KCvsLamarState3byCarrieNutt For the second consecutive year, KC secured a spot in the Region XIV Conference Tournament. Unfortunately, for the second consecutive year, the appearance in the postseason was shortlived.

Ninth-seed Jacksonville College upended the eighth-seed Rangers, 70-53, in Thursday’s opening game of the Region XIV Basketball Championships tournament at the Herrington Patriot Center on the campus of the University of Texas at Tyler.

Head Coach Brian Hoberecht coached KC to its first winning season since 2005-06, but several injuries depleted the team toward the end of the season.

A look back on the season


Gladewater sophomore Brandon Kegarise helped deliver a 10-pound baby by Caesarean section last week in Haiti.

This week he is sitting in his classes at KC.

“This was an experience that opened my eyes and I would recommend that any KC student, if given the opportunity, go to Haiti,” Kegarise said.

Former KC president Bert E. Woodruff died Saturday at his Kilgore home. Woodruff served as an instructor of business and a business manager for more than 40 years before being named the college’s sixth president in 1989. During his four-year tenure, he was responsible for placing KC on firm financial ground and enacting policies which insured the future financial strength of the college. Woodruff is survived by his wife, Bobbie, and daughters Joy, Martha, Myra and Donna

The snow began falling in Kilgore and around East Texas last night. Weather forecasts predict that the area will receive 2-4 inches of snow before the snowy weather abates. Check out the Flare Flickr site and staff blogs for expanded photo galleries and updated information on the weather.
