Taylor

Thrall High School’s Tyler Bonkowski, was honored this past week as a Padilla Coaches Poll 2A-D1 1st Team All-State Tight End. This is a tremendous accomplishment and honor for the versatile junior; however, this honor goes much deeper than stats alone.

When the clock hit zero Tuesday night at the Duck Pond to signal the end of the game, the Lady Ducks found themselves with their sixth win in a row and first place in district. As the final seconds ticked off the clock, Taylor fans in attendance stood up to give the Taylor Lady Ducks a loud and passionate standing ovation.

LA GRANGE – The Taylor Ducks defeated the La Grange Leopards 53-48 Tuesday night on the road to keep themselves in the mix for the last playoff spot. The Ducks got major contributions from seniors Anthony Cottrill and Conner Cobb with junior Treos Richardson lending a helping hand as well in the winning effort.

GRANGER – The Thrall Tigerettes (21-10 overall, 6-2 District 27-2A) raced out to a 14-3 lead in the first quarter of Tuesday night’s match-up with the Granger Lady Lions (4-15, 3-6), and never looked back as they coasted to a 66-24 win.

Helping Taylor keep track of its finances can be detailed job, and the man in charge of those details will be interviewed Monday. The eighth episode of the Taylor Press video interview series with city of Taylor staff, “Taylor Talk with Jason Hennington,” will be Monday, July 11, at noon on the Taylor Press Facebook page.
