Timpson tramples Waskom

Body
The Timpson Bears traveled to Waskom last Friday night and delivered a 6312 beating to the Wildcats. Timpson has had no problem punching above their 2A Division I weight class this year. Earlier this season they faced off against the Jefferson Bulldogs who are a 3A Division I school, and last week the Bears had a matchup with the Daingerfield Tigers who, like Waskom, are a 3A Division II school. Despite the smaller pool of studentathletes to pull from, Timpson has overcome their opponents with a deep well of talent.

GARZILLA

Body
The Great Outdoors Art Weston of Union, Kentucky has tangled with plenty of trophy class alligator gar over the years, but none to compare with the piscatorial titan that came calling about mid-morning on September 2 as he and Kirk Kirkland waited patiently for some action at the upper reaches of Sam Rayburn Reservoir. Weston, 52, is an adrenaline junkie and record chaser who lives for the big bite.
