Lady Cat Volleyball Ranked #11 in State by TGCA
Wednesday (August 22) Lady Cats Volleyball Coach Justin Maness said his team has been recognized for their good play so far this season. He said the Texas Girls Coaches Association has ranked the Lady Cats as the #11 team in the state.
The Lady Cats have started the season 14-3 and they have won eight straight matches. Number eight came Tuesday night (August 21) at Wildcat Gym as the Lady Cats down Forney, 3-0. In all the Forney matches, the Lady Cats scored key points down the stretch in tie games to win. The score was 25-23, 25-23 and 25-19. Coach Maness said what has made the Lady Cats strong is that when a match is tight they are able to execute while not playing it safe or making errors. He said at the end of tight matches, the Lady Cats are clicking and meshing as a team.
Coach Maness said Abbi Baier again played well and had some dazzling kills. He acknowledged that the Lady Cats have many weapons. Coach Maness said they have to have that otherwise opponents would be able to identify just one strong player and work to stop them. Coach Maness said the Lady Cats are a fun bunch to coach. The win against Forney was the first for a Maness-coached Lady Cats team after four previous losses to the Lady Rabbits.
Next for the Lady Cats is the Tyler ISD Volleyball Tournament on Thursday and Saturday. In the pool with the Lady Cats are Hallsville, Henderson and White Oak. In between tournament play, the Lady Cats travel to Caddo Mills for a Friday evening match.
Wildcat Football: Punters, Kickers, Outside Linebackers
Editor’s Note: We continue our look at Wildcat Varsity Football in preparation for the 2018 Season.
Greg Owens on Punter and Kickers
Wildcats Head Football Coach Greg Owens also specializes in coaching kickers and punters for the Wildcats. His punter this year is the experienced senior Jermond Bryant-Amos. Last season Bryant-Amos punted in 8 games punting 16 times for an average of 38.06 yards per kick. His long kick was 56 yards. He had one punt inside the 20 yard line. Coach Owens said Bryant-Amos has an extremely strong leg but he added he needs to work on his consistency. Coach Owens has two junior soccer players competing for the job of kicker: Osiel Lopez and Brandon Zavala. Coach Owens said both kickers have good work ethic but they need to improve their consistency. He said Lopez did a great job this summer getting in shape at The Edge. Coach Owens said Zavala did well in the spring but has been hampered by muscle strains in August. Volunteer Coach Chuck Eoff has also been working with the kickers. Coach Owens said soccer players have to learn how to properly kick a football. He said neither kicker has a strong enough leg to put the ball into the end zone consistently on kickoffs so he said the Wildcats will do directional kicking and pooch kicking.
Defensive Coordinator Alex Guerra on Outside Linebackers
New Wildcats Defensive Coordinator Alex Guerra also works specifically with outside linebackers. His group includes several with experience and others who are new. The experienced hands include junior Kylan Wade, senior Cason Churchman, senior D.Q. Pitts and senior Rio Becerra. The new to varsity players are senior Blayne Hohenburger, senior Kaleb Myles and junior Aaron Douglas. Coach Guerra called them a good group of kids. He said they have shown good retention of things learned in the spring. In his defensive scheme, Coach Guerra said he expects outside linebackers to be the leaders of the defense. He said they will also be expected to do a little more pass coverage. Coach Guerra said the outside linebackers could be pretty good. He expects them to make up for lack of size with quickness and second and third effort.

City Council Sets Course for Future Meetings
Tuesday night, August 21, 2018 in a special session the Sulphur Springs City Council approved placing a tax revenue increase on the September 4th Regular Session Agenda and set two public hearings regarding the increase. They approved placing raises for the City Municipal Judges and City Secretary in the 2018-2019 budget and discussed nominees for a City Charter Review Committee.
In a 5-2 vote the Sulphur Springs City Council placed a proposed tax revenue increase on a Special Session Agenda for September 11. The tax rate is proposed to remain at $0.44 per $100.00 of property evaluation. The increase for the city is based on increased property values and 75% of the proposed increase will come from new properties placed on the role this past year. The total increase in revenue will be $32,452.00 if the increase is approved.
Two public hearings for the increase are set for August 30th at noon and at 6 p.m. September 5th. Both public hearings will be in the City Council Chambers.
It was noted that a 1-cent increase to the tax rate would increase city revenue by $90,000. Again, no rate increase is planned at this time. The effective rate of the revenue increase will be .436 due to the evaluation. The proposed budget for 2018-2019 that will be presented for approval during the September 11th Special Meeting agenda will include the tax revenue increase.
The council also voted Tuesday to include a salary increase for City Municipal Judges and the City Secretary in the 2018-2019 proposed budget. Councilman Jimmy Lucas stated that the $3,800 per year increase for City Secretary Gale Roberts had already been earned due to all the help she has given him since his election to council. City Municipal Judges will receive a $350 per month increase in salary. The two judges, B. J. Teer and Brad Cummings, also serve the county as elected Justices of the Peace.
The council named names as they discussed nominees for the Charter Review Committee. The Charter Review Committee will be an action item on the September 4th Regular Session agenda for the council. Along with those who will be elected in September, the city attorney, city manager, city secretary, and a city council member will serve. Councilman Lucas stated that he would stand as a nominee from the council. Seven or eight citizens will be named to the committee based on a ranking vote by the council at the September 4th meeting. Among those nominated, former Councilman Bill Watts, Jay Julien, a local banker, Tyler Law, a local businessman, Dr. Scott McDearmont, Will Longino, Justin Davidson, and Jason Cunningham. Others will be added to the list of nominees prior to the list of nominees being presented.

12-Week Family Bible Study Series to Begin at Brashear Baptist Church
Taking the Brashear exit south from Interstate 30 in Hopkins County, you will see the Brashear Baptist Church on both sides of CR 3389, just a stone’s throw from the Post Office. The original part of the church and sanctuary was expanded in recent years to accommodate growth, with a new family life center, kitchen, gym and generous parking across the street. The church now serves a growing congregation pastored by David Burns, and a healthy Wednesday night ministry of about 100 youth and Awana students, directed by Youth minister Dustin Cowden. Pastor Burns recently introduced Retired US Air Force Chaplain Mark Crumpton as Sunday School Discipleship Director. Originally from the Cumby/Greenville area, Mark has returned “home” bringing experiences from his service around the world and in personal ministries. Mark will begin a Family Bible Study Series next month.
With the theme of “Experiencing God”, the Family Bible Study Series is for families and individuals of all ages. It will be an opportunity for them to spend time together in the Word of God, with worship, study and praise during the 12-week series through Fall 2018. After the holidays, a new study will begin for the New Year called “Experiencing the Cross”, followed by a third series leading into the Easter season called “Experiencing the Resurrection”. These studies will be in addition to Sunday morning Worship and Sunday School, and Wednesday night prayer, Youth services and Awana studies.
After graduation from Greenville High School, Mark joined the Air Force. During his 25-year military career as a Chaplain, he served in deployments to Iraq and assignments in Turkey, Hungary, Germany, Guam, Alaska and numerous state-side assignments. His wife Debra passed away in 2011. He is father to three children.
