Monitor Staff Reports
KEMP–Seniors Eric Sparks and Kate Donovan
were named as the male and female “Athletes of the Year” at
the annual Kemp High School All-Sports Banquet Friday.
The gathering at the KHS Cafetorium heard there wasn’t much
question over who should be the female athlete, as Donovan
advanced to state competition in both cross country and
track, and received team MVP awards in both sports.
Sparks started at multiple positions on the Yellowjacket
football team, and ran both the 800 meter and 1600 meter
runs on the track team.
Incoming athletic director Greg Anderson told the gathering
he had visited both boys’ and girls’ workouts during the
past week, and was looking forward to beginning his tenure
full-time June 1. |

GREENVILLE–In a first-round Texas United Football League
playoff contest, the Texas Xtreme semi-professional football team
defeated the host Greenville Oilers 8-0 Saturday night.
Now 10-2 on the season, the Xtreme will travel to Fort Worth Saturday,
May 26, to take on the 10-1 Fort Worth Avengers. The Oilers completed
their season with an 8-3 record.
Despite missing seven starters, as well as their kicker, Xtreme owners
and coaches Gary Craig and Larry Anding were pleased with the win over
the Oilers, a long-time bitter rival.
Although the Xtreme defense gave up 130 yards on five plays, it also
collected five interceptions.
The Oilers completed 4-of-11 passes for 71 yards and gained 70 rushing
yards on 19 carries for a game total of 141 yards and five first downs.
Defensive standouts included Jason Anding (a blocked punt and one forced
fumble), while Dontay Richardson, Marvin Hopkins, Chris Jacinto and
Kailan Vinson all notched interceptions.
Other defensive contributors were Kerry Yarbrough, Montez Wade, Allen
Beasley and Allen Stallings, playing his first game in more than a full
season.
The Xtreme’s offensive performance was marred by five interceptions,
four of them coming inside the Oilers’ 20.
For the second consecutive game, running back Brandon Thompson and
cornerback Clint Condo split the quarterbacking duties.
The Xtreme offense logged 16 first downs, completed 9-of-26 passes for
171 yards, and gained 158 rushing yards on 25 carries for a total of 329
yards.
The game’s only score came when Thompson completed a two-yard pass to
Larry Scott, and then added a two-point conversion run. Thompson also
added 82 rushing yards on nine carries.
Larry Scott caught three passes for 71 yards, and also stepped in at
punter, averaging 42 yards on four punts.
Marvin Hopkins gained 66 yards on four catches and Eric Wren chipped in
47 rushing yards on nine carries.
