In a few weeks, the last bell will ring forthe 2011-2012 school year. Most studentswill rush out the door, while some will lingerto say “Good Bye” to close friends and teach-ers. Parents will anxiously await their arrivalhome for the summer break. Vacation attrac-tions will look forward to the increase in theirrevenue stream. The summer has started.Will you be ready?
There are numerous ways your child canspend the summer vacation hours. The mostmeaningful require preparation and planning.Now is the time to start doing just that. And,you can start with your child’s school. Areyou ready?
Begin by asking your child’s teachersabout summer activities that will help en-hance what has been learned this year. Re-quest the Dallas ISD Summer Reading list.Check with the school’s Physical Educationteacher about summer sports options to sup-port physical activity. Have you checked?
Dallas ISD will operate various grade leveloptions over the summer. These will includethe standard remedial courses for those whowere not fully successful during the regularschool year. Other opportunities will beavailable for students who want to get aheadon course work for 2012-2013. Specialclasses will be offered for children with in-terests in such areas as theatrical arts, dance,
chess, orchestra, foreign languages, and sci-ence discovery. Which will you choose foryour child?
Dallas and other surrounding municipali-ties will offer a long list of activities to keepyour child engaged. Look for those whichprovide an educational component, not justentertainment. Call 311 to ask what the Cityof Dallas will offer.
Some area zoos, museums, cultural cen-ters, and art galleries will provide summercamps at no, or a minimal cost. Each willhost a FREE admission day. And, every Dal-las ISD student will receive a free ticket for
a summer day at the Dallas Zoo. To whichwill you take your child?
Going to the library is always a greatchoice. Students can log into online sites forsummer learning and fun. High school stu-dents can practice the ACT and other stan-dardized tests. They can also sign up for theMayor’s Summer Reading Program in May.Student participants who read the requiredhours are eligible to win such prizes as ticketsto baseball games and the circus. Check yourneighborhood library for more informationand to register your child. Experts haveproven that a child who continues to readover the summer months will retain more ofwhat has been learned than one who does notread. Will you read with your child? Doesyour child have a home library? Readingcould help your child dream beyond Dallas,Texas.
In District 5, John Neely Bryan Elemen-tary School and Kennedy-Curry MiddleSchool will house the traditional summerschool classes on Monday – Thursday, June11- July 12, 8 a.m. – noon.
W. W. Bushman Elementary School willhouse the elementary Thriving Minds Learn-ing. Classes will run weekdays June 11-July13, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., combining fun, hands-on activities in the arts and lessons in subjectslike math and language arts.

Activities will include sports, crafts,nature studies, life skills development, andfield trips. Call 214-671-1490 for more in-formation.
Remember to check community service or-ganizations such as the Girls and Boys Clubs,the YMCA and YWCA and Girls, Inc. Talkto the churches, as well as local businessesthat may sponsor camps. And, keep an eyeout for camp offerings from area sports or-ganizations.
The key is to keep your children mentallyand physically engaged, not just entertainedall summer. Help them avoid the dreaded“summer learning loss” by helping them lo-cate ways to expand their minds and movetheir bodies in the home, in the community,in a class or at a summer camp.

Most recently many of us celebrated Mother’sDay. Some took their mothers to restaurants, tochurches and to movies. Others gave their moth-ers flowers, lovely cards and jewelry. OnMother’s Day we are reminded how im-portant a mother’s love is, and alwayswill be.
This Mother’s Day, my mother, endedup in the hospital. She grew ill after hav-ing a Mother’s Day meal with one of herchildren. In the past few days mymother’s children have stood vigil byher bedside, praying for her full and fora full and complete recovery. We have commu-nicated to her how much we love her and appre-ciate everything that she has done for us in ourlives.
Mother taught all of her children some veryvaluable lessons. She taught us the value of hardwork while she ran and owned a successfulcatering business that all of us worked in andaround. She taught us that she loved us, throughher deeds and her actions.
All of mother’s children are now grown adults
and have children of their own. We have allraised our children just as our mother raised us,with a sense of deep devotion and unrelentingtenderness. Mother taught to love one anotherand to respect one another. We, in turn, havetried to instill those life lessons in our children.
When a child sees a mother ill or in a hospitalbed, as I and my siblings have recently, they ap-preciate more fully each day that God has given
them together. They recall the timeswhen they were small children andcried when a finger or leg wasbleeding. It was mother who ap-plied the first bandaid. It was motherwho wiped away the very first tears.
