A Gonzales native and his band are in the national spotlight after performing in Las Vegas.
Fred Soto of Austin, son of Julia B. and the late Ju-lio Soto of Gonzales, per-formed and headlined with Adelberto and the Legend-ary Latin Breed band at the National Tejano Music Convention at the Las Ve-gas Hilton Aug. 22.
The band is known for its crisp horn sound and
has been fusing elements of R&B, salsa, funk and soul into their music since 1969.
The Latin Breed has set the standard for contem-porary Tejano Music above and beyond any other band in this genre and has been recognized by a Proclama-tion from the State Senate of Texas through a signed docket.
“Adalberto & The Latin Breed came prepared and ready to play in Sin City”
one review noted of the performance, and rave re-views poured in from radio personalities, DJ’s, media, fans, fellow musicians and colleagues in the industry.
Soto has been part of the band since 2000, playing Alto/Tenor & Bari Saxes.
He was born and raised in Gonzales, graduating from Gonzales High School in 1976. As a senior in high school, he placed second in a national music competi-tion and received the Hin-da Honigman Award from The Brevard School of Mu-
sic in Brevard, NC. He received scholarship
offers from the University of Miami in Coral Gables, FL; the University of Texas in Austin & Texas Lutheran College (now University) in
Seguin. He decided to study at TLC under full scholar-ship where he studied ex-tensive classical saxophone repertoire with the late Dr. Roy E. Norton, Professor

Trimming prescription costs
Some common-sense tips for the older travelerWhether retired or sim-
ply an empty nester, older men and women often love their increased opportuni-ties to travel and see the world. Without kids to cater to or college tuition to pay, men and women approach-ing retirement age, or those who have already passed it by, find themselves with more free time to take to the highways and skyways and experience other cultures.
While traveling is a great way to make the most of one’s golden years, travel-ing as an older adult isn’t the same as it might have been back when you were a carefree teenager or twenty-something backpacking through Europe. Before set-
ting out to see the world, older travelers should con-sider a host of factors.
DocumentationOlder travelers tend to
travel abroad more than they do domestically, so be sure all documentation, in-cluding passports for each traveler, is up-to-date. If you’re traveling for an espe-cially long period of time, be sure your passport is val-id beyond the length of the trip. The United States De-partment of State also notes travelers must determine if the country they plan to visit requires a visa to enter.
In addition to passports and any visas you might need, make sure your driv-
er’s licenses and auto insur-ance policies are current and will remain so through the trip. This is important for travelers who plan on renting a car during their vacation. Don’t forget to bring your driver’s license and proof of auto insurance (as well as contact infor-mation for your insurance company should an acci-dent occur) on your trip.
Climate & GeographyIt’s also important to
consider geographical con-ditions before establish-ing any travel plans. Older men and women tend to have more health issues and might even be on prescrip-tions that can make it chal-
lenging to travel to certain areas. Before committing to a trip, consult your phy-sician about the possible effects a certain climate might have on you person-ally. Some people might be sensitive to altitude and therefore unable to travel to high-altitude locations without putting themselves at serious risk.
When considering cli-mate and geography, don’t overlook a region’s history or likelihood of natural di-sasters. If a given destina-tion has a history of hur-ricanes, earthquakes or tsunamis, then consider that before making plans. It’s still possible to enjoy such destinations, but you’ll want to travel when such
storms or natural disasters are not in season.
Luggage & WardrobeWhen traveling, it might
be comforting to overpack because it can give you the feeling you’re prepared for any situation that might arise. But don’t pack so heavily that your luggage becomes a nuisance to take from place to place. If you’re traveling to espe-cially tourist-friendly re-gions, keep in mind such locales often have all a trav-eler needs should he or she have forgotten something or experiences an emer-gency.
When packing your clothes for a trip, keep your wardrobe as conservative
as possible. Anything too flashy could draw the at-tention of con artists or thieves, as tourists often make for easy marks. But don’t forget to pack some formal attire as well, as clothing that is too casual might make it hard for you to gain access to certain tourist destinations or res-taurants.
Contact InformationWhile a vacation is an
escape for many people, you don’t want to escape from the world entirely. Make sure loved ones back home have your itinerary and know where you will be staying should an emer-gency occur. If traveling abroad where you won’t have cell phone service, choose resorts or hotels with Internet access and ensure friends or family members you will check in periodically via e-mail. While staying in touch might not be reminiscent of the carefree travels of your youth, doing so will help your loved ones rest easy and will prove invalu-able should something un-expected occur.
When traveling, older men and women should consider a host of factors before making plans and always make safety a prior-ity.
For the millions of people who rely on prescription medications every day, the day when a drug faces generic competi-tion is one many circle on their calendars. That’s because generic prescriptions are of-ten significantly less expensive than brand name medications, and consumers are able to save substantial amounts of money once a brand name drug faces generic competi-tion.
But many men and women currently taking a brand name prescription might be quick to point out that, while generic medications cost less, brand name pre-scriptions often rise in price in the months before they face generic competition. Such was the findings of a 2011 study from the AARP Public Policy Institute that ex-amined the 217 brand name drugs most commonly used by people in Medicare. Prices of drugs facing generic competi-tion in 2010 rose by an average of nearly 14 percent in 2009, an increase that was nearly twice the amount of all other drugs. So while drugs might be more affordable once they can be purchased generically, consumers can expect brand name drug manufacturers to drastically increase their prices in the months prior to facing gener-ic competition, as the manufacturers are, in a way, looking for one last big revenue score before their patents expire.
That’s a troublesome reality for anyone taking a brand name prescription, but es-pecially so for older men and women living on fixed incomes. Though drug manufac-turers aren’t likely to change their practic-es, there are still ways men and women can reduce prescription medication costs.
* Ask for generics. If there are generic alternatives to brand name medications available, always ask a physician for those medications instead of their more expen-sive brand name counterparts. Don’t just assume a physician will prescribe gener-ics. Sometimes doctors prescribe brand name medications despite the availability of cheaper and equally effective generic medications.
* “Test drive” a drug first. Just because a doctor prescribes a drug doesn’t mean the patient will respond to that drug. Many men and women find they are too sensi-tive to a given medication and stop tak-ing it after just a few days. Unfortunately, they paid for a full prescription and cannot return the pills they don’t plan to use. In-dividuals who have a history of sensitivity to medications should “test drive” a drug first, ordering just a few pills or asking a physician for samples to see how well the body handles them. This won’t necessarily matter for people with flat-dollar copay-ments (you will essentially have to pay two
copayments if the drug proves effective), but those without such a plan can save themselves some money if medication does not work out.
* Buy in bulk. Men and women who have been taking a certain medication for a long time and expect to keep taking it might want to consider buying the medi-cine in bulk. This can save money; just make sure pills purchased won’t surpass their expiration date before you take them.
* Inquire about combination medica-tions. Sometimes medications used to treat the same condition can be purchased as combination pills. This will only require one prescription instead of two.
On a similar note, men and women tak-
ing medications for two different condi-tions might also be able to take just one medication that treats both conditions. For instance, some blood pressure medications have proven effective at treating other con-ditions as well. But don’t experiment on your own. Consult your physician about your medications and ask if any of them can be used to effectively serve double-duty and save you money.
* Look for programs that offer relief. There are programs that offer some relief with regards to paying for prescription medications. Discuss such plans with a physician to determine your eligibility, which might be determined by your age or current prescriptions.
Shiner Catholic School cheerleaders and mascots held a mini cheer clinic on Saturday, August 23, 2014. Both St. Paul High School cheerleaders and St. Ludmila Junior High cheerleaders teamed up to teach these young girls a cheer and chant for the halftime performance at the first game on August 29, 2014. Big Bird and Little Big Bird were there to meet the girls and give out lots of Cardinal hugs. Spirit bags were sent home with each participant grades PK3-5th grade. SCS Cheerleaders would like to thank everyone for sup-porting this event. St. Paul Cardinals versus Yorktown Wildcats will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Shiner Coman-che Stadium. GO BIG RED!!!

