Perry Bryan Wheeler, age 83, of Archer City, passed away Thursday, May 16, 2024, in Hamilton Hospital in Olney. Services were held at 10 a.m.

A true David versus Goliath tale took place in a bestof three series on Thursday, May 16 and Saturday, May 18, as the Archer City Lady Cats led by first-year head coach Kent Kyle and the #2 ranked Riesel Lady Indians battled at Stephenville High School.

For the third season in a row, the Holliday Eagles met the Brock Eagles in the Regional Quarterfinal round in baseball.

Game 2 of the series started very similar to Game 1, as Holliday once again scored the first run of the game after third baseman Rylan Hutchins knocked in fellow infielder Parker Jones for a two-out RBI-single.

On Wednesday, May 15, the Windthorst City Council held a special meeting for citizens to voice their concerns and ask questions to a Texas Department of Transportation employee on how the agency plans to make Highway 281 safer in general.

Holliday athletes sign NLIs

By Landon Davis The Archer City High School tennis teams competed at the Regional Tennis meet at Richland Tennis Center in North Richland Hills from May 8 to May 9. Although no athletes moved on to state, multiple teams did finish near the top of their respective brackets.

Alyssa Schroeder committed the sole error in Addie Canada’s no hit performance on the first pitch of the contest on Friday, May 10, in Graham. However, redemption for the error came in the bottom of the fourth when she drove a pitch deep into left field to score Canada on a sacrifice fly.
