Whitehouse Varsity Football Team

Wildcats hope to advance deep into State playoffsBY DON TREULEditor

Head football coach Randy McFarlin may be in his nal season as mentor for the White-house Wildcats.

The Whitehouse Inde-pendent School District administration did not renew McFarlin’s con-tract past the 2012 sea-son so he said he is going to focus on teaching the team how to play football and worry about what happens after that when the time comes.

The Wildcats did ad-vance to the State play-offs in 2011, but they were defeated in the rst round. Behind an All-State quarterback and equally talented receiv-ers, Whitehouse posted high scores in last year’s games. Unfortunately, a poor defense allowed op-ponents to score as many or more points, handing the Wildcats a 5-6 record (including 5-2 in district).

McFarlin said he will work hard to strengthen the defense and get a run-ning game going. White-house relied on a very strong passing game the past three seasons, but most players who provid-ed that aerial punch are gone. Returning to the lineup, however, is senior receiver Dylan Cantrell, who has committed to playing college football at Texas Tech follow-ing graduation. Cantrell snagged 87 passes for

21 touchdowns and more than 1,400 yards.

McFarlin had two outstanding prospects to take the reins as the new signal-caller for the team, including Pat-rick Mahomes and Ryan Cheatham. Both are long-time friends and are outstanding baseball players and all-around athletes.

Whitehouse also will rely on a more seasoned offensive line that could include Caleb Bowman, Kyle Battles, Zach Con-erly, Austin Dickerson, Keagan Smith and McK-enlee Smith. Defensive-ly, Aaron Clemons, Will Thomas, Brannon Beaton and Matt Gibson will an-chor the defensive line, Coleman Patterson could pace the defensive back- eld, and Derek Clemons

is a likely starter in the linebacker corps.

Whitehouse scrim-maged Gilmer Aug. 17, and will scrimmage at

Mt. Pleasant Friday, Aug. 24. The regular season will start Friday, Aug. 31, when the Wild-cats host Hallsville. They play Chapel Hill at Rose Stadium Friday, Sept. 7, and Homecoming is scheduled for Friday, Sept. 14. The Wildcats will host Sulphur Springs for Homecoming.

Whitehouse will be at Marshall Friday, Sept. 21, and will host Carthage Friday, Sept. 28, before an open week Oct. 5.

District 16-4A compe-tition will begin for the Wildcats Friday, Oct. 12, when they host Lindale. After a district game at Jacksonville on Friday, Oct. 19, Whitehouse will play back-to-back home games with Nacogdo-ches on Friday, Oct. 26, and Corsicana on Friday, Nov. 2. The regular sea-son will end Friday, Nov. 9, when the Wildcats play at John Tyler.

District title, State playoffs goal for Ladycats

Leader Staff Photo/Don Treul


BY DON TREULEditor

It is good to start a season with the all-Dis-trict Co-Blocker of the Year as the anchor of the volleyball team.

Head coach Brittney Nordin’s 2012 varsity squad will feature Fu-lani Petties, who is one of three seniors on the team and earned All-District superlatives last year.

The Ladycats nished with a 25-13 record in 2011, good for third place in a strong district, and fell in the bi-district round of the playoffs, and Whitehouse posted 23 victories in 2010, so the 2012 squad has an out-standing legacy on which to build.

“Our season has start-ed off well,” Nordin said. This team has a lot of heart and play hard. We are a young team return-ing only two from varsity last year but I am excit-ed about this group and their intensity on the court.”

The Ladycats scrim-maged Carthage and Chapel Hill earlier this month, and they hosted New Diana and Pittsburg

to open the 2012 season. All three teams posted a 2-0 mark in the dual with Pittsburg and new Diana. The varsity beat Pittsburg 25-10, 25-10, 25-10 with Petties lead-ing in kills with 12 and Angela Knight added 14

assists to the team total. In the match with New Diana, the varsity fought back from being down 0-2 (22-25, 23-25) to win the next three games 25-18, 25-23, 16-14. Petties led the team again with 21 kills and Knight post-

ed 26 assist.Whitehouse also

played in the Carthage Tournament Aug. 16-18. The Ladycats will host Longview and Texas High in a dual match Tuesday, Aug. 28, followed by a trip to Tyler for the Tyler

Tournament. Troup, the White Oak Tournament, Pleasant Grove and Pine Tree are on the schedule before the Ladycats be-gin District 16-4A com-petition.

Whitehouse will start district play on the road at Nacogdoches Friday, Sept. 21. That match will

be followed by Lindale, Corsicana, Jacksonville and John Tyler. The La-dycats will start the sec-ond round of district com-petition when they host Nacogdoches Tuesday, Oct. 9, and will complete the regular season host-ing John Tyler Tuesday, Oct. 23.

The Tigers got a taste of the State playoffs in 2011 and would like to feast on a playoff run in 2012.

To help Troup accom-plish that goal, new head

coach Dennis Alexander hopes to guide the Tigers to another successful season.

Alexander was select-ed to replace former head coach Chuck Grif n, who left to coach in Florida. Alexander has 40 years experience in coaching, including State champi-

onships at Dainger eld in 1983 and 1985. He moved to Troup after 10 years as head coach at Harleton, and he has a 323-126-11 lifetime re-cord one of best records in Texas football history.

Alexander will have to nd a new quarter-back but senior run-

ningback Seth Gibson, a real workhorse in 2011, should provide some of-fensive sparks. Gibson had 179 carries for more than 1,500 yards and 14 touchdowns. The Tigers will feature a stout offen-sive line that will include

Head coach Arden Johnson had more se-niors on the 2011 Troup volleyball squad, but she feels the 2012 squad with only two seniors, includ-ing middle hitter Wykina Caldwell and outside hit-ter and setter Hunter Jordan.

