Ellis County Astronomical Society
Friday, September 05 @ 10:47:27 CDT by Loy (194 reads) |  Letter to the Editor
A few years ago the Starship Pegasus tried to put an astronomy club
together for the people of Italy and other surrounding towns in Ellis
County. As we all know it went downhill and the people who were
interested were left with nothing. As a fellow amateur astronomer I am
currently seeking input on starting a new club here in Italy, Texas.

Thursday, September 04 @ 23:37:15 CDT by Loy (166 reads) |  by Aaron Itson
ITALY - Thursday night the JV Gladiators played host to Chilton in a
game that was dominated by the Pirate's defense. The Gladiator offense
was held at bay making only two trips into Chilton territory the entire
contest. The Pirates blanked Italy 22-0, handing the Gladiators their
second straight loss. It was a slow and sluggish start for both teams
with bad snaps, mishandled balls, turnovers, and several penalties.
