Benbrook Middle-High School Volleyball Preview by John English

With a 25-15 overall record and a playoff victory in 2018, hopes are highfor the Benbrook volleyball team as the season gets underway and the 2019program picks up where last year's team left off. Coach Frances Davies said the Lady Cats were hit by graduation fairlyhard last year, but added that she has been impressed with how her youngerplayers have performed to this point in the non-district season. “So far, the team is shaping up pretty nicely,” Davies said. “In graduatingsix players last season, we had a lot of spots we had to fill, and our youngergirls have stepped up and are mixing in beautifully with the returners.” Benbrook went 9-3 in district competition in 2018, finishing secondoverall in 9-4A and losing to Celina in the area round of the post-season. Davies, who is starting her sixth season at Benbrook, said she expectssetter Camryn McGriff (all-district), middle blocker Emily Fowlkes (all-dis-trict) and libero Mallory Gossett to lead the way for the Lady Cats this season. “These three girls will be my seniors and have been major parts of ourpast successes,” Davies said.

Also look for big things from 2018 all-district selections Kayla Jenningsand Danika Washington. One of the major objectives for the 2019 season forBenbrook is to clinch another post-season berth, and Davies said that she willneed one thing more than any other to make that happen. “To make playoffs, our biggest goal will be communication,” Daviessaid. “My returners were very used to the girls that they used to play with,and we've never had to rebuild. With new players, you have to talk more inorder to get the teamvibes flowing and thecomfort on the court.” Benbrook openedthe season Aug. 6 witha victory over FWNorthside in theGrandview tournament.

Texas History Minute

First Woman State Judge Elected in Texas, Sarah Hughes by Dr. Ken Bridges

“It all depends on whether you’re willing towork hard enough to get what you want, not whatstands in your way,” Judge Sarah T. Hughes saidin 1977. Hughes faced obstacles in her life, butbecame the first woman appointed as a federal

judge in Texas and also became a nationally-known figure amidst a national tragedy. She was born Sarah Tilghman in Baltimore in1896. As a youth, she was extremely intelligentand also very determined. She excelled at athlet-ics and academics alike. She earned a bachelors degree fromBaltimore’s Goucher College, then an all-women’s college. After graduating in 1917, shetook a series of interesting jobs on her way to herlaw career. She taught science for two years at asmall school in North Carolina before coming toWashington, DC, to attend law school at GeorgeWashington University. In a time before women could vote nationwideor even attend some universities, she was deter-mined to become an attorney and worked her waythrough law school as a police officer, takingclasses at night. For a time, she even had to livein a tent on the edge of the city. She met her future husband, George Hughes, a

Texas native, in law school. The two married in1922 and left for Dallas. While her husbandquickly found success with a private firm, SarahHughes had a difficult time as a woman in spite ofher impressive law school degree. One law firm in Dallas hired her as a recep-tionist and only handed her a few cases at first.Within a short time, she earned the respect of theother attorneys. Nevertheless, she enjoyed the lawand “the thrill of a fight” as an attorney, as she toldan audience in 1928. In 1930, she was elected to the state legisla-ture. She worked for rights for women and servedon the Judiciary and Labor committees. One issueshe had become passionate about was a law bar-ring women from serving on juries. She attempted to have the law changed in hertime in the legislature, but failed. She continuedto work for it afterward, and as a result of herwork, the right for Texas women to serve on jurieswas secured by 1954. (continued on page 8)

