Tigers drop home opener

The Tigers lost to state ranked Corsicana last night in their home opener 7-1.  Corsicana took advantage of home opener nerves to score 3 times in the first inning. Terrell had its chances, but could never put together a big inning.  The play in the I-45 Classic starting Thursday in Palmer.

Home Opener

Tonight is the home opener for the Tigers baseball team.  The field has had a make over, with final touches still to be completed.  Yesterday parents and workers were putting up netting, bricks and painting.

This morning Tiger baseball players will be at Long Elementary School to greet the kids as the show up for school and tonight is Long night at the ball park.  Students from Long will get in free.  Mr. Charles Temple will throw out the first pitch.

Cowtown 10K

Saturday morning was the Cowtown 10K in Ft. Worth.  This is the 3rd year Brian and I have ran it.  I really need to work on my time.  I was 5 minutes slower this year than last.  I'm sure stopping to take pictures has nothing to do with it.

Tigers split

Yesterday was the final day of the Wills Point tournament.  The Tigers dropped the first game 7-4 to Palmer and won their second game over Canton 6-5.  They are back in action Tuesday night against Corsicana.

Amazing Grace

Last night was the Terrell Police Department Awards Banquet.  Pictures from the banquet are posted on the Facebook page.  At the end of the evening a bag pipe player played Amazing Grace.  A nice way to end the night.

This is the back of the local appliance store. A month or so ago, they donated a washer to the Terrell Animal  Adoption Center. I love the back doors.  I edited the picture with Corel Paint Shop Pro. 

Something completely different

A break for a day or two from sports.

It looks like waves of clouds rolling in.

Putting basketball behind us

Its time for baseball season, but one more basketball picture.  I don't think #11 will be sending a valentine to #44 the shooter anytime soon.

End of the season

Last night the Tigers ended their basketball season with a loss to West Mesquite on Senior night.

Passing through

Kidd Springs Park

Kidd Springs Park in Dallas.  This is the park that hosted the Dash for Beads run.  

Dash for Beads

Yesterday was the Dash for Beads 5K in the Bishop Arts District of Dallas.  I heard it the course was hard, lots of hills.  They were right, this was a hard run.  But I'd do it again next year.  Dog owners were encouraged to bring their pooches, the race benefited Fidoakcliff

Practice makes perfect

The Tigers baseball team continues to practice. The have a scrimmage today and another on Monday night.
