New Wildcats Basketball Coach Brandon Shaver Applauds Buy-Ins From His Athletes

New Wildcats basketball coach Brandon Shaver applauded his athletes for what he’s seen so far through three weeks of Edge.
When the Edge for basketball concluded last Thursday, July 1, it marked the halfway point for the summer strength and conditioning program.
Coach Shaver said the Edge has been going really well and numbers have been great.
The Wildcats played in a Texas Association of Basketball Coaches, or TABC event last weekend, and went 2-1 against stiff competition.
Shaver and his Wildcats beat San Antonio Cole, a tough District 26-3A school, and also bested the Woodlands Christian, a top TAPPS (Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools) program, before falling to Prosper.
Coach Shaver said playing tough competition early before the season gives the coach and his staff an excellent gauge for how well his team has progressed thus far, especially considering the coaching change for the Wildcats.
Coach Clark Cipoletta, former head coach of the Wildcats basketball team, accepted the head coaching position at Allen High School on May 11, about a month before the Edge was set to commence.

“Losing Cip is a hard thing,” Coach Shaver said about his predecessor’s departure. “He’s been here [a long time and] he’s done a great job,” Coach Shaver said.
The new Wildcats basketball coach said he has known Coach Cip the last couple of years while Coach Shaver was at Pine Tree, and that he and the former Wildcats basketball coach do a lot of things similarly. This is an added bonus to Wildcats athletes so that they do not have a major learning curve in play style.

Due to the fact that there is not a colossal change in philosophies of play, Coach Shaver said his athletes have picked up the new system incredibly well.
The Wildcats coach applauded his student-athletes for being coachable kids.
Coach Shaver said all that his staff needed to do now was put a little bit of a different spin on what they already know, but the new Wildcats coach applauded his student-athletes.
“The kids have been great,” Coach Shaver said. “They’re buying in, they’re talking, they’re communicating, they’re doing [all of] the things we’re asking them to,” the Wildcats coach said.
A large part of the buy-in must be given credit to the incoming senior class who has provided an invaluable leadership to this team.
One player he mentioned for his value not just in regards to leadership was Justin Haire, a Wildcat Coach Shaver has received calls from college coaches about.
Coach Shaver said that Haire is a coach’s dream not just from on the floor, but his leadership off the court and everything has been great.
The new Wildcats basketball coach cited Haire’s buy-in as a big reason for other players buying-in to the new coaching staff.
“Change is always tough, but these guys are locked in,” Coach Shaver said.

The new Wildcats basketball coach said it has been a bit of culture change, going from Pine Tree in Longview to Sulphur Springs, in that at Pine Tree he was building a program.
Coach Cipoletta, Coach Shaver said, has already done that here and some, so him and his staff must do what they can to sustain the success and the expectation of such that his predecessor started and put his own twist on it.
The notable advantage, Coach Shaver said, is that he has guys that already love to be in the gym.
The new Wildcats basketball coach said that when he was a player he was the same way, and to have a roster and community already fostered under previous Coach Cipoletta, coaching these Wildcats should be a lot of fun, Coach Shaver said.
The Edge runs from 8-10 A.M. Mondays through Thursday for students entering the seventh through ninth grades and 10 A.M. until noon for students entering the tenth through twelfth grades. The Edge takes place in the Main Gym at Sulphur Springs High School until July 22.
The Boys Basketball camp will also be held next week, July 12-15, also in the SSHS Main Gym, and will take place from 5-6 P.M. for students entering kindergarten through fourth grade, and shortly thereafter the camp for students entering the fifth through eighth grades will take place from 6:30 P.M. until 8:30 P.M.
The cost of the camp is $50.

Independence Day Celebration A Big Hit
Following more than a year sans regular observances and events, the 29th Annual Independence Day Celebration held appropriately on Celebration Plaza in Sulphur Springs was a big hit. Many brought lawn chairs and blankets for family and friends to enjoy the military march, concert and fireworks. Others enjoyed their meals al fresco at downtown restaurants, soaking in the festive spirit and music performed by Northeast Texas Symphony Orchestra.

Officials began assembling the stage the day before, then completed it Saturday. A sound crew also worked in advance to provide a quality experience for those listening.
By the start of the fireworks event the square was filled with folks happy to be able to get together celebrate the freedom afford to United States residents. Even the water cooperated, with temperatures and humidity a bit lower by 8 p.m., and a slight breeze too.
The evening of wholesome entertainment was produced by Northeast Texas Symphony League, and dedicated in memory to the late Tom Stewart, an avid supporter of the symphony who passed away Dec. 11, 2020. NETSL Board member Adam Teer served as master of ceremony for the event. Tom Sellers, president of Alliance Bank, welcomed everyone to the event.
Hopkins County Military Coalition lead a small gathering of other veterans from Connally Street onto the square, recognizing those men and women who have ensured our freedom through their service and sacrifices. The Military Coalition then posted the colors, with the Pledge of Allegiance to the US flag lead by Sulphur Springs Mayor John Sellers. Paul Harvey, CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital Sulphur Springs CEO, offered a prayer of thanks for all to be able to meet and gather together this year to celebrate Independence Day.
KSST Radio had a booth where staff members encouraged those in attendance to register for a chance to win one of eight US flags, with winners announced during the concert by KSST Sports Director Ross Labenske and Savannah Everett, host of the morning show on KSST’s sister station KRVA Radio 107.1 Each of the eight winners received a flag, pole and mounting brackets. CMFH-SS also had a tent set up and gave away items such as hand sanitizer keyrings and information.
The Northeast Texas Symphony Orchestra, with Douglas Bakenhus as conductor, then performed a selection of patriotic music including The Star Spangled Banner, National Emblem March, Egmont Overture, We Shall Overcome, Lift Every Voice and Sing, A new Birth of Freedom, Ashokan Farewell, Joplin 2 Ragtime Dance, Sing-Along America, God Bless the USA, America the Beautiful and Start and Stripes Forever. Lending vocal talents to two of the songs were Sydnee Hawkins, and Della Cleveland and Trelandra Miles. David Woody also served as a narrator for one song.
Aria Kay Potts served as an enthusiastic guest for one song during the event; the spot is auctioned every year during the KSST/Channel 18 live Symphony League Auction. Similarly, Brayden Moreland was excited to serve as honorary fireworks detonator, pushing the lever to officially start the fireworks show which followed the concert.
While some would have liked a longer fireworks show, the overall feeling of most as they departed downtown was enjoyment of a good wholesome evening they were able to spend together as a community – something appreciated just a little bit more in 2021 after so many canceled events in 2020.

