There's certainly no love lost when Highway 79 rivals Henderson and Carthage get together. For years, it's been among East Texas' most intense rivalries.
The long-standing feud is renewed once again on Sept...
HALLSVILLE -- Tyler Lee had some things going for it Tuesday facing East Texas' historically best big school program. It largely forced Hallsville to win against good serving and a strong front court.
But, just when the Lady Raiders got slightly comfortable with a 21-18 lead in the second set after a first set loss, Ladycats senior hitter Audrey Slaten found her own groove and reeled off eight of the next nine Hallsville points for a second set win and then the framework for a pretty easy third set.
MARSHALL -- The Carthage Lady Bulldogs swept a dual volleyball match Tuesday, defeating Marshall (25-9, 25-9, 25-19) and New Diana (25-20, 25-14, 25-12).
In the win over Marshall, Carthage (15-2) was led by Cindrasha Boykin, who had eight kills...
It's funny to think a team that started the season 1-5 could have clawed all the way back to win a state championship. Yet Arp got closer and closer to an 11-5 record with a ring last season.

It takes grit to survive in this program.
The past two years were fun ones for Lufkin fans. Their classic rivalries within East Texas actually meant something once the Panthers got demoted from Class 6A to Class 5A.
But there were drawbacks as well...
Carthage has established itself as one of the state's premier powers at the Class 4A level over the last decade. Since 2007, the Bulldogs are an impressive 105-25 (.808) with four state championships to their name...
An East Texas presence in the state's largest classification will be on full display in District 11-6A this season as John Tyler and Longview make the jump up from 5A.
How that will affect the league race remains to be seen...
Lufkin almost always gets ranked when writers explore high school football culture around the nation. If the town doesn't get ranked, it's a bad oversight.
Panthers fans fill the home side of their 11,000-seat Abe Martin Stadium and spill over into designated seating on the away side. Whether it's getting riled up about a bad call or bad execution, the assuredly deserving offenders get to hear it from all directions.
