award at the Bryson Showdown and Robot Skills Champion at the Iowa Park Invitational. He had two assistants throughout the season Case and Carson.
Raisin’ Kaines
Addi, Josh, and Amalia represented Graford with pride as a freshman team at state. They brought home Robot Skills Champion and the Think Award at the Bryson Invitational, I cannot wait to watch them grow!
Beyond the awards and rankings, we had amazing experiences and built lasting friendships. The VEX community is a special one to be part of. Students compete hard, cheer for one another, and learn from teams across the state. During this season, we also had the opportunity to experience NASA in Houston, with some of a friends we have made along the way. I am so proud of the time, commitment, and heart these students poured into this season. Thank you to our school, admin, families, my fellow vex coach friends, and our incredible sponsors for making it possible.
Graford Robotics had an amazing year. And we are just getting started. 🤍🖤
