The Lady Lions allowed the Windthorst Lady Trojans to jump out to an early lead during the bi-district playoff game last Thursday, then watched any hope of advancing slip away despite an admirable effort to recover.

Albany fell to Windthorst 10-0, with the Lady Trojans scoring all their runs in the first two inn-ings, ending the season for the Lady Lions.

Moran senior Kobee Lapp won gold in the triple jump at the Region 3-A track meet at Whitney High School last Friday and is headed to the 2019 University Interscholastic League Track and Field State Championships in Austin on Friday, May 10. 

“He won the event on his final jump by over a half a foot,” said coach Matthew Hise. “Going into the last jump he was in third place. After losing out of going to state last year by 1/4 of an inch, it was extremely exciting to see him earn his way to state this time.”

First through fifth grade classes at Moran were able to attend Hardin-Simmons University’s 37th annual Western Heritage Day last Thursday, April 25.

Western Heritage Day is designed to immerse children of the Big Country in western culture as it might have been in Abilene during the 1800s.