The event would not have been possible without support of several businesses, financial institutions and individuals. Hopkins County EMS had two ambulances staged just off the square to respond if needed and local firefighters also were in attendance at the event. Sulphur Springs Police Department provided officers who walked the grounds on and around downtown as a safety measure.
The next Symphony League event will be the annual auction which will be broadcast live this fall on KSST 1230 AM.
I-30 Vehicle Pursuit Ends In Chili’s Parking Lot

Texas Transportation Commission Approves Most Funding Ever For Transit
AUSTIN – With help from federal COVID-19 relief funding, the Texas Transportation Commission has approved $89 million in transit funding at its June meeting. It’s the largest amount of funding at one time for transit agencies across the state. This funding supports equitable, reliable transit services that are an essential part of life for many people across Texas. These funds support rural and urban transit services in over 96% of the state’s land area, serving 41% of the state’s population. State funds: $35 million Federal funds: $54 million The funding includes over $10 million from the federal American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act to help transit agencies manage the impacts of COVID-19. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Texas transit agencies have worked diligently to maintain safe and reliable transit services throughout the state. TxDOT funding contributed to the nearly 20 million transit rides provided in Fiscal Year 2020, even during the pandemic. “When most services shut down during the pandemic, these transit agencies continued serving thousands of Texans across the state,” TxDOT Executive Director Marc Williams said. “In a time when they were needed most, these agencies helped people get to jobs, groceries or the medical care they needed. This additional funding will continue to improve access for Texans, enabling TxDOT to fulfill our mission of ‘Connecting You with Texas.’” “During the pandemic we saw how important these transit agencies are for many Texans, especially in the more rural regions of the state,” Texas Transportation Commissioner Alvin New said. “Transit can be a lifeline for many people, and I’m happy to see this amount of funding go to these communities.” These funds also include over $7 million for selected public transportation projects that address the needs of seniors and individuals with disabilities. There were 39 projects across the state selected in a competitive process to receive funding, including: Valley Metro in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, which will be able to expand its transit service offerings with on-demand microtransit, increasing its flexibility in scheduling and routes, and offering advance reservations to seniors and individuals with disabilities. Spartan Public Transportation in the Levelland area, which will be able to fill existing service gaps, maintain vehicles, pay mobility managers who help plan and manage trips, and purchase four accessible replacement vehicles. South East Texas Regional Planning Commission in the Beaumont area, which will use these funds to continue and expand its collaborative work with local transit agencies that provide seniors with curb-to-curb paratransit service to nutrition centers, Area Agency on Aging programs, and foster grandparent programs. The approved awards fund public transportation providers in rural, small urban, and large urban areas. Funds can be used to support a combination of service and capital program expenses. Each transit agency determines specifically what they pay for with the funds they receive. Visit here for a list of the agencies and communities that received funds.

Quitman Resident Arrested For DWI Following Three-Vehicle Crash
A 32-year-old Quitman resident was arrested for DWI following a three-vehicle crash on State Highway 154 south early Saturday morning, July 3, 2021.
Hopkins County sheriff’s deputies were told one man involved possibly intoxicated and acting belligerent. Upon arrival around 12:15 a.m. July 3, the sheriff’s officer noted a Toyota Tacoma and two other vehicles damaged. The people in the two other vehicles said the man had passed out in the seat of the pickup and that they had tried to render aid to him. He allegedly awakened, accelerated his vehicle and struck the two other vehicles then fled on foot.
A search of the truck revealed an ID and an open container of alcohol in the rear floorboard. Deputies began searching the nearby wooded area for the pickup’s driver. The other motorists were released. One soon returned, reporting the man in the truck was spotted sitting on a guardrail south of the crash site.
Deputies observed evidence he was traveling toward a residence, then spotted the man and ordered him to stop. When he didn’t immediately, the officers pursued the man to the edge of a wooded area, where he was apprehended.
The truck was towed away and the Quitman man was transported to jail where. He exhibited all six possible clues of intoxication in both eyes on horizontal gaze nystagmus tests and was unsuccessful when attempting standard field sobriety tests. The man reportedly agreed to a blood draw, which was taken at the hospital just before 2 a.m. Saturday.
He was returned to jail, where he was booked on misdemeanors evading arrest or detention charge and driving while intoxicated charges. The 32-year-old remained in the county jail Saturday afternoon in lieu of $5,000 bond — $2,500 per charge.

If you have an emergency, dial 9-1-1
The Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office is located at 298 Rosemont Sulphur Springs, TX 75482. You can reach them for non-emergency matters at (903) 438-4040.
