One of our main focuses of content is the youth of area. The staff at Resident Press takes this focus very seriously, and with a great deal of pride. From education to sports, we have always told their stories and illustrated the amazing elements of the school districts in our coverage area.
For the first time ever, RP staff worked closely with Hackett, Lavaca, Mansfield and Waldron School Districts and coaching staffs to develop an All-Area Team that showcases the efforts of athletic ability, and a Resilience Award.
The Resilience Award honors those who overcame adversity through their sport of choice, and maintained a positive image in their community.
Resident Press is proud to present to you, our Fall 2018 All-Area Team for Football, and Volleyball. It is with great hope that we not only establish a tradition that can be widely recognized, but one that is filled with growth in the years to come.
