The BEST Basketball program in Mesquite!

The Runners with the MOST Stamina and Endurance!

At Berry, we use the game of Football to teach young men how to be successful at home, in the classroom, in the community, and in life after sports. We set the bar high and strive to be the standard of Excellence for Football in Mesquite.

Tennis is a UIL sport which requires active participation and students to pass all classes to compete.  We compete with all MISD middle schools.  We learn the fundamentals of tennis daily in a positive environment and the expectation is for the student-athlete to show growth in their tennis abilities continuously throughout the year.  The main goal is to prepare the student for high school competition.

Volleyball had an amazing season. Our 7th grade A team finished 3rd, 7th grade B team finished 2nd, and both 8th grade teams finished 1st in District. Our 8th grade A team went 22-0 in their Middle School career making them the first team in district history ever to do so. As a result of such a successful season, we are able to add 3 more banners to our wall!
