Watch Out for Spooks on the Road By Johanna Hicks
I’ve never been a big fan of Halloween because it has taken on a sinister, dark, and scary nature. As a child, I enjoyed dressing up in a homemade costume and going from door-to-door with my older brother to procure those tasty treats. We never had to worry about danger lurking around the corner or mischievous acts. We just enjoyed seeing our neighbors and other kids enjoying the evening. Times have changed, but there are still some safe ways to enjoy Halloween.
For some, Halloween means children getting outdoors to enjoy treats, fun, and games. Although Halloween comes before the change back to standard time this year, the days are getting shorter, and the nights are getting longer. With shorter days comes more night driving. Because nighttime driving is more dangerous, it requires extra attention from motorists, as well as pedestrians and bicyclists. Sadly, Halloween also increases the number of drunk drivers on the road at night. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that from 2012 to 2016, 44% of all people killed in motor vehicle crashes on Halloween night were in crashes involving a drunk driver.
NHTSA also reports that nearly two-thirds of all fatal pedestrian crashes and about 20% of fatal bicycle crashes occur in low-light conditions. The large number of young pedestrians out on Halloween evening makes this an especially dangerous time. That’s why I want to remind motorists, parents and children of the following safety tips to keep in mind during Halloween and all year long.
Tips for Motorists
· Slow down. Watch for children walking on roads, medians, and curbs. Enter and exit driveways carefully.
· Be especially alert for children darting out from between parked vehicles and from behind bushes and shrubs. They’re excited – and they are not paying attention.
· Never drink and drive – tonight or any night. If you are partying, designate a driver.
Tips for Parents
· Adults should accompany children at all times and supervise their “trick or treat” activities.
· Teach children to “stop, look left-right-left, and listen” before they cross the street.
· Use a flashlight, and wear retro-reflective strips or patches on your clothing or costume to be more visible to motorists.
· Be certain that the mask does not obstruct vision or hearing.
· Ensure that costumes do not impede walking or driving ability.
· Take advantage of the “Trunk or Treat” events sponsored by local churches. These provide a safe, fun environment for children.
Tips for Pedestrians (children and adults)
· Before crossing a street, stop at the curb or edge of the road and look left, right, and left again to be sure no cars are coming. Continue to check for traffic while on the street.
· Walk – never run – from house to house or across the road.
· Cross the street only at intersections and crosswalks.
· When crossing at an intersection with a traffic light, be sure to watch for turning cars. Obey all pedestrian signals.
· Walk on sidewalks whenever possible. If there are no sidewalks, walk on the left side of the street facing traffic.

