Dave Campbell’s Texas Football Likes Cumby to Win Their District This Fall
You might say Dave Campbell’s Texas Football magazine is bullish on the Cumby Trojans. They pick the Trojans to win their District 9-2A in Division II this fall. Cumby, under new head coach Charles Boles, is in the same district with Clarksville, Simms Bowie, Maud, Detroit and Quinlan Boles. The Trojans have 23 returning lettermen off of a team that finished with an 8-4 record and were an area finalist last season. Cumby returns 5 starters on both offense and defense. Cumby running back Jacob Demidio, who gained 1432 yards last season, was selected by Texas Football as the district’s Preseason MVP. He is also on the magazine’s Cumby players to watch list along with running back Keagan McCollum, offensive lineman and linebacker Jacob Groves, wide receiver and defensive back Justin Demidio and wide receiver and defensive back Colton Lindsay. Listed as the Trojans top junior is wide receiver and defensive back Fabian Camargo and their top sophomore is said to be linebacker and running back Logan Butler. McCollum and Jacob Demidio are expected to give the Trojans a strong 1-2 punch at running back. Justin Demidio is the top returning tackler for the Trojans. Should be an interesting year for the Trojans.

5th Suspect In Home Invasion Robbery In Custody
The fifth suspect wanted in connection with a home invasion and robbery on Lee Street is in custody at Hopkins County jail Tuesday morning on two aggravated robbery and one burglary of habitation with intent to commit other felony offense warrants.
Tyreese Tupac Shukar Williams turned himself in at Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office just after noon June 29, 2020 and was escorted into the county jail by Cpl. Todd Evans. The 21-year-old Paris man was booked on all three felony warrants for his alleged involvement in the Sept. 25, 2019 offenses. He remained in Hopkins County jail Tuesday morning, June 30. Williams’ bonds on the charges totaled $300,000, set at $100,000 per charge, according to jail reports.
Williams is among five men accused of forcing entry into a Lee Street residence on Sept. 25, 2019, then, of robbing the occupants at gunpoint. The suspects allegedly took cell phones, a rifle and cash. Three pistols were reportedly used. One round was allegedly fired from one firearm during the commission of the offenses, but no one was injured, Sulphur Springs Police Det. Sgt. David Gilmore said following the September incident.
The four other suspects were arrested shortly after the alleged offenses. Williams was also identified as a suspect. Police on Oct. 1 reported warrants had been issued for Williams’ arrest on the charge; a Crimes Stoppers reward was offered for information leading to his arrest, according to police reports.
At least two of the other suspects, Zavarion Caymond Christopher Swain and Dequenek Timothy Craig Shepard, were sentenced by 8th Judicial District Judge Eddie Northcutt on June 22, 2020. Judge Northcutt sentenced Shepard to 10 years and gave Swain 10 years of deferred probation, with 180 days in jail as a condition of his probation.

High Speed Pursuit Ends With Dallas Man’s Arrest For Evading Arrest In Stolen Vehicle
The high speed pursuit of a stolen vehicle ended with a Dallas man’s arrest for evading arrest in a stolen vehicle, according to arrest reports.
Hopkins County Sheriff‘s Deputy Thomas Patterson reported receiving notification from a license plate reading system regarding a BMW 328 that was eastbound on Interstate 30 near Cumby around 4:45 p.m. June 29, 2020. The car was reported stolen. He and other units in marked vehicles activated their lights and attempted to stop the car near mile marker 110 on Interstate 30 east, Patterson alleged in arrest reports.
The BMW did not immediately pull to the improved shoulder, so Patterson initiated his vehicle’s siren. Instead of stopping, Patterson alleged, the vehicle was driven at an increased speed and began making evasive maneuvers in what the believed was an attempt to evade law enforcement.
“During the course of the high speed police pursuit, the vehicle eluded stop sticks, nearly striking the deploying deputy near the 117 mile marker, ending up on the south service road and taking Business Highway 67 to the east,” Patterson wrote in arrest reports.
The vehicle was reportedly recovered in the 1200 block of Kendal Lane, after citizens contacted dispatchers about it. The male allegedly exit the car on foot and was identified by witnesses as the driver of the stolen vehicle.
The man was identified as Demondre Deshawn Holiness. The 23-year-old Dallas man’s cell phone was allegedly still connected to the stolen vehicle’s bluetooth radio system, further linking him to the vehicle.
Holiness was transported to Hopkins County jail, where he was booked for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and evading arrest or detention with a vehicle. The car was impounded, according to arrest reports.
Holiness remained in Hopkins County jail Tuesday morning, June 29. Bond was set at $5,000 on the stolen vehicle charge and $10,000 on the evading arrest charge, according to jail reports.

