Lisa Borden new Holliday C-2 Superintendent/Principal

In the words of the Old West - there’s a new sheriff in town. Holliday C-2 has a new Superintendent - Lisa Borden.

Borden grew up in the Calleo area, south of Calleo in the Thomas Hill Lake area and graduated from Salisbury High School. After high school she attended the University of Missouri - Columbia where she graduated with her Bachelor of Science in Education with an emphasis in Elementary Education and then also worked on and received her Master’s In Education in Educational Leadership from Mizzou.

Borden received her Educational Specialist from Liberty University, Virginia.

Her early teaching jobs were at Bevier where she taught 4th and 6th grades before turning towards a stay at home mother for seven years. She returned to Bevier where she taught 5th grade and then became certified and taught K-12 vocal and instrumental music.

After leaving teaching and entering administration Superintendent Borden became the Bevier K-6 Principal for five years and then advanced to the K-12 Principal.

“I have really enjoyed meeting everyone here in Holliday,” said Superintendent Borden.

“I love children and I like to teach,” said Superintendent Borden when asked why she went into education. “I am still teaching at my church.”

“Without a doubt my biggest strengths are my experience and my education,” not-

and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially,” said Superintendent Borden regarding her educational Continued to page 4

Love of football leads to a very determined Coyote manager At last year’s Fall Sports Banquet, Brooke Rentschler was the first girl to receive a football letter at Paris R-II Schools.

“I love football,” said Rentschler, a senior who received her letter for her job as a football manager at last year’s Fall Sports Banquet. “I was always jealous of the bond that boys have and I wanted to share in that.”

Brooke noted that she grew up watching football with her dad and knows football really well.

“I respect both Coach (Gary) Crusha and Coach (Quentin) Forrest very much for the job they do,” said Brooke.

“I have such great relationships with the players - I have their back and they have mine,” added Rentschler.

Rentschler is an extremely busy student in both academics and athletics - she

is active in football (manager), softball, golf, basketball, FFA, FBLA, Student Council and works at jacs Restaurant. She is also active in church activities, likes to be with friends and is an avid reader.

Also among Brooke’s claims to fame is the youngest Monroe County Relay For Life member to raise over $1,000.

“I did not have a playbook but by the end of the football season I knew each of the hand signs that was being called on the field,” said Rentschler.

What does a manager do? According to Brooke, she helps supervise the ball and water boys and watches the game while cheering on the players, “like crazy.”

Loving God + Loving Ourselves = Loving Others

Fanatics...

Everyone who knows me knows I am a huge (emphasis on the rather large) baseball fan.

Years ago my wife bought me satellite radio so that I could follow my favorite teams as the radio has - every team, every game. She thought I was a fanatic. Really the only fanatic I knew at the time was the Phillie Fanatic the Philadelphia Phillies mascot.

And then I met two ladies that are truly fanatics by any definition of the word.

These two ladies love sports - not just football all though that would have to be the top sport on their list.

These two ladies have taught me the meaning of being a fan and/or fanatic. You could look up the word fan in Webster’s Dictionary and you would see a picture of Suzy Forrest and Carrie Popkes.

These two ladies do it

DAVID EALES

all. They cheer, they yell, they dance (well sorta dance), they cook, they clean, they take pictures, they do anything necessary to make sure that the Paris Coyotes are successful and have everything they need - be it food, fans or fellowship.

The annual dinners for the Coyotes begin this week and spearheading the dinners are my two favorite fanatics assisted by numerous other team family members and community members.

The players are extremely lucky to have passionate fans that know the importance of youth athletics be it high school, junior high or youth and be it football, cheerleading, softball, baseball, track or golf.

Suzy and Carrie - thank you for taking care of all our youth and not just yours - we all appreciate it!

You make fanatic a great word!

Have a great week!

MY TURN

Ferguson - All About Perspective

The City of Ferguson has changed drastically since my dad, mom and grandma lived there years ago. The death of Michael Brown is an event you would read about taking place somewhere in north St. Louis. As looting and rioting took place and violence escalated, law enforcement likewise reacted with Highway Patrol and finally National Guard response. The reaction to the shooting of the teenager and the reaction of protesters and others on the streets of Ferguson varies widely depending on who you are, where you are and what you do.

