Talk about blazing starts.
The No. 4 ranked TVCC Cardinals will open up at home against No. 13 Tyler Saturday, Aug. 30, and follow that right up on the road the next week against No. 8 Navarro.
Add Cisco and Kilgore (both home games) to the list and you have the Cards kicking off 2014 with four straight conference games, three of them in Athens.
All four games are set for 7 p.m.
We hope you will come out to support the Cardinals and watch players you will soon see on TV on Saturdays and Sundays.

In a world that becomes more digitized and computerized every day, careers in information technology are in high-demand.
To keep up with this ever-evolving workforce need, Trinity Valley Community College will begin offering Marketable Skills Awards (MSAs) courses beginning in the Fall 2014 semester. The first MSA will be PC Hardware Technician training to prepare students to take the CompTIA A+ certification exam. CompTIA is a non-profit trade association that serves as the voice of the world’s information technology (IT) industry and offers worldwide recognized certification credentials for professionals in the information technology field.
“We’re living in an increasingly technological world,” said TVCC computer science instructor David Stephens. “Computer problems are frustrating for everyone and computer down time ranges from expensive to downright catastrophic for businesses that depend on their critical systems to run their companies.

Computer techs are in high demand right now, and they will continue to be in years to come.” Continue reading “TVCC to Offer Courses for A+ Certification Training”
