Carthage defensive lineman Dakota Hart will lead talented players from all over East Texas as they gear up for the 2nd Annual Fellowship of Christian Athletes' 'Heart of a Champion Bowl'.

The all-star football game is scheduled 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 9, at Lobo Stadium in Longview.

Approximately 110 East Texas football players representing 60 schools will take part in the game. Last year's contest was won the Red All-Stars, 24-0.

Carthage Independent School District voters went to the polls last weekend and approved all three propositions for the district, which was good news for the Bulldog football teams and other athletic programs as well.

Carthage first-year boys basketball coach Jon Haft offered a free basketball camp for sixth through eighth grade boys in order to give them some one-on-one work to help sharpen their skills as they prepare for their junior high and high school careers.

The camp was held last week at the Carthage Junior High School Gymnasium as the coach welcomed a number of interested athletes.

Carthage junior Jared Twomey may have barely earned a pair of berths to the University Interscholastic League Track & Field this past Saturday, but he made the best of both opportunities. Twomey earned a silver medal in the 110-meter high hurdles and was part of the Bulldog 4x400-meter relay that also captured a silver on Saturday at Mike A. Myers Stadium on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin.
