A-B Honor Roll

9th Grade A Honor Roll

I know everyone didn’t get six inches of rain a week ago, but we did in Gorman, and I know a lot of folks in the area that also got a good rain. It didn’t do much for the lake, but I know a lot of tanks are looking better. I think everything is looking greener too! It helps that we are getting cooler weather also. Although, only in Texas do we consider the 90’s cooler weather. Thanks to the rain I even had to mow my yard!

The Gorman Panthers saw their season record dip to 1-4 on Friday with a tough 55-0 setback to the Milford Bulldogs in a non-district matchup.
