Lady Cats Start from Scratch Monday at 5 p.m. in Pine Tree
Despite have a 4-1 lead at Pine Tree in the bottom of the third inning when rains came, the Lady Cats and the Lady Pirates will have to start from scratch when the two teams get back together in Pine Tree Monday at 5 p.m.
On KSST Radio and Cable Channel 18’s Saturday Morning Coaches Show, Lady Cats Softball Coach David Carrillo said that scenario is what the district’s softball rules call for. He also said that the rule was very likely to be changed soon so that games would pick up where they were when they were postponed. Coach Carrillo said Pine Tree scored a run in the bottom of the first and then the Lady Cats responded with a pair of runs in both the second and third innings. Sadie Stroud hit a home run that got washed away with the rest of Friday’s game.
The postponement means the Lady Cats will play three games this week. They will also host Marshall at Lady Cat Park Tuesday evening and then will travel to Texas High Friday evening. The Lady Cats are in first place by a game with a 7-1 district mark. Their season record is 20-5. Coach Carrillo said the team knows what is at stake. The Lady Cats have four district games left on the schedule and three of them take place this week as the Lady Cats try to nail down a district championship.

Wildcats Resume Pine Tree Game Monday
The Wildcats’ baseball team will resume their district game at Pine Tree Monday at 4 p.m. The Game was postponed Friday with the Wildcats getting ready to bat in the top of the fifth inning leading 7-4.
On KSST Radio and Cable Channel 18’s Saturday Morning Coaches Show, Wildcats Baseball Coach Jerrod Hammack talked about how the Wildcats got their three run lead. He said the Wildcats scored five runs in the top of the first inning. Surprisingly, the Wildcats did all their scoring after the first two batters made outs. Ryan Humphries drew a walk and Triston McCormick drove him in with a triple. Several more hits led to runs as the Wildcats batted around in the first inning. To Coach Hammack’s chagrin, the Pirates responded with five hits and three runs in the bottom of the first. Later Pine Tree trimmed the lead to 5-4. At that point, Coach Hammack said the game reminded him of a tournament game loss to Brook Hill School of Bullard. In that game, the Wildcats scored 7 early runs and then did not score again in a 13-7 loss. In this case, the Wildcats did add two runs and they led the Pirates 7-4. Then came lightning and a downpour that made the Pine Tree unplayable Friday.
Coach Hammack said he would go with Jaxon Chaney on the mound in the resumed game. Coach Hammack said Ryan Humphries would pitch Tuesday night at home against Marshall. During last Friday’s Pine Tree game, Coach Hammack said pitcher Triston McCormick complained of some discomfort in his pitching arm. Coach Hammack said if McCormick can’t pitch this coming Friday at Texas High, he said he would depend on Pacen Edwards or Tyler Armstrong.
The Wildcats enter the Pine Tree game Monday with a 5-1 district record and a season mark of 12-8. Coach Hammack said he likes this year’s Wildcats team. He said they swing the bats as good as any of his teams in quite some time. Coach Hammack said the team has done a good job of improving on defense this season. He also has a lot of good pitching options to choose from.

Wildcats Finish Third at District Golf Tournament; Lewis Qualifies for Regional
Wildcats Golf Coach Chris Owens said conditions were very tough on the first day of the two-day district golf tournament last Thursday at Rockwall Golf and Athletic Club. The Wildcats ended up finishing in third place in district. Only the top two teams advance to the regional golf tournament.
Wildcats junior Carter Lewis did qualify for the regional tournament as an individual. Lewis shot a solid 78 on the first day of the district tournament and then followed with an 85 on Friday. The regional golf tournament will be back at Rockwall Golf and Athletic Club on April 23-24. Coach Owens said none of his other Wildcats played very well. He noted that his team will only lose one senior off this year’s team: Cameron Morris. Coach Owens expects his team to be pretty good next year. He said Lewis is capable to doing quite well as the regional tournament. Coach Owens said Lewis shot a 71 recently as the Cascades Golf Club in Tyler.

Inaugural “Freedom Ball” a Step Toward Success for Veterans Memorial Fund
The first-ever Hopkins County Freedom Ball, held in the Cedar Canyon Event Center on Saturday April 7, 2018, was declared a success by organizers Joe Dan and Mandy Kennedy and committees. The purpose of the Freedom Ball was to bring honor to current and retired military men and women as well as to seek funding for future needs of the Veterans Memorial. The Memorial is the focal point of the downtown Celebration Plaza, situated in front of the Hopkins County Courthouse in Sulphur Springs, Texas. Those needs include engraving of additional names of veterans on the walls as well as future maintenance and upkeep of the Memorial site.
Attendees of the Ball were treated to a catered dinner and dancing with music by the Kelley Fletcher Band and by Monty Tipps and Main Street. Emcees were Kari Nuckols and John Sellers. Many of the veterans were attired in military uniform and stood as branches of service were recognized. Everyone enjoyed a spoken rendition of “Ragged Old Flag” by committee member Clayton McGraw. Guest speaker was Sulphur Springs native Chris Jackson, Lt. Col, Retired, USMC who attended with his wife, a 26-year veteran of the USMC, Retired. Jackson addressed the crowd on the value of veterans within our communities, the challenges facing the military today, and the importance of supporting military personnel for the sacrifices they and their families make. Attendees were encouraged to make donations toward engraving un-sponsored veterans, estimated at some 2,000 names of Hopkins County soldiers from all wars. If you would like to help in this cause, contact any Freedom Ball organizer, donate at hcfreedomball.com or see Pam Elliott at Rooster Roast Coffee Bar, 220 Connally Street in Sulphur Springs, Texas for details on how to sponsor a Veteran.

National Work Zone Awareness Week
Paris – In recognition of National Work Zone Awareness Week, April 9-13, the Texas Department of Transportation reminds drivers that every day requires caution when driving through work zones. In 2017, work zone fatalities in Texas increased 9 percent over the previous year, resulting in 199 deaths and 813 serious injuries. With 4 percent of those fatalities being road crew workers, the remaining 96 percent was comprised of motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists.
“We always urge drivers to exercise great caution and obey traffic laws, especially in work zones,” said TxDOT Executive Director James Bass. “Doing so helps ensure everyone – motorists and work crews – gets home safely to their loved ones.”
As the state’s population continues to boom, the price of progress can mean more than 2,500 active TxDOT work zones at any given time. The leading causes of statewide work zone crashes – speeding and driver inattention – are entirely preventable. Fines in work zones double when workers are present and can cost up to $2,000.
“Roadside crews often work only a few feet from fast-moving traffic,” Bass said. “Driver vigilance is paramount to ensuring the safety of everyone in the work zone. We urge anyone driving through a work zone to minimize distractions, give their full attention to the road and be prepared to slow down or stop on short notice.”
As part of its ongoing Work Zone Awareness campaign, TxDOT also reminds drivers of the Move Over/Slow Down law, which requires drivers to move over or slow down when approaching TxDOT crews, law enforcement, emergency vehicles or tow trucks stopped on the roadside or shoulder with flashing blue or amber lights. Failure to do so can result in fines up to $2,000.
