Four CFB Soccer Teams Advance to State Playoffs
Congratulations to all of our boys and girls soccer teams as they competed hard last Thursday & Friday to make CFB Proud!
The Ranchview Boys played tough. However, they came up short against Celina and ended their post season playoffs as Bi-District Finalist. Creekview Boys put up a gallant fight as they took Adamson through regulation time and overtime with a 0-0 score but lost in penalty kicks, which produced 10 shooters from each team until the game was decided in the favor of an Adamson power penalty kick. The Mustangs ended their season as Bi-District Finalist. We are still very proud of our Mustangs!
With four of our High Schools still in the playoffs – Creekview girls dominated Dallas Samuell by a score of 9-1 and moves onto the next round of playoffs – Way to Go Lady Stangs! The Ranchview Lady Wolves took care of Anna HS by a score of 3 – 0 as they too move onto the Area Round of the State Playoffs. The Lady Lions from Turner did not disappoint as they took care of Spruce right away with a score of 5-1 propelling these ladies to the next round of playoffs. The nail biter game of the night goes to the Turner Lions as they took on Kimball last Friday night which at the end of regulation time, they were tied which sent them into OT. With one minute left in OT, the Lions scored sending them onto the next round of playoffs!
Congratulations to Head Coach Shannon Moroney and her team of Mustangs, Head Coach Jason Riffe and his team of Lions, Head Coach Jonathan Hall and his team of Wolves, and Head Coach Juan Gomez and his team of Lions on all becoming Bi-District Champions last Friday, and now heading into the Area Round Tuesday night.

Statewide Birth Thru Age 5 Needs Assessment Survey
Commissioner of Education Mike Morath announced today that the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and the Texas Early Learning Council are conducting a statewide birth-five needs assessment to better understand the needs of those accessing, providing, and supporting early childhood programs and services for children ages birth to five.
As part of this needs assessment, the Council is conducting a statewide survey from March 25 through April 5, 2019.
The survey is intended for:
- Families;
- Staff of early childhood programs and services (childcare, Head Start, public prekindergarten, early childhood intervention (ECI) and home visiting);
- Staff of early childhood organizations (membership organizations, advocacy organizations, workforce boards, ESCs, etc.); and
- Community organizations/partners (businesses, health service providers, local governments, religious organizations, etc.).
The survey can be accessed at: https://tea.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cUeyDqwqLh2u8V7.
Questions intended for families and staff of early childhood programs and services are available in both English and Spanish.
The survey results and the statewide needs assessment will be utilized by the Texas Early Learning Council to establish a statewide strategic plan. The strategic plan will focus on improving coordination and collaboration, promoting partnerships, increasing quality, reducing duplicative efforts, efficiently utilizing resources, and easing a child’s transition into kindergarten.
The statewide birth-five needs assessment is required for the Preschool Development Grant awarded to Texas by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and U.S. Department of Education. This grant is a collaboration between the Texas Department of Agriculture, the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, the Texas Department of State Health Service, TEA, the Texas Head Start State Collaboration Office, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and the Texas Workforce Commission.
