DUCKS' HOMECOMING RALLY FALLS SHORT |
|
The Taylor Ducks rallied from a 25-7 deficit Friday but the Madisonville Mustangs kicked the game-winning, 30-yard field goal with :06 seconds on the clock to spoil the Ducks bid for a homecoming celebration in a wild, 28-26 setback. The loss was the third in a row for the Ducks, now 0-2 in District 24-AAA play, but their sparkling comeback efforts drew cheers from the large homecoming crowd. The Ducks scored 4th quarter TD's from Samuel Jirasek (41-yard pass) and Jacob Doss (3-yard run) to claim a sweet 26-25 lead with 1:06 to play. But the comeback was spoiled as Madisonville's Eddie Palacious booted his third FG of the night for the victory. The Ducks travel to Bryan Rudder Friday for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff. |

TISD SCHEDULES ACCELERATION EXAMS |

The Taylor Independent School District will offer examinations for acceleration in grades K-12 on August 19, 20 and 21. Texas State Board of Education rules require that any student be granted the opportunity to take an examination to be accelerated to a higher level or to receive credit for a course they have not yet taken in school. The students must score at least a 90 on such a test to be advanced a grade level in grades 1-5 or to receive credit in grades 6-12. Criteria for kindergarten acceleration may be obtained from the Naomi Pasemann Elementary principal. No fees are required. Parents with questions may call Taylor ISD Cuuriculum Specialist Carol Lindell at 512-352-6361. |
