Ladycats inch closer to District Championship
Ladycats inch closer to District Championship
The Weimar Ladycat varsity softball team had just one game left in their regular season following a big win against Louise. While they will still need to take care of business in the finale against Flatonia, the Ladycats have done just about everything they needed to do to claim the District Championship for themselves. Weimar, a team the TGCA has ranked as the fifth best 2A team in the state, put themselves in the pole position in the district standings after beating fellow top-five team Ganado. The Ladycats matched up with the Lady Indians and handed the no. 3 ranked team their second district loss, both of which came at the hands of Weimar. Ganado went on to lose a third district game to Shiner, another team in Weimar’s stacked district that stands in the top 20 of the state poll. With a path to victory in place, the Ladycats got one step closer to achieving their mission of sweeping the end of district season and claiming their second district championship in three years after defeating Louise in a 15-run shutout. 04/19/2023 12:00 AM

Lady Raiders stop shutout to prevent second straight
Lady Raiders stop shutout to prevent second straight
All season, the Lady Raiders’ varsity softball team has had some struggles with scoring runs as well as preventing their opponents from responding with their own runs. The month of April came with some more difficulties for the Lady Raiders in that regard as to this point, they have allowed three of their four opponents to score into double digits. While they could not keep many of the games close, the Lady Raiders battled to prevent shutouts with just one so far in April. Their lone shutout loss came at the hands of the Tidehaven Lady Tigers to begin last week’s competition. Rice followed that defeat with a trip away from home to Hallettsville where they suffered another blowout defeat. 04/19/2023 12:00 AM

Raiders make contact, fail to convert runs
The Rice Raiders’ varsity baseball team had some quality hitting over the last week of competition. The Raiders found several hits and even played some at-bats with bases loaded with potential to score. However, despite a week of effective hitting at the plate, the Raiders could not get the big swings to bring in scores for the offense. Many runners were left on board as the Raiders struggled to bring runs home from the base path. Even in a game where the Raiders outhit their opponents, they still suffered two-straight blowout losses as they failed to keep pace with their opponents’ scoring. 04/19/2023 12:00 AM

GAYELYNN THOMAS
My name is GayeLynn Thomas. I was born in Eagle Lake and have lived here for nearly all of my 60 years. Before retiring and opening a small business here, I worked as an educator for approximately 37 years, mostly at the community college level. In addition to my position on the city council, I currently serve as a director on both the Chamber of Commerce board and the Rails-to-Trails Project board, organizations focused on creating a better future for Eagle Lake. I believe that the residents of Eagle Lake deserve council members who are dedicated to moving our city forward. I am seeking re-election to the Eagle Lake City Council in order to continue the progress we are making, and I would appreciate your support on Election Day. 04/19/2023 12:00 AM
