The Robinson Knights (1-2) looked for redemption against the East Bay Indians (3-0) following last week’s 40-6 loss to Plant (2-1) last Friday, but ultimately fell 35-12. The Indians took a commanding 22-0 lead early in the game, but the Knights put a touchdown on the board and went into the half trailing 22-6. The second half began with another East Bay touchdown, but Robinson responded by converting an East Bay fumble into a fourth quarter touchdown to put the score at 29-12. East Bay tacked on another touchdown late in the fourth quarter to end the game. The Knights will play Spoto High School in their first district game of the season next Friday, September 14, at Robinson High School (6311 S Lois Ave, 33616).

After years of hard work and determination, Robins $After years of hard work and determination, Robinson’s very own Dayana Dominguez (’24) received admission to Amherst University through the Questbridge Scholarship, a program that works to match underserved students with some of the nation’s best universities. Matching to a University through QuestBridge is an extremely competitive process. Roughly 30% of students who apply to the scholarship foundation become finalists, and only a small fraction of those finalists are able to match – students are asked to rank universities, and vice versa; if the rankings match, then the student is accepted – with a university. “The process is quite extensive and very rigorous,” said Marjan Deboskey, Dominguez’s Guidance Counselor. “She’s actually the first student that I have had, during my time with Hillsborough County, that has matched.” Balancing the considerably large application along with schoolwork and extracurricular activities required something a bit more than hard work: sacrifice. “To get to this point, I had to prioritize school above everything else, that meant sacrificing several hours of sleep and doing some mental gymnastics to push through the difficult parts,” Dominguez said. “The amount of things on my plate has been the hardest part, I have had to work a lot on my time management.” On top of her extreme academic workload, Dominguez is president and section leader of Orchestra, finance committee head in SGA, enjoys competing in Latin competitions and has responsibilities at home. “Outside of academics, I have always had a love for music. Orchestra has been my main focus since middle school, from concerts at school to all county and all state auditions,” Dominguez said. “I love competing at Latin regionals, states and nationals. I also have to mention the full-time job of being an older sister to a wild four-year-old at home.” To read the rest, visit knightwriters.org 📝: Vikram Sambasivan (@vikrams5509) 📸: Cecilia Cheng (@ceciliaacheng)$
