Idle Thoughts
Bet Bonnie Richardson sleeps well tonight. Richardson, a junior at Class A Rochelle High School, won the Class A TEAM championship over the weekend at the UIL State Track and Field Championships in Austin. That is not a typo. Richardson, the only athlete from her school to qualify for the state meet, totaled 42 points Friday and Saturday. She won the high jump, placed second in the long jump and was third in the discus Friday, and Saturday she won the 200 meters and placed second in the 100. Her 42 points beat team runner-up Chilton by six points. Turns out all of my old coaches were wrong. There is an I in TEAM (wish I had come up with that line, but credit goes to News-Journal sports writer Gabe Brooks).
Not a lot of pairings completed yet, but the matchups for next weekend’s softball and baseball playoffs are settled. In softball, Hallsville will meet Hewitt Midway in the 4A regional semifinals and Harmony will face Tatum in the Class 2A regional semis. Still waiting word on Spring Hill’s next opponent. In baseball, Gilmer will face Pittsburg and Carthage will meet Hutto in Class 3A regional quarterfinal action. New Diana meets New Boston, Hughes Springs takes on Harleton and Elysian Fields will battle Hemphill in Class 2A and Carlisle faces Maud and Overton meets McLeod in Class A