I speak as a witness when I saythat a mother’s love is a preciouslove. A mother’s love is a love thatcannot be quantified. It is control-
ling and at the same time it is liberating.I pray to have many more Mothers’ Days with
my mother. I grant that God will give us yearstogether in abundance. It is also my prayer thatGod will do the same for you and for yourmother. Celebrate her each day of the year withthe love she has demonstrated and has earned.
Every day must be celebrated just as we cele-brate the hours of the day we have come to callMother’s Day. Each second must be sacred, justas our mothers are sacred.

Minister of the Week Student of the Week
My late son,Randy, was a proudmember of the DallasCounty SchoolBoard. He workedhard to see to it thatall of the County’schildren received adecent education andwere being preparedfor the futures that
were awaiting them.Randy believed that education was a great
equalizer and that a society has a responsibilityto educate its young.
Many of his nieces and nephews will tellyou that there was seldom a graduation in theBlair family that “Uncle Randy” missed. Hewas always present and always very happy tosee young people being prepared for the fu-ture.
One of the things that would not have madeRandy too happy or pleased is the decisivelylow turnout in our recent elections for schoolboard positions, particularly in the city of Dal-las where Randy had a special interest.
In the past election it was possible for a can-didate to receive only 2,000 votes and beelected to a full term on the school board. Thisis not fair to our school children, our parentsand it is also not fair to the men and womenwho took the time to run for office.
Voters cannot say that they did not knowabout the election. Signs supporting variouscandidates have been on our street corners andin our yards for week and even months.
Some of them spent thousands of dollars toparticipate in the process. The candidatescalled the homes of voters and left pamphletsin the doors of their homes.
It will not be long before something goesterribly wrong in one of our schools involvingour children. I can hear the outcry now fromparents about the “problems” in our schools.Those same parents, when they go to makethose charges, need to look in the mirrors intheir homes, to see a major part of what con-tributed to “the problems.”
We do not have to pay a fee to vote in ourelections. The days of the poll taxes are longgone. Voting is absolutely free.
It only takes an educated voter and a will-ingness to sacrifice the few minutes that votingrequires.
If our children are to be educated, and if therecently hired school superintendent in Dallasis to be successful, all of us must participate inthe learning process.
We cannot afford to sit at home and com-plain about the heat or the “long lines” in thevoting precincts.
In the last election, there were no long lines.But even if they were long, our citizens mustinvolve themselves in the process. If we con-tinue to be lethargic and stay at home when thefutures of our children are being decided, wehave no right to complain when and if thingsgo badly.
we can onlyblame ourselves

Do you feel unappreciated at times in ChurchMinistry? Do you hear other’s names calledmore often than yours? Do accolades ringssupreme for some, when other’s work seems togo unnoticed? Fear not!
God’s Word says, “Therefore, my dear broth-ers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Alwaysgive yourselves fully to the work of the Lord,because you know that your labor in the Lord isnot in vain.” 1 Corinthians 15:58. We must re-member, God sees, knows and cares.
We quickly glorify and shower shouts ofpraise for our “Seasonal Workers.” These facil-itators that will comes along in a great while,usually once or every three or four years and doexciting things.
Granted, they are apt to do outstanding work,and rightfully deserve the compliments they re-ceive. It is a lot easier for workers to be full ofenergy and enthusiasm, when they are fullyaware that their special initiative will soon end,than that of a worker who has to make importantdecisions 24/7.
You might wonder – what in the world is shetalking about? Anyone who has been in min-istry for any length of time can tell you that youthis – there are seasons where things will runsmooth and sail along just fine, and then thereare seasons that are hectic and crazy. Perhapsyou are someone who spends a great deal oftime trying to provide your ministry with thevery best content possible.
You pray, motivate, congregate, stimulateand innovate, trying to make sure every detail,great or small is handle from day to day, weekto week, month to month, and year to year inproper order.
Yet, it the overall response received is onewhich leaves you feeling, for the most part,what you've done was in vain and not appreci-ated.
Granted, a few people may let you know thatthey appreciate your service. However, for the
most part, there is silence. It is so easy to bemurdered by silence. The ones that should beaware of your contributions never mumble aword. This can be quite discouraging, especiallyif you give 110% of yourself at what you do.
I write to those who serve behind the scenesin a ministry. Those unsung heroes! You workfaithfully and diligently, yet the glory goes toanother.
Your efforts make someone else successfuland your contributions are often forgotten. Howeasy to feel resentful!
Assistant directors, associate and assistantpastors, secretaries, administrators, "internalpersonnel," take heart! Our God who rewards insecret will never overlook your commitment.