Recommendations For Fall Vegetable & Small Plant Care
Garden Update — July and August
By Mario Villarino, DVM, Ph.D. Hopkins County Extension Agent, Ag and NR
Here are the recommendation of Texas A&M AgriLife for the months of July and August: By August many fall vegetable seeds and even small plants may be set out for later production. Be careful to give extra water and a little shade to these young plants while they are becoming established. The result will be excellent cool season garden produce.
Trim off faded flowers on crape myrtles and vitex to encourage later re-bloom.
Evaluate the volume of water delivered from lawn sprinklers to ensure healthy, stress-free grass during the heat of the summer. One thorough watering which will deliver one inch of water at a time is better than several more shallow sessions. The amount of water available through flower bed sprinklers may be checked by placing several shallow pans among shrubs or flowers.
Prune out dead or diseased wood from trees and shrubs. Hold off on major pruning from now until midwinter. Severe pruning at this time will only stimulate tender new growth prior to frost.
Sow seeds of snapdragons, dianthus, pansies, calendulas, and other cool-season flowers in flats, or in well-prepared areas of the garden, for planting outside during mid-to-late fall.
Plant bluebonnet and other spring wildflowers. They must germinate in late summer or early fall, develop good root systems, and be ready to grow in spring when the weather warms. Plant seed in well-prepared soil, one-half inch deep, and water thoroughly.
Picking flowers frequently encourages most annuals and perennials to flower even more abundantly. Pick okra, peas and peppers often to maintain production.
It is time to divide spring-flowering perennials, such as iris, Shasta daisy, oxeye, gaillardia, cannas, day lilies, violets, liriope, and ajuga. Make your selections and place orders for spring-flowering bulbs now so that they will arrive in time for planting in October and November. Don’t allow plants with green fruit or berries to suffer from lack of moisture.
A late-summer pruning of rosebushes can be beneficial. Prune out dead canes and any weak, brushy growth. Cut back tall, vigorous bushes to about 30 inches. After pruning, apply fertilizer, and water thoroughly. If a preventive disease-control program has been maintained, your rose bushes should be ready to provide an excellent crop of flowers this fall.
It is not too late to set out another planting of many warm-season annuals, such as marigolds, zinnias, and periwinkles. They will require extra attention for the first few weeks, but should provide you with color during late September, October, and November.
Establish a new compost pile to accommodate the fall leaf accumulation.

He said he is still seeking guidance and direction from the UIL. He noted the current spike in new COVID-19 cases in Texas and added Texas Governor Greg Abbott is pulling some things back as a result. Coach Owens said we will see what things look like in July.
The beginning of fall football practice is scheduled for August 3. He said right now UIL does not know what they will do, so he said he’s waiting.
Coach Owens said he believes in a safety first approach. He said he would rather see the spike in new COVID-19 cases now rather than when they hope to get school started in late August.
Coach Owens said what they have done this month with The Edge conditioning program has been good and right. He said we have been fortunate and have not had a single case of coronavirus among athletes that he knows of. Coach Owens said players are also fighting Saharan dust and a stomach virus that is going around right now.
He said the kids want to work and to come to The Edge. Again he said The Edge had been good and productive.

Dave Campbell’s Texas Football magazine is picking the Sulphur Springs Wildcats to finish 7th in the 8 team District 8-5A Division II, when and if the 2020 season takes place. A UIL official told the Dallas Morning News over the weekend that it’s too early to tell right now.
