  • H.S. Athletics: Holden named new Cayuga ISD athletic director

    It took just over a month for Cayuga ISD to find their new athletic director.
    In a school board meeting Monday, the Cayuga school board hired current CHS assistant coach Russell Holden as its new athletic director and head football coach.
    Holden, who has been on the staff at Cayuga for five years, will replace Greg Jenkins, who after three years at the helm is leaving for Tenaha.

    The Palestine Junior High girls athletic program released their Character Athletes of the Month for both March and April recently.

  • H.S. Softball Playoffs: Grapeland scores early and often in semifinal clincher

    Just like in game one, the Grapeland Sandiettes jumped out to a big lead during Saturday's decisive Game 3 against the Joaquin.
    The only difference is this time the Sandiettes never let off the gas on their way to a dominant 12-2 win over the Lady Rams in the do-or-die regional semifinal game.
    With the win, Grapeland moves on to its third regional final in four years, where they will take on Beckville. It’s the third-straight year the teams will meet in the postseason.

  • H.S. Baseball Playoffs: Elkhart eases past Warren in Game 2

    After needing three games to end its first two playoff series this postseason, the Elkhart baseball team made sure it didn’t happen a third time.
    The Elks — who are seeking a second-straight trip to the state tournament — rolled past Warren Saturday, 6-0, at Lufkin’s Morris Franks Park. The win came a night after Elkhart topped the Warriors, 5-1, to open the series on Friday.

  • H.S. Softball Playoffs: Grapeland, Joaquin split games Friday

    It was a tale of two games during Friday's Regional Semifinal between the Grapeland Sandiettes and Joaquin Lady Rams. The Sandiettes and Lady Rams combined for 22 runs in the Sandiettes 12-10 win in Game 1.

    Game 2 was a much different as the teams wouldn't combine for 20 hits, or even 10 runs as the Lady Rams picked up a 4-2 win.

  • H.S. Football: Palestine's Owens leads strong class of area recruits

    Palestine junior Jarrell Owens hasn’t ever played a significant down in a game for the Wildcats at linebacker in his football career.
    Yet, the position is obviously where his future lies.
    Owens is one of a handful of area juniors drawing significant college interest, and the Palestine running back/linebacker already holds an official offer from Texas Tech University.

  • H.S. Baseball Playoffs: Harleton shuts down Cayuga in regional quarterfinal

     In an as-expected pitcher’s duel, it took only one off inning to cost Cayuga and ace Chantz Holland.
    Holland gave up four hits and hit a batter in the top of the third inning, and Harleton turned that into four runs — the only runs of the game — as Harleton topped Cayuga, 4-0, here at the Lindale ISD Baseball and Softball Complex in regional quarterfinal action.

  • H.S. Baseball: Patchwork lineup still working for Cayuga

    The Cayuga baseball team that will take the field tonight against Harleton in the regional quarterfinals doesn’t look a lot like the Cayuga team that rolled through district play earlier this season.
    Injuries have hampered the look of the Wildcat lineup, but Cayuga still finds itself into the playoffs’ third round for yet another season.

  • H.S. Softball: Grapeland going strong into regional semifinals

    It’s been relatively easy-going so far in the state softball playoffs for the Grapeland softball team.
    The Sandiettes have lost only once so far in the playoffs, and that came thanks a forfeit in the area round against Avery, when Grapeland decided not to play rather than play without missing members at the state golf tournament.

  • Local Roundup: Cayuga's Hughes named 19-A MVP

    After a stellar regular season that saw them capture a district title, then a solid playoff run that ended with a regional quarterfinal loss to Grapeland, the Cayuga softball team showed well on the District 19-A all-district teams.
    Cayuga star freshman pitcher Kimberly Hughes capped her stellar year by earning the district’s Most Valuable Player award. Joining Hughes in earning superlative honors was her battery-mate Maci Poland, who was named the league’s Defensive MVP.
