Firetruck push-in dates back to 1800s
COLUMBUS – In a regular display of tradition, the Columbus Volunteer Fire Department pushed its newest firefighting apparatus into its bay at the CVFD fire station on May 13. This is a practice that firefighters follow with every new truck, sparking curiosity as to why they don’t just back it in, considering it does, hopefully, have an engine.

Columbus softball advances to regional semifinal
The Columbus High School softball team is making another deep run in the postseason as they defeated Jourdanton High School in a three game series to make it to the regional semifinal game, where they will face off against Lyford High School. This has been the norm for the Lady Cardinals for at least the past few years as they possess athletes and coaches who know how to win when it matters most. In Alfred Rosa's second year as head coach, he's kept the program in great hands with yet another reasonable shot at the state tournament.

Schulenburg baseball falls to Kenedy despite late comeback
MARION - The Schulenburg High School baseball team went down in an area playoff matchup to Kenedy High School May 11 at Bulldogs Field in Marion by a final score of 11-7. The game was postponed until the next day due to storms and Schulenburg was able to gain some momentum, but Kenedy scraped up a few more runs down the stretch to come out on top. "It was one of those things when lightning blows in, it went in our favor," said Schulenburg head baseball coach Isaiah Barrera. "Just because we didn't have the momentum on Thursday. Lightning struck, we just had to go to the next day and ended up coming back and overcoming it a little bit. It carried into Saturday." Kenedy took a 6-0 lead going into the top of the third inning and threatened to score more in their next at bat with a bases loaded jam after Schulenburg's Bryce Stoever came into pitch that was maintained by the Shorthorns with an out by fielder's choice and fly out to right field to keep the score at 6-0. Kenedy didn't add to the tally again until the top of the fifth inning when they hit a double down the left field line that scored a run after a base hit. Schulenburg was able to get on base in the next inning with a hit down the left filed line, but the game was called due to lightning and heavy storms. The game resumed Saturday and Schulenburg put forth a nice rally, but Kenedy's run support in the final innings won them the game at 11-7.

Flatonia making nice run in baseball
Bulldogs baseball is on the cusp of a state title run this year with division one talent and a program that has been in this position before. Flatonia found themselves in the playoffs last year as well with players such as Texas A&M baseball commit Titan Targac. The lefty can throw it hard with movement, locate his pitches, and also gets the job done at the plate with his bat. Targac can throw high heat but his off speed pitches are his bread and butter as he puts ton of movement on his curve ball to keep hitters off balance. He can also blow it by with his fast ball, likely reaching somewhere in the mid to upper 80's and maybe even the 90 mile per hour range.

Fayetteville whomps Medina by mercy rule in area playoff
WIMBERLEY – Fayetteville baseball took on Medina High School May 10 and won handedly by a final score of 18-0 at Wimberley ISD Fields in an area playoff bout. The Lions had the bats going for the entire game and didn't allow anything on defense and at the mound. "On the pitching, our game plan coming in was to have Jack go and then Chance. Get him an inning and Keagan an inning. They all pitched really well. It looks good going forward from here. We played excellent defense. I don't know if we had an error. We made some good plays. Hitting wise, we talked about being right off the bat. The top of the first inning, let's show we're the better team and we did. Kudos to our guys, they did a really good job at the plate being disciplined and taking what they give us." Sophomore pitcher Jack Schley started the game and pitched three strong innings while connecting with his bat also. "I think it's great everything's falling in line during this time of year," Schley said. "Our bats are hot right now, our pitching's great, we're all finding the zone well. With that type of playing, hitting well and pitching well, we'll be a tough team to beat." Fayetteville took a 5-0 advantage in the top of the second inning and added to their lead with a base hit to left field from Schley to drive in a run and make it 6-0. Schley then advanced to third on a pass ball before being driven in by Chance Konvicka on a sacrifice fly to centerfield, putting it at 7-0. Medina struggled to get the ball across the plate in the Lions' following at bat and Fayetteville took advantage by scoring a few runs on a bunch of pass balls to take a 9-0 lead in the very next inning.