If you are young and African American from the St. Louis area, some family member has probably had “the talk” with you about not running, especially at night, on public streets and never arguing with or confronting the police. You have had or someone close to you has had the experience of being stopped by the police and questioned and/or searched for no given reason. So you can be and would be angered and easily identify with Michael Brown.

If you are a resident of Ferguson you might very well feel grief for the family of the teenager but deplore the violence and damage especially if caused by outsiders.

If you are a merchant or store owner you might be

concerned about the decision of law enforcement to “stand down” and allow looting and damage rather than to enforce the law.

If you are a police officer you can’t help but think about what the reaction of the community might be if you had to use your weapon. And would they make a judgment before all of the facts were known.

And if you are one of the rest of us who do not have the experiences and feel for the area, we may have mixed reactions. Most of us, without the facts yet of what transpired between the officer and Michael Brown, would agree that apparently more shots were fired than necessary at the least. Even some who admit to some racial bias believe that the officer may have reacted with more force than necessary. Most everyone deplores the continuing violence and rioting. The best common thread and result will no doubt be the blame game and fault finding all around instead of the agreement that there is a limit to what can be done in the name of law enforcement. And there is also a limit to the right to protest when it turns violent and destructive. And yes, there is still a wide racial divide that shows up often enough to remind us that it needs serious attention.

It is most terrible that a young man lost his life and a family their son and we can and should be able to mourn that loss no matter what else happens.

RJF

Last week we talked about the first factor in our equation which is loving God. This week we are going to talk about the second factor that we need to add to loving God which is loving ourselves. I know this can be a hard one for a lot of us. We are so quick to notice and even dwell on all the negative things about ourselves.

It is easy to compliment others but not so easy to compliment ourselves.

It is amazing how many of us do not love ourselves. We might

LISA TALTON

think we do but when it comes down to it we really don’t. Some of us are walking around with shame about some things we might have done or not done. Some of us are living with unforgiveness in our hearts but not just unforgiveness towards someone else but towards ourselves. We might be beating ourselves up

Instead learn from them and move on. Instead focus on the positive.

When we add the acceptance and understanding of God’s love for us with the acceptance and love for ourselves, we get true love for others. I believe this kind of love would alleviate a lot of problems this world is now facing.

So my prayer is that we may all come to know and accept the awesome and powerful love God has for us and through that love be able to accept ourselves which will enable us to love others.

with our thoughts because we didn’t do this with our life or we allowed this to happen. In our minds we are saying, “How could I have been so stupid?” or “Why didn’t I see that coming?” or “I wish I would have done more with my life.” These are not life giving, positive words or thoughts. These are negative words and thoughts that we are speaking over our lives.

Thinking and feeling this way can bring on self hate.

Then this self hatred can get in the way with accepting God’s love and being able to love ourselves and others which can lead to a not-so-happy life. But God does not want us to feel this way.

COMMUNITY NEWS Kelly’s son-in-law elected to be new Texas County Prosecutor Parke Stevens, son-inlaw of Joy and Pat Kelly, Paris, decisively defeated an incumbent Tuesday, Aug. 5, and won the Republican nomination for Texas County prosecuting attorney.

Stevens, 29, won eight of Texas County’s 10 precincts, gaining 67-percent of the vote in winning the crucial primary. The Republican nominee doesn’t have an opponent in November, so he is in effect the prosecutor-elect, and will be sworn in to the fulltime position Jan. 1, 2015. Stevens received 2,611 votes to 1,292 cast for the incumbent, Mike Anderson, more than a two-to-one margin.

The new prosecutor was born in Rockledge, Florida, raised in Texas County and is a 2003 graduate of Houston High School.

He joined in the U.S. Marines Corps after gradu-

ating from high school and after completing his initial enlistment joined the Marines Reserve. He has served in Iraq, the Republic of Georgia, Peru, Chile and Turkey. In November last year he was commissioned a second lieutenant after completing Marines Officer Candidate School at Quantico, VA. He then spent six months attending The Basic School, a course all Marine officers must complete. While attending the school, he flew home one weekend to file for the prosecuting attorney’s office.

