Powerlifing in Pineland has been super successful this season. Last week both the varsity boys and girls won the meet hosted by West Sabine. The boys have won every meet and the girls have won the last 3. Thank you to all the workers who helped host the meet.

Super Bowl LVII was this weekend and, for the first time in history, both starting quarterbacks are from the great state of Texas. Whichever team you support, it will be a win for the Lone Star State!

I was six years old when I drank my first “sodie water”. As I walked past Jess and Bob’s Café in Center, my Uncle Travis Watson (partowner of the Café) stopped me and asked, “Henry, do you want a sodie water?” It was my first one ever and my reach into the icy water produced a powerful, eyewatering bottle of 7-Up. After a short coughing spell, I thanked my Uncle and ran home to tell Mother.

Newton kept it close for the 1st quarter, then the Hornets quick hands defense began to assert itself, opening up a 14 point lead by halftime before cruising to a 76-54 win in their District play opener. The Eagles had no answer for the speed on defense and the aggressive, attack the basket offense, fueled by Papa Whites 20 points, Kam Arringtons 11, and Jay Blakes 8, until a look at the scorebook that showed Tookie Williams with a 'quiet' game high 29! It was easy to be caught up watching his defensive play, and enjoying the acrobatics of White and Blake driving through the Eagle defense, while overlooking the sharpshooting Williams with the hot hand in the 2nd half, 11 points in the 3rd quarter, 9 more in the 4th.
