Kitty Kats improve to 9-5
The Yorktown Kitty Kat Varsity basketball team played five games this past week, winning two. On Tuesday, December 3, 2024, the Kitty Kats traveled to Tilden to take on the McMullen County Cowgirls, ranked #17 in the TABC Class A polls. Yorktown jumped out to an early lead, but the Cowgirls bounced back to take a 15-12 lead at the end of the first quarter before extending their lead to 3325 at halftime. In the second half, the Kitty Kats were able to cut the lead to 35-34, but that was as close as they got, as McMullen County showed why they are ranked and pulled away for a 53-42 win. Senior Nina Villarreal and freshman Palyn Koopmann led the Kitty Kats with 10 points each. Koopmann had her first career double-double, as she also pulled down 10 rebounds. Seniors Laynie Boyd and Sydnie Krueger had six rebounds apiece. The JV Kitty Kats defeated McMullen County’s JV, 24-14, for another win.

Hunt elementary students know the meaning of Thanksgiving
It was a wonderful surprise for the crew at Pet Adoptions of Cuero this month when the Hunt Elementary Student Council decided to share, care and help out the local pet shelter. The student group sponsored a pet food and shelter 'needs' drive to benefit the local non profit organization. Over 100 items were collected and the PAOC staff was delighted with the variety of donated necessities that they need and use every day to feed, clean and care for the homeless dogs and cats. Many of the students are pet owners or have adopted from Pet Adoptions of Cuero. It was easy for them to choose the best items to donate. PAOC wants to thank the students, their parents and their teachers for this much appreciated support for the shelter.

Cuero’s reputation comes up around the world
Hello my fellow Cueroites It's been a few weeks since my last message. To say I have been busy is an understatement. Velma and I took a much needed break with a 10day cruise to Central America, November 1525. We visited Cozumel, Costa Rica, Panama and Honduras. Although I enjoyed the visit to our neighbors south of us, I was reminded how blessed we are in our United States. I ran into a couple from Gonzales as we traversed the Panama Canal, which was breathtaking. Both commented on how much they love Cuero, Turkeyfest, Christmas in the Park, Cuero Christmas downtown were a few of the events we talked about. I also met a couple from Waco, and of course the Cuero Gobblers was the talk of this conversation, as Cuero has had many Cuero Gobblers play for the Baylor Bears. I am so PROUD of our Cuero Gobbler team this year. Although the season has ended, the many memories, lessons learned and representations of the City of Cuero will last a lifetime. Thank you young men, well done!!