In 2007, Stevens graduated from Northwest Missouri State University and received a law degree from the University of Missouri Kansas City in 2013.

Erica Kelly and Parke Stevens married in Kansas City last year.

ABEL’S

Our son, Robert had his four cajun cookers fired up and started cooking the fish we had while people were cleaning the fish that was caught. My brother, Sam and our friend, Goody deep fried some hot dogs to hold people over till the fish was done. Then they started on cooking the hush puppies. Lots of family helped check over the fish and get it breaded up to cook. Our youngest son Roy handles the tournament so he was hiding out getting all the places and money figured out. Around 5 p.m. we handed out the money and plaques thanked everyone for helping us, the ladies helped me get the rest of the food out.

We probably fed 250 plus people. We finished eating ,cleaned all that up and gave away some door prizes then it was time for the music. Thanks to our friend, Gordon Montgomery for the music. I think a good time was had by all. I know I had a wonderful time. It finally broke up about 1 a.m. Plan on joining us next year. You don’t have

to fish the tournament just come and enjoy the food and music. Thanks again to everyone that helped us in any way.

We are getting older and need all the help we can get.

Educators should act as guides and allow a child’s natural curiosity to direct their learning. Also as educators, we must promote respect for all things and all people.

Education provides an opportunity for continual learning and growth. One of my hopes as an educator is to instill a love of learning in my students, as I share my own passion for learning with them.

CHURCH NEWS

Today our MFUGE group led by Dennis and Susan Kendrick shared stories from their recent trip to Mobile Alabama. They shared the groups they were in and the different things they learned. The theme of this trip was, Be His, be last, be real and be bold. They shared about the mission work they did and each one gave a personal testimony about individuals that they came in contact with during the trip. The group as a whole discussed what they wanted the congregation to go away with today and that was their passion for Christ.

Praise for Charlie and Joyce Horstemeier’s grandson Cooper getting to go home from the hospital, Kathy Laird’s son getting a job, praise from Margaret White for her salvation!

Prayers for Erion Bergmann, Bonnie Sudsberry, Randy Davis, Sherron Melton, Israel, Jim Hurst, Dorothy Woodhurst, Barb Forrest, Don Laird, Sara Watson, family of Mary Whelan, kids and staff returning to school, Paris football players.

Thank you from Margaret White for those who prayed for her and witnessed her baptism last Sunday.

Salt Saturday is August 30 and the group is collecting food for Festival of Sharing. Baby shower for Matt and Sara Watson September 6, 2 p.m., at the Paris Library.

Global Compassion Ministries are looking for volunteers for the Haiti trip in Jan/Feb. 2015, get with David Kendrick for details.

Bible study is every Wednesday night, carry in meal at 6 p.m., and study at 6:30 p.m. Sunday school is at 9:30 a.m., and worship service at 10:30 a.m.

On Sunday, August 17 church services began with the pastor giving an opening prayer. Regular church meetings of the week were announced and all were encouraged to attend. Announcements included: September 1 will be the church Fish Fry from 5-7 p.m. and all donations will go to the Monroe County Cancer Support, September 13 at 8:30 a.m. is Men’s Breakfast, and the Heartland dinner trip will be on September 27 and we will leave the church at 5 p.m.

The message this week was titled ‘Wake Up and Remember’ and came from 2 Peter 3:1-10. Both of Peter’s letters were to arouse his readers and encourage them to a pure mind in Christ. The Church needs this on a consistent basis because it is easy to become accustom to God’s truth and then take His truth for granted. Peter wanted to awaken Christians to live godly lives and seek to win the lost.

The Scriptures were all written by AD 100 and Peter says there are scoffers out there already. Scoffers treat truth lightly when they should treat it seriously. Scoffers were saying Jesus’ return was a false teaching. Scoffers have heard the truth of God and rejected it because they want to live in their sin and own will. They may be good people just doing what they desire; working for possession, comfort, entertainment, and pleasure.

They are not concerned about God’s will for their life.

This describes many in the pews of the Church today.

Scoffers ask where Jesus is. He should have been here by now. Where is the promised abundant life?

Teachings of His return are false and there will be no judgment. Nothing in the past has indicated something that something so traumatic is coming in the future.

