Fast Out of the Gates

The Seminole Indians used an explosive start in the first half of play to secure their first win of the 2018 regular season Friday evening, defeating the Class 5A Lubbock High Westerners 21-7 in non-district play held at Wigwam Stadium.

Maidens Fall to Rangerettes in 3 Sets Tuesday

Midland Greenwood's Kaylee Cheek had a team high nine kills and added in two aces as she helped pace the Rangerettes in a three-game sweep of the Seminole Maidens in non-district volleyball play held at the Seminole High School campus.

Looking to Start on the Right Foot

Miscues and missed opportunities hampered the Seminole Indians in their 2017 season opener against the Lubbock High Westerners. They were mistakes which resulted in the Tribe’s lone regular season blemish -- a 20-17 overtime loss -- at Lubbock ISD’s Lowery Field at PlainsCapital Park in Lubbock.

As any athletic coach will be quick to point out, what happened in the past is in the past. But the lessons learned from such an experience can also prove to be a powerful lesson for the future.
