The Wildcats Football Team travels to Terrell to play the Tigers as district play begins Friday night, Sept. 13, in District 8-5A in Division II.
Both teams come in hungry for a win with 0-2 records. The Wildcats lost at home to Frisco Wakeland and on the road to Lovejoy. Terrell lost to Hallsville at home and to Paris on the road. The Wildcats won last year’s game at The Prim, 42-27. Going back to 1956, the Wildcats lead the series, 14-10.
Terrell is coached by Marvin Sedberry Jr. in his first year at Terrell and his 13th as a head coach. The Wildcats are coached by former Wildcat great Greg Owens in his 14th year with the Wildcats and 23rd year as a head coach.
Concerning district play, Coach Sedberry notes the district is a tough one. He said figuratively that there are no weeks off in the district as all eight of the district opponents present a challenge.
Coach Owens has stressed urgency to his team this week with district play beginning. He told them they are only guaranteed eight more games this season. The biggest challenge for the Wildcats this week has been preparing their defense for Terrell’s Wing-T offense.
KSST Radio will bring you Wildcats football from Terrell beginning tonight at 7:30 p.m. The game will also be videotaped for replay later on Channel 18 on Suddenlink Cable.

Lady Cats Volleyball Has Challenging Non-District Match At Pleasant Grove Friday
The Lady Cats Volleyball Team is expected to have their hands full as they travel to Texarkana to play Pleasant Grove on this Friday game day, Sept. 13. The schedule calls for the varsity match to get underway at 4:30 p.m. JV and freshmen matches will follow at around 6 p.m.
The two teams had quite a battle in Sulphur Springs last season. The Lady Cats eventually came out on top after five grueling sets.
The Lady Cats come into Friday’s game with a 17-9 record. The Lady Cats won their last match Tuesday evening over a scrappy Emory Rains team, 3-1. The Lady Cats were able to win a competitive fourth set to keep the match from going to a fifth and deciding set.
The Lady Cats return home next Tuesday as Wylie East comes to town for a 5:30 p.m. match.
Northcutt Announces Intent To Seek Re-election As 8th Judicial District Judge
Eighth Judicial District Judge Eddie Northcutt Thursday announced his intention to seek re-election. Northcutt was initially elected in 2012 and was re-elected without opposition to a second term in 2016. A Republican, Northcutt plans to once again seek the nomination of his party in the March 2020 primary.
The 8th Judicial District is comprised of Hopkins, Franklin, Rains, and Delta counties.
“It has been my distinct privilege and honor to serve as District Judge. When initially running for this job, I stated that the experiences and skill set I possess would uniquely qualify me to serve this area as a district judge, and I have found that to be very true,” Northcutt said.
“My previous experiences as a mental health professional, minister, school teacher, and attorney have greatly benefitted me – and ultimately the citizens of this district – as I have been on the bench.”
Northcutt has presided over several thousand cases in the district since taking the bench in January, 2013, including scores of jury trials and trials to the court (without a jury).
Hay Bale Decorating Contest
Hopkins County residents who wish to enter the Hay Bale Decorating Contest for fun and prizes can enter now. Entries are needed by October first, however, hay bale sculptures don’t have to be completely ready for judging until Monday October 14, 2019. This is the second year for the creative contest. Last year there were 19 entries, and more are expected this year as families, church groups, clubs and businesses join in. Now during the harvest season, it’s also a good way to recognize the importance of hay on the economy of Hopkins County. There is no registration fee. Feel free to sculpt your entry out of square or round bales, or a combination of both. Your entry can be from one bale to as many as you would like to use. Your sculpture can also use other materials with the bales to enhance your theme, and it can display then name of your sponsoring group or club. Wherever entries are located, in town or in the county, they will be viewed and judged on October 18 with winners announced on October 26. More details and entry information can be found by phoning contest organizers Shirley Patchen at 903-885-5914 or Sue Potts at 903-485-3241 or by email at [email protected]
National Emergency Management Month Observed in Hopkins County: Part Two, Fire Safety
Hopkins County Fire Chief Andy Endsley, who is also Hopkins County Emergency Management Coordinator, was joined by Kristi Springfield, Assistant Emergency Management Coordinator, to discuss families being prepared at home for a fire emergency. Of course, home smoke alarms are a standard protection for fire. Additionally, each family should have an emergency exit plan in place, as well as a designated place for family members to meet up once they have exited the home. It’s even better if families would also review that plan and even practice it, step by step if there are children in the home, according to Endsley. He recommends that a good time to go over your fire emergency plan would be annually, Spring and Fall, around the time we change for Daylight Savings Time. That would also be around the same time it’s recommended that you change the batteries in your home’s smoke alarms.
Springfield brought up that there is a local campaign by the Red Cross called ‘Sound the Alarm’ which will take place in Sulphur Springs on Saturday September 21, 2019. Between 10 am and 3 pm that day, Red Cross volunteers will give free smoke alarms and even help homeowners install the detectors. If you would like to participate in the free program, register by reaching out to volunteer coordinator Misty Batts by email at [email protected]. These Red Cross volunteers are teaming up with local volunteers, fire departments and partners during the Sound the Alarm Campaign this Fall. Additionally, Chief Endsley stated that our local fire departments will help homeowners without smoke alarms to install them or check them for safety anytime of year. They can also help change the batteries for homeowners who cannot climb a ladder to reach the alarms at ceiling level. Their main concern is safety for the people of Hopkins County.
When asked about how she got interested in a career in Fire and Emergency Management, Springfield said that when a student at Sulphur Springs High School, she joined a 9-1-1 Explorer Post and decided she would like to be a paramedic. She followed that dream up with training, and has been EMT certified since the year 2000. She currently pairs her fire certification and employment with Hopkins County Fire Department with an Advanced EMT certification. Bringing a number of years of on-the-job experience in emergency management, Springfield was named Assistant Emergency Management Coordinator earlier in 2019 while continuing to serve as a member of the team, all of whom are dual certified in medical emergency as well as fire protection.
Chief Endsley reminded everyone that September is National Emergency Preparedness Month, and October will be Fire Prevention Month, and so he asks that as citizens, we take preparedness seriously. He will return each Friday morning in September with more safety information at 8:15 am during the KSST Good Morning Show.