The Lady Tigers post-ed a 12-24 record in 2011 and nished third in the district. Coach Johnson said her 2012 squad has higher goals, including the State playoffs.

“We’re young but we have real good athletes,” Johnson said. “We should have a real good year.”

Johnson said she was con dent the Lady Tigers would reach the playoffs and she would be dis-appointed if the team doesn’t go deep into the playoffs.

Joining her seniors will be junior Bethany Mason, a defensive specialists, and sophomore outside hitter Josee Ross.

The Lady Tigers scrim-

maged Tatum and Halls-ville, and they started the 2012 season hosting a dual meet with Hender-son and Grace Tuesday, Aug. 14. Troup played

Tigers hope to achieve expectations in 2012BY DON TREULEditor


Arp fans expect the Tigers to advance into

the State playoff every football season. The Ti-gers did not disappoint their fans in 2011 and if predictions are ful lled,

Arp fans will not be dis-appointed in 2012.

Head coach Dale Irwin has been very successful at Arp, which posted a 10-3 record last year and advanced to the regional round of the playoffs.

With ve offensive starters and four defen-sive starters, Irwin will have a strong and expe-rienced core to work with this season. The offense will start with Mikechell (Mike) Potts, who rushed for 13 touchdowns and more than 800 yards last season. Potts will rely on the experience of offensive linemen Ma-son Bobbitt, Cory Ayers,

The 2012 Arp Tigers coaches include, front row (left to right), George Greer, Chris Stewart, Dale Irwin (Athletic Director, Head Coach), Adam Chandler and J.R. Tatum; and back row (left to right), Jonny Louvier, Chris Broyles, Shannon Arrington, Drew Bennett, Winston Butler NS Erin Bolin (Athletic Trainer).

Brandon Perez and Dim-itri Bowie.

Quarterbacks Michael Roberson and Chase Bonner are the likely candidates to replace Kyle Copeland, who graduated last spring. Roberson was an excel-lent receiver last year, but his bigger contribu-tion was on the other side of the ball where he posted 96 tackles, seven interceptions and scored a pair of defensive TDs.

John Hawkins also played on both sides of the ball, including some at runningback. As a linebacker, he had 75 tackles and two inter-

ceptions last year. Marcalas Johnson

likely will help Potts in the offensive back eld, and Jeremy Shelton and Sam Stroupe will be stout at the offensive ends.

The Tigers scrim-maged at Van Satur-day, Aug. 18, and were scheduled to scrimmage at Waskom Thursday, Aug. 23. The 2012 regu-lar season will start with Arp at Tatum Friday, Aug. 31. The Tigers will host Paul Pewett (picked as one of the preseason favorites to win District 9-2A (Division II), Fri-day, Sept. 7. Arp will play

at Elysan Fields Friday, Sept. 14, and will host back-to-back games with Troup on Friday, Sept. 21, and with Garrison on Friday, Sept. 28, to start District 10-2A (Division II) competition.

The Tigers will play at West Rusk to resume district play Friday, Oct. 5, and will host Frank-ston Friday, Oct. 12. Arp will play at Union Grove Friday, Oct. 19, before an open date Friday, Oct. 26.

Arp will host Hawk-ins Friday, Nov. 2, and will conclude the regular season Friday, Nov. 9, at Winona.

Lady Tigers hope to continue tradition

The 2011 Arp volley-ball team was loaded with seniors, includ-ing the District Most Valuable Player, Alexia Faraimo.

Only two starters re-turn to the 2012 squad, including Sheyenne Atchley and Lauren Lit-tle eld. However, head coach Leigh Ann Roberts seems to be able to get the most out of her teams.

Roberts recorded her 700th victory as a head coach during the 2011 season. While 700 wins is a milestone, Roberts credited the hard work of her players during her 28 years as the Arp head coach.

“It was very special. But it’s not about me, it’s about the kids,” Roberts said after posting her milestone victory.

Roberts and her teams expect to reach 20 or 25 victories every season and this year’s squad likely will achieve that goal.

Roberts schedules play with larger schools in scrimmages and pre-district matches, so the girls are prepared with district competition be-gins.

The Arp lady Tigers usually keep up with the larger schools posting heir share match victo-ries. Following scrim-ages with Lindale and Robert E. Lee (Class-5A), Arp played a dual match with Henderson and Kil-gor tostart the regular season. Tournaments in 2012 will include Van, Marshall and Tyler, and the Lady Tigers will start district competi-tion Tuesday, Sept. 7, at Hawkins. Other dis-trict matches include, in

order, West Rusk, Win-ona, Frankston, Troup, Harmony and Sabine. Arp will start the sec-ond round of the district schedule when the Lady Tigers host Hawkins Tuesday, Oct. 2.

Arp will next play a home match when the Lady Tigers host Grace and New Diana in a dual match Tuesday, Aug. 28. Arp will not host another match until they host West Rusk in loop com-petition Tuesday, Sept. 11. In addition to Atchley and Little eld, Roberts will rely on the talent of Mikala Frost, Alicia Summers, Jessica Dan-iel, Megan Campbell, Rebecca Daniel, Taylor Burnett, Bailey Clary, Kaci Kuykendall, Kay-leigh Moore and Tinikia Lacy.

Bethany Gray and Sara Sarica are the team managers.