The laws of nature will continue as they always have.

Peter calls this willful ignorance. Scoffers refuse to acknowledge that God’s supreme intelligence and power created all men knows by the Word of God. It is God as creator that sustains the universe, not nature.

God trumps nature. Scoffers refuse to acknowledge the flood of Noah’s day. This event shows the past actions of God and indicates the judgment by fire that is coming is real.

No one knows the day and hour Christ will return but the Old and New Testaments are in agreement that it will happen. God has not forgotten or is busy elsewhere. God delays because He wants all who will to come to heaven with Him. God’s delay is to man’s benefit. God created a moral universe because it reflects His holy nature. God has never let evil go without judgment and He is not about to start now.

Our universe will pass away in a great judgment of fire. If man can split the atom surely God can destroy the universe He created. Everything man has built will be destroyed. Even worse the works of man that are not in the name of Jesus will be lost. These are treasures on earth. Treasures stored in heaven in the name of Jesus will remain forever. Everything for self will be gone, everything for Jesus will remain. Where are your treasures stored?

Joys and concerns were expressed before Rev. Holmes led the congregation in prayer, followed by the Lord’s Prayer. The Adult Choir sang “In the Valley He Restoreth My Soul” for special music. The Lord’s Supper was observed and tithes and offerings were given. Rev. Holmes delivered the morning message from Matthew 15:(10-20), 21-28 “Jesus Loves Me?” All were invited to Christian Discipleship.

Announcements: Youth group meets on Sundays, at 6:30 p.m. Donations of snacks would be appreciated for the youth group.

The message “A Simple Twist of Faith” was based on Scripture from Matthew 15 and 17 as faith is what we hope for and do not see... (read Hebrews) We walk by faith - not by sight - by action looking at the world through the eyes of Jesus... Your calling as a disciple is to engage yourself in your community, Jesus gave the power to the twelve disciples to go into the communities to do God’s good works! With fuel from God you can become a messenger of the Holy Spirit. With your faith - do not take NO for an answer (Matthew 17:20) You can move mountains if only you have faith - You can do anything with God... Today is the day to go plant that seed of faith!

The Offertory was led by Max Tilt as Patti played “There Is a Balm in Gilead”.

All retired in fellowship to “I Just Feel Like Something Good is About to Happen”.

Reverend David Holmes welcomed all in attendance at Holliday Christian Church following the prelude by Sally Blakemore, pianist, on August 17.

The church will host a breakfast for all teachers and staff of Holliday C-2 School at 8 a.m., on Monday morning, August 25. A Red Cross Blood Drive will be held at the school on August 27.

Happy birthday wishes were for: Barbara Jarman, Phil Blakemore, Berna Kotsenburg, Johnny Ragsdale and Chet McMorris. Anniversary congratulations were for: Pete and Margaret Olney (70 years), Rod and Cathy Gremaud (38 years), Rodney and Brenda Coffman (35 years) and John and Linda McMorris.

“Jesus Loves Me” was the opening hymn; singing was followed by pastoral prayer and Gloria Patri. Sonja Erwin, Janelle Ewigman, Vonda Neely, Allen Oliver and Michael Sheffield, Jr. were remembered in prayer. Sally and Phil Blakemore shared the joy of the birth of a great grandson, Carter Lee Patrick. Margaret Olney’s sister, Frances Lavender, observed her 90th birthday with a family celebration.

The prayer hymn sung was “Nearer, My God, to Thee”; prayer including recital of the Lord’s Prayer followed. “Beneath the Cross of Jesus” was the communion hymn sung as elders, Jerry Ragsdale and Guy Callison, went forward. Deacons were: Gary Wilson and Darold Thrasher. The doxology closed the communion service.

Reverend Holmes referenced scripture from Matthew 15:21-28 for the morning message. The message was opened by relating the story of Harry Truman’s decision to evacuate the White House in 1948 and the decision to make needed major repairs to keep the structure from crumbling from the inside rather than tear it down. “Jesus Loves Us Unconditionally” – no matter how good (or bad) we look on the outside and no matter what is inside. Whether we are falling apart inside doesn’t stop Him from entering to heal us.