Closing Thought
“Rest when you’re tired. Take a drink of cold water when you’re thirsty. Call a friend when you’re lonely. Ask God to help when you feel overwhelmed.” Melodie Beattie
Wildcats Continue Season Undefeated; Defeat Ennis 45-28
By Butch Burney
ENNIS — The Sulphur Springs Wildcats may make believers out of all the doubters before this season is over.
The Wildcats, picked by some statewide prognosticators to finish in the bottom third of their district, continued their magical — and unbeaten season — with a 45-28 victory over the Ennis Lions Friday night.
Sulphur Springs improved its record to 4-0 in District 8-5A, Division II, and overall mark to 5-0 with the impressive victory at Lion Memorial Stadium in a game marked by second-half rain and a strong northerly wind.
The Wildcats continue to mix their offensive scheme to find the best success, and Friday night it was a strong running game that averaged almost 7 yards per carry, and an opportunistic passing attack in which six of the eight completions went for more than 15 yards.
Defensively, linebackers Kylan Wade, Bryce McQueen and DQ Pitts played particularly strong games, with Wade coming up with a key first-half fumble recovery.
Sulphur Springs punted just one time and did not commit a turnover. What they did do was score six touchdowns and add a field goal in eight offensive possessions. The three-man running attack continues to churn out yardage as Da’Korian Sims (93 yards on 10 carries), Caden Davis (82 yards on 13 carries) and Colton Allen (67 yards on 14 carries) guided a ground game that amassed 280 yards. Allen scored two TDs, while Davis and Sims each added one touchdown each.
And when the passing attack was needed, quarterback D’Corian Young hooked up with his favorite target, wideout Austin Dodd, for a 79-yard catch-and-run TD in the third quarter that proved to be a backbreaker for the Lions.
While the Wildcats had to punt on their first possession of the game, they still took a 7-0 lead when their second series resulted in a 1-yard TD run by Young, who ran for 38 yards and threw for 198 more, completing 8-of-14 passes.
Ennis tied the game on an 8-yard run by its quarterback Dyllan Santos, but Sulphur Springs took the lead for good on a Caden Davis 2-yard run and a 34-yard field goal by Brandon Zavala. That made the score 17-7 with 2:48 remaining in the half. Ennis then went on a quick scoring drive, ending on a controversial 24-yard TD catch by Zion Dove on the final play of the first half. On the play, Santos hit dove with a pass on the visitor’s sideline in the endzone. The ball came loose before Dove hit the ground, but the officials called it a TD anyway.
That didn’t deter the Wildcat defense, which held Ennis to a punt on the first possession of the second half. The SSHS offense, then, marched 56 yards to paydirt, capped by Allen’s 1-yard TD run to put the Wildcats ahead 24-14. But, Ennis came back with a TD of its own, this time a 23-yard run by workhorse running back James Harris, who finished with 157 yards on 26 carries. That tightened the score to 24-21.
The Wildcats, though, wasted no time in breaking the game back open as on the first play of the ensueing possession, Young found Dodd on a short sideline route. Dodd then turned the catch into a 79-yard TD by breaking tackles and heading across the field to the endzone. Zavala’s extra point made the score 31-21, and the Wildcats added a 14-yad TD run by Allen in the fourth quarter and a 26-yard churning run by Sims with 99 seconds left to ice the game.
NOTES — Sulphur Springs had almost 500 yards of total offense, totaling 478 yards and averaging 8.5 yards per snap. … Landry Tyson intercepted a pass in the endzone on Ennis’ final possession. … The Wildcats defense adjusted to the hard-nosed running style of Ennis’ James Harris. Harris had 58 yards rushing on his first five carries, but averaged less than 5 yards on his final 21 carries and only one carry (his TD run) went for double-digit yardage. … Ennis threw just four times in the first half, but attempted 16 passes in the second half as they tried to come from behind. They finished with 352 total yards.
AROUND THE DISTRICT — The Wildcats went to 4-0 in District 8-5A, Division II, and it’s looking more and more like 5 wins will ensure a playoff berth. That’s because five of the district’s nine teams already hae three district losses. Corsicana (5-0) and Sulphur Springs (4-0) are atop the district standings, while Kaufman is at 3-1 and Ennis stands at 3-2. Forney, Royse City and Greenville are all at 1-3, while North Forney and Terrell are at 1-4. … Friday night, Corsicana beat Royse City 20-0, Greenville defeated Terrell 31-17, and Kaufman handed North Forney a 39-14 loss. Forney was idle. … Next week, there will be key games in the district, including Corsicana at Sulphur Springs and Ennis at Forney. Elsewhere, Royse City hosts Greenville and Kaufman visits Terrell. North Forney is idle.

Lady Cats Defeat Lindale 3-2
It took some time for the Lady Cats’ volleyball team to get the hang of playing five set district matches at home but they seem to have figured it out. The Lady Cats last four district home matches required a fifth set.
The Lady Cats lost the first two to Greenville and Texas High in the first half of district play. In a big week this week, the Lady Cats won a pair of five setters at home over Royse City Tuesday (October 9) and Lindale Friday (October 12). Against Lindale, the Lady Cats looked like they would take the match in straight sets winning set one, 25-20 and set two, 25-23. Then the Lady Eagles struck back to even the match by taking set three, 25-23 and set four, 25-17. The Lady Cats had the right stuff in set five to take the set, 15-12 and the match, 3-2.
After a 1-4 record in the first half of district play, the Lady Cats are now 2-0 in the second half. As a result, they are climbing up in the district standings. With Friday’s win, the Lady Cats improve to 3-4 in district play. They are now tied for third place in the district standings with Royse City and Greenville. Texas High is first at 7-0 and Lindale is second at 5-2. Mount Pleasant is at 0-7 in the cellar. The Lady Cats are now 27-11 for the season.
The Lady Cats hope to continue their good fortune in the second half of district play as they travel to Greenville for a key district match Tuesday (October 16) at 6:30 p.m.

The Wildcats played five teams from District 16-5A this season but Whitehouse was not one of them. The Wildcats played Hallsville, Jacksonville, John Tyler, Pine Tree and Marshall.

Game Day: Lady Cats Host Lindale
The Lady Cats’ volleyball team is hoping the second half of the district play continues to mean a change in fortune for the team. After a 1-4 first half, the Lady Cats opened the second half of district play with a 3-2 home win over Royse City on Tuesday night (October 9) in Wildcat Gym.
The Lady Cats enter play Friday (October 12) against Lindale at home with a 2-4 district record. The Lady Cats are tied with Greenville for fourth place in district.
