Wildcats Football and Lady Cats Volleyball Play District Games on This Game Day Friday
For the Wildcats Football Team, it’s district football tonight (Fri., October 18) as the Wildcats take on the Corsicana Tigers at Tiger Stadium in Corsicana. This is a win both teams obviously want but for entirely different reasons. Corsicana wants to keep pace with the teams at the top of the district standings, Ennis and Royse City. Royse City gave the Tigers their first district loss last week, 27-0. For the Wildcats they need to start getting some wins to have any hope of getting into the playoff picture. They are only 1-3 in district play but Wildcats Football Coach Greg Owens and his coaches feel they should have a chance to win any of their final four games. The Tigers are coached by veteran Hal Wasson, who has coached all over Texas, most notably at Southlake Carroll, where he was for 11 years including a state championship in 2011. He’s in his first year in Corsicana. Coach Owens is in his 14th year at his alma mater. Catch all the action of Wildcats football at Corsicana on KSST Radio. The game will also be videotaped for replay later on Ch. 18 on Suddenlink Cable.
Meanwhile the Lady Cats Volleyball Team continues district play at Lindale Friday. The varsity plays at 5 p.m. with freshmen and JV matches starting at around 6;30 p.m. The Lady Cats are 3-3 in district play and are tied with Royse City in third place. Lindale is 5-1 in district play tied for first in district with Greenville. Lindale defeated the Lady Cats in Sulphur Springs in the first round of district play, 3-1 back on October 1.

Testimony Under Way Friday During Sentencing Phase of Johnny Ray Conley Trial
Prosecutors called at least six witnesses to testify Friday morning during the sentencing phase of Johnny Ray Conley’s trial. The 53-year-old Cooper man was convicted by the eight woman, four man jury Friday night of four counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child, who was reportedly about 8 when the offenses occurred.
Friday morning, Assistant District Attorneys Jodi Cox and Matt Harris called three young women who testified earlier in the week to the charges Conley was accused of as well as other alleged sexual acts and two instances in which Conley was accused of exposing himself to them when they were juveniles. They described the impact that had on them. The mothers of two youth Conley was accused of exposing himself to also testified Friday the impact it had on their daughters as well as them.
Court was recessed around 11:30 a.m. Friday, with jurors instructed by 8th Judicial District Judge Eddie Northcutt to return at 1:15 p.m. with court to resume at 1:30 p.m., Oct. 18. He told jurors the court needed to make additional accomodations.
Additional witnesses were expected to be called Friday afternoon, before the attorneys give closing arguments and the jury is given the charge to deliberate punishment.
CHRISTUS Rehabilitation Specialists Jeff Sant and Kerry Herman Share Information during Ntl. Physical Therapy Month
Physical Therapist Jeff Sant has been performing professional rehabilitation services in Sulphur Springs for 22 years, first at the Sam Sevier Clinic and now through the hospital in Sulphur Springs. He has seen many changes and improvements in therapy treatments during that time, and has praise for the CHRISTUS Health Care System. During a KSST Good Morning Show interview, Sant stated “The Sulphur Springs rehab unit actually is the only clinic within the CHRISTUS system that offers Pediatric Therapy as well as Outpatient Speech Therapy, and that’s awesome for us! We are now able to handle a very broad range of therapies and treatments, including sports therapies, for people of all ages who need help getting back to normal function. Ours is a spacious facility with a large Aquatic Therapy Center as well as an Alter-G Treadmill, which ‘alters gravity’ and allows an almost weightless approach to rehab involving joints”. Sant also praised the Rehab Center’s capability to treat all types of Sports Injuries at the rehab facility in Sulphur Springs.
Speech Therapist Kerry Herman steered to her career from a background in Special Education in public schools. She knew she wanted to continue to work with children with special needs, but refined her specialty to speech therapy. Now she enjoys working with pediatric as well as geriatric patients. Among the many areas of treatment offered by the CHRISTUS Speech Therapy Rehab staff are voice disorders and fluency, sensory and cognitive disorders, recovery from stroke and joint replacement, even rehab needed following traumatic brain injury and birth defects with a very broad range of symptoms. Kerry stated “When we receive a referral from a pediatrician and treat a child, we must also educate the parents. Same with the caregivers of an elderly patient. We may send home a program of exercise for the patient, which must be performed at home until the next outpatient visit. We try to go to every extent to make sure the patient receives rehabilitation and makes the maximum improvement they can”.
Among other staffers at the Rehab Center are Elsie Ann Horton, Magan McCoy, Shannon Lawrence and Macy Johnson. The entire rehab staff is observing National Physical Therapy Month during October. An excerpt from the website of CHRISTUS Mother Frances Health Care System reads:
