News From Cherokee ISD

It’s been another great week here at Cherokee ISD! Our varsity girls competed in Lometa to run cross country. Maycie Shanklin, Skylar Harris, Lauren Roberson, Payton Hanley, and Olivia Ziehr represented Cherokee High School and placed 2nd at the meet as a team. Hanley placed 5th while Roberson placed 10th. They received medals. For the varsity boys, James Beck medaled in 7th place. They will compete in San Saba this week.

Our football teams fared better this week as they took on the Gustine Tigers. Our junior high team was victorious with a score of 57-18. Varsity followed suit with another win. Gunner Baugh scored four touchdowns. Coach White commented, “Erick Miller played a big role on defense. Joel Valdez had two interceptions and returned one for a touchdown. Rode Ligon, Kase Bordner, and Isaac Graves also had key roles.” The Indians ended the game with a final score of 66-18.
