This Week in Bearcat Athletics

Alumni Donate A Piece Of Bearcat Sports History To Sherman Ex-Students Museum

A piece of Bearcat History!

SHS alumni Larry Halliburton and his daughter Monica Becker have donated the 1932 State Championship Track and Field medals of his uncle and Bearcat great Lelmer Reynolds to the Sherman Ex-Students Museum. Reynolds won gold in discus and shot put in 1932 and even broke the shot put record that stood at the time. The entire Sherman High School also took home the gold as a team. Halliburton, a former coach himself, talked with SHS track and field athletes about how the sport has changed and emphasized consistency and dedication in building themselves.

The medals will be hung inside the MAC for a time before moving to the Ex-Students Museum. The Ex-Students Museum is located inside original Dillingham Junior High next to the Sherman ISD Service Center at 2701 N. Loy Lake Road. It is open Wednesdays and Fridays from noon to 3 p.m.

Tennis Players Named To All-District Lists

The Sherman High School Tennis team recently received All-District Honors for their performance on and off the court, taking home a total of 35 awards.

This group of players worked very hard from the hot days of the summer to the playoffs.

"I'm very proud of the group of young men and women and their dedication to our program," Head Coach Rodney Pilcher said. "Our record was 7-3 non-district play and 4-2 district play, placing third in the district and advancing to the playoffs. Not only did this group make the playoffs, but the entire varsity boys and girls made the All-District Academics team."
