Pine Tree Volleyball Win
Lady Cats Volleyball Coach Justin Maness said his team played a complete game against Pine Tree in a 3-0 win at home Friday. Coach Maness said the entire team played well. He said Pine Tree was a good team having defeated Hallsville this season. The first two sets especially featured long rallies. Coach Maness said he told his team they can’t get deflated when one of those long rallies goes against them.
Right side net player Madi Vickery had several big kills at the crucial part of set one. Coach Maness said she has been playing very well. He said the position is primarily a blocking one but he said Madi was also getting some kills when opportunities arose. Coach Maness acknowledged that several of his players were killing the ball hard. He mentioned Mieke VanBenthem and Autumn Tanton. Kaylee Jefferson has been too. The Lady Cats ended the first half at 4-2. Coach Maness said one or perhaps two matches got away from the Lady Cats in the first half. The Lady Cats open the second half against Hallsville on the road Tuesdaynight. Hallsville won in Sulphur Springs back on September 15.
Mount Pleasant Titus County Fair Invitational Cross Country Meet Results
The Wildcats’ cross country team finished first and the Lady Cats were second at the Mount Pleasant Titus County Fair Invitational Saturday. It served as a good district preview. All of the district’s teams, except Hallsville, were present and the course will be the site of the district cross country meet on October 10. After a two week absence due to injury, Landon Thornton returned and finished second in the race. Peyton Vickery was sixth. Andrew Escobar, Nabian Ramirez and Christian Palomino all finished in the top fifteen. Several runners were kept out of the race as a precaution according to Cross Country Coach Ross Hicks. For the Lady Cats, they were once again led by Sydney Washburn. Bailey Arrington was next. Then came Katlyn Ferrill. Coach Hicks said lots of his runners got personal bests Saturday. He said Mount Pleasant officials have changed the course some and it is now closer to a true 5K. The district meet is next for the Wildcats and Lady Cats. Coach Hicks said his runners will now cover a few less miles while hopefully upping their speed.

FORGERY ARRESTS
Regina Ann Pope
Willy Gibson
A man and a woman were arrested for forgery after counterfeit money was found in their possession Saturday night in Sulphur Springs.
City police officers were sent to the 1700 block of south Broadway on a report of suspicious activity. They discovered some counterfeit money and a firearm in an SUV the couple were in. 35-year old Willy Gibson of Shreveport, Louisiana was charged with forgery and with being a felon in possession of a firearm. Justice of the Peace Brad Cummings set total bond at $20,000 for Gibson. 38-year old Regina Ann Pope of Fort Worth was charged with forgery. JP Cummings set her bond at $10,000. The couple’s SUV was impounded.
Court Plea Agreement: 45 Years in Prison
55-year old Joe Lee Cathey was sentenced to 45-years in prison for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in Eighth District Court in Hopkins County Monday. The sentence was part of a plea agreement. A jury showed up to hear the case but they were excused from service by District Judge Eddie Northcutt. Cathey was originally offered a 30-year prison term in exchange for a plea of guilty but he rejected the state’s offer. Monday morning he decided to accept it but he was told it had already expired. The parties then agreed to the 45 year prison sentence. In the case, the defendant beat a female in the head repeatedly with a baseball bat, sending her to the hospital. After some questions about the defendant possibly being temporarily insane at the time of the crime, the court appointed a psychiatrist to examine the defendant and Dr. Michael Pittman determined that the defendant was both mentally competent to stand trial and legally sane at the time of the crime. Assistant DA Clay Harrison said the defendant pled guilty and agreed to 45 years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. He said under current parole rules and with his criminal history, that is effectively a life sentence. Harrison said the defendant will be eligible for parole when he is 77 years ago, although he is unlikely to receive it.
