Garrison's Dustin Stahan was named Co-Most Valuable Player of District 21-1A  and Gary senior outfielder/pitcher Luke Thornton was among the players honored last week when the All-District 21-1A baseball teams were released by the league. The players were nominated and voted upon by the coaches.

Thornton played two positions, but was a first-team outfielder, along with Garrison senior Nathan Burkhalter, Douglass senior Blake Wallace and Timpson junior Tyler Jackson.

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'.

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.

HENDERSON, Tx - This year's four softball games between District 21-1A foes Beckville and Garrison could have easily been compared to a boxing match between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier. Both fought toe-to-toe and wouldn't back down.

Each of the games between these two Class 1A heavyweights was full of damaging blows. And with each school trying to claim their first trip to the state softball tournament on Thursday at Lady Lion Field, this game was no different.

Athletes interested in becoming a part of the Panola College baseball team will have a chance next month to earn a spot on the NJCAA squad.