JAMES D. SCHULLATTORNEY AT LAW

In January 1935, as Hughes started her third term in the legislature, Gov.James V. Allred appointed Hughes to an open judicial, the 14th District Courtin Dallas. In the process, she became the first Texas woman to serve as a dis-trict judge. She was elected to a full term in 1936 and re-elected every fouryears up to 1960. When influential Dallas Congressman Hatton Sumners retired in 1946,Hughes jumped at the chance to run for the seat that comprised all of DallasCounty. However, she came just short in the primary against J. FranklinWilson, himself a former Dallas judge. She had become a respected figure inlegal circles and had generously donated to her old college in Maryland. Inhonor of what she had achieved, Goucher College established the Sarah T.Hughes Field Center in Politics to study Maryland politics and to encouragestudents to get more heavily involved in politics. She helped secure Dallas County’s first juvenile detention center in 1950.In 1952, she was surprised by being nominated for vice-president at theDemocratic National Convention. She realized she did not have a chance andwon only one vote while the vice-presidential nomination went to Sen. JohnSparkman of Alabama with Illinois Gov. Adlai Stevenson heading the ticket. Hughes ran for the State Supreme Court in 1958. In a hard-fought con-test, she won 49.3% of the vote, coming up just 14,000 votes short in her raceagainst incumbent Justice Joe Greenhill. In spite of her disappointing loss, Hughes was still looking forward as the1960s approached. She would soon embark on the most memorable phaseof her career.

Western Hills HS Golf Has Promising Athletes Returning by John English

WHHS Volleyball Sets Up For a New Season by John English

The Western Hills girls golf team just missedqualifying for a regional berth this past spring, buttwo of its individual players advanced and bothare back for the 2019-2020 season. Sydnee Leonard and Jordan Douglas-Jones

represented Western Hills at the regional golf tour-nament back in April, and coach Blake Moilansaid he could not have been more proud of theirefforts. “Both girls did a great job of improvingthrough the season,” Moilan said. “None of ourgirls had played gold prior to last season. Theycame to me and wanted to play. We had five girlson the team last year with zero experience. Golfcan be frustrating, so the biggest thing was to getthem all to see the progress from meet to meet andpractice to practice.” Leonard and Douglas-Jones both took sevenstrokes off of their day one performance at theregional meet, and for Leonard her success soearly on came as a bit of a surprise. “For starters, I’d never imagine myself playinggolf, much less make it to regionals,” Leonardsaid. “I’m bad a putt putt, so I don’t know how Imanaged to 'swing' that. But I’m really glad I didjoin, it’s been an opportunity to not only learn thegame of golf, but also to create relationships withthe whole golf program, which meant a lot to me.

“Everyone was always super supportive, whichhelped me want to get better in the game, andmiraculously I made a lot of improvement, CoachMoilan can see my progress more than I can, but Itrust that he’s right.” Douglas-Jones echoed Leonard's sentiments,“I never thought I would come to understand golf,let alone enjoy my time playing it,” Douglas-Jonessaid. “My performance progressively improvedthroughout the season. When I first started, Icouldn't keep my left foot down or even hit theball. But with the help of my coach, I improvedrapidly. Although the season did have its ups anddowns throughout, it all proved joyous.” Moilan said the major objective he has forLeonard and Douglas-Jones during the off-seasonis just to continue to play as much as possible. “They both just need time on the course,”Moilan said. “They just need to keep playing.Practice is hard sometimes because of the cost ofgolf and the time commitment that it takes. Aslong as they are getting on the course as much aspossible, they will continue to get better.”

The Western Hills volleyball team is hoping tocarry on the success it enjoyed in 2018, when itfinished third in district competition and won itsbi-district round playoff game. Coach Mickey Yeager said that he is feelinggood about the way things are shaping up for2019, and said his younger players are really start-

ing to step it up. “We had a great off season and summer pro-gram,” Yeager said. “I think that will help us getthrough the experience issues we will have at thebeginning of the season. I think by the time we getto district play we will be on pace with the otherteams in our district. We are still a very youngteam, but there are five juniors who played varsitylast season as sophomores that are returning.” The Lady Cougars finished 21-12 last seasonand lost to Melissa in the area round of the play-offs, and Yeager said a strong core of that team isback. “Senior Sara Baker and juniors StephanieGalaviz, Martell Guzman, Amya Williams, andCatti Rock will lead the way this year,” Yeagersaid. “Baker, who was an all-district honorablemention last season, is a versatile player with greatleadership skills. She is a six rotation player whowill hit outside, play left back, and be called uponto set on occasion. Libero Stephanie Galaviz, afirst team all-district performer from last season,will lead the way on defense. She has exceptionalrange and athletic ability. She has the best instinctsof any player I have coached either in high school
