Grayson County is celebrating local sports achievements as both the Tom Bean Tomcats and the Collinsville Pirates baseball teams advance to the state semifinals. The Tomcats are set to compete against New Home this Thursday at 6:00 PM at Abilene Christian University, while the Pirates are making their third consecutive appearance in the state semifinals. Additionally, the Whitesboro Bearcats softball team is poised to vie for a state title tomorrow.

During the recent government meeting, officials expressed gratitude for the hard work of county crews, particularly those who responded to emergency calls over the Memorial Day weekend. The discussion highlighted the effectiveness of the grapple truck, which has proven to be a valuable asset in managing storm-related debris, allowing for more efficient responses with fewer personnel.

Officials encouraged residents to remain weather-aware as the community continues to recover from recent storms. The meeting underscored the importance of teamwork and dedication among county workers, who often go above and beyond in service to the community. As local teams gear up for their championship matches, the spirit of community pride and resilience remains strong in Grayson County.
