Recently, we have posted stories highlighting the accomplishments of East Texas area athletes as they have progressed toward medals at the state level. We have showcased medal winners at the UIL State Track & Field Meet, and we have kept up with area teams as they have advanced through the softball and baseball playoffs.

Over the last few weeks, numerous students from across the Pineywoods have been bringing home medals from various UIL State Academic Meets.  Some of those competitions test students' skills in categories such as number sense, debate, accounting, literary criticism, spelling, and many others.
