Wildcats Football Coach Greg Owens Says DCTF Prediction For Wildcats Is No Big Deal
Being a veteran football coach, Wildcats Head Football Coach and Athletic Director Greg Owens says he does not get riled up by preseason predictions by so called experts. However, he is likely to use any less than flattering picks for motivational purposes.
Dave Campbell’s Texas Football predicts the Wildcats will finished in 7th place in their 8 team district this fall. In response, Coach Owens remembers what he told then-Sulphur Springs News Telegram Sports Editor Don Wallace a few years back. He told Wallace that there was a guy sitting in his mamma’s basement playing video games and writing articles about football and what’s going to happen. Coach Owens calls the prediction bulletin board material.
He says after he learned of the magazine’s picks, he talked with his team and asked them what they were going to do about it. He says it gives the players something to prove. Coach Owens says who knows what will happen. He says you’ve got to line up and play.
He says district foe Ennis is the preseason #1 pick in Class 5A. Coach Owens says he doesn’t know if Ennis is #1 but, he says, they are a dang good football team. He says two years ago, Lions Coach Sam Harrell promoted a large number of sophomores to the varsity. Coach Owens says that young group took their lumps then but, he says, they were good last year and should be again as seniors this year.
He says he also knows that Corsicana and North Forney are both athletic and,, he says, Royse City has benefited from some Division I college caliber players that have moved in.
However, Coach Owens says he believes the Wildcats too can be pretty good. He says guys are putting in the time and the work and are getting after it. Coach Owens says the Wildcats are not as fast as he would like them to be. He says the Wildcats will have to execute. He adds he loves the attitude of his players. Coach Owens says the Wildcats must stay healthy. He says they have depth in some areas but are thin in others.
Again, Coach Owens says, despite predictions, teams have to line up and play, on the field.
Hopkins County COVID-19 Testing Update: 991 Negative, 67 Positive, 73 Pending
Hopkins County saw a surge in COVID-19 cases over the last 8 days with 17 additional COVID-19 cases recorded since June 24, according to data compiled by Hopkins County Hospital District/EMS COO Brent Smith at 5:30 p.m. July 2 and posted around 11 p.m. July 2 on the Hopkins County Emergency Management Facebook page.
Of the 67 confirmed cases, 15 were reported week, 8 on June 30 and 7 July 2, and one each of June 25 and 26. That’s the largest increase in positive COVID-19 cases during a single testing report period since the pandemic began in march. That surpasses the June 3-10 when the record for most cases in a test reporting period was set at 13 new positive COVID-19 cases Overall, during the weekly reporting periods, Hopkins County saw an increase of 17 new cases during May, 39 in June and 7 so far in July.
While that’s a significant increase for Hopkins County, where only 4 cases had been reported and all had recovered by the end of April, positive results account for 5.9 percent of the total 1,131 COVID-19 tests conducted through July 2, according to the testing data compiled by Smith. Overall, that’s a 1.2 percent increase in positive cases over the last 8 days.
While positive cases went up, so did screenings and the number of negative test results. Over the last 8 days, while 17 tests were positive, another 102 test results have come back negative. That’s a total of 991 tests negative for COVID-19 for Hopkins County residents since March.
Another 73 met people criteria for screening; their samples sent for testing after the June 24 testing report, for a total of 1,131 tests reported by the “majority of health care partners in Hopkins County” to have been conducted over the past 109 days.
Notable is that some private businesses and health facilities that use private organizations to screen workers and are not required to report those screening numbers to the hospital district. Those private screening counts are reported to DSHS and not included in the weekly screening report from the hospital district, according to Smith.
That leaves only 73 test results still pending for Hopkins County at 5:30 p.m. July 2, 26 fewer pending than the week before.
The number of recoveries outpaced new cases during the past 8 days, with 27 additional Hopkins County residents reported to have recovered from COVID-19, for a total of 47 recoveries so far, according to the HCHD/EMS testing data. Recoveries are released according to the Centers for Disease Control guidelines and a local physician authority, according to Smith.
