Lady Cats Softball Team Gets Big Send-Off Before Taking on Lovejoy in Game 1 of Regional Semifinal Series
Approximately one hundred fans turned out to Lady Cat park to cheer on the Lady Cats softball team before game 1 of their Regional Semifinal series with the Lucas Lovejoy Leopards.
The SSHS Blue Blazin’ Band’s drum line came out in support of the softball team before their departure to Rockwall.
The Blue Blazes drill team also showed up outside Lady Cat Park to cheer on their softball team.
From the multi-purpose building football players could be seen cheering and clapping on their Lady Cats before they hopped on the bus to make the short trip.
Coach Carrillo said that he and his team are extremely blessed to be playing in the Regional Semifinal. Four times before this year a Carrillo-led squad had made it to the regional quarterfinals, but each time they were bowed out of the playoffs by their opponents.
That all changed this year, when the Lady Cats bested Huntsville last week 2-0 in the best-of-three series to move on to the Regional Semifinals where they will be taking on the Lucas Lovejoy Leopards starting tonight.
Coach Carrillo said he expects a tough, hard-fought series between his Lady Cats and the Leopards.
The Lady Cats come in to tonight’s game 1 of the Regional Semifinals sporting a 28-3 overall record (11-1 district) and will be looking to extend their winning streak to 20 tonight when they take on the Lucas Lovejoy Leopards, who are 29-10-1 overall (12-2 district).
Game 1 between Lovejoy and Sulphur Springs is set to tee off tonight at 7 PM in Rockwall, and Games 2 and 3 will take place on Friday at 7 PM and Saturday at noon, respectively.

Wildcats 7 on 7 Team Has Tough Night Tuesday Against Strong Lindale and Gilmer Teams
The Wildcats 7 on 7 Football Team played two rugged opponents at Gerald Prim Stadium Tuesday evening and came out on the short end of the scoreboard both times.
Both Lindale and Gilmer played in the State Championship Game in their respective class this past season with both losing.
So needless to say the Wildcats had their hands full Tuesday.
Against Lindale, the Wildcats scored on their first possession to even the game at 7-7.
The Eagles then scored 24 straight points on their way to a 34-14 win. The Wildcats first drive was led by sophomore quarterback Matthew Mitchell. He completed a couple of passes to C.J. Williams and one to Matthew Sherman before throwing a touchdown pass to Carson Fenton.
The Eagles got an interception to take a 10-7 lead. The Eagles also scored on their next two drives to go up, 31-7. Mitchell led the Wildcats to a second touchdown on their fifth drive. He completed passes to Cable Glenn and Colby Albritton before hitting Albritton in the end zone for the second score.
The Eagles tacked on another interception and a touchdown to complete their scoring. Defensively both safety Dominique Sims and cornerback Aiden Stribling broke up a pass.
After a break, the Wildcats played the Gilmer Buckeyes, who claimed a 47-14 win.
At one time, the two teams were tied 14-14 before the Buckeyes scored the last 33 points in the game. The Wildcats, led by Mitchell, scored on the first drive of the game. He completed passes to Sherman, Williams and Fenton before finding Fenton in the end zone for the score.
Gilmer then scored twice to take a 14-7 lead. Mitchell led another TD drive to even the score at 14 all. He completed two passes to Williams and then found J.J. Hall in the end zone for the score.
Then things went sour for the Wildcats starting with a rare 7 on 7 safety as Gilmer touched down a Wildcat receiver behind the line of scrimmage for 2 points.
The Buckeyes then got an interception and scored 4 more touchdowns to complete their scoring. Freshman quarterback Brady Driver shared series with Mitchell.
On defense, Sims and cornerback Colt Silman broke up passes and safety Sam Wilks had a pair of break ups on one drive.
Saturday the Wildcats play in a State Qualifier Tournament at Grapevine facing Princeton, Frisco Wakeland and host Grapevine.

