Friday Open Date; Tuesday Possible Rain Out for Wildcat Baseball
Wildcats Baseball Coach Jerrod Hammack is no fan of byes in the schedule. It’s a necessity in District 16-6A, a seven team district. The Wildcats had their first open date Friday (March 23).
To keep his team in a semblance of a routine, Coach Hammack scheduled a non-district game on Saturday (March 24) at Seagoville. Before the game, Coach Hammack said he was worried the Wildcats might lack intensity in a non-district game in the middle of the district schedule. After the game, Coach Hammack said the Wildcats proved they could handle self-motivation. The Wildcats jumped on Seagoville for nine first inning runs in a 23-4 victory. Coach Hammack said the Wildcats got hits throughout their line up. 16 hits in all. He liked the way the Wildcats’ batters timed the Seagoville pitchers. Coach Hammack said the team has been working on that. He said Triston McCormick threw well over four innings. Coach Hammack said Tyler Armstrong was sharp on the mound in a scoreless fifth inning. Coach Hammack said the only negatives were two Wildcats’ errors. He said the team needs to eliminate those errors.
The Wildcats resume district play at Mount Pleasant Tuesday at 7 p.m. Rain is forecast and a flash flood watch is in effect Tuesday night. The Wildcats come into that game 3-0 in district play and 10-7 for the season.

Hopkins County Grand Jury Hands Up 83 Indictments
A Hopkins County Grand Jury handed up 83 indictments late last week. A majority of the indictments were for Possession of a Controlled Substance. However, there were a number of other charges resulting in the indictments. Those arrested prior to indictment include:
Ricky Lynn Hunt was indicted for two counts of Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child.
Alejandro Castro Rodriguez was indicted for Smuggling of Persons. A grey Honda van with 10 passengers was stopped by a Hopkins County Deputy last December at the 132-mile marker on I-30. The driver of the van had only a Mexican ID but claimed to have a driver’s license from Alabama and Mexico. A records check revealed the statement false. Rodriguez was placed under arrest for no valid driver’s license. However, the other nine Hispanic males in the vehicle said they had paid individuals to illegally bring them into the United States from Mexico and were now being taken to another location to work so they could pay their debt to the “coyotes”. Rodriguez, 26, of Mexico, stated he was taking the nine persons from Dallas to Mississippi in order to work. Due to his statements and the statements of the passengers, the deputy determined that Rodriguez had encouraged them to enter or remain in this country in violation of federal law by concealing, harboring, or shielding them from detection.
Sherrie Lee Cooksey was indicted for Burglary of a Habitation. A call to Sulphur Springs Police alerted them to a burglary of a residence on Bellview Street.