There have still been no deaths of Hopkins County residents due to COVID-19 during the pandemic, according to the data and local emergency management officials.
Because Hopkins County had only 20 active COVID-19 cases as of July 2, Hopkins County Judge Robert Newsom submitted an application to Texas Department of Emergency Management asking for Hopkins County to be exempt from Governor’s Executive Order GA-29, which requires face covering for all people out in the public. However, county emergency management officials do still encourage people to wear face masks, practice social distancing as
Smith and local health officials urge everyone to continue practicing social distancing and proper hand washing.
Local residents are reminded of Governor Abbott’s July 2 proclamation amending GA-28, which was issued on June 26. The proclamation stipulates that most outdoor gatherings in excess of 10 people, unless approved under specified exceptions by a city mayor or county judge for an unincorporated area, are prohibited. Also, people shall not be in groups larger than 10 and shall maintain six feet of social distancing from those not in their group, unless the gathering meets the exception stipulated in the executive order or in the minimum standard health protocols recommended by DSHS, found at www.dshs.texas.gov/coronavirus.
Governor’s Order, Proclamation Require Face Coverings In Public, Restrict Social Gatherings
Hopkins County Judge Has Filed For An Exemption To Opt Out Of Requirements
Governor Greg Abbott July 2 issued another Executive Order requiring all Texans to wear a face covering over the nose and mouth in public spaces in counties with 20 or more positive COVID-19 cases, with a few exceptions. Local authorities say Hopkins County meets the terms for the exemption.
In addition to GA-29, Abbott The Governor also July 2 issued a proclamation giving mayors and county judges the ability to impose restrictions on some outdoor gatherings of over 10 people, and making it mandatory that, with certain exceptions, people cannot be in groups larger than 10 and must maintain 6 feet of social distancing from others.
He cited surges not only in the number of people testing positive daily for COVID-19, but also the positivity rate and an uptick in the number of COVID-19 patients in hospitals.
“Wearing a face covering in public is proven to be one of the most effective ways we have to slow the spread of COVID-19,” said Governor Abbott in the announcement. “We have the ability to keep businesses open and move our economy forward so that Texans can continue to earn a paycheck, but it requires each of us to do our part to protect one another—and that means wearing a face covering in public spaces. Likewise, large gatherings are a clear contributor to the rise in COVID-19 cases. Restricting the size of group gatherings will strengthen Texas’ ability to corral this virus and keep Texans safe.”
Abbott said local law enforcement and other local officials as appropriate, in areas that are not approved as exempt “can and should enforce this executive order.” That may include verbal or written warnings for a first-time violator of this face-covering requirement, a fine up to $250 for a second violation. Each subsequent violation could be punishable by a fine not to exceed $250 per violation. Abbott was very clear, however, that under no circumstances are violators to be arrested and confined to jail.
Exemptions
GA-29 allows for exceptions for some counties to the facecovering order.
Not required to wear face-coverings will be the following:
- any person younger than 10 years of age;
- any person with a medical condition or disability that prevents wearing a face covering;
- any person while the person is consuming food or drink, or is seated at a
restaurant to eat or drink; - any person while the person is (a) exercising outdoors or engaging in
physical activity outdoors, and (b) maintaining a safe distance from other
people not in the same household; - any person while the person is driving alone or with passengers who are
part of the same household as the driver; - any person obtaining a service that requires temporary removal of the face covering for security surveillance, screening, or a need for specific access to the face, such as while visiting a bank or while obtaining a personal care service involving the face, but only to the extent necessary for the temporary removal;
- any person while the person is in a swimming pool, lake, or similar body
of water; - any person who is voting, assisting a voter, serving as a poli watcher, or
actively administering an election, but wearing a face covering is strongly encouraged; - any person who is actively providing or obtaining access to religious
worship, but wearing a face covering is strongly encouraged; - any person while the person is giving a speech for a broadcast or to an
audience; or - any person in a county (a) that meets the requisite criteria provided by the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) regarding minimal cases of COVID-19, and (b) whose county judge has affirmatively opted-out of this face-covering requirement by filing with TDEM the required face-covering attestation form—provided, however, that wearing a face covering is highly recommended, and every county is strongly encouraged to follow these face-covering standards.
