COLLEGE

Dodley Thermitus won a gold medal in the triple jump for the Texas A&M University-Commerce track & field team to kick off the Lone Star Conference Championships on Thursday at the Javelina Stadium. The Lions secured 14 points on the men’s side to place third after the first day. The Lion women totaled five points to tie for a fifth-place through three events on Thursday.

A&M-Commerce men’s golf team is in a tie for fourth place after the first round of the NCAA South Central/West Super Regional Championships at the Pueblo Country Club on Thursday.

On Thursday, inclement weather in the Tyler area pushed back the Lone Star Conference Tournament by one day. As a result, the Texas A&M University-Commerce softball team, slated to play Angelo State on Friday, will now face the Rambelles on Saturday at 1:30 pm in the first round.

HIGH SCHOOL

Mount Pleasant High School Assistant Basketball Coach Drew Barkley has been named Assistant Coach of the Year by the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches (TABC), an award granted to only eight coaches. Texas High School basketball coaches nominated the TABC awardees, and Regional coordinators and committees voted on them.
