CONGRATULATIONS TO THE LADY PANTHERS FOR AN INCREDIBLE BASKETBALL SEASON! Thank you to all of our student athletes for providing our community with the best entertainment money can buy. Getting to see our youth compete in sports is a great treat. The success of our schools in athletics and academics is a great help in maintaining our community and attracting new residents to our area. I also want to thank all of our coaches for their dedication and the extra hours they work preparing our students to be competitive. The same goes to all of our teachers. I want to thank our Superintendent and School Board for budgeting the funds to support our programs and our maintenance department for physically maintaining the facilities! We have a wonderful school district!

The Slidell Lady Greyhounds pieced together a 17-5 run in the second quarter on Friday and then held on to claim a 46-29 victory over the Gorman Lady Panthers in a regional semifinal showdown in Mansfield.

Kyndall Scitern pumped in 24 points and Delila Crain added 14 more last week and powered the Gorman Lady Panthers to an impressive 66-20 victory over the Priddy Lady Pirates in the Area round of the Class 1A girl’s state basketball playoffs.

By Tommy Wells Kyndall Scitern and Delila Crain combined for 34 points and Monday night and powered the Gorman High School Lady Panthers to a convincing 64-21 victory over the Iredell Lady Dragons in the first round of the Class A schoolgirl state playoffs.

Second graders at Gorman’s Maxfield Elementary recently felt “Out of this World” as they learned about our Solar System. Learning dictionary skills calls for hard work and teamwork!

Burr!!!!!!!!!! I am certainly glad last week is over and hope we don’t have any more weather that cold. Although, I’m sure the soaking our area received will certainly help our farmers and ranchers. Our patio looked like an ice-skating rink, but I didn’t try it out. I don’t bounce as well as I used too.

Delila Crain scored a lot of points on Friday against the Gordon Lady Longhorns. None, however, were as important as the ones she threw in in the fourth quarter.

In a special meeting on January 20, 2023 the Governing Body of the City of Gorman considered a contract with Eastland County Sheriff’s Department for law enforcement.

How it Works: This year students will be able to earn Panther Bucks throughout each six weeks and “Spend” them at the PTO store. We will set up inside the elementary building following the six weeks awards where students who earned Panther Bucks can shop through a variety of prizes!

Delila Crain poured in a game-high 17 points and four other Gorman players added doubledigit performances last week and helped power the Lady Panthers to a decisive 75-17 rout of Three Way Ranked No. 8 in the latest Texas Girls Coaches Association poll, the Lady Panthers wrapped up its 26th win early. Gorman outscored Three Way by a 19-0 clip in the opening eight minutes of the contest.

The Gorman Lady Panthers took a major step toward nailing down a berth in the Class A state playoffs last week by grinding out a pair of impressive wins. Gorman moved to 5-1 in district play with wins over Bluff Dale and Strawn.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Vicki and I wish you all a blessed and prosperous new year! May you be rich in good health, a loving family, and safety! I suppose that all the families with children in school were glad to see school back in session Monday. I bet even the kids were glad to get back in school if for no other reason than to see all their friends. Although with Facetime, Facebook and other internet sites, I’m sure the kids stayed in touch with some of their friends over the holidays.

The Gorman High School Lady Panthers found the perfect way to wash away the memories of their first loss of the 2022-23 basketball season by upending the Gordon Lady Longhorns in overtime on Dec. 30.