Hopkins County Judge Robert Newsom and Emergency Management Coordinator Andy Endsley said Hopkins County meets the terms for the exemption to mask and distancing requirements, but do strongly encourage them in public.
Texas Department of Emergency Management, per GA-29, outlined the following steps for counties to be exempt
- The county must have 20 or less active COVID-19 cases.
- The county judge of a county with 20 or less active cases must submit an exemption form affirmatively opting out.
- Counties approved for exemption from the GA-29 face-covering requirement will be listed on the TDEM webpage.
At 3 p.m. July 2, the county emergency management team reported 15 new COVID-19 cases so far this week, with 41 total patients recovered and 26 active cases.
Newsom at the 5:45 p.m. news conference, however, reported that the county confirmed 6 additional people had recovered since the earlier news conference, which means the county is now down to 20 active cases out of the total 67 cases reported for Hopkins County since the pandemic began in March.
Thus, the county judge said, Hopkins County officials had the option of accepting the mask order or filing for an exemption because the county now has 20 cases. The judge filed the “attestation” application for the exemption.
“Because of our low number of cases we are not under the mask mandate,” Newsom said.
As of 6:10 p.m. July 2, TDEM had yet to list on its exemption page any counties that had approved for the exemption.
“We are encouraging those out in public to wear a mask and social distance, but it’s not a mandate,” the emergency management officials said.
GA-29 specifies that “any person attending a protest or demonstration involving more than 10 people and who is not practicing safe social distancing of six feet from other people not in the same household” will not be exempt from wearing a face mask.
Drunk Driving Victims Share Heartbreaking Stories in Effort to Stop Drinking and Driving
| NEWS RELEASE [email protected] (512) 463-8700 | |
| DRUNK DRIVING VICTIMS SHARE HEARTBREAKING STORIES IN EFFORT TO STOP DRINKING AND DRIVING TxDOT’s ‘Plan While You Can’ campaign features personal stories urging drivers to plan for a sober ride July 2, 2020 AUSTIN – Sean Carter’s ability to speak was taken from him more than 15 years ago, when he was a college junior and went out drinking with friends. He knew he was in no condition to drive home – but neither was the buddy who gave him a ride. Without a plan for a sober ride, the drunk driver crashed the truck, leaving Sean with a traumatic brain injury and unable to walk or talk. Today, despite his inability to speak on his own, Sean’s voice via his story is saving lives. Sean has traveled the country sharing his experience through an iPad that speaks the words he types. In the current environment of social distancing, he’s still working to share the message virtually. Since his crash, he’s shared the story with more than 375,000 people of how a drunk driver forever changed his life. “I made the bad decision to drink without planning for a safe ride home,” Sean shared. “That fateful decision to get into a truck with a drunk driver made every goal I ever set for myself impossible. My hope is that drivers understand the consequences of drinking and driving, and make a different decision — to plan for a sober ride before going out.” Sean and his mom, Jenny, are sharing his journey through the Texas Department of Transportation’s “Plan While You Can” campaign, which works to save lives and decrease impaired driving crashes by encouraging drivers to plan ahead for a sober ride before drinking alcohol. “The crash is something Sean still deals with every day of his life,” Jenny said. “As his caretaker, I deal with the consequences of that bad decision, too. Families and individuals need to know that choosing to drink and drive can have lasting, life-altering effects that go beyond just the people directly involved in the crash.” Last year, there were 24,666 DUI-alcohol related crashes in Texas, resulting in 900 fatalities and 2,152 serious injuries. DUI-alcohol related crash fatalities represented 25% of all crash fatalities in Texas in 2019. The “Plan While You Can” campaign features the Faces of Drunk Driving as a way for victims to share their personal stories through TV public service announcements, social media, digital ads and media interviews.The Faces of Drunk Driving website features Sean’s story, as well as other stories from drunk driving crash victims