County schools prepare for first official week of practice

Sulphur Springs senior Boo Wilkerson works on his outside shot last week as he prepares to help lead the Wildcats to another deep playoff run in his final year. In his junior season Wilkerson was named first team All-District and was one of the leaders of the Wildcats offense, creating scoring opportunities for both himself and his teammates. Sulphur Springs went 28-9 a year ago and made it to the Regional Quarterfinals before losing to No. 1 ranked Lancaster.

6-foot ,10-inch senior Chris Boekhorst throws down a dunk during post drills in Saltillo’s practice last week. Boekhorst had a great junior campaign in which he was named the MVP of District-24A and was a huge part of the Lions 30-5 season. Saltillo advanced to the Regional Quarter Finals before losing to Slidell and hopes to make an even deeper run in the 2020-2021 season.

Sophomore Logan Butler catches a pass in the 7-on-7 portion of Cumby’s practice Tuesday. The Trojans went 8-4 last season and hope to have an even better year in their first season under new head coach Charles Boles. Cumby will have their first official day of practice Monday.
