Lady Cats Defeat Athens 10-0
Lady Cats Softball Coach David Carrillo said his team played very well in their season opening 10-0 win in Athens Monday afternoon. The game was moved up to a 4:30 p.m. start to try and have better weather.
Coach Carrillo said he was pleased with the Lady Cats’ pitching, hitting and defense Monday. Bailey Haggerty threw a one hit shutout over five innings and struck out five. Brinklee Driver clubbed a home run over the center field wall. Landri Bell and Alli Fite had multiple hit games. Lady Cat fielders committed only one error.
The only thing that is currently displeasing Coach Carrillo is the weather forecast for the rest of the week with the Sulphur Springs Tournament planned Thursday through Saturday. Coach Carrillo continues to monitor weather apps and he is not liking what he’s seeing.
Wildcat Baseball Seeks to Narrow Pitching Staff to Five
The Wildcats’ baseball team had a second scrimmage Friday at Terrell and Wildcats Coach Jerrod Hammack said he got to evaluate four more pitchers. Coach Hammack said he has ten pitchers he is looking at, perhaps the most pitching he’s ever had.
Four pitchers worked Thursday night in Sherman. Friday Coach Hammack looked at Kamren Harrison, Brady Crouse, Dawson Draper and Pacen Edwards. Coach Hammack said they all threw pretty well. Terrell managed only three hits. Coach Hammack said he still wants to see Jase Thompson and Kaden Argenbright on the mound.
He said everyone also got a couple of at bats against live pitching Friday night and he added some of them did some good things at the plate. Coach Hammack said the pitchers were doing so well he hasn’t had much of a chance to see the Wildcats’ fielders in action. Coach Hammack said he would be looking for about five main pitchers to use in district games. He said all of his pitchers would get some action during five game tournaments coming up before district play.
The Wildcats have a scheduled third scrimmage Tuesday evening in Royse City weather permitting.

SSISD Board of Trustees Approve Amended General Fund Budget; Hear Reports; Celebrate Individual School Success
Sulphur Springs Schools Board of Trustees approved an amended general fund budget, heard numerous reports, and celebrated the successes at Travis Elementary School Tuesday night during their February board meeting.
The school’s general fund budget will increase $1,706,604 bringing the general fund budget to $38,389,530. The increase in the general fund budget comes from three specific projects: a rebuild of Prim Stadium, $702,721; Improvements to Lady Cat Park, $256,320; and the new Wildcat baseball field $747,563. No other adjustments have been made to the budget other than line item changes.
Superintendent Michael Lamb reported to the board that the school’s Vision, Mission, and Values Statements have become a daily guide for the administration. He stated that the board helped forge the statement and is holding the administration accountable to the vision, mission, and values that have been set. The Vision Statement says that the school desires to become a school that is “Educating all students to their fullest potential.” He stated that “…fullest potential” is different for each student but the desire to assist students in becoming the best they can be in all areas of life is the motivation for all that is performed in the educational and extra-curricular process of the school.
He noted the Mission Statement: “Provide students with the skills that will prepare them to adapt and excel in a fast-changing world, enabling them to lead productive lives. The district shares with parents and the community the responsibility of promoting high standards and expectations as [the school] provides opportunities for all students within the diverse community to attain personal growth and to become lifelong learners.”
The Value Statements or goals for the district include four specific values:
- Students will be encouraged and challenged to meet their full potential.
- Students will be educated in learning environments that are safe, drug-free, and conducive to learning.
- Students will be taught by highly qualified and exceptionally trained staff.
- SSISD will encourage parent/guardian and community involvement in school activities.
Lamb and the board have set as Primary Initiatives:
- At least 95% of all students reading on grade level when they attain the 3rd grade year.
- At least 70% of all student groups will score at least “Approaches” on 2018 STAAR (all subjects), especially African-American, Economically Disadvantaged, and At-Risk.
Lamb and Assistant Josh Williams, who made a later report to the board, noted that the process of evaluating and affirming the values and initiative are in place throughout the system.
A video presentation by students from Travis Primary School informed the board regarding the audio visual skills being developed by students on the campus as they presented a video newsletter.
During the reports on each school (highlights noted here):
- Douglas Intermediate (5th Grade) is sponsoring a Spelling Bee on three Fridays with 80 participants the first week, the top 30 the second week and the top 10 students the final week. STAAR Practice Test was given February 6-7. Eighty percent (80%) of students had a higher score on the 5th grade test than the 4th grade test.
- SS Elementary UIL teams have been finalized Grades 2-4 will begin practicing together February 13th with the Elementary UIL meet at Pine Tree March 24. The book buddies program is growing with 60 book buddies and 100 students participating.
- Bowie Primary had over 170 people attend Family Fun Night. Forty (40) students tried out for four different UIL teams. Science Classes are planning the building of raised gardens.
- ECLC-K/T1 currently has 120 readers.
At Sulphur Springs Middle School:
- Academic UIL placed 2nd overall in district.
- Regional Science Fair had four students advance
- UIL Solo and Ensemble saw 123 students receive First Division Medals

Commissioners’ Begin Dirt Work for New Law Enforcement Center Courtroom; Forge Agreement With City of Commerce
Monday morning, each Hopkins County Commissioner had dump trucks hauling dirt from Luminant’s coal mine property to the location of the new county Law Enforcement Center as work has begun on the foundation for the new Hopkins County law enforcement center to be located beside the county jail. All four precincts are participating in hauling the donated dirt from the land fill at the coal mine saving tax payer money. The dirt haul project is expected to take two days weather permitting.
The 100 seat courtroom will be connected to the jail facility by an enclosed walkway. Hopkins County Judge Robert Newsom stated that this is for the safety of the public. The new courtroom will be used for docket calls as well as trials for those who are suspected of being dangerous or associated with dangerous crime situations according to Newsom. He said the courthouse second story courtroom, often called the district courtroom, will be used daily by County Court at Law, the 62nd District Court, and by the 8th Judicial Court for trials that do not put the public at risk.
Monday, during the Commissioners’ Court regular session in the first floor courtroom at the county courthouse, commissioners approved an agreement with the City of Commerce affirming the mutual aid that is already in place between the city and Hopkins County Fire Department. This agreement and agreements with surrounding cities provides an avenue for Hopkins County to seek lower insurance ratings for its residents. Structural fires are the primarily area of assistance for the entities.
Commissioners also contracted Clifford Power to provide maintenance for the county’s 19 power generators. Judge Newsom stated that for the first time the county will use a company that can detect problems in generators before the problems renders the equipment inadequate for a power failure. Computer checks of the equipment will be run every 6 months to assure they are in working order.
