Tira News: Annual Community Christmas Party Cancelled Due To COVID

By Jan Vaughn

The quarterly meeting of the Tira City Council is scheduled for Monday, December 7, 2020, at 6 p.m. at the Community Center.

The annual Community Christmas Party has been cancelled due to the risk of COVID-19 exposure. We hope to have a big party next year.

Joyce Dodd, speaking on behalf of the Council, would like to express appreciation for the “people who help keep our pantry going with their generous and heartfelt gifts of food and money to help those who are having to struggle due to loss of jobs during this pandemic.”

We want to express our sympathy to Debra Wood and her sister, Barbara Cockrum. They lost two cousins less than three weeks apart. Debra reported, “Bonnie Johnston of Enloe passed away on October 28th and her sister Sandra Watkins of Cooper passed away on November 14th, due to COVID complications.” Bonnie’s funeral was held on Monday, Nov. 16, at the Delta Funeral Home. At the time of Debra’s report, Sandra’s funeral arrangements had not been made. Please remember the family in your prayers.

Yvonne Weir shared that her daughter and granddaughter, Dacy and Elise, visited on Sunday and they all went to Justa’s Barn and got a few bargains.
Our great-grandsons spent a few hours with us on Saturday evening. They enjoyed fishing and playing on the riding toys outside and coming in to play electronic games.

I want to take this opportunity to wish you all a very safe and happy Thanksgiving!

I always need and appreciate input from my friends to help keep me informed of news in our community. If you have any news pertaining to Tira residents, past or present, please contact me, Jan Vaughn, at 903-438-6688 or [email protected].

Wildcats Football Head Coach Discusses Greenville Loss and Upcoming Crandall

Posted by on 6:25 pm in App, Headlines, News, Sports | Comments Off on Wildcats Football Head Coach Discusses Greenville Loss and Upcoming Crandall

Wildcats Football Head Coach Discusses Greenville Loss and Upcoming Crandall

On Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2020, we here at KSST radio met up with Wildcats football head coach Greg Owens to discuss the upcoming game on Friday versus Crandall.

The Wildcats lost to the Greenville Lions on Friday, 47-27. The loss in Greenville last Friday eliminated the Wildcats from playoff contention.

Coach Owens said it was kind of a weird situation, where teams such as the Wildcats have two games left, and the team is already out of post-season contention, which the coach said was hard on the team.

The Wildcats football head coach said the kids were invested and wanted to win, but as Coach Owens put it, Friday wasn’t their night.

Sulphur Springs stayed competitive in the first half, trailing 27-21 at halftime, but the speed and athleticism sported by the Lions was too much for the Wildcats.

Coach Owens said that both sides of the ball still felt like their guys might’ve played their best game of the year in a lot of areas, but the team couldn’t catch RB Miles Denson for the Lions. The coach said the reality was that guy was fast, so the team had a hard time controlling him.

Wildcats pre-game vs. Corsicana. Nov. 6, 2020

The Wildcats football head coach said guys are disappointed, but said the team has rebounded from the loss well, having a good showing in practice Monday and Tuesday. The team has been working on their game plan for the upcoming game on Friday versus the Crandall Pirates.

Coach Owens said Crandall has a lot of young talent and are well-coached, thanks in large part due to McKinney Boyd’s former head coach, and current Pirates coach, Kyle Hardin. Coach Owens said Coach Hardin brings an extremely potent and long-running success of the knowing how to move the football down field with him to Crandall.

Coach Owens also noted when the The Crandall Pirates were a 4A team, they went three rounds deep in to the playoffs, so the school has a tradition there of winning, and talent to boot.


The Wildcats will have their hands full as this Friday Sulphur Springs (1-2 zone, 1-4 overall) travels to Crandall (1-2 zone, 3-3 overall) to take on the Pirates at 7:30 P.M. 

Last Friday Crandall played hard but lost to Royse City, 45-22. Both teams come Friday will be fighting for their second win in “Zone” play.

This Friday’s match-up between the two teams will be the third straight zone game as the Wildcats will be looking to get back in the win column.

Wildcats Basketball Coach Likes Balanced Scoring During Win Over North Lamar Tuesday

Wildcats Basketball Coach Clark Cipoletta says it’s always good when his whole team gets to play and everyone gets the chance to score. The Wildcats’ entire 10-man roster got to play and everyone scored during the Wildcats’ 85-28 win over North Lamar Tuesday night, November 17, at home.

Sulphur Springs Wildcats Basketball

Coach Cipoletta says he was impressed with the North Lamar team. He says they remind him of his team several years ago before wins became plentiful. Coach Cipoletta says the Panthers are young but he says they play hard. He says before too long, things will begin to look up for them. He says he likes the job that Panthers’ Head Coach David Monds is doing.

Coach Cipoletta says he is thrilled with how the Wildcats played. He says the Wildcats played up to their capabilities. He says sometimes, when a team gets a lead, they will go away from what plans call for them to do. Coach Cipoletta says his team stayed with what they were supposed to do.

Senior Malique Cole and junior Cason Arrington led the Wildcats with 13 points apiece. Cole looks like a completely new person this season. Coach Cipoletta says Cole worked hard this summer and he adds he is committed to getting better. Coach Cipoletta says Arrington has hardly played for the past couple of years due to injuries, such as a torn ACL and crack femur. He says he’s glad to see him back on the court.

Boo Wilkerson scored 11 points and Coach Cipoletta says he can always count on a solid performance from his senior. Caleb Alexander returned from an injury to score 10 points. Coach Cipoletta says Alexander has struggled with his shooting early this season but now seems to be regaining his touch.

Also for the Wildcats, Lamodrick Johnson and Jackson Darrow scored 9 points each. Kordrick Turner added 7 points. Jake Whisenhunt and Parker Whisenhunt both had 5 points. Jatavian Hall scored 3 points.

The Wildcats, 1-1 for the season, play at McKinney Boyd Friday night.

The Broncos are coached by former Wildcats Coach Jeremy Josey, who Coach Cip worked for as a JV Coach. Coach Cipoletta says his mentor is doing a good job at Boyd. He says Boyd is a good explosive team that loves to shoot the three.

He says the Wildcats will have to take their A game with them on Friday.

Saltillo Boys Basketball Beats  Longview Christian for First Win of Season

Saltillo lead at the end of the first, 24-8, and never looked back, taking a 43-28 lead in to halftime. Even as offensive production for Saltillo slowed in the second half, leading after three quarters, 63-43, their lead was insurmountable as the Lions left Longview with a resounding 77-57 win.

The win was in large part thanks to Chris Boekhorst, who lead the Lions in scoring with 34 points in the game. Two other players, Gunner Tarver, and Coy Collins, also finished in double figures, finishing with 11 and 10 points, respectively.

Other scorers for the Lions include Colby McCoy and Andrew Redburn, who finished with 8 points, David Whitworth had 7, and lastly Colton McGill ended the game with 2 points.

The Lions also shot 3-3 from the free-throw line, which can be pivotal in late, close-game situations.
