THOUGHT FOR TODAY
“Religion’s home is in the
conscience.”—Cuyler.
Best of success tonight in the
Burleson game, Ennis Lions! It
would be wonderful to nab the
very first one and set the EHS
team on the Victory Trail—
which we hope will lead even-
tually to the title! Team, coaches
and fans are really excited and
here’s hoping their dreams come
true.
