hammack-on-kilgore
Wildcats Coach Jerrod Hammack says bi-district opponent Kilgore has to be good to have made the playoffs out of their tough 8-team district. Hammack says Kilgore features an ace lefthander. Hammack does not believe he is as tough as the Texas High lefties. Hammack says he has been drilling his team to hit the ball to all fields rather than trying to pull the ball. The Wildcats host Kilgore Friday night at 7 p.m. at Eagle Stadium. KSST will have the live broadcast and videotape the game for TV replay on Channel 18.

parole-on-hold
Just a day or two ago, Elaine Wells learned that a man in prison for participating in a brutal baseball bat attack on her son, would be paroled Tuesday. She had been leading opposition to the parole of Juan Gonzales Garcia and she got busy again. Her numerous phone calls and media coverage of her plight have apparently borne fruit as late Monday the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles placed the parole on hold so that they could study numerous letters written to them but that somehow never came to their attention. District Attorney Martin Braddy says Ms. Wells was also successful in getting the attention of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. When Garcia is eventually paroled, ICE plans to immediately deport him. Braddy says the situation is part of a bigger problem: the overcrowded prisons in Texas.

co-clean-up-recap
Hopkins County residents turned out in fewer numbers for this year’s County Clean Up Days last week and the county’s supervisor of the Environmental Department Jerry Pierce wants to know why. He is asking county residents to send him written comments on how the event could be better. Write Jerry Pierce at 105 Weaver Drive in Sulphur Springs, 75482. Still, four roll off containers in each precinct were filled and a whopping 2,600 tires were collected. Pierce says clean up days have resulted in less trash being dumped along roads and in creek beds.