My next few articles are designed to correct unbib-lical thinking that contin-ues to run rampant. I will deal with a number of is-sues that are prevalent and accepted by many. Most all of the subjects I will seek to expose contain a mixture of truth and error. This only causes the teachings to be more dangerous since they each have kernels of truth, but go astray in critical ar-eas. Biblical passages are often cited and Christian terms are used, but don’t be duped by “fools gold.” Keep digging until you un-cover the real thing. Test all things by the Word of God. “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.” (I John 4:1)
I have chosen to first respond to a bit of flawed and popular logic that goes something like this:
1. Suffering, disease, and death come from the curse that God pronounced upon Adam’s sin in the garden.
2. Jesus came to reverse the curse.
3. Therefore, Christians should not have to live with things like suffering and disease.
Upon examining these points I will have to stand in agreement with point #1. All that is evil and sin-ful, including death itself, is related to Adam’s sin. I must also agree with point #2. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil. “For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.” (I John
3:8) But point number 3 breaks down in a big way. An honest look at Scripture and at life itself reveals the fatal flaw of suggesting that Christians can live above things like sickness, dis-ease, and suffering. To be sure, Jesus cried “it is fin-ished” from the cross. The purchase of our salvation is complete, the outcome and victory is certain. He left nothing undone and noth-ing to chance. But the full application of the benefits and blessings of salvation are anything but complete. Steven Estes writes, “The Messiah came so the lion might one day lie down with the lamb, meanwhile the lion crunched the bones of first-century Christians in the Roman Coliseum. Jesus came to “save His people form their sins” yet, if we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.” I Corinthians 15:45 calls Jesus the “last Adam” who came to undo the curse triggered by the original Adam, but this summer you’ll again wrestle weeds in your garden, and giving birth to your next child will be no picnic. Only in Para-dise will it be said, “No lon-ger will there be any curse.” (Revelation 22:3)
Back to our question. Has God ordained Chris-tian suffering? You bet He has. Just read the Scrip-ture. Notice, I did not say
that God delights in suffer-ing. God takes no pleasure in our suffering. Yet, the Almighty allows, and even causes what He hates, to accomplish what He loves. Next week I will recount some of the benefits of suf-fering. For now, let us sim-ply take note of a few of the many Biblical passages that could be cited. The Lord said of the newly converted Paul, “I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name’s sake.” (ACTS 9:16) “For to you it has been grant-ed on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake.” (Philippians 1:29) “For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our conso-lation also abounds through Christ.” (II Corinthians 1:5) “Strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, we must through much tribulations enter the kingdom of God.” (ACTS 14:22) “The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified to-gether.” (Romans 8:16-17) In other words, we don’t get into heaven without suf-fering. His suffering does not eliminate our suffering; rather, His suffering guaran-tees our suffering. Christian, never forget that you follow one who died on a cross. And remember, “A disciple is not above his Master.” (Mat-thew 10:24) Embrace the privilege of suffering for the sake of the One who suf-fered for you.

JB Wells Park is for deer, not rodeosLetters to the editor
What’s really going on at our southern border? Are hotheaded office-seekers over-reacting and sending in troops that won’t do anything save waste money, or are our state leaders doing the right thing?
Some facts figures presented by State Reps. Geannie Morrison and Lois Kolkhorst during a meet-ing of State Senate District 18 Re-publicans Saturday in Port Lavaca paint a much better picture than we’ve been getting from the main-stream news media.
Part of the problem in control-ling the border is that the federal Border Patrol generally works sev-eral miles inland — meaning local law enforcement deals with most illegal crossings.
“They have the numbers to show we’re having an impact,” said Morrison, who toured the border zone recently. “Talk to the local law enforcement, they really ap-preciate having the extra help.”
Morrison spoke of taking a tour of DPS and National Guard watch positions and how the shuman smugglers have begun adapting to what we’re doing.
“They have people posted in the river, people who are supposed to look like they are ‘fishing,’ but they have radios,” she said. “When a plane or boat passes by, they ra-dio in and try to find a pattern. It’s very sophisticated.”
She also said that during her tour, the DPS officer in her heli-copter had pointed out the “Pun-ishment House” on the other side of the border — a windowless house visible from the Texas side where those who cross the Cartels are taken to be tortured or mur-dered.
Kolkhorst is planning a tour of her own, and as chair of the state House Public Health Committee she said she’s keenly interested in getting the facts on what diseases
are entering our state with the il-legals.
“We talk about the detained un-accompanied minors, but those are getting at least health screen-ings. There are family units that are being discharged (released) with no screenings at all,” she said. “So far, we’ve seen scabies, lice, H1N1 flu, pneumonia and four cases of tuberculosis. One man came into this country with a strain of TB that had never been seen before.”
About that “unaccompanied minors” thing: in spite of what the liberal news media portrays, the recent surge isn’t a bunch of fresh-faced 8-year-olds eager to become Americans.
“A large and vast number of those unaccompanied minors are 17 years old,” Kolkhorst said. Many of those are already gang members, or worse.
“Smuggling children for pur-poses of prostitution is now more lucrative for the cartels than drug smuggling,” Kolkhorst said. “The liberals like to talk about ‘humane’ treatment, let’s talk about ‘hu-mane.’”
Kolkhorst backed Morrison’s contention that the additional funding to keep a Department of Public Safety presence on the bor-der backed by the National Guard is, indeed, having an impact.
“Since June 23, we’ve seen a 61 percent decrease in crossings,” she said. “That is, we are deterring crossings by being aggressive.”
Some have been critical of the notion of putting unarmed Guardsmen on the border, but it turns out they have other skills that make them valuable.
“The National Guard is being used to detect and report cross-ings, then the DPS interdicts them,” Kolkhorst said. “(DPS Di-rector Steve) McCraw said the at-titude is, we don’t give up an inch of Texas.”
In spite of the successes, howev-er, there are a lot getting past our defenses. Only about 27 percent of illegal aliens are apprehended.
“The number we’re apprehend-ing at the border out-numbers the number of babies being born to Texas citizens,” Kolkhorst said.
And those numbers are going to have a huge financial impact on
the state. Kolkhorst spoke of a chat she’d had with the superintendent of the Lamar CISD in Rosenberg, where the district has had to hire more than 300 new teachers to handle 1,200 new students this year — many of whom do not speak English.
“There are estimates it will cost $40 billion a year on education alone,” she said. “It costs three times as much to educate a child who cannot speak the language.”
More ominous is the fact that “unaccompanied minors” aren’t the biggest worry.
“Seventy-five percent are what we call Other Than Mexi-cans,” Kolkhorst said. “A lot of them are Central Americans, but you talk to local law en-forcement, we do have what they call some ‘real problems’ (suspected Islamists).”
Kolkhorst added that legislators will likely ask Texas voters to sup-port more spending on border se-curity in the 2015 session.
“Our federal government won’t do its job,” she said. “The deal is, the taxpayers of Texas are going to have to create our own force.”
Dear Editor: My name is Donald Leifeste. I was born
and educated in Gonzales County, was draft-ed into the U. S. Army, in Gonzales and am the great-great grandson of Isham and Eliza-beth Hodges Smith who arrived here in the 1830’s along with Elizabeth’s father, James, and others. I graduated from Gonzales High School. I knew that, as most of my classmates did, that I would have to leave here to pursue gainful employment. My mom taught school in Gonzales County for many years and my dad was a farmer, carpenter and painter. I re-turned here as a property owner and resident from 19921997.
My wife was appointed to pastor the Fla-tonia UMC so we moved to Flatonia in 1997. We returned to Gonzales in 2010 and pur-chased a home on Park Place for the second time. I say all of this to verify that I’m not a johnny-come-lately, but have long and deep roots and am concerned for Gonzales.
After returning here in 2010, my wife, Jo Ann and I visited the J. B. Wells house left by J. B. Wells, Jr., to the Daughters of the Re-public of TX and the Chapter here maintains this house. Through the efforts of my wife, I learned that I am related to J. B.Wells, Jr., and helped in some fundraising to maintain the house, and through this became interested in his benevolent land donation to the City, to the used as a public park.
His deed to the City and the acceptance by
the City clearly outlives his wishes and the agreement by City officials. This occurred in 1999. The City promptly began to devel-op the 146 acres, currently called J. B. Wells Park, which he called “Santa Anna’s Mound and Deer Park”, (Paragraph Ninth (2), Will of J. B. Wells, Jr., 5 August 1961), in a way clearly different from his wishes and the agreement by City officials. These documents are avail-able at City Hall.
But that can be considered history and for-gotten or it can be considered in the current state of affairs in Gonzales. The deed for the 146 acres states that if the City doesn’t want to, or can’t follow this agreement, the land should be sold and the revenues given to his other passion The Presbyterian Church’s, Austin Presbyterian Seminary.
Today, the park looks nothing like what Mr. Wells envisioned it The City has spent at least $8,000,000 of tax dollars with no knowl-edge of revenues received, but no wildlife area for JBW’s beloved white tail deer that he asked for in his Will, no nature trails, no play-grounds, no picnic area, no athletic fields.
Now many City taxpayers of Gonzales are finally asking, “What did we get for this $8,000,000?” And some are asking, “What have we lost in the way of core city services, like good roads, ADA Compliant sidewalks, public parks that are safe for our children to play in, and proper care for our endangered historical markers, without which care we could lose them, never to regain them, and what would that make us look like to our an-cestors, those living now and in the future”?
The City Manager and some council mem-bers want to spend more money building more buildings for the convenience of folks who bring their own bedrooms and kitchens. I think many of us oppose this.
We need an alternative that may somewhat satisfy both sides. I suggest:
• The city should legally give up what is now called J. B. Wells Park because it can’t meet the financial commitment made in the 1999 deed commitment, even with denying its taxpayers core services. It would be sold and the proceeds given to the Austin Presby-terian Seminary as specified in the deed. And TPWD (Texas Parks & Wildlife Department) would no longer be a Player.
• The City and County by “Memorandum of Understanding”, would purchase the land at a price representative of fair market value as specified in Mr. Wells deed. It could then become the Gonzales County/City Activ-ity Complex, a joint, quasi-government en-tity could be formed to maintain-operate the facility for the benefit of ALL of the city and county residents. We could see county livestock shows, rodeos, special cattle sales, nonprofit activities and perhaps many other events.
If the citizens of the City and County want to spend more on development, so be it. They won’t need to deal with public opposition be-cause the requirements of the J. B. Wells Will and Deed will be out of the picture and so will TPWD.
If any of this makes sense to you, please discuss among family, friends, colleagues or-ganizations and, ultimately, City and County leaders for action.