in Texas. Driving under the influence of alcohol not only risks death or serious injuries, but it can also be costly. Drivers can face up to $17,000 in fines and fees, jail time and loss of their driver’s license. Instead of getting behind the wheel if drinking, here are some alternative options: Designate a sober driver. Contact a cab or ride-share service. Use mass transit. Spend the night. Leading up to the July Fourth holiday, even with more people staying home and some businesses being closed due to COVID-19, TxDOT feels this is an important message to share for those who will choose to go out and celebrate. For those who do choose to go out, do not drink and drive and please exercise proper safety practices in public, including wearing a face covering, limiting social gatherings to no more than 10 people and social distancing. “Plan While You Can” is a key component of #EndTheStreakTX, a broader social media and word-of-mouth effort that encourages drivers to make safer choices while behind the wheel, like wearing a seat belt, driving the speed limit, never texting and driving and never driving under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. Nov. 7, 2000 was the last deathless day on Texas roadways. #EndTheStreakTX asks all Texans to commit to driving safely to help end the streak of daily deaths on Texas roadways.

The Edge Has a Break Coming Up
Since SSISD’s The Edge started conditioning and skills work on June 8, it has been a Monday through Friday program. With an UIL mandated off day Friday (July 3), The Edge was a four-day program this week. The time off will be extended next week, Monday through Wednesday (July 6-8). The Edge resumes Thursday, July 9 and Friday, July 10. The UIL has also mandated days off Monday and Tuesday, July 20-21. The program wraps up on Friday, July 24. Only ten sessions remain wrapping up on Friday, July 24. Wildcats Athletic Director and Head Football Coach Greg Owens said the players will have a week off after that before the anticipated start of football practice on Monday, August 3.
Coach Owens said he also got encouraging news from the UIL on Wednesday (July 1). They said, beginning Monday, July 13, teams could begin one on one stuff, such as offense versus defense. Included is 7 on 7 work. Coach Owens said that does not mean that there will be 7 on 7 competition with others. He said this change will be invaluable for defensive backs, quarterbacks and receivers. Coach Owens said the change seems to indicate that the UIL is gearing up for a full start to the football season with practice beginning August 3. He does say matters continue to be less than firm with decisions being determined on a day by day and week by week basis. Coach Owens said numbers for The Edge continue to be good, especially for 11th and 12th graders and for 7th and 8th graders. He noted a drop in numbers for the 9th and 10th grade group.

DCTF Has Mount Vernon Football as 4th Place Team in Their District
Mount Vernon Football Coach Art Briles is back for his second season and Dave Campbell’s Texas Football magazine picks the Tigers to finish 4th in their 8 team District 5-3A in Division I. The magazine believes Pottsboro, preseason ranked #3 in Class 3A, will win district followed by Mount Vernon rival Winnsboro, then Mineola, and the Tigers. Next they have Emory Rains in 5th, Coach John McSheffery’s Commerce in 6th, Howe in 7th and Bonham in 8th. Mount Vernon was 8-3 last season making it to bi-district. Coach Briles has 24 returning lettermen at Mount Vernon with 8 returning starters on offense and 4 on defense. According to Dave Campbell’s Texas Football, Tigers’ players to watch include running back Clifton Holloman, Jr., quarterback Brock Nellor, wide receiver Caydon Coffman, defensive back Adrian Robles and offensive lineman Quinton Johnson. Top Tigers’ juniors include wide receiver Nick Lacy and linebacker Keaton Decker. A top sophomore is wide receiver Jaden Horton. Other Tiger prospects are cornerback Blaine Crouse, wide receiver Raif Ramsey, linebacker Cross DiMaggio, linebacker MacKenzie McGill, offensive lineman Caden Rogers, defensive lineman Austin Reed and offensive lineman Alan Quinones. Texas Football says year one of the Briles’ era must be considered a success with 8 wins and a playoff spot and they say year two has the potential to be special. Mount Vernon returns nearly all of the team’s skill players giving them plenty of firepower on offense. A couple of top tacklers also return to lead the defense.
