“Today concluded our Pittsburg Pirate Football Camp! It was a very exciting 3 days, where we truly feel our athletes that attended became not only better athletes but also young men of character,” said athletic director Triston Abron. “In today’s competition, we found out who had the best punting skills! Winning the 6th/7th grade group was Jeremiah Flores. Winning the 8th grade group was Nick Styles. The freshman group was won by Landon Graham... We are very excited about this year and the years to come in the Pittsburg Pirate Football Program. Stay hungry and Let’s EAT!”

“Thank you to Nestle Water North America for the pallet of water donated to the Camp County Sheriff’s Office through the BlueTriton grant. Pictured are Investigator Randy Huggins and Jeff Hall with the Hawkins plant. We have recently acquired a refrigerator and microwave for our deputies’ offices that is utilized 24 hours a day. Being a non-profit public safety organization, we cannot budget funds to buy snacks or drinks for employees,” says Susan Taft. “This donation by Nestle Waters North America would go a long way in helping keep our deputies hydrated during the upcoming hot Texas summer.” COURTESY PHOTO