Jesus’ sacrifice didn’t endsuffering for Christians
Gonzales County Com-missioners implemented a countywide burn ban during Monday’s regular meeting, but held off on purchasing a crime-scene surveying system.
Commissioners ap-proved the immediate implementation of a burn ban in the county. County Judge David Bird said Fire Chief Keith Schmidt had requested the ban after several weeks without rain have created dry condi-tions, and local fire depart-
ments have been kept busy combatting a number of grass fires in the county in recent weeks.
The court again heard appeals to purchase a set of specialized crime-scene mapping equipment and are looking at how to allo-cate funds for the system.
The $15,000 system al-lows investigators to vi-sually re-create crime or crash scenes and even project images of the rec-reation to better help ju-ries understand incidents. Commissioners have re-viewed the system sev-
eral times at the urging of law enforcement and the county’s Justices of the Peace but have yet to act on the purchase.
“When the county has to hire a reconstruction team, they’re going to spend tens of thousands of dollars versus having our own equipment,” County Attor-ney Paul Watkins said.
Department of Pub-lic Safety Trooper Chris Germany is among those trained to use the system and said he’s used a set borrowed from Guadalupe County on a number of
cases in Gonzales County.“The equipment is really
surveying equipment to reconstruct crime scenes,” he said. “We’re living in a world where all our jurors are ‘CSI jurors,’ they ex-pects us to solve a case in 30 minutes or less.”
Germany said the equip-ment also minimizes the amount of time a roadway has to be closed at a crash scene.
Commisioner Del Whiddon questioned whether the county could use funds allocated to the precinct Justices of the Peace for technology, and coiunty auditor Becky Weston said she would look into the possibility.
In other action Mon-day, the Court also again tabled action on seeking grant funding for a secu-rity camera system for the County Courthouse and Justice Center. Emergency Management Coordinator Jimmy Harless said he’d been contacted by a new company to provide the security system, but the item was not listed on the agenda as an action item.

While there, he studied Harmony & Arranging skills with Steve Prosser; Counterpoint & Chord Scales with the internationally renowned Trombonist, Phil Wilson; Private Jazz Sax-ophone with Andy Mcghee & Joe Viola.
Known to many as “Freddy,” Soto has also been hand-selected to perform at the NEA Awards at the Library of Congress on September 19, 2014. He will be part of a band backing up local Austin Legend, Singer/Songwriter/Composer, Manuel “Cowboy” Donley as he will be one of sev-eral to receive this prestigious award.

The National Endowment for the Arts was es-tablished by Congress in 1965 as an inde-pendent agency of the federal government. To date, the NEA has awarded more than $5 billion to support artistic excellence, creativity, and innovation for the benefit of individuals and communities.
Soto has played with an array of differ-ent bands including local favorites Cindi & Klazz, The System with Gary & Robin Sut-ton, Dino Lee & The White Trash Revue, 2-time Grammy Award winning producer Bob Gallarza, many Tejano legends includ-ing 3-time Grammy Nominated Tortilla
Factory, Sunny Ozuna, Grammy winner Little Joe y La Familia, Johnny Hernan-dez, Grammy winner Ruben Ramos & the Mexican Revolution, Ram Herrera, David Marez, The Latin Breed and Country Mu-sic Legend, the Late Ray Price.
Fred’s long list of achievements include: A Proclamation from the State Senate of Texas; 3-Time Grammy Nominee; the Ido-los Del Barrio Award received from ALMA (Austin Latino Musician Association) recognizing him for his music contribu-tions to the Latin Music Scene in Austin. He has 4 nationally recognized certifica-tions and one International: CAMT-Cer-tified Apartment Maintenance Technician; CPO-Certified Pool Operator; CPOI-Cer-tified Pool Operator Instructor; Freon Re-covery Certification, Levels I-IV, including commercial chill water systems and is an Honorary Member of the Spanish Interna-tional Honor Society.
Soto currently lives in Austin, where he is the Safety, Training & Education Coordi-nator at Hines Pool & Spa, Inc. and where he has been employed since 1995.
He gives special thanks to Andy Hines, Herb Karnau, Dr. Randy Kohlenberg, the Canales family, his family: mother Julia B. Soto, sister & brother in law, George & Rosie Flores, brother Hector Soto, sister Letty Soto Reyna of Boise, Idaho and to the many friends of Gonzales, Waelder and surrounding communities who have con-tinually influenced and supported his mu-sic career and achievements.

ern building codes.“You’ve got a wonderful old building
there,” Gauthier said. “Basically, the center section of the Old Jail does not have the ca-pacity for a full load.”
He explained that while the struts hold-ing the roof in place are fine for holding downward pressure (weight), they were not designed for extreme low-pressure sit-uations — such as a tornadic wind.
“That roof could concievably come down with a strong wind or tornado nearby.” he said. “It’s not designed for uplift. That’s par-ticularly true for the two wings. It’s a fairly lightly-loaded roof.”
Commissioners took the report under advisement as they continue working on the county’s 2014-15 fiscal year budget. The Gonzales County Historical Commis-sion is seeking additional funds for several projects at the Old Jail and commissioned
the structural study.The historical commission’s conduct was
questioned, however, during the public-comment portion of the meeting by Gon-zales resident Brandy Egger. Egger showed Commissioners a pair of antique pictures she said she’d found in the trash bin at the facility.
“I rescued those,” she said. “My question is, who authorized these artifacts being thrown away?”
Egger said she was concerned about a display of old sheriff ’s badges, guns and knives once available for view at the facil-ity.
“Know one knows where the display items are,” she said. “There is no Old Jail without those displays. This is important history that is being lost, justa s important as those two items whose history was lost when they were set out on the curb. As a taxpayer, those are my artifacts and my museum.”

A search and rescue operation began immedately but was called off after sev-eral hours because of darkness and un-
safe conditions. The search resumed early on Sunday morning with the assistance of personnel from TEXSAR.org, SMART divers, Gonzales County Rescue and Re-covery, TP&W and Sheriff ’s Office, and the victim’s body was recovered around 10:30 a.m.