Brookshire’s Grandly Cuts Ribbon, Begins 64th Year in Sulphur Springs with Improvements Store-wide
The renovations and improvements that began during the COVID pandemic at the local Brookshire’s store have yielded a beautiful updated grocery, market and pharmacy, and a lot of proud employees. Store Director Cade Hohenberger thanked everyone on Wednesday May 19, 2021 during a ribbon cutting ceremony with corporation officials present.
Following a welcome by District manager Wesley Hooper and a prayer by local pastor Jeff Teimeyer, Cade stated that his 26-year career with Brookshire’s began in Sulphur Springs in stocking and carry-out. He praised his outstanding team and the Brookshire’s signature of excellent customer service. “Learning to give excellent customer service on the job has improved many a young person’s view of working, including mine. It seems the more things change, the more they stay the same, and that’s still true at Brookshire’s. Customer service still comes first, from fresh produce to deli to bakery to the meat and seafood market with sushi to our pharmacy, now with two drive-up windows”.
Mayor John Sellers also spoke about Brookshire’s local history when the store opened in 1958 at 222 Gilmer Street near downtown, then moved in the 1970’s to the old Safeway location bringing a ‘better grocery store’ to town when it was needed. Now, Brookshire’s has done it again.”
Brookshire’s Corporation CEO Brad Brookshire was present to say that his grandfather opened the original small store in Tyler, Texas in 1928, then branched out to Sulphur Springs 30 years later in 1958. “My grandfather felt that this location was worth the investment back then, and it still is. Among his core values was excellent customer service, and I feel that Cade and his staff at the Sulphur Springs store represent that well. Your town is growing, and Texas is growing, and I am proud to be part of the family-owned Texas company”.
Mr. Brookshire also announced that the final addition, self-checkout stations, would be added at the center of the front of the store, right where the ceremony took place. Many of those attending got a close-up view of the BIG GROCERY CART, a 14-foot motor-driven giant promotional model they call “Nas-Cart!”
Deputies Arrested 2 Men On Felony Warrants, Escorted Third Man Into Jail For Warrant
Deputies arrested two men in Sulphur Springs on felony warrants, including one man released from jail less than a week ago, and escorted a third man into jail on a warrant, according to arrest reports.
Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Justin Wilkerson and Sgt. Scott Davis were made aware of a warrant for a 31-year-old Dike man’s arrest. They found Daniel Ray Penson sitting in his vehicle in a Gilmer Street business parking lot. The sheriff’s officers contacted Penson, confirmed the warrant, took him into custody at 1:14 a.m. Wednesday, May 19, 2021, and took him to jail. The Dike, TX man was held on the Austin Parole Board warrant for violation of parole.
Tuesday marked the second time Penson has been jailed locally in less than a week. He was booked into Hopkins County jail early Friday morning, May 14, 2021, for third or more driving while intoxicated offense. HCSO Deputy Aaron Chaney contacted him just before midnight Thursday, May 13, on FM 69 north regarding a reckless driving complaint called in on the truck he had been driving. Penson appeared nervous and wouldn’t make eye contact with the deputy, who observed an open container in the pickup console. When asked Penson allegedly claimed to have only consumed the one alcoholic beverage. Alcohol was smelled on Penson, who swayed during horizontal gaze nystagmus tests on which he displayed all six possible clues of intoxication. He agreed to a blood test, which was taken at the hospital. He was booked into jail early May 14 on the felony DWI charge, Chaney alleged in arrest reports. He was released from jail later may 14 on a $15,000 bond on the third or more drunk driving charge.
Devin Ray Humphries turned himself in at Hopkins County Law Enforcement Center at 11:15 p.m. Tuesday, May 18, 2021, on a felony warrant. HCSO Sgt. Scott Davis escorted the 35-year-old Campbell man into the county jail, where he was booked at 11:37 p.m. on the warrant for violation of probation on a tampering with evidence charge; the offense is alleged to have occurred on Aug. 30, 2018.
Jail reports show Humphries also spent Jan. 14-March 1, 2019, in the county jail following his arrest on a warrant for violating probation on the tampering with evidence charge. He remained in custody on Wednesday, May 19, 2021, on the latest warrant accusing him of violating probation on the tampering with evidence charge.
HCSO Deputies Justin Wilkerson and Aaron Chaney and Sgt. Scott Davis were made aware of three warrants issued for a 21-year-old Sulphur Springs man’s arrest Tuesday. Deputies traveled to the man’s Fuller Street address, where he was seen outside. Deputies took Jamar Matthew Gooden into custody just before 7 p.m. May 18, 2021. Gooden was booked into Hopkins County jail just before 8 p.m. Tuesday for surety off bond on the three April 2021 charges.
Gooden was jailed early Friday morning, April 16, 2021, on an unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon and possession of less than 1 gram of a Penalty Group1 controlled substance charges on April 16, 2021, after a firearm was found beside a vaporizer cartridge with THC inside in the back floorboard of the vehicle he was driving during a Jefferson Street traffic stop. He was released from custody later April 16, 2021, on a $10,000 on the firearm charge and a $5,000 bond on the controlled substance charges, Deputy Chaney alleged in the April 16 arrest reports.
The 21-year-old returned to Hopkins County jail Sunday night, April 19, 2021, on a possession of 4 grams or more but less than 400 grams of a Penalty Group 2 controlled substance in a drug-free zone charge, after Sulphur Springs police stopped him on Freeman Street for a traffic violation in the same van he was driving when deputies stopped him three days before. Police reported finding finding miscellaneous drug paraphernalia on Gooden when he patted the 21-year-old down. Officers also alleged finding a cartridge containing a light brown wax the officer suspected and Gooden confirmed to be THC oil. Gooden remained in Hopkins County jail until April 26, on the possession of a controlled substance in a drug-free zone charge.
Gooden remained in Wednesday, May 19, 2021, on for surety off bond on all three of the April 2021 charges.

We have worked together to make sure our campus was safe for employees and students. We have seen our students struggle through adversity to complete college classes. We have struggled at times with the situations we have faced. We have persevered.
“We celebrate the completion of another school year and the students who have been resilient and finished certificates or associate degrees during a pandemic. They are crossing the finish line after overcoming every obstacle that got in their way this past year. Thank you to all PJC faculty and staff for the work you have done to help these graduates cross that finish line.”
PJC Watchmaking Instructor Stan McMahan was announced as the 2021 Teaching Excellence Award. The award includes a $1,000 honorarium, a medallion and a plaque.
According to his nomination letter, McMahan exhibits extraordinary passion for students, faculty, staff, and PJC. He inspires students as well as faculty members due to his upbeat personality and love of teaching. Despite wearing a face mask, those he meets can always tell that McMahan is smiling.
“He is constantly reading and researching new ways of improving his teaching style, engaging the students, and making the program the best possible,” said nominators. “He is willing to adapt to any changes necessary for the good of PJC; reaches out to any student that may need assistance with coursework or personal matters to ensure student retention is maintained; grades fairly and consistently with all students; and is always concerned with the welfare of everyone around him, not only students but faculty and staff as well.”
“We have been blessed in many ways tonight,” said Dr. Anglin as she closed the ceremony. “We have been able to have an in-person graduation ceremony. We have finished the year and kept people safe on campus. We can look forward to a new fall semester without the magnitude of challenges we faced this year.

The barbecue cook-off drew a good crowd, who were served by 25 different barbecue cooking teams. One of the attractions for kids was the Northeast Texas Gellyball demonstration. Made me wish I was a kid again.
