Welcome to Bulldog Stadium and many more graphic displays will greet McGregor Bulldog fans this year with the addition of a new state-of-the-art scoreboard complete with 25 second clocks. Major contributor for the project was the First National Bank of McGregor. “We owe a great deal of gratitude to the people at First National for their generous contribution,” McGregor ISD Superintendent Kevin Houchin stated. “We could not have done it without their help.” Supt. Houchin pointed out that the scoreboard that was replaced lasted 30 years and it also was funded by the First National Bank. The marquee, located in the top center of the scoreboard, is actually larger than the new marquee located at the administration building on Bluebonnet Parkway. The graphics program is the same for both. Pictured in front of the scoreboard are Supt. Kevin Houchin, Mike Beard, First National Bank Chairman and CEO; David Littlewood, First National Bank president; Fritz Matthies, First National Bank Executive Vice President; McGregor Athletic Director Tim Seward, and Assistant Superintendent John Hudson.

Eight-year-old Joseph Mooney of McGregor is pictured clearing the high jump bar at the McGregor Summer Track Meet held last Thursday afternoon and evening. He placed first by clearing 3’4”. Approximately 600 athletes competed at the meet and the home side bleachers were full of spectators. The Regional meet will be held this Friday and Saturday at Temple Wildcat Stadium. Mooney is the son of Charles and Claudia Mooney of McGregor.
