SSISD High School Food Truck Day
Sulphur Springs ISD High School students will have more lunch choices Friday September 7th, 2018. For one day only, local food trucks will park at the high school and serve ‘student meals’. This treat was initiated by the SSHS Student Council. Student council president Alexis Lopez, council members, and Sponsor Alyssa Butler are in charge of the event.
For those students who choose not to visit the trucks, the school lunch program will run as usual.
KSST spoke with Assistant Superintendent Josh Williams who completed research to make sure that food trucks were allowed on campus, and that the trucks themselves are safe. “We want to make sure the food is wholesome, and fun.” “We are hoping food truck visits will add to the excitement of game day, and make school more exciting for all of our 1300 students.” Williams hinted that more food truck visits may be in the works.
Jennifer Graham, Administrative Assistant in Community Development for the City of Sulphur Springs provided a list of the food trucks currently permitted by the City. The list includes: Slaughter’s BBQ Oasis, Tito’s Ricos Tacos, Asian Food To Go, La Vaquera, La Dona, Tiki Thyme, and Fireside BBQ.
The SSISD district food service director agreed to the event. District food service revenue will probably take a slight hit due to the event. For those students who choose not to visit the trucks, the school lunch program will run as usual.
Four of the six trucks invited to the event have committed as of Friday August 31st. Invitations started with food trucks that have an operating permit for Sulphur Springs. Student Council contacted the city for a list of those licensed. A total of 7 trucks were invited.
Trucks will set up in the student parking lot. The event will be closed to public. Student safety is top priority according to Principal Derek Driver.
KSST was able to contact a few of the food trucks. As of Friday, here are some of the planned menu offerings.
Tito’s Ricos Tacos – Tacos, tortas and burritos
Asian Express To Go – Sweet and Sour Chicken, Sesame Chicken, General Tso Chicken
La Doña Cocina Móvil – authentic mexican food
Tiki Thyme – Pulled pork sandwich, smoked sausage dog, sausage on a stick, bbq chicken legs, mac/cheese, and brownies for dessert.

Davis, Young Named Player of the Game in Wildcat Win
It was a good start for Wildcat football Friday night in Frisco. The first game of the 2018 season produced several outstanding performances. Each week during the season, the KSST broadcast team—Don Julian, Play-by-Play, Butch Burney, Stats, Doug Haston, Videographer, and Jim Rogers—will pick a player of the game. Two players were nominated this week—Sophomore running back Caden Davis and Senior Quarterback D’Corian Young.

Sophomore running back Caden Davis was named Player of the Game by KSST Sports Staff following the Friday night win for the Sulphur Springs Wildcats. The Wildcats defeated Frisco Wakeland 37-35. Davis had 19 carries for 126 yards and six (6) receptions for 32 yards. Davis scored on a three (3) yard run with 53-seconds left in the third quarter.

Also named Player of the Week is Senior Quarterback D’Corian Young. Young carried the ball eight (8) times for 83 yards and completed 18 of 26 passes for 200 yards. He did have two (2) interceptions. Young scored the first rushing touchdown of the Wildcat season with a 21 yard run at the 8:46 mark in the first quarter. He ran the ball into the end zone in the third quarter.
Crump Sentenced to 5 Years for Bail Jumping and Failure to Appear
September 1, 2018 – Bail Jumping and Failure to Appear resulted in a five year sentence in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for Keri Amanda Crump, 29, of Sulphur Springs. She was sentenced Friday afternoon in Eighth Judicial District Court, according to Clay Harrison, Assistant District Attorney.