July 2, 2020 Update: 15 New Hopkins County COVID-19 Cases This Week, 26 Active Cases
The Hopkins County Emergency Management Team at 3 p.m. Thursday, July 2, reported they’d been notified of 7 more new positive COVID-19 cases reported in the last 24 hours. That’s following a report of 8 new cases earlier this week. The county said they received 6 reports yesterday and 1 additional report today, for a total of 15 new Hopkins County COVID-19 cases this week.
That brings the totals at this time to 67 cases for Hopkins county since MidMarch, 41 recoveries and 26 active cases. There have been no COVID-19 deaths of Hopkins County residents.
Hopkins County Emergency Management Coordinator Andy Endsley and Hopkins County Judge Robert Newsom said as of this morning there were no COVID-19 patients at CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital-Sulphur Springs.
The HCEMT reported they were not sure how many, but did know that some of the cases in the last week were from individuals who were tested at the mobile drive-through collection site held recently at Shannon Oaks Church.
Endsley and Newsom said the new positive cases do not change the regulations regarding restaurant occupancy/capacity.
The HCEMT explained that on Monday, Hopkins County had had 10 active cases. County officials sent in required the reports to Austin, stating that per Governor’s Executive Order GA-28 issued last Friday the county had 10 or fewer cases. That allows local restaurants to continue operating at 75 percent capacity.
Judy Gilreath Applauds Dinner Bell Sponsors, Volunteers, Community Partners and GSC Inc.
Judy Gilreath and the volunteers of Dinner Bell know how important sponsors are when it comes to feeding a crowd every week! So are willing, knowledgeable kitchen helpers and the indispensable community partners who make the Dinner Bell wheels turn, week in and week out.
Although Judy has always loved cooking and being in the kitchen she admits that Dinner Bell is a lot of hard work and you have to be on your toes every week! “One week we serve over 200 meals and the next week, for whatever reasons, numbers are down a bit. So, do we sometimes prepare too much or too little for the demand? Yes, but you just never know how many will show up. We never want to turn anyone away and have rarely had to. See, this mission is very much needed, and our meals are offered free of charge to anyone in need of a meal. Since COVID’s been with us, there’s been more families with children that we didn’t see before, when school was in session. We just try to be prepared to serve everybody that shows up for a meal. When we have some leftover, such as today, July 1, we look for a way to put the excess food to use. I took a quantity of our baked ham and cheese grits over the Li’l 4’s Club, because they’re open and they’ve got kids there. Oh, and we took homemade cookies too. We are blessed to always have enough, and then some!”
Dinner Bell is a food ministry of First United Methodist Church in Sulphur Springs, and offers a free meal each Wednesday “for anyone in need”. As Judy explained, “now that COVID-19 restrictions are upon us, we are packaging the plates in the kitchen as take-outs and carrying them out in batches to the covered drive. That’s where the cars line up, and our group of guys hands them through the car windows to the people inside. You can get one plate for as many people as are in the car, if desired. And that’s proven to be the safest and fastest way to serve. Of course, we miss the days when we all could meet together in the Fellowship Hall, have prayer and enjoy a sit-down meal as a group. Hopefully, those days will come again. Til then, we keep on serving”.