The closing hymn, “Come We That Love the Lord”, was sung, followed by prayer and singing of “The Spirit Song” to close morning worship.

Following a time of fellowship and for refreshments, Bible Study began with a reading from Diane Wilson entitled “I’m Invisible”. From “365 Things God Wants Us to Know”, Berna Kotsenburg read “Honoring Parents is Wise”. Jim McMorris then led the group in prayer and in study of the Eighth Chapter of Acts.

The hymn sing was hosted by the Madison Christian Church on Sunday evening. Services are held each Sunday at Holliday Christian Church beginning with worship at 9:30 a.m., followed by Bible Study at 10:30 a.m. All are welcomed and encouraged to attend.

Kathy Miller opened the service with her prelude. George Bright, Jr. gave the invocation.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: (All events p.m. unless otherwise indicated). Wednesday, August 20, Prayer meeting 6:15, GUTS (Youth Group) 6:30, Choir practice 7.

Mark Bell led the children’s sermon. He showed a story stick which had different colored buttons on it. Each button was a different color and represented purity, growth, promise and gold.

For the Call to Worship Gayln Daffron gave a testimony about her young granddaughter who is battling cancer. Her granddaughter has witnessed to a friend and wants us to pray for her to become a Christian. She is a very courageous little girl and gives a bold witness.

The choir presented a special, “Worthy Of Worship” directed by Cheryl Gholson. Brenda Ensor led children’s church.

Reverend Wesley Hammond’s sermon was from Romans 6, entitled “United In Christ”. The biggest issue in our lives is sin and how we deal with it. We receive new life when we are baptized into His death (v4) “...in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead . . . so we too may walk in a new life.”

Sometimes we do not want to give up sin; we are comfortable with it and because of this we do not experience the fullness of God. We should live like believers and humble ourselves and follow God every day. What God produces in us will be good.

Listening to fans on Coyote social media - “this is the Year of the Coyote.”

This year’s version of the blue and white Paris Coyotes has a couple keywords with their returning letter winners - talent and skilled.

2014’s 13 returning lettermen looking to better last year’s 6-5 record include offensive starters quarterback Kyle Popkes,

Tucker Gruber.

Quarterback Popkes will work hard this season to better his 33 touchdown tosses of last season coupled with his 2,661 yards of real estate passing.

Stone will look to better his 71 receptions, his 1,192 yards and 13 scores.

In the scoring column the Coyotes scored just over 27 points a game passing for an average 242

year at the helm of the Coyotes. “We can do a lot of things offensively to put pressure on opposing defenses.”

Coach Crusha is assisted by Coach Quentin Forrest and Coach Brant Long.

The Coyotes will run out of the “pistol” offense this season.

Defensively the Coyotes surrendered 34.5 points a game last year.

“Our offensive strengths this season are our experience and our athleticism,”

Defensive returnees include strong safety Slater Stone, defensive end August Hayhurst, linebacker Austin Coffman, defensive end Briar Hancock, free safety and team interception leader Laine Forrest, linebacker Tucker Gruber and lineman Dylan Langerud.

Stone led the team in tackles with 12.3 a game and 135 for the season.

Crusha. “We are more experienced and strong up front. I think our defense will show improvements this year. We can put a lot of pressure on defences with our passing game. We have to be able to run the ball better if we want to go to the next level.”

Newcomers to the Coyotes include junior lineman Mike Ensor, freshman defensive back and all purpose offensive weapon Brett Miller, running back and defensive lineman Shelby Powell, tight end and defensive lineman Jon Turner, wide receiver and defensive back Dylan Painter, offensive lineman and linebacker Breck Han-

cock and running back and linebacker Jacob Wolfe.

As always it seems the Lewis and Clark Conference is stacked with “football teams.” Marceline, Westran and Salisbury coupled with Paris makes Lewis and Clark a strong conference.

One of the keys to the season is health. The Coyotes have to stay healthy and keep away from the injury bug to be truly successful.

The season starts a week earlier this year and the Coyotes will have two regular season games within the month of August. The Coyotes will host Schuyler County (Aug. 22), Knox

The Paris R-II Lady Coyotes Softball team heads into the 2014 season working on bettering last year’s 3-18 record with returning letter winners Rachel Blades, Alex Dreckshage, Abbie Wheelan and Britany Wiliams.