“For God is not unjust so as to forget yourwork and the love which you have shown to-ward His name, in having ministered and in stillministering to the saints.” (Hebrews 6:10)
A great verse for those of us who feel usedand unappreciated.
Sometimes it’s doubtful that you are not ap-preciated, but the ones that should know of yourwork have a strange way of showing it. A fa-mous line goes; Half of the battle is knowingsomeone cares.

Dear Dr. Hollie,My house is being foreclosed on. I am currentlyunemployed and trying to take care of my fourchildren. A friend of mine told me once they fore-close it takes a few months for them to actuallyevict you and that I should stay in the house freeof charge in the meantime. It will give me achance to find a new job and somewhere else tolive. I told this to a church member of mine, andthey think that it is immoral. I don’t have any-where else to go and a couple of months could re-ally help my situation. What do you think? Is itwrong to stay after the bank has foreclosed onme?
Sinner or Opportunist?
Dear Sinner or Opportunist,i regret that i am not familiar with the fore-closure process; therefore, i am not aware ofyour rights. the first thing you need to do iscontact your lender and see what your optionsare. Not that you would (so many people do)please don’t destroy or vandalize the home asyou leave. i also agree that it is immoral if youstay knowing that you are violating the agree-ment.
Dr. Hollie is a Pastor and practicing psychotherapist in thecity. For questions and comments, please write to [email protected]. For therapy appointments, please call Dr.Hollie’s office at 214-393-2940.
Let me remind you that abundant living de-mands a healthy prayer life. However, there is abroader, deeper, and richer sense in whichprayer is our need. it is not only our conversa-tion with God, but also our refuge in time oftrouble, the remedy for our sins, and the cure ofour griefs. it is also the ways and means throughwhich we are able to exercise the whole duty ofman toward God and receive these necessities tothe abundant life, which our Lord has promisedus. Prayer is the summary of Christian religion.Have you ever seen a Christian that does notpray? Prayer is a means by which the Christianexpresses religion and divine worship, confessingGod’s power and mercy.
PrayerCloset
By Rev. Clarence Henderson
Luke 8:4-154While a large crowd was
gathering and people were com-ing to Jesus from town aftertown, he told this parable:
5"A farmer went out to sowhis seed. As he was scatteringthe seed, some fell along thepath; it was trampled on, and thebirds of the air ate it up.
6Some fell on rock, and whenit came up, the plants witheredbecause they had no moisture.
7Other seed fell amongthorns, which grew up with itand choked the plants.
8Still other seed fell on goodsoil. It came up and yielded acrop, a hundred times more thanwas sown."
8When he said this, he calledout, "He who has ears to hear,let him hear."9His disciplesasked him what this parablemeant.
10He said, "The knowledgeof the secrets of the kingdom ofGod has been given to you, butto others I speak in parables, sothat,10" 'though seeing, theymay not see;10though hearing,they may not understand.”
11"This is the meaning of theparable: The seed is the word ofGod.
12Those along the path arethe ones who hear, and then thedevil comes and takes away theword from their hearts, so thatthey may not believe and besaved.
13Those on the rock are the
ones who receive the word withjoy when they hear it, but theyhave no root.
They believe for a while, butin the time of testing they fallaway.
14The seed that fell amongthorns stands for those whohear, but as they go on their waythey are choked by life's wor-ries, riches and pleasures, andthey do not mature.
15But the seed on good soilstands for those with a noble andgood heart, who hear the word,retain it, and by persevering pro-duce a crop.
A Maryland farmer, raggedand barefooted, was standing onthe steps of his tumbledownshack.
A stranger stopped for a drinkof water and just to pass the timeof day he asked: "How is yourcotton coming along?" he asked."Ain’t got none," replied thefarmer. "Did you plant any?"asked the stranger. "Nope," wasthe reply, "afraid of boll wee-vils."
"Well," continued thestranger, "how is your corn?""Did not plant none," came theanswer, "’fraid there were notgoing to be no rain."
The visitor persevered:"Well, how are your potatoes?""Ain’t got none. Scairt of potatobugs." "Really, what did youplant?" pressed the stranger."Nothin’," was the calm reply, "Ijest played safe."
Why did not that farmer planthis crops? He was afraid. Hewas afraid of failure. He wasafraid of the unknown. Andmaybe he was even afraid thatthe work of planting would betoo hard for him. So, he just didnot plant anything.
There are many Christianswho won’t talk to anyone elseabout their faith (seed of Jesus).They are afraid.
