The last time the Lady Bearcats of Denton-Geyser- Stanford played at the Northern C Divisional Basketball Tournament, most of the current Lady Bearcats were in the lower elementary grades. This year’s squad secured enough conference wins to take third place in District 8C. They lost one game at the District 8C Tournament against Roy-Winifred in semi-final action and fought back on Saturday to win two games and gain a third-place trophy at the district tournament. But what was far more important to these girls was the opportunity to play at the divisional level.

If you are looking at high school students in Denton, sophomore Austin Jessen is sure to stand out. The son of Jason and Jonna Jessen, Austin is working on a personal long-term goal - to donate his hair to Wigs for Kids.

“Wigs for Kids provides wigs for kids with cancer,” Austin said. “There is no cost for the wigs that kids receive. Other organizations sell the wigs that are made with donated hair.”

Austin said no one convinced him to grow out his hair so it could be donated.
