A successful program started by Faith Community Hospital last year has been expanded with the opening of the Swan Family Wellness Center.
Teen Boot Camp will run Tuesdays and Thursday from 1-2 p.m. through the month of July at the Wellness Center behind the hospital. Wellness Director Joe Copeland said the program is completely free for those in grades 6-12 and had about 25-30 kids last year attending consistently. With the opening of the center, Copeland is hoping for more this year.
Hope springs eternal.
After the successful Spring sports season Jacksboro athletes had as a whole, it could mean the start of something good in Tigerland.
While there were several highlights of the sports year as a whole, perhaps the highlight was the Tiger baseball team going three rounds deep into the Class 3A playoffs.
Results for the annual Jack County Sheriff’s Posse Rodeo are as follows:
In bareback riding, Tyler Johnson won with a score of 73 with Leighton Berry second with a score of 65. Laney Fowler won the barrel racing event with a time of 15.61 with Jackie McMinn second with a time of 15.625. Cheyenne Baldwin was third with a time of 15.81.
More than 50 students came out for Jacksboro basketball and volleyball camp Monday morning.
The camp, which ran through Wednesday, was split up into two sections. Campers were split up into two groups by age.
One group honing their volleyball skills with Head JHS Volleyball Coach Rosana Barbosa and the other going into the back gym to show their hoop skills and see how to improve them with Head Girls Basketball Coach Todd Matlock and his staff. The camps switched mid morning with the older kids learning volleyball and the younger ones learning basketball.
the Top of Texas Youth Football League will begin signing up kids June 7 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Twin Lakes baseball fields.
Registration will continue June 14 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Twin Lakes baseball fields. Signups will also be going on during TNT Fest (look for the cheer booth)
TNT Fest is coming up and the Swan Family Wellness Center is looking for sand volleyball players to take part in a tournament.
A sand volleyball tournament will begin at 11 a.m. June 24 at the courts at the Twin Lakes fields with co-ed teams of four (two males and two females) needed to compete. The cost is $40 per team with the winning team getting 20 percent of the proceeds with the runnerup getting its entry fee back.
Baseball is America’s pastime. About 40 boys (and girl) found out why earlier this week.
Jacksboro High Baseball Coach Blake Belcher hosted the school’s annual Baseball Camp May 30-June 1 and had about 40 kids sign up to learn more about the sport. After the success the high school Tigers had this year, falling in three games in the Region I quarterfinals, it bodes well for the future of the program to see players in grades 1-8 wanting to learn more.
