Picasso’s Pizza and Grill was buzzing with big names and famous faces Wednesday night for our first playoff edition of the Wildcat Sports Report.
LH coach Scott Smith provided insight about the team’s attitude and its challenges heading into Friday’s playoff opener against North Garland. LH ironman James Duke told us what it’s like to play receiver, defensive back and return kicks. A couple of Duke’s teammates, Matt Werther and Jason Dann, were there to lend support.
Then we visited with Highlandettes Megan Williams, Haleigh Briggs and Jennifer Klopfenstein to learn more about their competition season. We also chatted with varsity cheerleaders Tori Cronin and Ashley Zorn about their Build-a-Cat fundraiser.
We got the scoop on North Garland from veteran Garland News sports writer Brian Honea, and finished with a visit from volleyball players Rachel Peters and Christina Flanagan before they head off to Huntsville and the regional tournament.
As if that weren’t star-studded enough, LH principal Walter Kelly and his family were in attendance. If you haven’t met Mr. Kelly’s son, Owen (pictured with Jennifer Klopfenstein), he’s a real charmer.