Add to these stellar players newcomers Carmyn Holmes, Drew Lockhart, Grace Peak, Hannah Bartels, Brooke Rentschler, Katelyn Breid, Madison Breid, Macalyla Hagenhoff and Hannah Mitchell and the team looks to succeed.

Lost to graduation were All Conference players Jill Nobis and Brooke Hunt and letter winners Josey Ball, Taylor Redmon, Rae Graupman, Kaylee Callison and Mackenzie Fox..

The Lady Coyotes are ably coached by Mike

Fible and assisted on the sidelines by experienced assistant coach Gretchen O’Bryan.

This year’s version of the Lady Coyotes might be small in numbers but they are long on determination, enthusiasm and hustle.

Coach Fible is quick to point out the team strengths including team speed spread throughout the lineup.

“Even though we will be young we do have several players with experience at the varsity level,” said Coach Fible. “We are returning four of nine starters from last year and two other players that saw significant playing time at the varsity level last season.”

The Lady Coyotes have a simple goal but one that

requires practice and determination - to be competitive every game. Their second goal is to make it to one tourney championship and to play deep into the playoff system.

Coach Fible and Assistant Coach O’Bryan see Marceline, Westran and Salisbury as the class of the Lewis and Clark Conference.

Coach Fible has the following philosophy: “Offensively we are going to have to manufacture runs by bunting, stealing and using lower percentage plays such as hit and runs and delay steals. Defensively we are going to have to focus on the fundamentals making sure of an out when the other team gives it to us.”

The Lady Coyotes start the season at home for four games - on Tuesday, Aug. 26 versus Van-Far

2014 SPORTS PREVIEW

Lady Coyotes look to seniors to lead The 2014 Paris R-II Lady Coyotes Golf team look to better last year’s record of 2-10 in Match Play.

Although in the District tournament they finished 7th out of 11 teams, they beat Westran, Salisbury, Marshall, and Cairo. Rachel Batsell qualified to compete in the sectional tournament but fell short of making it to the State Tournament.

Returning Letter winners include: Seniors Rachel Batsell, Brooke Rentchler, Audrey Vitt and Courtney Dickey Team strengths: Last year they were a team of five second year golfers.

This year they have four seniors that are in their third year of playing golf. Ninth year Coach Jeremy Skinner expects them to know how to score better this year and to have a more competitive year throughout.

Team Goals: At Districts last year they beat Salisbury and Westran so hopefully Coach Skinner thinks they can build on that and close the gap on Marceline to compete for a conference title. This year they will have another team to contend with as Slater has

added girls golf.

“I have no idea what to expect out of them,” said Coach Skinner. “We want to have some girls qualify for sectionals, although they will have their work cut out for them because of the new district alignment. This year we have 4 St. Louis schools in our district that always have low scores.”

Predicted Conference Finish: If the girls continue to improve from last year Coach Skinner thinks they should be in the top two of the conference.

Coach Skinner’s Coaching Philosophy: “I want to introduce the game of golf to as many students as possible because it is a great game that a lot of kids never get exposed to when they are young. I want to teach the students how to play the game so they can enjoy it for the rest of their lives.”

Coach’s Comments: “Last year we had two 2nd Team All-Conference Players Rachel Batsell and Audrey Vitt. Along with my four seniors I am excited to have three freshmen joining us this year - Amber Chapman, Regan Ragsdale, and Sharon Schoonover.

Madison Lady Panthers look to maturity

The Purple and Gold Madison C-3 Lady Panther Softball Team will be under the tutelage of Coach Bryany Jones in his third year of softball coaching. Jones will be ably assisted in the dugout

by Lexa Brooks.

Last year the Lady Panthers finished 1-15 overall

and were win less in CAC Conference action. This year the Lady Panthers look to better that record with solid play, determination, hustle and hard work both in practice and on the field during game days.

Lost to graduation were Samantha LeGrand

who was named All CAC and All District and Allie Dunkin.

