Gorman Progress

The Gorman Lady Panthers swept all three relay races last weekend and cruised to the girls’ team championship at the Rising Star Invitational.

Delila Crain and Hadli Hampton both enjoyed breakout seasons for the Gorman Lady Panthers this year en route to leading Gorman to a deep postseason run.

Hot and cold, I think I’m ready for some consistency. But that will never happen in Texas. What can happen though is that everyone can mow their weeds and any grass that is too high. I drove around town over the weekend, and we are looking pretty shaggy. It’s been nice this winter not having to worry about mowing, but that time is over. Please take the initiative and start cleaning up.

On Thursday, March 17th, 2022 multiple fires erupted throughout Eastland County. One of the fires crossed into Carbon, Texas where multiple law enforcement agencies assisted with traffic control and evacuations while fire departments diligently fought the massive fires that were moving rapidly across the area.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE LADY PANTHERS FOR AN INCREDIBLE BASKETBALL SEASON! Thank you to all of our student athletes for providing our community with the best entertainment money can buy. Getting to see our youth compete in sports is a great treat. The success of our schools in athletics and academics is a great help in maintaining our community and attracting new residents to our area. I also want to thank all of our coaches for their dedication and the extra hours they work preparing our students to be competitive. The same goes to all of our teachers. I want to thank our Superintendent and School Board for budgeting the funds to support our programs and our maintenance department for physically maintaining the facilities! We have a wonderful school district!

By Tommy Wells Kyndall Scitern and Delila Crain combined for 34 points and Monday night and powered the Gorman High School Lady Panthers to a convincing 64-21 victory over the Iredell Lady Dragons in the first round of the Class A schoolgirl state playoffs.

Second graders at Gorman’s Maxfield Elementary recently felt “Out of this World” as they learned about our Solar System. Learning dictionary skills calls for hard work and teamwork!

Burr!!!!!!!!!! I am certainly glad last week is over and hope we don’t have any more weather that cold. Although, I’m sure the soaking our area received will certainly help our farmers and ranchers. Our patio looked like an ice-skating rink, but I didn’t try it out. I don’t bounce as well as I used too.

Delila Crain scored a lot of points on Friday against the Gordon Lady Longhorns. None, however, were as important as the ones she threw in in the fourth quarter.