Dinner Bell is thriving with ‘farm to table’ opportunities in abundance. “We buy vegetables from local growers, and we are given produce as well. Another of our blessings is that beef from the Sale of Champions was purchased, then donated to Dinner Bell. We’ve been able to keep beef on our weekly menus that way. People have been so generous. Recently, someone else donated several cases of frozen cookie dough. We loved getting it but had no place to keep that quantity! Grocery Supply came to our rescue and are storing the cases for us in their freezer. I just go and pick up a few cases when needed and we can bake fresh homemade cookies real often, thanks to generous support. People want to give, and those who can usually find a way to do so. You know, I was stopped in the grocery store just last week by a lady who gave me a $100 bill for Dinner Bell. This ministry is so needed. It’s truly amazing how the Lord is blessing it and feeding his sheep”.
Community Partners play a big role. ” Grocery Supply Inc, was our Community Partner this week. A business, industry or company who wants to help out occasionally can do so, with a $350 donation. That supplies our funding for that week. Non-profits, organizations, even families have been community partners. See, it takes a village to raise a child, and it takes a loving community to support a ministry like this. Sulphur Springs and Hopkins County is truly a loving, generous place. I never cease to be amazed at the good that’s done through Dinner Bell. I am glad we came to this community in 1960, with us both right out of the University of Texas at Austin. My husband Charles had just passed his State Board of Pharmacy then. We made Sulphur Springs our home and went to work. I love to serve and I’ve been so blessed!”
SCU Investigation, Traffic Stop Result In 4 Controlled Substance Arrests
July 2, 2020 – A SCU investigation of a 33-year-old Sulphur Springs man for possession or distribution of methamphetamine ultimately resulted in 4 controlled substance arrests.
The SCU investigators reported purchasing large quantities of suspected methamphetamine from 33-year-old Elzie Antwain Sneed of Sulphur Springs. The buys occurred on several occasions during their investigation. The SCU officers then obtained two first-degree felony warrants for Sneed’s arrested for manufacture or delivery of 4 grams or more but less than 200 grams of a Penalty Group 1 controlled substance and one second-degree felony warrant for manufacture or delivery of 1 gram or more but less than 4 grams of a Penalty Group 1 controlled substance.
SCU investigators then began surveillance of a known address in an attempt to locate and serve Sneed with the warrants. They reported seeing Sneed driving a Cadillace Deville. A traffic stop of the vehicle was initiated on League Street at Connally Street at 5:31 p.m. July 1, 2020.
Sneed was placed into handcuffs and set inside a patrol vehicle while officer searched the car. The SCU officers alleged seeing MDMA (known commonly as Ecstasy) in plain view in the front passenger’s seat. The substance field-tested positive for MDMA.
Consequently, all four occupants of the car — Sneed; 26-year-old Melanie Mercedes Edwards of Eastland; and 21-year-old Taylor Nicole Boyett and 17-year-old Valerie Nichole Covington, both of Sulphur Springs, were arrested at 5:48 p.m. July 1 on a charge of possession of less than 1 gram of a Penalty Group 2 controlled substance in a drug-free zone. The arrest occurred within 1,000 feet of Kids Kingdom.
Boyett, Covington Edwards and Sneed remained in the county jail July 2. Bond was set at $10,000 each on the third-degree felony controlled substance charge. Sneed’s bond was set at $100,000 on each of the first-degree felony warrants and $50,000 on the second-degree felony warrant and $10,000 bond on the third-degree felony charge.
Sneed’s arrest July 1 marked the second time in five months he was booked into Hopkins County jail. He was arrested Feb. 19 on a no driver’s license charge.
July 1 is also not the first time Sneed has been charged with controlled substance offenses. He spent Aug. 20, 2004 to Dec. 8, 2004, in Hopkins County jail on five manufacture or delivery of 1 gram or more but less than 4 grams of a Penalty Group 1 controlled substance charges on which he was indicted.
Sneed also spent Aug. 3, 2015 to Jan. 21, 2016, in the county jail on a possession of 1 gram or more but less than 4 grams of a Penalty Group 1 controlled substance charge for which he received a 20-year sentence, manufacture or delivery of less than 1 gram of a Penalty group 1 controlled substance and tampering with or fabricating physical evidence, according to HCSO jail records.
