A Mother’s apron is a badge of her trade Whether cooking or cleaning or beds to be made Or wipe away a child’s tears while doing other things Or memories of someone untying her apron strings Maybe she picks up toys the children left laying around Maybe she picks up little chicks or a kitten she found Maybe on a walk they picked flowers along the way Maybe she began to bake for the holidays When she puts on her apron to bake Do you expect to find an angel in an Angel cake? 05/11/2023 12:00 AM

Wranglers survive wild, wild week to advance to Region V tournament
Wranglers survive wild, wild week to advance to Region V tournament
When the weekend started, the Cisco College Wranglers were on the outside looking in at the Region V Baseball Championships. Then, on Saturday, the Wranglers completed a sweep of the North Central Texas College Lions and found themselves in a threeway tie for fourth in the Northern Texas Junior College Athletic Conference standings. Still, the baseball gods didn’t shine on Cisco. The Wranglers, by virtue of tie-breaker rules in the conference, finished two points behind rival Ranger College in a power ranking poll based on how each team had done against the top squads in the conference during the regular season. On Tuesday, the tables turned – again. NTJCAC Commissioner Stan Feaster notified the conference that Ranger College had withdrawn from the regional tournament – a fact that will send Cisco to the postseason. 05/11/2023 12:00 AM
