The Texan Battalion Leadership Team once again secured a first place finish in this year's College Options Foundation JROTC Leadership and Academic Bowl (JLAB).
  For the third consecutive year, the team now has an opportunity to compete in Washington.  Rayburn's Level II JLAB score defeated 305 of 313 other JROTCs within their eight-state JROTC alignment, making them one of only eight JROTCs to progress to the final competition in Washington, D.C.
  The Texans will compete against dozens of other JROTCs from around the world in the final "super bowl" leadership competition.  The results of the Washington competition determine the best JROTC Leadership Team among all JROTCs in the United States and overseas.
  Members of the 2011-2012 Texan Battalion Leadership Team are:  Team Captain, Cadet Major Kimberly Tamez, Cadet First Lieutenant Isboset Bautista, Cadet First Lieutenant Sidney Lopez, Cadet Sergeant First Class Selena Yzaguirre, Cadet Second Lieutenant Jessica Contreras and Cadet Sergeant First Class Karla Melgar.
