This week's paper is our yearly high school football edition, with pictures, rosters and schedules for teams from around Hunt County. We've been doing this for over 40 years, and a lot of families like to hold onto the feature as a keepsake, so, if you have a child who's playing high school football this year, be sure to pick up a Shopper! We have pictures of teams from Boles, Caddo Mills, Celeste, Commerce, Greenville, Greenville Christian, Leonard, Lone Oak, Quinlan and Wolfe City.
On our front page story, we also discussed a few tips for parents with kids in sports. If your child is playing a competitive sport this year, be it high school varsity football or t-ball, check out Youth Sports Psychology's 8 guidelines for sports parents. For example: be sure to ask your child the right questions to foster an appropriate attitude toward winning and losing. For example, if you ask your child "Did you have fun?" After a game, they'll be more likely to understand that the focus should be on personal enjoyment. Conversely, if you always ask "Did you win?" Your child may be inclined to assume that winning is the ultimate goal.
