Tigerettes top Thorndale

After spotting the Thorndale Lady Dogs (21-12 overall, 3-1 District 26-2A) a one set lead, the Thrall Tigerettes (22-13, 4-0) seized control of Saturday’s match to take sole possession of first place in District 26-2A with a 22-25, 25-19, 25-16, 25-15 win. Thrall got off to a quick start in the opening set, leading 3-0, but Thorndale took advantage of solid net play and multiple Tigerettes miscues to take a 9-3 lead. The Lady Dogs were able to maintain control until the late going when Thrall made a run to cut the lead to 24-22, but Kyndal Robinson’s kill closed out the first set for Thorndale. 10/12/2022 07:32 AM

We are just past the halfway point of football season which makes me very sad, we waited all summer long to watch football and now it is almost over. There are still plenty of games to enjoy before the end of the season, especially locally. 10/12/2022 07:32 AM

Taylor to vote on $82.47 million bond

TAYLOR – With half of Taylor’s schools projected to be over capacity in 2026 and the fact that it takes three years to get a new school designed and built, Taylor ISD is on a tight deadline to get funding approved. Add in the safety and security updates needed at the existing schools, and you have the foundation for the $82.47 million bond Taylor ISD residents will be voting on come November. 10/08/2022 08:57 AM