The charge of Bail Jumping and Failure to Appear was the result of Crump not appearing for her second day of trial in December 2017. She was present for the first day, Monday, December 11, 2017, but did not return Tuesday, December 12th. On that Tuesday, a Hopkins County Jury found her guilty of Possession of a Controlled Substance Penalty Group 1 less than 1-gram. The guilty verdict was delivered around 9:30 a.m. and the sentencing phase got underway 15 minutes later. Before 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, the jury sentenced her to two years in state jail and assessed a $10,000 fine.
In April, 2017 Crump was the driver and sole occupant of a vehicle that had been involved in a single vehicle crash that occurred on I-30 eastbound at the 111-mile marker. Crump admitted to deputies at the scene she had smoked PCP just prior to the crash. When arrested by DPS on Airport Road, she also admitted to the trooper that she was under the influence of PCP. She also admitted backing out while driving after smoking the PCP. In a search of the vehicle, three cigar type cigarettes were found. They appeared to be moist which was consistent with being dipped in liquid PCP, according to the arresting officer. A small vial of suspected PCP was found secreted in a cigarette package.
Wildcats Solid Defense, Time-Consuming Offense Equal Win Over Frisco Wakeland; Game Summary, Statistics
by Butch Burney
FRISCO — Despite three turnovers, the Sulphur Springs Wildcats’ season-opening win over Frisco Wakeland Friday night was a thing of beauty — at least from the Wildcats’ point of view.
The Wildcats used a solid defense and a time-consuming offense to come away with a 37-35 victory over the Wolverines at Frisco Memorial Stadium.

Senior quarterback D’Corian Young produced almost 300 yards of total offense and sophomore running back Caden Davis had more than 150 yards from scrimmage to pace the offense, while the Sulphur Springs defense came up with three turnovers of its own, including a fourth-quarter interception at the 1-yard line to halt a Wolvertine drive.
After taking a 30-21 halftime lead, the Wildcats scored just one second-half TD — that coming on their first offensive possession of the third quarter — but ran 44 offensive plays in the second half compared to just 10 for Wakeland to keep the Wolverines from mounting a comeback.
Wakeland got three touchdowns from do-it-all Garrett Field, whose final TD came on an 86-yard reception with 6:24 left to play in the game. But, on the all-important two-point conversion, SSHS linebacker broke up the potential tying pass. The Wildcats then were able to run the clock out with a 14 play drive that included four third-down conversions.
Though Sulphur Springs was tagged with 35 points, the defense played better than the score would indicate. One of Wakeland’s TDs was an interception return, another interception off a tipped pass gave the Wolverines the ball inside the SSHS 10-yard line, and two more TDs came as the result of long passes (91 and 86 yards). Sulphur Springs forced three turnovers, a fumble recovery by sophomore Deandre Peoples and interceptions by Austin Dodd and Jace Thompson.
Offensively, the Wildcats were paced by Young, who completed 18-of-26 passes for 200 yards, and who ran eight times for 83 yards. He threw for two TDs and ran for two more. Davis added 126 yards rushing on 19 carries and caught six passes for 32 yards. Dodd added 79 yards receiving on five catches.
The Wildcats struck first. After Dodd intercepted a pass on the first play of the game, Sulphur Springs completed a 70-yard drive with Young’s 21-yard TD run and subsequent conversion pass to Damiyon Dugan to take an 8-0 lead.
Wakeland took a 15-8 lead on Field’s 91-yard pass reception from quarterback Dylan Laible and Code Starnes’ 2-yard run following an SSHS tipped interception.

The Wildcats, thought scored another first quarter TD — on Dodd’s 44-yard catch-and-run and a Jermond Bryant-Amos conversion reception. Sulphur Springs added two more second-quarter touchdowns — the first on a 31-yard pass from Young to Landry Tyson, and the second on a 3-yard run by Davis. Brandon Zavala added both PATs.
When the Wildcats capped the opening drive of the second half with a 7-yard run by Young, they had a 37-21 lead. But, they had to hold on after Field returned a tipped pass 28 yards for one fourth-quarter touchdown, then caught an 86-yard TD to pull the Wolverines to within two points.
Defensively, the Wildcats were led by Pitts, Jose Rodriguez and Kylan Wade.
Sulphur Springs ground out 284 yards rushing and added 200 yards passing to finish with 484 yards of total offense. They amassed 27 first downs. Wakeland, meanwhile, managed just 41 yards rushing on 18 carries, though quarterbacks Laible and Jake Wright combined to throw for 303 yards. Wakeland had just 11 first downs.

The Lady Cats won the last three sets, 25-17, 25-15 and 25-14.
Autumn Tanton led the Lady Cats with 13 kills. Madi Vickery had 8, Abbi Baier had 7 and Sadie Washburn and Sydney Washburn had 6 apiece.
