Friday, Feb. 11 has four teams in action: both soccer teams, baseball, and men’s basketball hosting senior night. 

With golf, tennis, and track and field all beginning their seasons next week, today is the least busy Friday game day over the next month.

Men’s baseball is scheduled to host Terrell on this Friday game day. 

Coach Jerrod Hammack and his squad take on the Tigers at Wildcats Park. 

That scrimmage tees off at 6 P.M. 

Sulphur Springs also hosts Bullard tomorrow, Saturday, Feb. 12 at 1 P.M. 

The Wildcats were scheduled to host Sherman Monday but that game was scrubbed due to poor field conditions. 

Moving over to basketball, Coach Brandon Shaver’s team hosts Mount Pleasant for senior night. 

Both teams come into Friday’s contest 8-2 in district play, with the winner in the driver’s seat for winning a district crown. 

That game tips off in the SSHS Main Gym on Friday, Feb. 11 at 7 P.M.
