Lady Cats Soccer Loses Tight One to Mount Pleasant Friday 1-0
Sulphur Springs completed a brutal two-game road stand which pitted Lady Cats soccer up against the top two teams in District 15-5A.
Unfortunately for Coach Javier Aguayo’s team, they ended up on the wrong side of a 1-0 victory for Mount Pleasant.
Excluding their 11-0 drubbing of Marshall on Tuesday, Feb. 8, women’s soccer played one of their best games since district season began in late January.
A win Friday would have been huge for Sulphur Springs as the Lady Cats attempt to make a late run for the postseason.
Instead, Friday’s loss in Mount Pleasant all but eliminates women’s soccer from the playoffs.
Coach Aguayo’s squad find themselves a few games back from 4 seeds Texas High and Pine Tree (both 4-4), #3 Mount Pleasant (5-3) and second place Hallsville (5-2).
With only five games left in district for Sulphur Springs, 2.5 games back of the 4 seeds, the Lady Cats are all but eliminated from postseason contention.
The only way in which women’s soccer can make the postseason now is by winning out, and getting help in the form of Pine Tree and Texas High both losing out.
The math is not on the Lady Cats’ side as the above listed scenario has less than a 1% chance of occurring.
Next up, women’s soccer are back at home on Tuesday, Mar. 1 hosting Texas High (4-4).
That game kicks off at the Prim 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.
NETLA Hopkins County Junior Market Livestock Show 2022 Poultry Contest
The NETLA Hopkins County Junior Market Livestock Show 2022 Poultry Contest lead Friday’s activities. Youth filled the arena with pens, buckets, boxes and other containers filled with the chickens the students raised. In front of the stands on one end of the Arena, two rows cages of broilers were filled when the poultry show started shortly after 8 a.m. Friday, Feb. 25, 2022.
Top honors went to Como-Pickton FFA member Micah Flemens for his Senior Showmanship honors for at least the fourth yea. Flemens also received Senior Showmanship and Reserve Champion honors while representing Hopkins County 4-H in the poultry contest in 2021, at the 2020 broiler show and in 2018. Senior showmanship consists or projects raised by youth ages 14 years or older
Friday was also at least the second consecutive year Hopkins County 4-H member Miley McCormack received the Intermediate Showmanship honors as well. Miley also earned Junior Showmanship recognition in the poultry contest in a prior year as well.
Georgia Glenn, another Hopkins County 4-H member, Friday received the Junior Showmanship award for poultry.
Showmanship Awards were provided by Burgin Pipe & Supply, CATOCON, Running Creek Tractor, Tractor Supply co. and 5W Contracting.
Fourty-two lots of chickens were selected for the Sale of Champions. Youth were told to be sure to have their birds back for the event Saturday. No birds were allowed to be left in cages at the Civic Center. Those who did not make the sale had the option of taking their birds home or donating them in a trailer to Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office to be used in meals for inmates.
Poultry are shown after the four other classes or livestock, with first steers, then swine, lamb and goat. After one project (or lot in the case of chickens) are sold in each group, then the sale order repeats. A total of 42 lots of chickens made the sale, NETLA officials reported.
The Sale of Champions begin at 1 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 26, 2022 in the Civic Center Arena. Funds raised will help the youth’s families recoup some of the cost of raising the livestock, go toward their next projects and toward future scholarships. A full sale list may be viewed on the NETLA Show Facebook page. NETLA also will accept add-on funding donations to go with purchases to benefit the students; visit the designated tables at the sale for additional information.

Wildcats Basketball Powers Their Way to 65-40 Area Win
Even scoring and a total team effort allowed Sulphur Springs a 65-40 win in the Area round on Friday, Feb. 25 in Forney.
Men’s basketball opened their second round match-up with Midlothian with a huge 19-5 first quarter.
“We came out and played well defensively,” Coach Brandon haver said Friday night following the Area win.

“We always talk about getting up early,” Coach Shaver said Friday night. The men’s basketball coach and his staff stress to their team competing for 32 minutes.
The third proved the most eventful. Both squads went blow-for-blow, hitting shot after shot.
Midlothian used a big third quarter from Kelton Williams, scoring 11 of his 25 in the quarter.
Unfortunately for the Panthers, he was something of a one-man show. Besides the junior’s 25, his team went cold; combining for just 15 points in the loss.
“We talked about at halftime that we know they’re gonna go on a run,” Coach Shaver said. “We knew we would take their punch,” the men’s basketball coach said.
While Midlothian scored 13 in the fourth, the most scored in a quarter by the Panthers, the damage had already been done as Sulphur Springs got a big 65-40 win over Midlothian.
The men’s basketball coach credits his team for their buy-in and hard work.
“It’s these guys,” Coach Shaver said, “…working hard in practice which now turns over into games,” the men’s basketball coach said.
Parker Whisenhunt made the most of his starting opportunity, leading the Wildcats in scoring at 15.
Seniors Caleb Alexander and Justin Haire finished just a field goal behind at 13.
Kordrick Turner scored 12 in the win over the Panthers and Brandon Lynn, the fifth and final Wildcat to finished in double figures got 10. Cason Arrington and Cole Theofiledes rounded scoring for the Wildcats with a free throw apiece.
The Area win over Midlothian moves men’s basketball on to the the third round of playoffs.

Next up, Coach Shaver and his squad take on Lufkin on Tuesday in the Regional Quarterfinals.

NETLA Hopkins County Junior Market Livestock Show 2022 Ag Mechanics Contest
The weeklong Hopkins County Junior Market Livestock Show and Sale conducted by Northeast Texas Livestock Association kicked off Tuesday afternoon with the annual Ag Mechanics Show.
Students from all seven Hopkins County school districts built and brought projects, which ranged from students first ever attempts to commissioned projects and those that have already received awards this year at other contests. Some projects took hours, others took weeks and months to complete.
Union Grove ISD agriculture instructor Josh Shafer judged the entries, submitted Feb. 22, 2022 in nine different classes. Ribbons were awarded to top ranked entries in each class. Banners were awarded to the Grand Champion, Reserved Grand Champion and Showmanship award winners, who will get to take home belt buckles denoting the achievement awarded during the sale of champions.
Shafer said with no prior knowledge of any of the school programs or projects, but was very impressed with the Hopkins County students’ projects. He said while not all were top to bottom a first place entry, there were a lot of close decisions, indicative of the time, effort, care the students put into the quality projects.
In addition to winning the first place ribbon in Class 8, North Hopkins students won the Grand Champion award with their 28-foot gooseneck lowboy trailer. Built and shown by Roan Adair and Cory Long, the heavy duty trailer was customized to be used by the school as their project trailer, with school logos and initials on the front and back ramps. The project was a challenge, making adjustments as needed, and the welding. The trailer can be used not only to haul things for the school, but is designed so the front can house a workstation and so a pike won’t stick out too far behind or from the side of the trailer.
The Reserve Grand Champion award for the NETLA Ag Mechanics Show was project 3, a 14-foot utility trailer built by Como-Pickton students. The trailer earned a blue ribbon for placing first in Class 3.
