Electra Hopeful On Eve of Game
Electra fans expect a fair chance against Wichita Falls Coyotes at home next Saturday in Coach Gilstrap’s first test of the season. The Tigers, bolstered by a strong backfield and larger line, focus on improving kicking and second string depth after recent injuries and a 20-0 loss to Vernon. Additional notes cover local social visits, school activities, and upcoming operable plans for the Electra community.