Joyce Maxine Beene,1947-2014BEENE
Joyce Maxine Beene, 67, passed away Thurs-day, August 21, 2014. Maxine was born July 23, 1947 in Smiley to William Talbert Yates and Dollie Mae Glasco Yates. Max-ine grew up in Smiley; she played house with her younger twin sisters Dar-line and Charlene, made mud pies for them and al-ways looked after her little sisters even taking them to Schroeder Hall to attend the “Moods” dances when
they were all a little older. Maxine attended school in Smiley and had worked at Velma’s Restaurant wait-ing tables. She met Roger Dale Beene at a dance in Herman Sons Hall and they dated four months before they married on July 2, 1973 in Seguin. Maxine was a woman with a huge heart; she always put the needs of others before her own. It was as if she could feel the pain of others and she took it upon herself to make things better. She adored her children and grand-children, indeed they were her world and she was their rock. Maxine was a wonderful homemaker, she kept an orderly home, enjoyed cooking and she was celebrated for her en-chiladas and chicken fried steak. Maxine lived her life simply for the ben-efit of others. That is what gave her joy, purpose and a sense of accomplish-ment.
Joyce Maxine Beene is
survived by her husband, Roger Dale Beene, Sr., daughter, Trincia Beene, sons, Michael Smith, Sr., Roger Dale Beene, Jr., Judge Roy Beene, sisters, Audrey Yosko, Barbara Cox, Darline Pelletier and Charlene Pitcock, brother, Delvis Yates, grandchil-dren, Jcelyn Beene, Clegg Talbert Beene, Michael Smith, Jr., Allen Beene, Coy Hill, Joe Dale Beene and numerous nieces and nephews. She was pre-ceded in death by her par-ents, daughter, Tyre Dale Beene, sister, Inez Snider and a brother, Helmuth Yates.
A graveside service was held at 10 a.m. Tuesday, August 26, 2014 in Gon-zales Memorial Park with Rev. Todd Craven officiat-ing. The family received friends at Seydler-Hill Fu-neral Home from 9 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. Tuesday morn-ing. Services were under the care and direction of Seydler-Hill Funeral Home.

Honesty Integrity Fairness
We had just a little short shower of rain a bit ago. It was enough to wash off the vehicles and cool things off. Sure made the birds happy. We had one clap of thunder which woke
Skooter up from his nap. They are talking about two Lows meeting and staying on top of us and being a trigger. That is just fine with me. What-ever it takes to make it rain, a little Norther, a little Gulf dis-turbance, shoot a pistol up in the air...
I went to that Belmont Community Club meeting to-day and Kathy Collins is over there shuffling recipes around chomping at the bit trying to get this cookbook organized. She needs some more main dish recipes. Others are fine too, but that is the category she is short on. Our deadline is Sept. 1st and we are still try-ing to meet that as much as we can because we want this recipe book out by the first week in November so it can be bought for Christmas presents. So email to [email protected]. Call her at 830-556-0821. You will be cutting it close but snail mail it to Kathy Collins,
475 Collins Lane, Kingsbury, 78638.
The Belmont Community Club is taking on the project of collecting gently used coats and blankets to give to GCAM and perhaps the school nurses to give to those that they see are in need of them. You can bring them by the Belmont Com-munity Center on Tuesday or Thursday mornings between 8 and 9:30 AM. Perhaps when we get our first Norther and we reach for our first jacket we will come across those items that don’t fit or we don’t want any more.
The Annual fundraiser for the Belmont Volunteer Fire Department will be held on September 22nd, with serving starting at 5PM. The location has been moved to the Bel-
mont Social Club due to the fact the Oliver Pecan Com-pany was burned worse than it was thought to have been inside and it will not be ready by the time of the BBQ. Our firemen will still be doing all the cooking as normal. There are raffle tickets on sale now for the four wheeler and the rifles by any fireman. Items are needed for the auction. Contact Mia Schauer at 830-437-5266.
The Monthalia United Methodist Church is having a pot luck dinner after church on the fifth Sunday. The meat is being furnished and the members are supposed to bring the rest of the meal. The Moody Institute people are coming on the fifth Sunday to present their mission.
A Thanksgiving or Pot-luck supper hosted by both the Church and the Belmont Community Club was de-cided to be held on Novem-ber 8th at 6PM. There will be no charge and everyone is to bring a dish that will serve at least 8 people.
Hold the following people in prayer: Judy Wilson, Rhon-
da Pruett; Linda Denker; Case Martin; Landis Kern; Joe Kot-wig, Gene Robinson; Aunt Georgie Gandre, Aunt Fran-ces Gandre, Aunt Betty Gan-dre, Ben and Mabel Richter; Laddie Studler, Sandi Gandre, Joyce and Danny Schellen-berg; Nancy Garnand; Esther Lindemann, Teresa Wilke, Anna Lindemann, Millie, Mr. Bill Lott, Marie Schauer, Bob Young, Marilyn Qualls, Lil-lie Lay; Shirley Dozier;; Bob Brown; Marissa, Bubba, Mr. Cox, “Sarge” Dunkin; Pedro; Dorothy Svoboda; Rosie, Clay, Christine Wilke Nancy, May-nard; Denise, Louise Jones; Margie Menking; Jimmy Kel-ley; Jesse Esparza; Caroline Chloer; Laura Walker, George Fink;The family of Patricia Heinemeyer; The Family of July Zella, The family of Ber-nice Ward; The family of Bob-bie Pagel; pray for our troops, along with the total unrest in the Ukraine and over in Israel and now Iraq
Now let me tell you all folks. I cannot take much more of this with all of my beloved friends and relatives pass-ing away. I know I am being
selfish when I say this. Judy Zella and I worked together for many a year at that bank-ing institution that was first located across from Kotzebue Drug Store and it had just been named First National Bank. Then we made the great big decision to go from post-ing machines to that com-puter up in Austin. Then after we all got over that hurdle we moved down the street to where the Wells Fargo bank is now. You learn a lot about each other when you work in a close knit bunch of peo-ple like we did. I truly loved working with Judy. We had to be a versatile bunch. We never knew whether we were going to be answering the switch board, be counting money in the back, or being a teller. And to her family I know they will really miss her.
And then Mrs. Bobbie Pa-gel had to slip away too.
Mrs. Mabel Richter, I hope that you are out of the hospi-tal. I have a hard time keeping up with you. I thought that you were supposed to slow down a little when you reached this point in your life. However, I
think that you have speeded up. Well, no matter, wherever you are, I hope that you feel better. It is not wise to let Ben loose in the town by himself.
We thank those who gave donations to the school sup-plies. We got enough in mon-etary donations this year to go get a gift certificate from Wal Mart to give to school nurse/counselor to then take it and buy emergency supplies like underwear, a shirt, a pair of shoes, etc. or maybe some other item that a child really needs at that moment.
I think that Skooter and But-ter Bean had better watch it. If they don’t quit packing Will’s stuff off he might wring both of their necks. I just found Skooter with one of those high priced in-sulated tiny yellow screw drivers. Then they had gotten into his headphones because he had not put them up. But best of all was that Butter Bean put his head inside his size twelve tennis shoe and Skooter picked up the out-side and away they went. Where is my camera when I need it?
Have a good week, watch out for school kids, and God Bless.