They are afraid of failure andrejection. They are afraid of theunknown.
And maybe they are afraidthe work is too hard for them todo. They are unsure and afraidand so they just do not.
However, from what Jesustells us in Luke 8, Christians re-ally don’t need to be unsure andafraid. The task of casting theseed of the Gospel is not diffi-cult.
Think about it. Unlike theMaryland farmer in our illustra-tion, the farmer in Jesus’ parablewas not in the least bit troubled.Was Jesus’ farmer concernedabout where his seeds landed?Noooo he is out there throwingthe seed anywhere and every-where he could.
He did not even bother toplow up the ground (they didnot in those days). We call it “notill” farming, but the people inthat day called it “farming.”Amen!
This farmer threw the seed onthe weeds, on the foot-path be-
side his field, on shallowground, and on the rich land.The seed landed everywhere. Hewas not particular where theseed landed because farmlandwas expensive and the seed wascheap. The way farmers of thatday had it figured you put goodseed on good ground; youwould eventually get a goodcrop.
Also this farmer knew thatthe power in farming lay in thattiny little seed not in him.
A farmer did not have to beparticularly skilled to throwseed on the dirt. A three-year-old could do this! But somebodyhad to throw the seed out thereso that it would take root in thesoil.

Welcome to theweekend, Baby! Be-fore we escape to Eu-rope, our 3rd review ofinternational travel
destinations, let's look around theU.S!
Locally, Pilar Sanders gets cus-tody of the kids for the Summer andasks for 25,000 in monthly childsupport/living expenses. Deionlaughs at her assertion that he has/isworth 250 Million Dollars. Judgegives her $14,000. Looking forwardto Billboard Magazine's WhitneyHouston tribute Sunday night, fea-turing Jordin Sparks, John Legendand daughter Bobbi Kristinasinging! Showtime's 7p Central onABC-Channel 8! Five kids havebeen robbed, two at gun point in theBuckner, Scyene area of Dallas inthe last few weeks as they walkedhome from school. FYI, parents.Now, let's get outta here. Thanks forthe email on our previous columnsthis month on travel. Negril,Jamaica
and Canun/Cozumel are nice spots,but if you have the time, Europe isbecoming more affordable! Travelfares to Europe from lateSummer/early Fall have dropped$300-700 bucks recently! Accordingto www.Bestfares.com chief TomParsons, the cheapest days to travelfrom DFW to Europe are Sundaythru Thursday, returning Mondaythru Thursday. Today, we'll use Lon-don, as our base. You'd fly Dallas toLondon with a probable stop in At-lanta for a 1.5 hour layover. Say youleave at 5pm, your arrival at Lon-don's Gatwick or Heathrow Airportswill be about 11am the next day!Gatwick lies 29 miles South of Cen-tral London and Heathrow 12 milesWest. Lots of ways to get to Londonfrom the airports. My pick is theGatwick Express train, which leavesevery 15 minutes and deposits you ina half hour at Central London's Vic-toria Train Station.The Heathrow
Express train gets youthere in about 15 min-utes, buses and taxis arealso available. Once you're checkedin, the adventure starts... Visitwww.tripadvisor.com for things todo in London. Of course you'll wantto visit, Buckingham Palace, TheTower Of London, St. James Park,etc., but there's tons more to discoverdepending on your energylevel,lol...The Eurostar Express con-nects you with Paris in about 2Hrs.The 300 plus mile trips rocks alongthe rails at a clip of 186 miles perhour. So it's possible to day trip toParis, but you'll probably want tospend a couple of days, after all yacame all the way to Europe! Paris ishome to the worlds greatest art mu-seum, the Lourve beckons as do thecustomary visit to the Eiffel Tower,but don't sleep on the showgirls andnaughty fun at the Moulin Rouge,(http://www.moulinrouge.fr/index_gb.php#/revue/)hehehe.You can also take a trainfrom Paris to Rome, butwhy? Instead of a 14hour train trip, fly RyanAirlines for 300 per cou-ple roundtrip. Paris BVAor Orly airports fly in toRome's Ciampano. It alldepends on your time,dollars and travel style.To me London, Paris andRome are the must seethree for any trip to Eu-rope. Remember, his isnot your 3 day to the is-lands! Give your selfsome time to enjoy!Rome's Sistine Chapel,Coliseum and Vaticantours are not meant to berushed! I'd budget atleast a week, hopefully10 days to two weeks...Make this a grand adven-ture, take a class in
French or Italianbefore ya go. Thecitizens will ap-
preciate your attempt to speak theirlanguage and remember to be kind toall. You may have spent some cash,but it's still their country! Next weekclimaxes our month of travel withthe best cruises out of Texas! HappyBirthday to YOU and Celebs thisweek: Reggie Jackson is 66, StevieWonder 61, Grace Jones 60, SugarRay Leonard 56, Dennis Rodman51, Janet Jackson 46, Emmitt Smith43 and Tahj Mowry is 25!

