Schools

by Cecil Tatom Sabine County Reporter Ahhhhh. Can you feel it? The electricity in the air, the popping of the pads? Those sounds only mean one thing: it’s time for those Friday night lights to shine at full capacity, for its football time in Texas! The West Sabine Tigers hit the road to open their season versus the Tenaha Tigers, but with a little twist.

The Hornets showed up Friday night to show the San Augustine Wolves they meant business. By the halftime Hemphill was leading the game 28-0 and had no intentions of stopping there, by the end of the night they would win the game with a 42-0 lead! These boys worked hard all night!!

The Hemphill Hornet football boys spent their friday morning giving back to their littlest fans! Here you see Qwavian Smith and Dekevin Smith in Mrs.Laurence Pre-k class reading. I’m not sure who was more excited the pre-k students or the athletes. Coach Stark wants his boys to be role models for the younger ones and what better way than showing up to mentor them!

Are you bored watching TV every night, waiting for the weekend, so you can do something different? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then David Roach, owner of DR Martial Arts Academy in Hemphill, would like to speak with you.
