Hopkins County's Heritage Park Hosts 2020 Events by the HC Historical Society
Although the landscape still looks like Winter, plans are afoot for an exciting Spring at Hopkins County Historical Park in Sulphur Springs. Utilizing the few dry days during January, Historical Society volunteers have worked to keep up with the routine mowing, trimming and cleaning of the grounds. “And we are in process of putting a new porch on the Smith-Gregg House”, stated Rick Wilson. “That’s been needed for a few months now, and we will have it ready for the first Spring visitors to the Park. One of the opening events will be the annual Dutch Oven Cooking Class set for Saturday April 25. This is for people who have a little knowledge about the craft or beginners who want to learn. We supply everything, and during the class, the teams will turn out a three-course meal in Dutch ovens. There’s only a small fee to register for the class. So, the students get their feet wet, and that whets their appetite for more cooking ‘on the ground’, a skill that nourished our pioneer ancestors as they settled this country. Dozens of Hopkins County’s best outdoor cooks got their start by taking this class!”
Carlie noted that the Atkins House building has become home to a restored loom for weaving, and the new addition will hopefully be ready to display demonstrations of weaving by Fall 2020. “This type of loom was necessary for pioneer housewives to create cloth for sewing clothing for their families”.
Rick continued “the Winniford House, a new multi-purpose building in the park, has been a wonderful addition to what is offered for our visitors. This modern facility allows us to host meetings and parties with spacious kitchen and restrooms, while they enjoy touring the more primitive sections of the Park. This building, and the addition of the Boy Scout Council’s ‘Liberty Circle’ are projects selected and approved for completion by our Board of Directors and officers. The dozen buildings in the Park may be primitive representations of early Hopkins County, but we keep moving towards some modern additions which bring additional interest to the Park and Museum. We want this pocket of history to remain accessible for families for a long time!”
However, volunteers are needed to share the workload, especially in the mowing and landscaping season. You are asked to find out about Heritage Park and Museum and the Historical Society which maintains it, and find a share that you’d like to contribute. It might be weedeating, flowerbeds, helping with the indoor displays, or even demonstrating a craft that you are good at. Many of the volunteers are senior citizens, and younger workers are welcome too. There’s something for almost every individual or group to do, and at the end of the day, it’s enjoyable and satisfying work, too. Phone 903-885-2387 or drop by the Park and Museum at 416 North Jackson Street between 10am and 2pm Tuesday through Friday. And phone 903-885-2387 if you’d like to book a wedding, reception, party, family reunion, class trip or other group visit at the Park!”

Wildcats Baseball Team Has First Practice Friday
Wildcats Baseball Coach Jerrod Hammack will begin his 23rd season as a baseball coach and his 15th year in Sulphur Springs Friday (January 31), the first day the UIL allows after school practice. Coach Hammack said starting the season doesn’t get old and he added it is always exciting. He said he might think he knows what he’s got this season but he said you never really know until you get the players on the field. With recent wet weather, Coach Hammack said they will very likely have their first practice indoors in the Multipurpose Building. He said he looks forward to warmer and dryer weather so his team can get out on the field at Wildcat Park. After graduating a large senior class last year, Coach Hammack said he has some significant holes to fill. Experts refer to a team being strong up the middle and that’s where quite a few holes are. Shortstop Kaden Argenbright, center fielder Austin Dodd and catcher Jace Burchfield graduated. Second baseball Kolson Hale returns. So do the Wildcats top two pitchers from last year, seniors Wills Sims and Jaxon Chaney. Sims was great on the mound down the stretch last year getting pitching wins over Texas High, Hallsville and Joshua. Chaney’s return to the mound after an arm injury mirrored the Wildcats hot streak at the end of the season that saw them secure a playoff spot and advance to the second round. Versatile Jake Davis, a pitcher and outfielder, returns. Both Chaney and Sims play on the infield when they are not pitching. Catcher Austin Crouse and utility player Jaden Janway are also back. Coach Hammack said he expects not only last year’s juniors off of the JV to join the varsity but perhaps some of the sophomores as well. He said the varsity roster this year might be a bit bigger than usual. Varsity positions will be determined in scrimmages, inter squad games and tournament contests. The Wildcats will play in three tournaments. Coach Hammack said playing lots of players and determining starters is more important in the tournaments than wins and losses. As always, he said his goal is to enter district play with a set lineup. Coach Hammack said he expects to be in every game with the pitchers he has. He said the team will have to be able to score runs. He said he likes this group and feels they will play well together. He said team chemistry is half the battle. The Wildcats first scrimmage will take place in Sherman on February 10. Again this season the Wildcats will play every district opponent three times. Coach Hammack said the district race will be competitive.

Wildcats Basketball Coach Clark Cipoletta Breaks Down Wildcats Win at Royse City Tuesday Night
Wildcats Basketball Coach Clark Cipoletta said the Wildcats executed well and shared the ball well on offense and restored pride on defense as players stepped up in certain areas in Tuesday night’s (January 28) win at Royse City, 69-43. Coach Cipoletta said the Wildcats worked well against the Bulldogs zone with a really good average points per possession over 1.0. He said the Wildcats had more than 15 assists. He said the defense buckled down against a Royse City offense that runs lots of action with screens and features tons of offensive weapons. Coach Cipoletta said the Wildcats practiced long hours to prepare for the Bulldogs, who do so many things on offense. He said the Wildcats rebounded well and blocked out well against Royse City. Coach Cipoletta said senior Day Day Hall put on an offensive clinic scoring 26 points. He said senior Grayson McClure was phenomenal hitting 7 three-pointers for 21 points. He credited Boo Wilkerson with leading the team in hero passes, those extra passes that lead to baskets. At one point in the game, sophomore post Justin Haire made a nice pass that led to a basket by Hall. A short time later, Hall returned the favor with a good pass to Haire who scored. Coach Cipoletta said the team celebrates sharing the ball. He said the sharing creates energy and is fun to watch. The Wildcats, ranked #9 in Class 5A with a 3-1 district mark and 21-7 season record, play next at Lindale Friday night. The Wildcats are tied for first in district with Mount Pleasant.
