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.

Wildcats Senior Night Last District Game Before Play-offs
Wildcats Basketball Coach Clark Cipoletta said one of his points of emphasis for the Greenville game last Friday was for his team to come out focused from the start of the game. On KSST Radio and Cable Channel 18’s Saturday Morning Coaches Show, Coach Cipoletta said his team did just that on their way to a 75-42 win at Greenville Friday night.
Coach Cipoletta said the Wildcats had ten straight stops to start the game against the Lions. Sophomore Cameron Kahn led the Wildcats with 16 points. Coach Cipoletta called Kahn a special talent and he said Kahn scored 16 straight points during the fourth quarter. All of the Wildcats on the roster got to play against Greenville. Coach Cipoletta said it warmed his heart to see his starters cheering on the bench players when the reserves were on the floor.
The Wildcats have already clinched the district’s number one seed in the playoffs. They could still end up in a co-championship with Mount Pleasant if the Wildcats slip up and lose against Hallsville Tuesday night. A victory against the Bobcats could produce a district championship for the Wildcats, something that has not happened in Sulphur Springs for several decades.
Tuesday is also Senior Night. Honored will be Dedric Godbolt, Bryson Lynn, Iverson Wade and I’vyn Clayton.
Coach Cipoletta said a possible bi-district opponent for them will be determined Tuesday night as Lovejoy plays West Mesquite. The Wildcats will play the winner. Coach Cipoletta said our region in the playoffs will present challenges for the Wildcats in every round.
KSST Radio will bring you all of the action of the Wildcats and Hallsville Bobcats’ game Tuesday night beginning at 7:30 p.m. We will also videotape the game for replay later on Channel 18 on Suddenlink Cable.

Coach Talk: Wildcat, Lady Cat Soccer
Wiggins on Wildcats Soccer Win
The Wildcats’ soccer team had been in a drought for goal scoring coming into Friday’s game at home against Texas High but then a gully washer occurred. The Wildcats scored ten times in a 10-1 win. Texas High actually scored first on a corner kick. Then the Wildcats missed several chances. After the Wildcats finally tied the match with a goal, two more followed in the first half. The Wildcats led 3-1 at the half. They scored seven second half goals. Wildcats Coach Nicky Wiggins hopes the goal scoring becomes contagious. Having won two matches in a row, Coach Wiggins would rather have another game Tuesday rather than a bye. He says his team will probable have a game like scrimmage Tuesday to keep the team going like they are. The Wildcats return to play Friday at Mount Pleasant. Coach Wiggins says the Tigers have their top two goal scorers from last year back and he adds there is nothing pleasant about playing in Mount Pleasant.
Bailey on Lady Cats Emotional Win
The Lady Cats’ soccer team earned a 3-1 district win at Texas High Friday night and the match was very special because the Lady Tigers are now coached by former Lady Cats Coach Jesus DeLeon. Lady Cats Coach Joel Bailey said before the game the Lady Cats gave hugs to their old coach. Coach Bailey said once the game began the Lady Cats played with purpose, not to defeat Coach Deleon, but to win against the Lady Tigers. He said with the Lady Cats amped up for the game, they got on the Lady Tigers early and played a complete game. The Lady Cats did surrender their first district goal of the season. Coach Bailey said it occurred on a rebound after a corner kick. He said a Lady Tiger got off a wicked shot. Coach Bailey said keeper McKenna Gammill got a piece of the ball but it still went into the net. The game was tied 1-1 at half. The Lady Cats got two second half goals to put the game away. The Lady Cats are in first place with a 3-0 district mark. After a bye Tuesday, the Lady Cats play Mount Pleasant at Gerald Prim Stadium Friday night. With the Lady Cats playing so well, Coach Bailey said he wishes the Lady Cats were playing a game Tuesday night.