Gonzales V.F.W. Annual Labor Day
On August 18th members of the Saturn Friendship Club met at the School House in Cistern for an afternoon meeting with friends. Hostesses Sandy Parr and Eva Boscamp welcomed everyone as they arrived. The theme for the meeting was “En-joying Time with Friends”. The meeting table was covered with a bright yellow tablecloth and a basket of silk daisies. There were decks of cards, sets of dominoes, items used for playing Scrabble, “Chicken Foot”, Bunco, and Mexican Train. Also a menu from a favorite restaurant, a telephone, a cell phone, books, seasonal greeting cards, and birthday cards. There were small books of Daily Devotionals and most importantly a copy of The Bible.
At one o’clock the president, Sue Kalinec, welcomed every-
one and asked Nancy Littlefield to give the Blessing. The host-esses invited the ladies to help themselves to Sloppy Joes, cold slaw, chips, and drinks of choice. Desserts for the meal were Ba-nana Pudding Cake and Butter Cookies. As the meal was en-joyed conversation turned to the very warm weather, lack of rain and interesting summertime ac-tivities.
When everyone had finished eating, the meeting was called to order by the president. All stood facing the Flag of the United States and The Texas Flag and stated their Pledge of Allegiance to each flag. The club prayer was recited in unison and the club motto, “To make the best bet-ter!” was stated.
Devotional Leader, Nancy Littlefield, who recently re-turned from a 6000 mile road trip with her husband through several northwestern states, ex-plained “God’s Plan” in regard
to mankind and nature. Nancy told of seeing scenery of awe-some mountains, magnificent rock formations, huge lakes and beautiful forests. They also saw many places where pine and spruce trees were dying. A Ranger explained that natural fires, started by lightning, are actually nature’s way of renewing the forest.
At Cedar Breaks National Park in southern Utah, they heard facts about the spruce beetle and the pine beetle that made them feel better about na-ture’s way of renewing the forest. The way that these beetles cause the death of the trees and bring about new growth benefits more of nature than just the trees. This reminded Nancy of one of her favorite Bible verses from the 29th chapter of Jeremiah: “For surely, I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope (v.11).” God does have a plan for us as He does for nature and even when we don’t understand it, the plan is there. We need to have faith and trust that God knows where we are going and how He will assure our welfare.
Her closing prayer was, “Gra-cious God, You have plans for us, plans for our welfare and not
our harm. Help us to trust in You always and be aware of that mar-velous way You work in our lives. We ask for strength for those who are struggling now and peace for those who are grieving or living in pain or fear. Protect us as we live out Your plan for our lives. In the name of Jesus, we pray, Amen”.
Little ladies, Katelyn and Kara Crolye, granddaughters of Libby Hopkins, were welcomed guests. August Birthday ladies Vivian Benton, Sandy Parr, Betty Britsch, Sharon Fried-rich, Nancy Littlefield, Jo Brun-ner and retired member Virgie Brown were honored in song and received gifts from their Secret Pals.
Roll call could be answered in one of two ways, by giving the name of their first child-hood friend and a brief state-ment about them. Or by telling what qualities are looked for in a friend. It was amazing how many friends from childhood had remained friends through the years. The qualities named in choosing a friend were many and varied. All good.
The minutes and financial report were given and accept-ed. The club welcomed Carol Campsey of Harwood as a new member. Jo Brunner encour-
aged everyone to attend the Cistern Catholic Church Picnic on August 24 at 11 a.m. The Cistern Volunteer Fire Depart-ment jointly benefits from the picnic attendance.
There was no old business. New business items were intro-duced, discussed and tabled to be voted on at the next meet-ing. The business meeting was adjourned.
Sandy Parr presented a de-lightful program on “Friend-ship”. She began by calling attention to the items on the meeting table depicting ways friends share time together. She mentioned how many friend-ships begun in childhood had continued through the years. Individuals have certain quali-ties they look for in forming new friendships. Those quali-ties are usually responsible for the friendships to continue.
The name of our group is the Saturn Friendship Club. Friend-ship is the connection between two human beings. It is also a connection between earth and Heaven. There are so many kinds of friends including Ani-mal Friends, Internet Friends, Church Friends, Social Friends and “Out to Lunch” friends. She gave the titles of songs about friends, TV shows about
friends, jokes about friends, and famous quotes about friends. Her favorite was, ”Don’t walk in front of me, I may not fol-low. Don’t walk behind me, I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend.” By Albert Camus.
The Texas legislature adopted “Friendship” as the state motto in 1930. The word Texas is from a Caddo Indian word mean-ing friends or allies. There is a Friendship Day. It was declared by the U.S. congress in 1935. It is celebrated every year on the first Sunday in August.
As we think about our friends and how meaningful their friendship is to us, let us remember that the most im-portant of all friendships is that divine friendship that gives un-conditional love, support and understanding. That friendship comes with our relationship with God.
In closing Sandy invited each one present to take a small lunch sack that hopefully will remind members of packing lunches and getting new school supplies for the start of a new school year.
The September 15th meeting will be at 1 p.m. at the Cistern School House, with Jo Brunner and Barbara Vincent as host-esses.

The Gonzales County Republican Party execu-tive committee on Monday named Richard Green to fill the county chairman’s seat following the resignation of Myrna McLeroy.
McLeroy submitted her resignation, citing poor health. Green had preceded her as county chair, and the committee voted to submit his name as county chair on the November ballot as well.
The committee also named Jake Robinson to the post as county Republican treasurer. He replaces Sarah Miller, who resigned Aug. 18.
Attendees at the meet-ing heard from several candidates on the progress of their campaigns: State Board of Education nomi-nee Dave Mundy, County Clerk nomineee Janice Sut-ton, County Treasurer nom-inee JoAnn Mercier and Jus-tice of the Peace Precinct 1 Deidra Voigt.
Committee members also discussed plans for the up-coming Come and Take It Festival, judges and clerks for the November election and plans for the annual President’s Day Dinner.
COLUMBUS — The Gonzales Apaches rallied from 2-1 deficit to a 3-2 win over the Columbus Cardinals Friday night in the final scrimmage for the Orange and Black.
Gonzales continues to make progress as they follow the path placed in front of them by the coaching staff.
“We made a step in the positive direc-tion,” Apaches head coach Kodi Crane said. “From day one, we asked our kids to have faith. We define faith as something that you believe in that you cannot see, smell or touch. We are talking to them about what we want to do on offense and defense. And they cannot see it yet.”
Crane talked about the Apaches stick-ing with the process of becoming a football team.
“I can tell you we are a better football team now than what we were at 7 this eve-ning,” he said.
The Cardinals took the early advantage in the controlled scrimmage, throwing a 60-70-yard touchdown pass. On their second drive, Gonzales stopped them on fourth down.
Gonzales came out and scored on their first drive, getting a 6-yard run by Tyler Wells. The effort was ignited by a long pass from quarterback Tyler Hendershot to re-ceiver Blake Cox. GHS failed to score on the second drive.
The Cardinals then got two drives on of-fense and both ended in a good way for the Apaches — fumbles forced and recovered by the Tribe defense.
Columbus got a fumble on the Apaches’ next offensive drive and Gonzales returned the favor on the ensuing Cardinal posses-sion.
Columbus broke the deadlock when they fumbled yet again on offense but were lucky enough to recover their fumble and run for a touchdown.
In the live scrimmage of two quarters with a running clock, Gonzales got the last laugh as running back Alyas Ramirez scored on the ground and later hauled in a touchdown pass from Brant Philippus.
Gonzales worked on running a hurry-up style offense and Columbus got a little worn out trying to slow it.
“When Columbus started getting tired, we started pounding the rock on them,” Crane said. “We distributed the ball a lot because we want to force defenses to have to defend the entire field.”
Gonzales did well on swarming players to the football on defense.
“Our kids got to the football and put their nose on it. That is what got us going,” Crane said.
Gonzales plays its first regular-season game at former district buddy Giddings at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow.
“We need to work on being consistent,” Crane said. “We also have to make sure we execute well.”

It’s time: Tribe opens season at Giddings
BThe Cannon
Thursday, august 28, 2014
The Gonzales Apaches will kick off the 2014 regu-lar season with a visit to former district opponent Giddings at 7:30 p.m. to-morrow.
“Giddings is a really good football team,” GHS head coach Kodi Crane said. “
The Buffaloes run a spread offense, similar and not-so-similar to the Apaches’ scheme.
Giddings has a very solid quarterback in Kyle Jones, the son of head coach Chris Jones.
Kyle Jones completed 60-of-148 throws for 867 yards and seven touchdowns. On the ground, he ran for 193 yards and one score.
“Kyle is extremely intel-ligent and delivers the ball well,” Crane said. “His best quality is his directing of the offense. He understands it and delivers the ball well. Kyle will run it some but does not run it a ton.”
“He throws it very well.”Kyle Jones will throw
some deep passes although it may not be the bread and butter of the Giddings passing attack.
“We will have to defend the vertical passing game well,” Crane said. “They will run play action and quick passes that will put
us in a bind if we are not paying at-tention.”
Running back Ray-lon Hickey, missed half the year be-cause of in-jury, will re-turn to lead the Giddings ground game.
In his limited appear-ances, he ran for 269 yards and had 201 yards receiv-ing with three touchdowns.
“We are expecting Ray-lon to be back there to carry the football for Gid-dings,” Crane said.
Giddings has variety in their running plays.
“They run the inside lead, the inside zone and will run Raylon on the outside zone and speed op-tion,” Crane said.
In the Apaches’ scrim-mages against Canyon Lake and Columbus, the defense defended in a box against the Slot-T of Canyon Lake and the Triple I of the Car-dinals.
Tomorrow’s game will be a little different as the Apaches must defend the whole field with Giddings’ wide-open offense.
“Now, we are going to have to defend the space,” Crane said. “Our defense has played good up to this
point but it is a different ball game d e f e n d i n g people in space.”
The de-fense has some prac-tice match-ing up against a
spread offense during the spring and pre-season workouts when it went up against its own offense.
“We have had our de-fense in seven-versus-sev-en because we knew having to defend another spread attack in Giddings,” Crane said.
Giddings has size on both of their lines and this is an area of concern for Gonzales.
The Buffaloes run the Split on their defense.
Crane is familiar with the Split having learned the concepts at the beginning of his coaching career.
Anchoring their big line will be end Shawn Gold-stein (55 tackles, five sacks).
“They do a good job with playing sound technique and controlling what they need to control.”
Giddings also has a good crew in the linebacking corps with Elijah Lewis (33 tackles) returning after