This Daughter has gone and continue togo above and beyond the call of Duty as a“Daughter of God” and not only is Godpleased with her, but the Church Family istoo, and want to “give her flowers while shecan smell them.”
To show our appreciation for her goodworks, we have solicited a group of Interna-tional recording artists as well as musicalgroups to help us celebrate this crowning.

As the Early Voting period of the delayedDemocratic Primary gets underway,
Domingo Garcia—the man arguably consid-ered the Congressional District 33 frontrun-ner—received some big name support in theform of the “dean of the civil rights move-ment” Reverend Joseph E. Lowery.
Reverend Lowery announced his endorse-ment of Domingo Garcia at a communityleaders luncheon held on last week. In his re-marks he stated, "Domingo is sensible andsensitive, and more than competent andcourageous. He is the same fella’ that hasmarched for causes for the betterment of ourcommunities across Texas and our country.He is the same fella’ that worked with Rev-erend Jesse Jackson Jr. on his campaign forPresident, when it wasn't the most popularthing to do. He is a bridge builder for all peo-ple, of all colors. It's the content of characterthat matters. Domingo Garcia is the best can-didate."
Reverend Lowery traveled to the metro-plex to lend hisname and reputa-tion as a civil rightspioneer to Garcia’scampaign in thenewly-created Con-gressional District33. Making appear-ances in both Tar-rant and Dallascounties, ReverendLowery’s energyand enthusiasm forGarcia was evident.
In response toReverend Lowery’sendorsement to thecampaign, Garciaremarked, “Person-ally, it is very hum-bling. ForReverend Loweryto travel all of thisway to support me isan incredible honor.Politically, it is agame-changer forus.”
A veteran of theepic civil rightsstruggles forAfrican Americansin the 1960’s, Rev-erend Lowery andReverend Dr. Mar-tin Luther King, Jr.co-founded theSouthern ChristianLeadership Confer-ence (SCLC). Intheir many years ofstruggle, Lowery,King, and ReverendRalph Abernathywere set upon bypolice dogs, batons,fire hoses and bru-tality in their nonvi-olent pursuit ofequal rights for allAmericans.
Garcia further remarked, “I am proud to bethe only candidate running a true district-wide, coalition campaign. If we allow this tobe a Tarrant versus Dallas or Black versusHispanic campaign, we betray the legacy ofRev. Lowery and Dr. King. They fought fora colorblind society. I am committed to con-tinuing that fight.”
One person apparently disgruntled by
Lowery’s endorsement of Gar-cia? Lesser-known candidateMarc Veasey dashed off an emailquestioning Rev. Lowery’s deci-sion-making ability that struckmany as insulting.
With a laugh, Dr. Loweryreplied, "I understand that an-other candidate questionswhether or not I'm competent inmy decision to endorse DomingoGarcia. I may be viewed as se-nile by Marc Veasey, and I'msorry that he feels that way. I ama senior citizen but in no way se-nile...ask my wife what shethinks. I know who I am and Iknow why I'm here. I know his-tory and I know Domingo Garcia.I've been down this road before.
This is not a rash decision. I did my researchand made my calls on the race and the candi-dates. I boldly stand firm in my endorsementof Domingo Garcia."
Although many of the 11 Democratic can-didates vying for the brand new seat seem-ingly profess a commitment to civil rights,Garcia appears to be the only one who has a
proven record in that area.From his fight for single-member
districts for the Dallas City Councilto his passage of the “James Byrd, Jr.Hate Crimes Act,” Garcia’s willing-ness to stand up to the establishmentand irreverence for the status quo isapparently paying dividends in thiscampaign.
A state chair for the ReverendJesse Jackson’s 1984 campaign forthe Presidency, Garcia has a decades-long and strong record of pursuingcivil rights and equal rights. Garciadeclined to announce any upcomingendorsements or in-district appear-ances, stating simply, “Stay tunedand get your popcorn ready. We ex-pect a few more major endorsementsto come in before May 29th.”

The Jefferson Jackson Dinner isan annual event that honors the Ju-diciary and Elected Officials ofDallas County.
