Wildcats End Season in Bi-district loss to Lovejoy 45-29
The Wildcats’ football team had a hard time slowing down Lovejoy and the Wildcats season came to an end with a 45-29 loss in a bi-district game at Gerald Prim Stadium Friday night. The Leopards wasted no time getting on the board.
On their first drive, Lovejoy quarterback Carson Collins threw a long pass to wide receiver Chase Van Wagoner who caught the ball behind the Wildcats defense and ran into the end zone. The play covered 50 yards and the Leopards led 7-0 with less than two minutes gone in the first quarter. After a Wildcats punt, Collins and Van Wagoner again teamed up for another score on another long touchdown pass play. Lovejoy was up 14-0 with 5:49 left in the first quarter.
The Wildcats rallied to tie the score with two touchdowns. Receiver Simeon Taylor took a hand off on a flanker around and raced 74 yards into the end zone. The Lovejoy lead was cut to 14-7 with 2:08 left in the first quarter. Early in the second quarter, Wildcats quarterback D’Corian Young ran 8 yards for a touchdown and the score was tied at 14-14. Lovejoy struck for two more touchdowns before halftime.
The Leopard’s Bumper Pool, acting as quarterback in the Leopard’s Wildcat package scored both touchdowns. His 8 yard TD run gave the Leopards a 21-14 lead with 8:42 left in the second quarter. After Pool intercepted a pass, he ran 23-yards for a touchdown and Lovejoy lead 28-14 with 5:05 left in the second quarter. That was the halftime score.
The third quarter opened poorly for the Wildcats. Lovejoy booted a high kickoff into the strong wind, the Wildcats muffed it and Lovejoy recovered. Given a short field, the Leopards scored again as running back James Rainey ran 4 yards for a touchdown. Lovejoy led 35-14 with 7:49 left in the third quarter. The Wildcats responded with a touchdown drive of their own. Colton Allen was running hard inside the five when several Wildcats offensive linemen pushed an entire pile of players, including Allen, into the end zone. The Wildcats trailed 35-21 with 2:24 left in the third quarter. Lovejoy’s quarterback Collins and receiver Van Wagoner combined for a third time on a long touchdown pass play. With just :48 second left in the third quarter, the Leopards went up, 42-21.
In the fourth quarter, the Leopards kicked a field goal to increase their lead to 45-21 with about 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter. The Wildcats had one final touchdown in them. Quarterback Ryan Humphries ran for a touchdown. Humphries then found receiver Jase Thompson in the end zone for a two point conversion. The Wildcats trailed 45-29 with just 3:20 left in the fourth quarter. A Wildcats’ on sides kick attempt was unsuccessful. Lovejoy ran out the clock to take the bi-district game, 45-29.
The Wildcats end their season with a 5-6 record.

Sulphur Springs ISD Elementary Teacher Receives Award for Her Student Teaching at Commerce ISD
COMMERCE, TX— Tiffany Kral received the “Clinical Teacher of the Year Award” from the Texas Directors of Field Experience (TDFE) for her student teaching at Commerce Independent School District. She was one of three teachers to accept the award at the Consortium of State Organizations for Texas Teacher Education (CSOTTE) on October 22 in Corpus Christi.
Kral credited part of her success to the faculty’s ability to communicate with her as a colleague as opposed to a student-in-training.
The following individuals were present for the awards ceremony: Timothy Letzring, Dean, College of Education and Human Services; Mark J. Reid, Associate Dean; Rhonda Clark, Coordinator of the Northeast Texas Center for Professional Development and Teaching; and Nicole Pearce, who supervised Tiffany’s student teaching.
Letzring said, “This recognition of Tiffany as a student teacher is a testament to her talent and commitment to teaching. We could not be prouder of her and also recognize the role of our faculty and the school partners who contributed to her success.”
Linda Mott, Director of Educator Certification and Academic Services, said, “Tiffany is an example of a true professional educator. She understands and knows that asking questions and continual learning is a hallmark of an effective teacher.” Mott was Kral’s sponsor for the award and a member of TDFE.
Kral, a Core Subjects EC-6 Special Education major, completed her student teaching in the spring of 2017 and now teaches 3rd grade math and science for Sulphur Springs ISD.
“Tiffany immersed herself wholeheartedly into her clinical teaching experience, seeking out every opportunity to gain pedagogical skills necessary for success as a future classroom teacher,” Pearce said.
