Rider Athletics celebrates student athletes, cheering and trainers

The Center Roughrider Athletic Department held its 2023-2024 Football, Cheer and Athletic Trainer banquet in January, honoring and recognizing the athletic community’s outstanding achievements.

In a night filled with great food and celebration, the athletic department demonstrated its commitment to developing not only exceptional players but also outstanding members of the community. The event served as a platform to acknowledge the hard work, dedication, and sportsmanship exhibited by the football players, cheer team, and athletic trainers throughout the year.

A highlight of the evening was the presentation of numerous awards to the football players and cheer team, recognizing their exceptional performances, leadership, and contributions. Recipients of these awards exemplified values instilled by the CISD Athletic Department, emphasizing the five pillars that are instilled in each athlete: grit, ownership, our process, connectivity and being a blessing.

The deep gratitude for the essential role played by the athletic trainers were commended for their tireless work behind the scenes. Their dedication to the well-being and safety of their fellow athletes does not go unnoticed, and the department is proud to have committed individuals contributing to success.

The Center Roughrider Athletic Department looks forward to another year of growth, both on and off the field, continuing to shape well-rounded individuals who go on to excel not only in athletic pursuits but also in the classroom and community.
