Kilgore's Todd House gets ready to round first base at Driller Park, in his last game as a Bulldog. House was one of five seniors for KHS this season: Jordan Pierce, Cade Henry, Tate Truman, and Aiden Domorad are the other four. House had two hits, a single and a double, but the Bulldogs lost, 6-0. Kilgore's senior class, though, never missed the playoffs. (Photo by DENNIS JACOBS - ETBLITZ.COM)

Kilgore's Braydon Nelson (above) in thought before competing in the shot put at the UIL Region III Meet at Bullard. Nelson won his third Whataburger / ETBlitz.com Boys Player of the Week, a record, as he's setting all kinds of records this year. Nelson is headed to the state track meet in both the shot and the discus. He's joined this week by Tatum golfer Hannah Marcott (below, with her teammates). Hannah was the low scorer for the Eagles, who qualified for the Class 3A state golf tournament at ShadowGlen Golf Club on May 6-7 in Manor.
