Removing A Tree Stump
By David Wall, Mount Pleasant Master Gardener
Over 60 years ago, the biggest oak tree in our yard came down in a storm, leaving a stump around 40” in diameter. Mechanized tree stump removal was not available, so Dad went shopping and came home with a can of tree stump removal costing nearly $20, which was high- cost in the mid-1950s.
Today, professional, mechanized stump removal is quite common, but it isn’t cheap. A new stump removal product is available today for only a few dollars, and this new magic solvent is Epsom salts (ES)! Yes, besides helping your tomato plants grow tastier fruit, helping roses produce brighter blooms, killing weeds, and providing many other uses, ES will make a stump quickly rot, by drawing out moisture from the stump and roost, shortening the decaying time from several years to months.
SO, how does this work? OK, first you need to own, rent, or borrow a drill with a ½” bit. Then, you need to drill holes in the stump. You can start 3” in from the outer bark and work your 2way in, or start dead center and work your way out. Holes should be as deep as the drill bit is long, up to 8” deep.
Next, purchase enough ES (start with a quart) to fill the holes. Then, moisten the ES with water. That’s moisten, not flush, which will wash away some of the Epsom salts. Now, leave it alone to do its work. If rains are forecast, cover the stump with plastic, tarp, etc.
Reapplication may be required every few weeks. Length of time for the stump to “die” is dependent on the stump size. Place Epsom salts on any exposed roots to increase the dehydration effect. Oh, by the way, that $20 tree stump removal product in the 1950s? It largely contained ES!!!
Wildcats Soccer Goes 3-0 at Home Last Week, Hosting Pittsburg Tuesday
Coach Alexi Upton and his team finally get something of a breather. This past week saw Wildcats soccer play three games over five days, remaining unscathed as district play progresses.
Through four games Sulphur Springs is the lone undefeated team in 15-4A, a perfect 4-0 with second-place Paris at 3-1.
Speaking of those Wildcats, Coach Upton and his team hosted Paris on Thursday (a game that was originally scheduled for Tuesday but was pushed back due to the game being rained out, not to mention lightning).
The men’s soccer team had to rough it out in PKs, but the Wildcats won in the shootout 3-2.
Monday, making up a game that should have been their district opener, Sulphur Springs welcomed Liberty Eylau to town and thrashed the Leopards, 10-0. L.E. fielded a soccer team this season for the first time in two years, so Coach Upton wanted to keep it as close as possible and not run up the score.
Capping off a huge week, on Friday, the Wildcats welcomed Mount Pleasant Chapel Hill, their third opponent at the Prim in almost as many days.
Coach Upton and his team won big over the Red Devils 4-0, their second shutout win of the week.
Sulphur Springs scored thrice in the second period, cruising to another blowout district win.
Jefferson Bonilla put it it in himself to get scoring underway, but Edgar Salazar’s goal in the second began a big period for the Wildcats. Garrett Robinson scored another goal for the men’s soccer team, assisted by Salazar, to blow the game open 3-0.
Jose Rodriguez ended another big scoring night for Sulphur Springs. The Wildcat also assisted on the first goal in the victory.
Following a 3-0 week, the men’s soccer team is 4-0 in district play, sitting atop district 15-4A a third of the way through.
Coach Upton and his team are again at home Tuesday, Feb. 14 hosting Pittsburg.
That game kicks off at the Prim Tuesday night at 7:15 P.M.
KSST is proud to be the official Wildcat and Lady Cat Station. We broadcast Sulphur Springs ISD games year round live on radio. When allowed, we also broadcast games via our YouTube channel.

Lady Cats Soccer Remains Undefeated, Back in Action Tuesday
February 2023 – Coach Adriana Brena and Lady Cats soccer won big in Paris on Tuesday for their second straight win. Sulphur Springs won 6-1 in Paris on Tuesday, Feb. 7.
The women’s soccer team scored early and often in their Tuesday road-win.
Sulphur Springs scored four times in the first period in their blowout win. Even with Paris scoring in that period, it did little to cushion the blow as the Lady Cats scored twice more on Tuesday.
