Lady Cats Softball Cruises Past Texas High, 9-1
The Lady Cats Softball team started off strong and never looked back, soundly beating district foe Texas High in Texarkana 9-1 on Friday, Mar. 19
The bats came alive early and often for Coach David Carrillo’s softball team, as the Lady Cats quickly jumped out to a 2-0 lead at the beginning of the first.
After the leadoff hitter, Jayden Harper was able to single, Grace Magnuson was able to notch another hit against Texas High pitcher Mollie Fisher. It did not stop there, though, as Lady Cats starting pitcher Crimson Bryant doubled deep in to left field to drive home Harper and Magnuson.
Neither team would record another run for 4 more innings. The only team that recorded a hit during that span was Sulphur Springs, which came thanks to 3B Addison Caddell. Caddell finished batting 3 for 3 on the night.
But once again, the team that scored next was the Lady Cats, as Sulphur Springs was able to add on two more runs in the fifth to make it a comfortable 4-0 lead. Bryant recorded her third RBI of the night in the inning.
Coach Carrillo’s squad didn’t stop there, though.
Sulphur Springs was able to get 4 more runs in a wild 6th inning. It all started with Parris Pickett being hit by the pitcher, then the next four Lady Cat batters had hits. Caddell got her third hit on the night, followed by Matti Smith, who reached home thanks to a Harper RBI. Nylah Lindley got her second hit of the night when she crushed a ball deep to left field to get Harper home as well in a 2-run home run. Lindley also scored the final Lady Cats run in the top of the seventh as they blew-out district foe Texas High, 9-1 in Texarkana.
Coach David Carrillo’s team finished the night with 16 hits.
Starting pitcher Crimson Bryant got the win versus Texas High Friday night.
Bryant looked as though she might be on her way to a perfect game, but Lauren Allred scored a homer in the bottom of the seventh to thwart those hopes. Bryant struck out 10 Lady Tigers, and did not allow a hit nor walked a single batter up until Allred’s home-run.
With the win, the Lady Cats Softball team improves their season record to 12-3 overall (3-1 district).
Next up, Coach Carrillo’s team will be back at Lady Cat Park Tuesday, Mar. 23 to take on Marshall for another district bout. That game is scheduled to tee off at 6 PM.

Congressman Pat Fallon plans to hold a “Tele-Town Hall” session Monday, March 22, for those interested in dialing in to hear what he has to say.
“We’ll be getting constituents throughout the district on the phone to brief you on the latest news from Washington and answer any question you have about how your office can help you,” Fallon said in an announcement for his first planned “town hall” session this year.
Those interested may opt-in by completing a form on Fallon’s official website: http://fallon.house.gov/tth-opt-in/.
Fallon has represented North Texans in the Texas Legislature since 2013, previously serving as Senator for District 30. He received the Republican Party’s nomination for Congressional District 4 Saturday, Aug. 8, during a delegate convention conducted at Hopkins County Civic Center. Fallon replaced John Ratcliffe on the Nov. 3 ballot. Ratcliffe resigned the position upon being confirmed as Director of National Intelligence.
Fallon went on to win in the Nov. 3 General Election, receiving 75.04 percent of the overall votes cast by voters in the 18 counties that make up the 4th Congressional District — including all or part of the counties of Bowie, Camp, Cass, Collin, Delta, Fannin, Franklin, Grayson, Hopkins, Hunt, Lamar, Marion, Morris, Rains, Red River, Rockwall, Titus, and Upshur.
SSPD: 72-Year-Old Woman Jailed Following Drunk Driving Crash
A 72-year-old Sulphur Springs woman was jailed following a drunk driving crash Thursday evening, police alleged in arrest reports.
Sulphur Springs Police Officer Cameron Robinson responded at 5 p.m. March 18 in the 1200 block of Brinker Street, where a woman was alleged to have been involved in a motor vehicle crash. Lajuana Lanell Minty Chester appeared to Robinson to have slurred speech and admitted to consuming her prescribed valium medication and alcoholic beverages.
Chester was unable to follow instructions when the officer attempted to administer horizontal gaze nystagmus tests and was unable to perform other field sobriety tests, for safety reasons. Robinson alleged in arrest reports that he believed the 72-year-old to be a danger to herself and others while operating a vehicle on the road.
The Sulphur Springs woman was taken into custody and transported to the hospital, where a specimen of her blood was taken for analysis. The 72-year-old woman was then jailed for drunk driving, third offense. The tan Chevrolet Cavalier she was driving was impounded.
Chester, who is also known to go by Minty Lajuana Chester, remained in Hopkins County jail Friday morning, March 19, 2021, in lieu of the $10,000 bond set on the felony drunk driving charge.
Her Hopkins County jail record shows the woman was arrested on March 25, 1994 and Oct. 6, 2001 on DWI, third or more offense charges. She was jailed on a third or more DWI indictment on April 15, 2002. Chester was taken into custody June 24, 2002 to serve a 25-year prison commitment on a DWI charge, and remained in Hopkins County jail until July 29, 2002. She then was in Hopkins County jail from Oct. 16, 2012 to May 20, 2013 as part of a 10-year prison sentence for a DWI third or more offense commitment and violation of parole.

Cumby Man Back In Jail For Second Time This Week
A 21-year-old Cumby man is back in jailed for the second time this week, according to arrest and sheriff’s reports.
Cole William Peterson was jailed Sunday, March 14, for driving while intoxicated with a child passenger younger than 15 years of age in the vehicle, abandoning or endangering a child-criminal neglect and tampering with evidence. He was accused of crashing the vehicle he was driving while intoxicated, and calling someone to remove a child from the FM 1870 crash site and take her to her mother in Como before law enforcement arrived. Peterson allegedly admitted to consuming numerous alcoholic beverages prior to operating the car, but denied that a child was in the car at the time of the crash.
“At the scene, it was apparent there was a car seat in the rear seat. Based on the blood in the car it was readily apparent that someone had retrieved a child from the car seat but there was no child present at the scene,” Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper Warren Williamson wrote in Peterson’s March 14 arrest report.
When deputies checked on the child, the 1 1/2-year-old’s mother reportedly lied to them. However, when contacted by the trooper allegedly admitted to the falsehood and confirmed the toddler was in the car when it crashed and someone drove her home. The child allegedly sustained minor injuries during the crash.
As a result, Peterson was charged with the felony DWI with a child passenger charge as well as child endangerment-criminal negligence for not seeking medical attention for the child given the severity of the crash and tampering with evidence for having the child removed to avoid the felony DWI charge,.
He was released from Hopkins County jail March 16, on a $30,000 bond on the tampering with evidence charge, a $10,000 bond on the DWI with child passenger charge and $10,000 on the child endangerment-criminal neglect charge.
On Thursday, March 18, while attending a hearing at Hopkins County Civic Center Peterson’s bond was revoked by 8th Judicial District Judge Eddie Northcutt on the DWI with child passenger charge, Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Bobby Osornio alleged in arrest reports. Osornio took Peterson into custody at 5:24 p.m. March 18 and transported him to Hopkins County jail, where the Cumby man was held Friday morning, March 19, 2021, for bond forfeiture on the DWI charge.
