On a chilly Wednesday night at Lee Hedges Stadium, Katherine Booras warmed the hearts of those in attendance for the Captain Shreve-Northwood soccer game.

The 19-year-old senior, a special-needs Gator, scored the “winning” goal in the team’s home finale.

“Soccer is my favorite,” Booras said.

Wearing No. 58, Booras was mobbed by Gator teammates and received a bouquet of flowers.

Following her star performance, Booras was ready for a celebratory drink.

“Hot chocolate,” she said.

SHREVEPORT, LA (KSLA) – Nice guys don’t always finish first but Captain Shreve senior basketball player Christopher Wilkerson doesn’t mind that.

He says what matters to him is how you treat people, so at the end of the day, he says, finishing first is about putting others before yourself.

“I don’t know. I’ve just been, you know, kind of humble. I don’t really worry about stuff like this,” said Chris.

Chris isn’t used to the cameras or the attention. He just wants to play basketball.

Gators’ head coach, Todd Martinez, said, “I wonder if he’s going to say five words when you actually talk to him. He doesn’t expect nor go to the light but he leads others there.” Continue reading →

Captain Shreve believes complacency ruined its season a year ago after an impressive run to take the title at the prestigious Bossier High School Invitational.

That’s why Gators coach Todd Martinez and his players don’t want to celebrate too much after an unbeaten start that includes wins over Huntington and Bossier. But it’s already clear this team has what it needs to compete with anyone so long as it stays on the right track. 

“(We have) a lot of ability and a lot of different pieces to use and it’s just a matter of finding how the pieces best fit,” Martinez said. “I’m real pleased with the start but I’m partially optimistic about not being satisfied winning four games because the season’s 30 games long. If you’re satisfied winning four you’re in trouble.”  Continue reading →

When it comes to athletic backgrounds and how that has the potential to move a high school forward athletically, few can match the resume of Captain Shreve’s Ginger Gustavson.

On the job at East Kings Highway for just over a month, the former Ginger Colvin was a standout basketball player at Benton High School, playing for both her father, Valcar Colvin, and Myles Holladay. She earned All-State honors in 1987, precisely 20 years after dad captured the same honor.

“That’s something that not many people know, but that has always meant a lot to me,” Gustavson told The Times in an exclusive interview. Continue reading →

One mathematician is preparing to hand over the leadership of Captain Shreve High School to another.

Dr. Lamar Goree on Thursday named Ginger Gustavson as the successor to Dr. Sandra McCalla. McCalla leaves behind a legacy of 55 years in education, including 49 years in Caddo Schools and six years at Northwestern State University. She announced her intentions to retire in June, but agreed to stay at the helm of the campus while the district worked with the community to name the next principal.

“I am extremely honored and grateful for the opportunity to continue Dr. McCalla’s legacy of excellence,” Gustavson said. “She has built a tradition of high expectations and put powerful practices into place which we will use as we push forward for continued success.” Continue reading →
