Which baseball team will step up to win District 5-4A is anyone’s guess. As of last week, Guyer was alone in first place while five teams stood tied for second. Then came Tuesday and the Wildcats’ 4-2 loss to Azle. Now, at least three teams are tied for the top spot heading into Friday’s slate [...]
It’s obvious how high expectations are around the Marcus girls’ soccer team these days. Simply look back at their playoff history. The Marauders (20-3-1) have been to the Class 5A state tournament five times since 2003; their last appearance was in 2007. After falling one win shy of a sixth trip last year with a [...]
Marcus baseball coach Jeff Sherman admitted earlier this week his players weren’t mentally ready for their March 22 game against rival Flower Mound, which turned out to be a 3-1 loss. “The game was simply too big for us,” the first-year coach said. “The team we faced has been in those big situations and their [...]
Six years ago, Chris Wessling built his son Cole a pitching mound. He wasn’t a professional, but he did the best he could. It was the perfect addition to the long grassy area on the side of their Lantana home where Chris played catch with Cole almost every day. “I’d get up there and he’d [...]
Losing 11 seniors to graduation — including a Division I pitcher — won’t be easy for the Marcus baseball team to overcome this spring. New coach Jeff Sherman had six pitchers show up for the first round of practices last week, but they bring with them a combined 20 innings of work from last year, [...]
The expectations for 2013 are quite simple for the Guyer baseball team: score more runs. The Wildcats averaged just four runs through 14 district games last year, resulting in a .500 record (three wins in their final 10 games) and no playoffs for the first time in three seasons. “We hardly had the run production [...]
The Marcus softball team rarely misses the postseason, so when they turned in a dud in 2006 the seniors responded the very next season with a trip to the Class 5A state tournament. They hadn’t missed the postseason since, that is until a disappointing 2012. “I’m trying not to think about it too much, but [...]
All five of Marcus’ projected college baseball signees have signed their official letters of intent.

Senior shortstop Nick Lewis [...]
Guyer quarterback and Texas commit Jerrod Heard has been named District 5-4A’s Most Valuable Player and highlights a solid list of Wildcats on the recently-released all-district team.

My ribs were bruised; I had bloody gashes in my left knee and my ankles … oh my sore ankles. But I found myself there again, stretching out soreness on a park bench ready for another run. This wasn’t just any workout. I’d be running hills, some rough terrain and through some wooded areas. I’d [...]
Things, people and places change which impact industry and new trends are set. I’ve worked with newspapers since 1993, before computers were used to build pages. Copy was set with an exacto knife and paste around full page ads costing single advertisers as much as a new car for one press-run Businesses reaped a great return [...]
My first thought when I received the notice for the IRON MAN 3 screening was, “do we need another Iron Man movie?”. The first film was superb, the second one mediocre at best, plus we had a good dose of the suited, brilliant, billionaire, playboy Tony Stark in the Avengers film. My concern was not [...]
