GOD first...Heavenly Father, many of us ask for forgiveness for the sins we have committed in hopes that it will be forgiven by Your Amazing Grace and the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ. We are secure in knowing we are promised forgiveness through the words in many bible verses. Lord, encourage us in learning more about our salvation through Jesus Crist as we pray in His name. Amen. 09/11/2024 08:34 PM

Eliminating property taxes would require massive funding

Eliminating property taxes would require massive funding

Eliminating the state’s property taxes is high on the wish list of some Republican lawmakers. They received a reality check last week when state budget officials said doing so would require the state to produce $81 billion each year to cover the costs of public schools, as well as the revenue now received by cities, counties and special taxing districts through property taxes. 09/11/2024 08:34 PM

Wildcats get first win at home

On Friday, Sept. 6 the Yorktown Wildcats had their first home debut, playing against the Banquette Bulldogs. It wasn’t the start the Wildcats were looking for, as the Bulldogs scored on the opening kickoff, but it was the finish that mattered the most. Yorktown beat Banquette, 34-14 and currently have a 1-1 record. “The one consistent constant between last week and this week is how they fought. They fought hard last week and this week, for four quarters in both games. This game we executed better. I know it didn't start off that way in the first quarter, but they showed resilience. I think they learned alot from last week,” stated Head Coach Ryan Knostman. Their opponents seemed to have all the luck, initially. After returning the opening kickoff Banquette even managed to score two points off of the blocked extra point. Only sixteen seconds had ticked off the clock and Yorktown found themselves trailing, 8-0. The Wildcats responded well. With Daylon Meyer and McKenzie Medina back to return, Banquette tried to onside kick. It did not go far enough and gave possession to the Wildcats on the 49 yard line. Brody Metting would score on the second play, scampering down the right side line. Kason Sullivan added on the extra point, 7-8. 11:04 still remained in the first quarter, and both teams had already found the endzone in this offensive showcase. The Bulldogs took a six yard loss on their first play but on second down with 16 yards needed they managed to find the endzone. They would attempt a two point conversion but were stopped with a tackle by Rylan Rau, 7-14. The Wildcats trailed by one, 13-14 when they had a big defensive stop. After the Wildcats fumbled during a pitch to the running back, Banquette had the ball on the 47 yard line, however Richard Flores made a tackle bringing on fourth down. The opponent went around the end when Ethan Fitts and Matthew Olguin knocked him out of bounds and the ball went over on downs to the Wildcats. Yorktown moved into the red zone but missed the field goal. With 5:16 remaining in the half, Banquette fumbled on the 35 yard line. Metting would scramble for a 54 yard touchdown to give the Wildcats the lead. Sullivan tacked on the extra point, 20-14. During the Bulldogs next possession a series of back to back penalties forced them to punt. Metting would perform his signature move, bolting up the middle before scrambling down the sideline, to the 19 yard line. After connecting with Olguin, quarterback Metting carried the ball four yards into the endzone, 26-14. This time the defensive playmaker was Adam Serbin as he sacked the quarterback for a three yard loss. 4:16 remained in the game when Brayden Knostman handed the ball off to running back Garrett Menn who rushed for eight yards and a touchdown. Sullivan’s extra point attempt sailed through the uprights, ending the scoring of the night, 34-14. 09/11/2024 08:34 PM

Gobblers bounce back against Bears

Gobblers bounce back against Bears

With last week’s game behind them, the Gobblers traveled to La Vernia to take on the Bears. “It’s on to the next one for us. We understand what type of team we just played and what kind of game we just played. We just gotta have a short-term memory and just use it for what it is and get ready for the next,” said receiver coach, Tre’Vontae Hights, entering Friday night’s contest. He added, “I think we can be a lot better protecting the ball and executing in the redzone” The Gobblers offense was much more efficient Friday night, finishing the night with over 300 yards total offense, 5 touchdowns, and 0 turnovers, while defeating the La Vernia Bears 3528. The Gobblers defense came out strong, with sacks from Aiden Stafford and Kason Roy, to go along with fumble recoveries by Roy and Barrett Smith on the 1st three Bear possessions. The second Bear turnover, from inside their own 10, set up the Gobblers’ first score of the night, a 2 yard plunge from Jace Gamez. 09/11/2024 08:34 PM