GIDDINGS: Apaches to reckon with big lines, smart quarterback
Gonzales senior cheer-leaders Krisslyn nSexton and Kendall Fougerat will take a trip to New York City in November as the two have been selected to march in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
“I think it will be a big experience. I have never been to New York. As me holding the assistant head cheerleader spot, I think
this is a big accomplish-ment for me,” Sexton said. “ I look forward to learning everything I can, exploring and having a lot of fun.”
“I am excited to go to New York for the parade,” Fougerat said. “I was in New York last year but for something different.”
The two cheerleaders tried out to be an All-American at their camp this summer at the Univer-sity of Texas at Austin.
“If you are selected as an All-American, you have
the choice of a couple of places,” Fougerat said. “We decided to do it this year because we are seniors.”
Sexton and Fougerat were judged on a dance performance and a cheer performance.
“The competition was re-ally good and I was a little scared that I might mess up a little,” Sexton said. “ I smiled and kept my com-posure the entire time and hoped for the best.”
On their schedule in New York is cheer practice
and perform at the parade. The girls will also have be able to do things like sight-seeing and shopping.
Sexton said she looks forward to making new friends and expanding her social network.
“I want to meet and greet new people. I want to see how a parade in New York is different than one in Tex-as,” she said.
Sexton has only taken part in the annual Come & Take It parade in Gonzales.

spending some of 2013 dealing with injury.“Those guys play downhill fast. They are physical,”
Crane said. “We feel their secondary is good but we hope we can get our passing game going with short to intermediate route. Of course, we will take our vertical shots like we have done in scrimmages.”
Gonzales will need solid play from their inexperi-enced offensive line to keep Giddings’ line from shutting slowing the offense.
“For many of the players on our line, it will be their first varsity experience,” Crane said. “Being in that set-ting and play against a good and experienced defensive front, we are going to have to play well.”
Giddings’ secondary leader is Jason James, who had 65 tackles and started every game.
Crane said while the players are familiar with Gid-dings football, the coaching staff is not too familiar ex-cept Crane knows Giddings coach Chris Jones, having coached with him before.
In scrimmages, there was no live special-team situa-tions and this game will be the first live special-teams action for the Apaches.
In 2013, Giddings has blocked point-after kicks and has punts downed inside the 20 three times including twice inside the 10.
“Winning special teams will be important,” Crane said.
The Buffaloes did not have the greatest year in 2013, going 3-6 and holding a 1-4 record in the district.
The game between the Apaches and Buffaloes was a defensive struggle, with Gonzales holding on to a 12-7 score.

Action from GHS scrimmages
When it comes down to it, football often boils down to which team makes mistakes and which team doesn’t.
Nixon-Smiley head coach Carlton McKinney wants his Mustangs to be wearing their thinking caps Friday.
“It’s all about execution,” McKinney said as his club prepared to take on Wood-sboro. “If we play with en-ergy and execution, we’ve got a chance. We cannot make mental mistakes and give up the big plays.”
Woodsboro’s Eagles were 8-2 a year ago, and McKin-ney said the Mustangs will have to be on their toes.
“They had a lot of suc-cess last year, they made the playoffs,” he said. “They have a big-play potential with a lot of speed.”
The Mustangs return a solid core of last season’s playoff squad as well, but will be looking to develop an effective line early.
“We just need the defen-sive front to hold on,” he said.
The Nixon-Smiley con-test against Woodsboro is one of several to open the season Friday. Other games include Shiner at Indus-trial, Luling hosting Schul-enburg, Yoakum going to Marion, Shiner St. Paul hanging out at home with Yorktown, Flatonia wel-coming Tidehaven, Snook spending part of the night in Hallettsville against Sa-cred Heart and Hallettsville making the trek to West Columbia.
Shiner at IndustrialThe Shiner Comanches
open their season against Industrial. The Cobras are normally a pretty stern test,
but with some of the other names on the Comanches’ schedules this year, Indus-trial could easily be over-looked.
Shienr head coach Steve Cerny’s No.1 concern is depth. His club starts the season with just 21 players.
“We’re going to have to have a lot of guys going both ways,” he said.
Schulenburg at LulingThe Luling Eagles kick-
off 2014 with a home game against the Schulenburg Shorthorns.
“They are a good oppo-nent,” Luling head coach Colby Hensley said. “They have a new coaching staff who work well with their players and have brought in new ideas and wrinkles to their system.”
The ‘Horns run a two-back spread offense and like the 4-3 aligmnent on the defensive side.
Their main offensive weapon is running back Jaevon Lara who ran for 600 yards and caught pass-es for 400 yards in 2013. He will be backed up by Damien Houston (97-699, eight touchdowns).
Yoakum at MarionYoakum will travel to
Marion to take on a Bull-dogs team that was 9-3 in 2013 and won the district with 6-0 record, getting to the second round.
The’ Dogs are drooling to get on the field.
“We are excited to be get-ting the opportunity to get on the field with someone else,” Yoakum coach Brent Kornegay said.
Marion has a spread of-fense that absolutely loves the zone read, run by quar-terback Hayden Holmes.
“I have been impressed with what I have seen from Hayden,” Kornegay said.
“The key for our defense is to play assignments well. If you start guessing on the reads, you will get in a bind.”
Marion runs the 4-3 on defense and has a pair of standouts at linebacker with Ty Bateman and Blake Jackson. Top defensive back is Jose Sanchez.
“Our offensive line has done well in getting more and more physical, and we need to continue that trend against Marion,” Kornegay said.
Tidehaven at FlatoniaIt’s only the first week
of school but if you are a varsity Flatonia football player, you already have a big test this week.
The Bulldogs host Tide-haven at 7:30 p.m. at Bull-dog Stadium.
“This will be a formi-dable test for us,” Flatonia coach Chris Freytag said. “They made the playoffs and return pretty much ev-erybody. They are experi-ence while we have lots of youth.
Tidehaven’s main weap-on on offensive is quarter-back Brandon Litzau who passed for 1,239 yards and six touchdowns.
“Brandon is strong, ex-plosive, just a super athlete. If you can stop him, you stop their offense,” Freytag said.
Flatonia has a strong of-fensive line which will be key for their offensive game plan.
“We need to be able to control the line of scrim-mage,” he said.
Key Tidehaven defensive players are lineman Kyle Moerbe and linebacker Roderick Fisher.
Yorktown at Shiner St. Paul
The Cardinals start 2014
by hosting Yorktown to-morrow at 7:30 at Coman-che Stadium.
Yorktown struggled through a 2-8 (0-5) season a year ago and will are a young team but should not be taken lightly.
“Yorktown is a good team and they have looked good in scrimmages,’ St. Paul coach Jake Wachs-muth said.
Key players will be FB-DL Caleb Lemke, RB-LB Johnny Wieschwill, OL-DL Joe Ragusin and TE-DE J.D. Parrett.
Wachsmuth said the Cardinal offense must be-come more consistent.
“In our scrimmages, we would have two or three good plays then we would have a bad play,” he said. ‘We have to cut out bad plays. We have to control the ball and keep York-town’s offense off the field.”
Yorktown is capable of making big plays on of-fense.
“We just have to elimi-nate those big plays,” Wa-chsmuth said.
Snook at Hallettsville Sacred Heart
The Indians start the 2014 season with a home game against the Snook Bluejays. Snook returns majority of its players from its 2013 team that went 3-7 and 2-3 so Sacred Heart fans should expect them to be better.
The Bluejay offense is led by quarterback Deon Ham-ilton who is a threat on the ground and through the air with 755 yards passing, 733 yards rushing and a total of 20 touchdowns last year.
Receiver Darrion Swain had 315 yards receiving and will be a target for Hamilton’s passing. The Indian defense will need
to eliminate big plays by Hamilton and look to con-trol the clock with their intense power-running game.
Hallettsville at West Columbia
The Brahmas kick off 2014 away from home as they travel to West Colum-bia. The Roughnecks went 4-7 (1-3) but were area-round finalists.
West Columbia has a couple of serious offensive threats in quarterback Ja-rius Kesee (76-172, 1,057 yards and nine touch-downs) and running back Dakarius Bell (274-1,852 and 24 touchdowns. The defense will be led by First-Team All-District end Dennis Moody who fin-ished 2013 with 68 tackles.Sports editor Mark Lube also contributed to this story.
After losing the first set of their Tuesday match against Gonzales, the Luling Lady Eagles told first-year head coach Jor-dan Pinson a prediction — we will win the match.
Luling believed and came away with a 3-1 win (27-29, 25-23, 25-23) at GHS Special Events Center.
“After we lost that first set in overtime, the kids said we would win,” Pinson said.
An accolade for Pin-son was that at this time last year, he was a coach at GJH, and now he is the head coach of Luling, get-ting a win against his old school district.
“No hard feelings. I loved every minute I worked for Gonzales,” he said. “But it is a nice win.”
“Both teams fought long and hard,” Lady Apache coach Sarah Kennedy said. “I give credit to Luling. They have improved.”
“Our girls fought hard, just not 100 percent of the time.”
Gonzales did well on of-fense.
“We had a well-rounded hitting game. Bailey (Con-nell), Alex (Finch) and Molly (Barnick) had about 10 kills each,” Kennedy said. “This match basically came down to who fought the whole time.”
Luling opened the first
set with a 5-3 lead and Gonzales fought back for an 8-7 advantage as Con-nell got an ace with Barnick getting a couple of blocks and a kill.
The Lady Eagles then went on an 9-3 run with the serves of Mckynna Hale and two kills from Sarah Townsend.
Gonzales went ahead 20-19 on kills from Finch, Amanda Dixson and Gretchen Singleton before going on a 9-8 run to close out the first game,
Claire Patterson served Luling to a 7-0 lead in the second game and Gonzales replied with a 9-2 run. The Lady Eagles fired back into the lead at 17-110 and later led 20-14.
Later, a Townsend kill gave Luling the win.
In set No. 3, Luling got early leads until the Lady Apaches forced a 11-11 game. Plays from Sheridan Tate and Connell put Gon-zales ahead 14-11.
Gonzales did not fall be-hind until Luling took an 18-17 advantage and then scored seven of the next 13 points.
In the fourth set, Luling found themselves down 13-9 but scored six straight for a 15-13 margin. An Elizabeth Townsend kill later saw the Lady Eagles up 20-17 but Gonzales continued to kick and scream. The Lady Apaches were down 24-21 but hung on a little longer with two
straight points and then a Sarah Townsend play sent the Lady Eagles off the court with the win.

