The Archer Public Library is now open after two months of renovations. The renovation was possible due to the support of The Tocker Foundation, The Priddy Foundation, The Royal C. Bingo Kinder Fund Wichita Falls Area Community Foundation, Affordable Texas Movers and library volunteers.

Peaster was fed up with Holliday. Since 2020, the two schools have met six times across the various UIL girl’s postseasons, and each time, Holliday has been ever-so-slightly better than the Lady Greyhounds – sometimes by the slimmest of margins.

Following a sluggish start in its Bi-District match against DeLeon, Windthorst head coach Allison Bussey challenged her team to eliminate some of the errors that plagued them in its next round.

Holliday senior quarterback Grant Cox threw for five touchdowns and added a pair of TD runs to lead the seventh-ranked Eagles (9-1, 5-0) to a 48-20 dismantling of Callisburg (5-5, 2-3) on Friday.
