Well, week one for Texas is done. How'd your teams do? We here are KTEN are getting ready to cover both sides of the river with Oklahoma joining the schedule this week. What I'm curious this week is, who are some of your favorite picks to go far in playoffs this year (on either side). Dickson is ranked #1 in Oklahoma Class 3A, and several Texas teams are ranked their Divisions. So who do you think will make it all the way? Best of luck to your team this week!

I woke up this morning, and in the weather was that feel of fall. I love this time of year. There is nothing better than a Friday night on the sidelines. The smells, the sounds, the energy, the game itself! But what takes our area sports events to the extraordinary levels are the people who make it special. I really enjoy hearing stories of players, coaches & parents who go the extra mile to leave an imprint on our lives. Perhaps you know someone who has done this. I want to hear your stories. Share them below, or e-mail me at sports@kten.com. Hope you have a wonderful week! - Holly/KTEN Sports
Race fans from all over Texoma have flooded the gates at Grayson County Speedway in Bells, TX this year. The racing has been great this year and a good seat is hard to come by!
I would like to see KTEN do a feature on the North Lamar Girls Softball team about their season and how they are doing in the playoffs. In 3 playoff games they have outscored their opponent 30 - 2 and gave up 1 run total in district play. I believe they have 3 pitchers that have pitched no hitters this season. The stats fly off the charts. They recently had a pep talk from Scott Scudder who is from this area and played with the Reds in the World Series.
By the way, the North Lamar boys baseball team is progressing through the playoffs as well as the Paris boys.
Thanks, dk
St. Mary's Catholic School's Middle School basketball program is beginning to see some success this season. In only there second season in the Dallas Parochial League, both boys and girls teams have come a long way since last season. The boys played at home last week and got their second win of the season. And, just this Saturday, the girls team came away with their first win. The SMS Tigers have to play extremely hard each week as they verse other teams from Catholic Schools in the Dallas area who have had programs for many years and who play with many 8th graders. With only one 8th grader playing on the boys side and two on the girls(the teams have mostly 5th and 6th graders!), SMS will continue to climb the uphill battle for the remainder of the season. GO TIGERS!

In preparation for the state archery tournament to be held February 26th, St. Mary's Catholic School attended an invitational tournament held in Gladewater, Texas last week. Union High School in Gladewater held its first archery tournament in which five schools attended. There were approximately 250 students, grades 3 through 8, who competed. St. Mary's, who took about 50 students, had a great showing.
In the primary category, which is 3rd grade only, St. Mary's placed first overall in the team category and had students in 2nd through 8th places in the individual category: Jesse Flynn 2nd, Tonya Sanchez 3rd, Jared Miller 4th, Duke Jarvis 5th, Luke Miller 6th, Emily Adlof 7th, and Ryan McNamara 8th. In the Elementary division, which is 4th through 6th grades, St. Mary's came in third place as a team and had three students in the top 6 as individuals: Jordyn Wedell 2nd, Charlotte Huckestein 3rd, and Carter Khoury 6th. To be noted, Jordyn Wedell shot the same score as the winner but the tie break comes down to the amount of bulls-eyes that each student shoots. She just had fewer 10's than the winner. And lastly, in the Middle School division, which is 7th and 8th grades, St. Mary's placed first as a team and had three students in the top 8: Mary Claire Cogbill, Jonathan Maniet, and Emily Kirkpatrick all shot a 252 out of 300, with Mary Claire shooting 6 bulls-eyes for the highest rank of the three.
This is the largest group that St. Mary's has ever taken to a tournament. With this being only the third year that archery has been offered at the school, St. Mary's has set the standard quite high having placed 2nd in the state last year. The program continues to grow and to be extremely successful under the leadership of Nathan Wieck and Bill Cogbill.
