Seminole seniors Lauren Smith and Marcela Guevara play just one sport. That sport is tennis and with seasons both in the Fall and in the Spring, there’s not much time for anything else.

In order to rise to a high, competitive level, an individual who plays sports like tennis and golf can’t afford to take much time away from the court or the course. When there are two seasons, even in the summer, they are responsible to keep playing.

The Seminole Indian baseball team beat the Ft. Stockton Panthers 8-4 Tuesday night and claimed their first district championship in nine years.

Emotions ran high before the game started as it was senior night at Robert Ryan Field and those emotions and nerves showed in the first few innings of the game.

Ft. Stockton came out swinging and scored two runs in the top half of the first inning against Indian senior pitcher Cy Cramer.

Cramer would settle down and go all of the way, needing help to get the final out from Noe Ybaben.

While the hail storm that hit Seminole in the last few weeks didn’t drop baseball size pieces of hail on the Seminole ISD bus barn, that doesn’t mean that there are not baseball size dents in the roof. Some of those dents are fresh and of those, one senior is responsible for the majority made this year.