The Jefferson Jackson Sixth An-nual Dinner was held Thursday,May 10th at the Dallas Hyatt Re-gency Hotel Landmark Ballroom.This year’s mesmerizing Keynoteaddress was given by CNN’s Situ-ation Room correspondent DonnaBrazile.
The room was filled with thoseDemocratic judicial and politicalleaders who are leading the way forthis year’s election. One of thosepolitical runners in attendance wasformer City Councilman DomingoGarcia.
Domingo is one of 11 Demo-cratic candidates running for thenewly created 33rd district Con-gressional seat.
This newly-created seat stretchesfrom Fort Worth's Stockyardsthrough southeast Fort Worth and
east Arlington to Dallas' Oak Cliffneighborhood and it offers a newvoice for this community.
Domingo describes himself as afamily man, a small business manand a man of faith. His quest is toget Middle America back to workand to support President Obama’sAmerican Job Act.
If elected Domingo would focuson educating our children by hiringmore teachers. He would protectour communities by increasing orpolice force and to strengthen ourinfrastructure by employing moreconstruction workers.
He lives in the community hewishes to serve and has a vested in-terest in whom and how the com-munity is represented.
In a room of approximately 200we all listened to the Keynote ad-dress as Brazile, daughter of a jan-itor and domestic worker shared herviews on Democratic Values, as shereminded us that for the last 26months we have experienced jobgrowth under the leadership ofPresident Obama and where every-
one now has access to health care.She praised President Obama’s an-nouncement that despite his foun-dation on faith he is embracingmarriage equality.
She reminded us that GregAbbot’s stance on voting rights isanother way to place obstacles inthe path of the poor and disenfran-chised. That his position to forceeveryone to come to the polls withmore than their voting registrationcards is a way to keep the votingrights to the more affluent and giv-ing those running the polls the rightto turn away those who have theleast, his way to repeal the 1965voting rights act.
Brazile ended her address tellingus that hope is our best friend. Thatwe should care for one another, tellthe truth and defend our values.That we should remember that theTea Party agenda is there to weakenand divide us as a people. She en-couraged us that on May 29th whenwe go to the polls to use our voice,plan for victory and vote.

The DeSoto Eagles put their footprints inthe sand of Texas High School History thispast Saturday when the DeSoto Eagle Boysand Girls won the Class 5A Track and FieldChampionship.
DeSoto coach Mark Brady was in tearswhen his boy’s team won their first StateChampionship.
Coach Brady has been the track coach for31 years at DeSoto, he has had some of thenation’s top track teams, and some of the na-tions best sprinters.
He's been to the State meet before and hehas won relays, but he has never won theoverall team championship.
The relay team of Echols,Wilson, Acy andJones won the 4 x100 meter relay. The boysalso finished 2nd in the 4 x 200 meter relayand Will Stovall placed 3rd in the 800 whilesprinter Tramine Acy finished 3rd in the100meter dash.
This gave the Eagles the points they neededto win the team title. Coach Brady said hewould cry if the DeSoto boys won the Statetitle, and he did. Coach Brady hinted at thefact that he might retire after the season but Ithink he might want to hold off on that so he
can defend that title !!The DeSoto Lady Eagles turned the
State Championship into a party. TheLady Eagles won their 2nd straight titleon Saturday and proved that they are anational track power house. It took theentire track meet for the girls to get theirtitle.
It came down to the final race of theday the 4 x 400 meter relay. Senior and
Kansas State signee Tia Gamble ran the raceof her life and held off Duncanville's MikaylaHightower to keep the eagles in second placeand secured the overall team championship.DeSoto coach June Villers led her ladies intobattle once again and came out with the vic-tory. This is business as usual for the ladiesbecause they have won just about every trackmeet they have competed in the past 2 years.
DeSoto is a legitimate track power-house.The girls won by 4 points edging out astrong Garland team that finished with 46points and Mansfield Timberview with 41.
This was a great showing for the girls pro-grams in our metroplex. The boys won with58 points holding off Galena Park NorthShore who had 44 points and Mansfield Tim-berview finished third with 34 points. Garlandhigh school Lady Owls showed who had thebest relay teams in the state.
The Lady Owls won the 4 x100 meter relayand they also won the 4 x200 meter relay andtook their place in Texas Track and field his-tory. Other Class 5A winnersAbraham Hall-100 meter dash 200 meter dash AldrichBailey- 400 meter dash DeSoto 4 x100 meterrelay(boys)Duncanville 4 x400 meter relay