The Gonzales Apaches girls and boys cross country team competed in their first action of the season with the Gonzales Relays Saturday at Independence Park.
“Our girls’ team is getting deeper each year and I am proud of the work ethic,” Gonzales coach Cully Doyle said. “Kendall Fougerat has really stepped up this summer. She has taken her training to another level. We have plenty of young talent to go with her as the incoming freshmen are coming in as last year’s District Champions in 8th grade. The future is really bright.”
Doyle was pleased with the Gonzales boys, led by Ashton Williams.
“Ashton and several others are on a path to make a statement this season. They finished last year as the second-place team in District and are hungry to finish on top this year,” he said.

CC team opens with home meet
Plenty of challenging matchups for area schools in zero weekBy DAVE MUNDY [email protected]
SCHULENBURG — Working on their serve-receive helped the Lady Brahmas sweep Gonzales 25-19 and 25-14 Thursday in the Schulenburg Tour-nament.
“I think we clicked and our serve-receive was bet-ter,” Hallettsville coach Megan Klimtchek said. “Our practice has paid off.”
“We did not show up in this match,” Gonzales head coach Sarah Kenne-dy said. “We did not play as a team. We did some good things but in the end it is a team effort.”
A 7-1 run in the first set helped Hallettsville erect a 15-8 lead. GHS came back with plays from Gretchen Singleton, Danielle Flow-ers and Molly Barnick to get within 16-15.
A kill and block from Lady Brahma Kayla Vali-gura sent Hallettsville on a 9-4 run to close out the set.
In the second game, the Lady Apaches earned some early advantages before the service of Hal-lettsville’s Sarah Smith put them ahead 18-6.
The Lady Apaches even-tually closed down to 22-12 and Hallettsville closed out with a 3-2 scoring ad-vantage.
East Bernard sweeps Shiner
A youthful Shiner squad went through a little more growing pains as they fell 25-10 and 25-13 to East Bernard on Thursday.
The Brahmattes took a 7-2 lead early in the open-ing set, and plays from Sarah Demny and Megan Lee helped push East Ber-nard to an 18-9 advantage before closing out the game with a 7-1 run.
In the second game, Shiner erased the first lead of the game by East Bernard with a kill from Tabitha Blaschke but the tie did not last long as the Brahmattes scored 13 of the next 15 points.
The Lady Comanches battled back with a kill from Kori Landman, a kill from Jennifer Hartl and a block by the two players to
bring Shiner within 14-6.East Bernard shook off
the shock and went on an 11-7 run to conclude the set and the match. For Shiner, Hartl had two kills,Tabitha Blaschke had four blocks and Tamara Hajeck had eight digs
Shiner improves from EB game with win over Gonzales
The Lady Comanches quickly rebounded with a 25-18, 23-25, 25-15 win over Gonzales shortly after the East Bernard match.
“We worked better as a team,” Lady Comanches head coach Desiree Nitsch said. “We are just young and it will take time for us to teach them the skills of the game.”
Kennedy liked the effort put forth by Gonzales.
“We got our energy back. I still have yet to see a full match with Monday’s (Aug. 18 home match against Lockhart) energy,” she said.
With two plays from Kassidy Bishop, the Lady Comanches led 4-0 early in the first set and later took a 17-7 lead. GHS fought back with effort from Barnick, Alex Finch, Singleton , Bailey Connell and Amanda Dixson to come within 20-14.
The Lady Comanches then scored five of the next nine points.
In the second set, the Lady Apaches came back from early deficits to take a 10-9 lead. The two teams fought neck and neck until the serves of Connell put GHS ahead 22-18.
Shiner tried to rally with five of the next eight points but fell short.
The Lady Comanches opened the third set with an 8-2 lead and Gonza-les scored 10 of the next 14 points with some aces from Danielle Flowers.
Blaschke, Bailey Mach-acek, Hartl and Bishop put the Shiner on top 22-14 and they went on to victo-ry, 25-14. For Shiner, Hartl and Blaschke had seven kills each; Blaschke had 10 blocks, Mackinley Pilat had 15 digs and Machacek had nine assists.
Gonzales tangles with former district opponent
The Lady Apaches met up with former district opponent Giddings in their second match on Friday.
Giddings was victorious in two sets 25-12 and 25-18.
Service from Sheridan Tate put Gonzales ahead 8-7 but the Lady Buffs scored 12 of the next 13 points to gain a firm hand on things.
Kirsten Muenchow helped the Lady Apach-es pull back a couple of points before Giddings closed out the set.
In the second game, Claudia Franklin had some good serves to put Gonzales up 3-0. The Lady Buffs quickly recovered with a run of four points, and the squads went back and forth until Giddings took a 15-9 lead, getting aces from Tara Oltmann.
Giddings scored 10 of the next 18 to conclude the set.
Lady Apaches edged out by Lexington
Gonzales took on Lex-ington in their third and final match of the day, fall-ing 25-11 and 25-10.
“We needed to do the little things right,” assis-tant coach Jenna Philips, stepping in for Kennedy, said. “It is early in the sea-son and we are still com-ing together.”
Lexington opened the first set with a 10-4 advan-tage and worked up to a 18-9 lead before going on a 7-2 run for the victory.
In the second set, Lex-ington had to weather a GHS lead right at the start before going ahead and not looking back, winning 25-10.
Flatonia and Halletts-ville play for the second time in less than a week
The Lady Brahmas and Lady Bulldogs squared off for the second time in just a few days, having played a non-district match at Fla-tonia on Aug. 19.
Hallettsville won the previous match 3-1 and came away with a 2-0 (25-18, 25-19) hard-earned win on Friday.
“We were a lot more re-laxed in the match,” Klim-itchek said. “The best part was our serve-receive was
great and when that hap-pens, we play better.”
“We did not play too well,” Flatonia head coach Kaylyn Boenisch. “Our serve-receive and defense was a little off.”
Flatonia had an okay start to the match with an early ace from Alanis Ri-bera and a kill from Erin Miksch.
Hallettsville rallied for a 4-2 lead and held off Fla-tonia until getting some momentum with an 11-3 run.
Savannah Flood and Miksch make a couple of plays for the Lady ‘Dogs to pull some points back but Hallettsville then went on a 7-4 run for the win.
In the second set, Hal-lettsville earns the lead but is unable to start pull-ing away until an 8-4 run breaks a 10-10 tie into an 18-14 advantage with plays from Sarah Bussel-man, Kendall Delvige, Emma Wick and Smith.
From that point, the Lady Brahmas go on a 7-5 run to finish things off.

when expressing your needs. It can be difficult to stop when you are drumming up so much excitement. Now is not the time to take a risk.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, you may have over-
extended yourself this week. You didn’t realize you had taken on so much until it was too late, but there is still time to backtrack.

daily routine can have a strong impact on your overall health. Consider tailoring a new rou-tine for yourself, and you’ll reap the healthy rewards.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Take things slow with a
budding relationship this week, Cancer. You don’t want to go too fast and find yourself in over your head. Let things develop gradually.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, carefully consider any
offer that seems too good to be true this week. While the person making the offer is not ill-intentioned, you still must exercise caution.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Big ideas sweep in this week
and leave you with a lot of inspiration, Virgo. Don’t get too lost in fantastical ideas, though. Wait a little bit before finalizing plans.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Err on the side of caution
with regard to spending this week, Libra. You have to save up for a bigger purchase that’s on the horizon, so try to save as much as you can now.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, only now do you
realize how much you have on your plate. Think about post-
poning a getaway until your schedule is less packed and you can enjoy the trip even more.

