(CLARIFICATION: The KSST posting on the Lady Cats 3-2 loss to Greenville done overnight Tuesday (October 16) or early Wednesday (October 17) morning included some misleading language about Lady Cats playoff chances. Despite the Tuesday loss, the Lady Cats are still very much in the playoff race. They are now tied for fourth place in the district standings with Royse City. Four teams will make the playoffs. All district teams still have two district games left and possible scenarios are numerous. The Lady Cats are at home Friday against Mount Pleasant. They end district play at Texas High on Tuesday.)
