From the Chireno Owls Sports Wire: Good luck to our boys' and girls' junior high teams as they travel to Leggett this afternoon. There will only be two games with our Lady Owls tipping things off at 5:00 PM. Our junior high and high school cross country runners had yet another dominant showing yesterday at the West Sabine Cross Country Invitational Meet. In the high school boys' varsity division, five of our runners finished in the top 20, while we also had medalists in the JV boys' and junior high girls' divisions. Lastly, Chireno ISD will release another high school basketball schedule tomorrow. Due to some scheduling conflicts within district 24-2A that affected a few games in December, the district schedule needed to be altered to reflect those needed changes. So, be on the lookout for the release of the new basketball schedule here on the Chireno Owls Sports Wire.
From Chireno ISD: For Immediate Press Release: At approximately 3:30 pm this afternoon, one of our school buses was struck from behind by another vehicle while stopped and with its red flashers activated.

Parents of the students on the bus were notified immediately and were able to come to the scene and take their children home. Chireno ISD would like to thank all who quickly came to the scene to check on all involved, who directed traffic, as well as law enforcement that arrived so quickly.