Returning starters for the Lady Panthers are left fielder Maddison Breid, center fielder Jenna Stoebe, right fielder Lindsey Hendren, first baseman Hunter Salmons, second baseman Katie Youse,

pitcher Payton Greiwe and catcher Breanna Hancock.

Coach Bryant praised the following players as “players to watch for this season” - Pitcher Payton Greiwe, Breanna Hancock, Hunter Salmons, Maddison Breid, Jenna Stoebe, Lindsey Hendren,

Katie Youse who all need to step up this season for the Lady Panthers.

According to Coach Bryant several young players Billie Cullom, Trinity Morris, Brie Staggs, Emily Butchenek and others will be competing for playing time with the returning start-

ers.

“We do have a bunch of players returning this year and so far in practice have been making good progress,” said Coach Bryant.

“Our success this season will depend on how fast we can mature and catch up to other teams that are more developed.”

The team goals are very attainable - they have finished last in the CAC for the past two years and they would like to climb the ladder so to speak.

“You always have to respect the consistent success of Cairo, New Franklin and Sturgeon,” said Coach Bryant. “They will be tough again this year and Glasgow had a good year last year as well.”

Coach Bryant explains his coaching philosophy as the following: “Right now we are focused as being as fundamental as

possible. Once we have gotten those fundamentals in place we can really begin to build. We just have to be patient with these young kids. They are going to be competing against more mature teams who have been playing together since 12U softball. We just have to stay focused, stay committed and keep moving forward. If we can do that, as well as begin, raising expectations of ourselves then we will continue to improve.

The Lady Panthers begin season play on Monday, August 25 at home versus Westran.

The Lady Panthers will host Brunswick, Atlanta, Sturgeon, Marion County, Cairo, Paris, South Shelby, LaPlata and Fayette.

The Lady Panthers travel to Bucklin, Cairo, New Franklin, Glasgow, Higbee, Keytesville and Bevier. The Lady Panthers will participate in the Paris Lady Coyote Tournament.

2014 Madison Baseball Panthers to rely on experience and depth

The purple and gold Madison C-3 Panthers will participate in Fall Baseball again this season. Back for his fourth year at the helm is Coach Bryant Jones. He will be ably assisted in the dugout by Assistant Coach Lexa Brooks. The team looks to improve upon its 4-7 overall and 2-3 in CAC Conference play.

The team returns a bevy of experience with returning letter winners Tyler Bennett (All CAC), Jacob Wandrey (All CAC), Blaine Love (All CAC), Dustin Kethem, Austin Freels, Nick Graigg, Joe Hulen, Dylan Apel and Dalton Apel.

Lost to graduation was All CAC and All District star Blake Brown.

Players on Coach Bryant’s watch list are Pitchers Tyler Bennett, Jacob Wandrey and Dylan Apel coupled

with catcher Blaine Love.

Breakout candidates include Ricardo Gonzalez, Nick Craigg, Joe Hulen, Austin Freels, Dustin Ketchem and Dalton Apel.

The team strengths include experience as the Panthers return eight starters and have seven with at least two years varsity experience. Also the team has depth as they have five pitchers they can rely on to throw strikes and be competitive at the varsity level.

The Panthers have finished no better than fourth in the CAC the past three years. This year the Panther players and Coaching staff know they can do better and expect to be in the middle of the conference championship race.

Coach Bryant notes that the CAC is a strong baseball conference.

“We have had three

teams in our conference that won their district last spring, and we had two reach the final four - Cairo, Sturgeon and New Franklin are the top three every year but I think we can change that.”

Coach Bryant explains his baseball coaching philosophy as the following: “As a team that expects to compete for championships we have to have a championship mentality. That means expecting to play our best every time we step on the field regardless of the opponent.

That means handling adversity when it hits us and battling through it.

Support your

Championship teams do not allow outside factors to beat them. We have to have that mental toughness to eliminate distractions, control the control the controllable and persevere against good teams.”

The Panthers begin season play on Tuesday, August 26, on the road at Bucklin.

The Panthers will host Brunswick, Atlanta, Sturgeon, Marion County, Cairo and LaPlata.

The Panthers travel to Bucklin, Cairo, New Franklin, Glasgow, Higbee, Keytesville and Bevier. The Panthers will host the annual Madison Tournament.
