Royal Caribbean Plans to Send Another Ship to Galveston
Royal Caribbean is scheduled to send one of their classic ships to Galveston. The Vision of the Seas will join another Royal Caribbean ship, the Liberty of the Seas that already is in Galveston. Although the Vision was built in 1998 and was the first of the “Vision” series of ships, it recently went through a massive revitalization including upgrades to every stateroom as well as updates to all of the public spaces as well. Originally, the Vision of the Seas will offer mostly 5-day sailings from Galveston visiting Puerto Costa Maya and Cozumel, Mexico. The first sailing for the Vision of the Seas out of Galveston will be November 6th, and will offer cruises from the Texas port until the middle of April, 2018 where it will then head off to Europe and offer 10-12 day cruises of Northern Europe. Reservations for the Vision of the Seas are already being offered. With inside cabins starting at less than $350 per person on some sailings, this can be a very affordable vacation choice.

Marshall Come From Behind Win Stops Wildcats Win Streak
The Wildcats’ baseball team, ranked #13 in the state in Class 5A, jumped out to a 4-0 lead at Marshall Friday afternoon only to see the Mavericks rally and take a 5-4 win. The Wildcats slip to 8-1 in district play and into a first place tie in the loss column with Hallsville. The Wildcats are now 14-6-1 for the season.
The loss ended a ten game winning streak for the Wildcats. The Wildcats scored two runs in the top of the first and added single runs in the third and fourth innings to take a 4-0 lead. Marshall finally got on the scoreboard with a run in the bottom of the fourth. The Mavericks cut the lead to 4-2 after five innings. The sixth did the Wildcats in as the Mavericks scored three times to take the lead. When the Wildcats did not score in the seventh, Marshall had the win. Marshall outhit the Wildcats nine to four.
For the Wildcats, Heston Golightly drove home two runs and Michael Arnold and Ryan Humphries had one RBI apiece. Humphries pitched the first five and a third innings for the Wildcats.
The Wildcats have a bye next Tuesday. Their next game will be at Mt. Pleasant next Friday.
Wildcats Face Marshall Friday Afternoon; Seek to Continue District Sweep
Don’t get him wrong. Wildcats Baseball Coach Jerrod Hammack is enjoying being 8-0 in district play after a 6-3 win over Texas High at Eagle Stadium Thursday night. Still he wouldn’t mind if his team won a little easier.
The score was 3-3 going into the bottom of the sixth when the Wildcats scored 3 runs to take a 6-3 lead. Coach Hammack says the win put the Wildcats into the playoffs and he notes that’s always a team first initial goal. He hopes his team can continue to play well and win a district championship. It’s been a while since one of his team’s did that. He says it would be a big deal to be the #1 seed in the district in the playoffs.
Coach Hammack says he knew Texas High would give the Wildcats a good game since the Tigers are fighting for the fourth playoff spot in the district. He says his Wildcats are finding ways to win. The win meant a Wildcats sweep of the Tigers and Coach Hammack says Texas High doesn’t get swept often. The win also kept the Wildcats one game ahead of Hallsville.
Despite the Wildcats district mark, their ten straight wins and overall 14-5-1 season record, Coach Hammack still does not believe his team is hitting on all cylinders. He was happy to see Dawson Draper get a big hit to the wall. Coach Hammack admits he took a chance sending Michael Arnold to the plate on the Draper hit. All worked out well when the Texas High catcher dropped the ball and Arnold scored the leading run.
Coach Hammack says Triston McCormick struggled with control early but battled and was able to finish the game just a few pitches under the maximum pitch count. He says he was pleased that the Wildcats played error-free ball.
The Wildcats will have no time to savor the victory. They have a make up game at Marshall Friday at 2 p.m. Ace Ryan Humphries will pitch for the Wildcats. Coach Hammack notes that Marshall has been a tough place for the Wildcats to play. They last won there in 2010. One good sign. That win seven years ago took place during a day game and the Wildcats and Mavericks will play a day game Friday.