Following the 6-1 win on Tuesday, the women’s soccer team is 9-5 overall (2-0 district).
Remaining perfect through two games of 15-4A play, Coach Brena and her squad are the lone undefeated team in the district.
They took Friday off before heading to Pittsburg next Tuesday, Feb. 14.
Tuesday’s game in Pittsburg is varsity only, kicking off at 7 P.M.
KSST is proud to be the official Wildcat and Lady Cat Station. We broadcast Sulphur Springs ISD games year round live on radio. When allowed, we also broadcast games via our YouTube channel.
Wildcats Basketball Hosts Senior Night Tuesday
Coach Brandon Shaver and his team are just one win away from completing a perfect 10-0 district season.
Tuesday has Wildcats basketball again at home on Tuesday, Feb. 14 hosting Pittsburg. The visiting Panthers remain winless at 0-9 heading into the regular-season finale.
On Friday Sulphur Springs began their two-game home-stand hosting Pleasant Grove, and for the second time this season the Wildcats win big over the Hawks, this time bye a score of 70-43.
A low-scoring, defensive affair at the onset, both squads wrestled for momentum.
It took until the closing minutes of the opening quarter before Sulphur Springs was able to build some distance between themselves and PG.
From there, it was all Wildcats all the time as Coach Shaver’s team went on to win big 70-43.
Another even scoring night for the men’s basketball team, two seniors finished ahead of the pack: Parker Whisenhunt and Kordrick Turner both scored 17 in the win Friday.
Theo McKelvey, Malachi Myles and Mac Rollison all got eight points Friday, followed by Branson Lynn with six.
Rounding out scoring in Friday’s big win, Gavin White and Cole Theofiledes combined for six.
Following the 70-43 win on Friday, Feb. 10 Wildcats basketball is now 27-7 heading into their final regular season contest.
Coach Shaver and his team have an excellent opportunity to wrap up a perfect district season if they take care of business at home versus Pittsburg (0-9).
Tuesday’s home date with the Panthers is Senior Night for Sulphur Springs, with festivities set to begin prior to the 7 P.M. tipoff.
That match will not only be broadcasted onto KSST 1230 AM, but Tuesday’s Senior Night matchup with the Panthers is set to be broadcasted onto KSST Radio’s Youtube channel.

Lady Cats Basketball Bi-District Opponent Firmed Up
Coach Bryan Jones and his team travels to Grand Saline Monday to play in the first round of the playoffs.
Lady Cats basketball takes on Van in Bi-District.
The Lady Vandals went a stellar 11-1 in their district, winning 16-4A and as a result heading into the playoffs as the #1 seed.
Sulphur Springs will have their hands full in the opening round of playoffs.
Coach Jones and his team last hosted North Lamar on Tuesday for Senior Night.
Hoping to upset the Pantherettes, coached by former head coach Brittney Tisdell, and early it looked as though maybe the Lady Cats could pull off the upset.
Leading by six, 13-7 in the second, coach Tisdell called a timeout and whatever she said to her troops worked as North Lamar outscored the Lady Cats the rest of the way 42-23.
Kenzie Willis had a huge night, scoring 14 in the Senior Night loss. Kyra Carter was next up with six, followed closely by Trinity Jefferson and Rainey Johnson at five. Codee Roland scored four with Addisyn Wall rounding out scoring with a free throw made in the third quarter.
Handing Sulphur Springs their fourth district loss, it slipped the Lady Cats down to 6-4. Tuesday’s Senior Night loss also snaps a four-game winning streak.
Unfortunately for Coach Jones and his team, that fourth district loss put them in a three-way tie with Paris and Liberty Eylau for second. Even more unfortunately, the Lady Cats ended up sliding down to 4th due to district tiebreakers.
Now, they travel to Grand Saline for the opening round of playoffs.
The women’s basketball team from Sulphur Springs on Monday takes on 16-4A champ Van in the Bi-District round of playoffs at 6 P.M.
Monday’s opening-round playoff game will be broadcasted onto KSST 1230 AM.