Sagittarius, turn work into play and things will move along that much more quickly. Split up the tasks at hand with a friend or colleague, and the week will fly by.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20
Capricorn, even though you don’t have much time for yourself, you feel compelled to spend more time with others. Make some time for yourself as well.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, you secretly enjoy
when others come to you for advice. Think carefully before making any suggestions, and your friends will be more ap-
preciative because of it.PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Now is the time to further
your studies, Pisces. Figure out how to finance a return to school and make the most of the opportunity.

Have you ever made a bet when you’d been drinking too much, and later wondered what you’d been thinking? If so, it might make you feel better to consider the case of a pilot named Thomas Fitzpatrick. In 1956, he was drinking at a bar in New York City when a rather boisterous argument ensued regarding his flying ability. To prove his skills to his drinking buddies, Fitzpatrick went to New Jersey, stole a small plane and landed it on the street in front of the Manhattan bar -- all while
allegedly drunk. The story, remarkable as it is, doesn’t end there, however. A couple of years later he was boasting about the incident, but his story was met with disbelief. To prove himself once again, he repeated the stunt.
The name of the state of Idaho comes from the Kiowa-Apache word “idaahe,” which means “enemy.”

Football Preview: Gonzales Apaches
The 2014 edition of the Gonzales Apaches might have lost an entire offensive line and some key players on de-fense, but will carry over 20 seniors on the team and get a lot of skilled players back.
Gonzales made the state quarterfinals for just the third time in school history in 2013 and 12 starters are back.
“I think our team will have the opportunity to be successful,” first-year head coach Kodi Crane said. “We have to develop leadership.”
“We have to be focused on the process. It is a step-by-step building block to achieve success.”
Primarily a running team on offense the last several years, the Apaches are going to attempt balance as they will sling the football a little more this year.
Crane said Gonzales will be a spread team using the
Air Raid system with primarily one-back formations, with two-back sets every now and then. At some point, a fullback and a tight end will be incorporated.
The Tribe graduated their starting offensive line but have most of their skilled players returning.
Crane said the objective is to put the football into the hands of the skills position athletes.
“We want to get the ball to our athletes in space and let them work,” he said. “Whenever you watch us, the ball will be thrown around more and the pace of the offensive will be faster. We will be a no-huddle offense and will go at an extremely rapid pace.”

APACHES:Senior Brant Philippus and junior Tyler Hendershot will
be the Apaches’ two main options at quarterback.“We will put those two in competition against one an-
other every day,” Crane said. “They are both highly intel-ligent and that is what we like. Their understanding of the offense is unreal.”
“Brant has a little more speed and Tyler can throw a real-ly good ball. No matter who is chosen to play quarterback, the other will have a receiver role.”
Gonzales has a lot of paths at running back position, led by junior Alyas Ramirez who played quarterback and run-ning back in 2013. Ramirez rushed for over 2400 yards and had 31 touchdowns.
“Ramirez has a lot of experience and Jaime Tellez has stepped in,” Crane said.
Tyler Wells and Devontae Owens will all factor for ground yards on the Apache offensive
Darrance James, Aaron Hunt, Atlantic Johnson, Brando Juarez, Klayton Blackwell, Dalton Kuntschik, Nathan Bu-rek, Zack Akers and Blake Cox will feature as wide receiv-

ers.Other players listed as receivers and could help out
are Gerson Vasquez, John Bashaw, Grayson Meredith, Colby Cantu, Travis Schauer and Zachary Hernandez.
Crane said those players could start on either offense or defense, and then play a supporting role on the op-posite side by giving teammates a breather.
“We have to be able to win the fourth quarter by not being tired at the start of the fourth,” he said.
Finding a new line will be the offensive’s biggest challenge for 2014.
“We are working to understand who these kids are and get them in the right position,” Crane said.
The offensive linemen pool is comprised of Eduardo Almaguer, Trent Schauer, Dylan Cantu, Joshua Bus-tos, Wade Miller, Ernan Hernandez, Dakota Stamport, Zac Zella, Landon Blackwell, Josh Padilla, Kenneth Hernandez, Jose Contreras, Edwardo Almaguer, Tevin Smith, Jonnathan Banda, Rode Paskie, Horacio Govea and Walter Hood.
On defense, Gonzales will use a 4-2-5 system, and will have to replace holes at defensive tackle and line-backer.
“Any good football team has to have a good second-ary. The new concept we are teaching them is different and very technical,” Crane said. “We are trying to get them to react to plays and not have to think.”

Kenneth Hernandez Banda, Eduardo Almaguer and Dylan Cantu will help on the defensive line.
Tellez Ramirez have been switched to inside line-backer, Travis Schauer has linebacker experience and Zella will also play one of the linebacker spots.
In the defensive secondary, James, Meredith, Bashaw, Colby Cantu, Wells, Vasquez, Colby Cantu and Akers will play as safeties. Apache cornerbacks will be John-son, Hunt, Cox, Burek, Zachary Herndanez, Juarez, Blackwell and Owens.
Crane said several players are being looked at for punter, including Contreras, Philippus, Johnson, Edu-ardo Almaguer and Eran Hernandez.
Bashaw and Eduardo Almaguer are slated to do the placekicking for Gonzales.
Crane said Gonzales will gradually bond as a team through adversity and hard work.
“Team chemistry is hard to gauge until it’s the fourth quarter, we are down by 10 points and it is time to go,” he said. “It will be something I will never be satisfied
with because I feel we can always get better by devel-oping leadership.”
Gonzales will face former district opponents Giddings, Cuero and Yoakum on the non-district schedule. They will be mixed in with Navarro and Bellville.
“We have a tough non-district schedule,” Crane
said. “Every one of those teams can play and not one patsy on the schedule. We will know where we are at when we get to district.”
The Apaches will see rivals Cuero and Yoakum in September, earlier than when they would nor-mally face off.
“It is just the new face of football. We would like to keep playing them,” Crane said. “Cuero leads that series by two games and that is something we want to fix. Yoakum and Cuero is who we need
to be playing. They have good programs and ath-letes.”
Gonzales holds membership in the 15-4ADI, getting Pleasanton and La Vernia back and adding Rockport-Fulton, Robstown and Beeville.
“We are the smallest school in our district and that presents a few challenges but we are happy with the district,” Crane said. “If we focus on the process, then come later October or early Novem-ber, we should be competing for a district cham-pionship.”
Crane pegged La Vernia as the toughest district
opponent, with 17 starters back from a 12-2/4-0 Division II regional finalist team.
He added that 2014 will be the 100th year of high school football in Gonzales and the coaching staff feel honored to be helping the team get to where they want to go.
“We talked to the kids about being honor-bound to the people that came before them in the pro-gram,” Crane said. “A 100 football seasons is a lot of players and games. Every day our kids go out there and protect our tradition for the people that have come before them.”

Some new faces. A new district. No worries for the Gonzales Lady Apaches volleyball team who really complement each other.
“I am really excited with the group of girls we have this year,” Lady Apaches head coach Sarah Kennedy said. “Their attitudes and personalities all comple-ment one another. We are a young team even though we have a lot of seniors.”
Gonzales is young in that a lot of the players have little or no varsity experi-ence. Also, the district has been shaken up a little as Giddings, La Grange and Smith-ville depart and are replaced by familiar foe La Vernia, and new faces Wimberley, Canyon Lake Fischer and Navarro.
“I told the girls that if they battle the way they do in practice, we can hang with any team,” Kennedy said. “Overall, it will be a fun season based on the personali-ties of the girls and the togetherness they share.”
“They might have disagreements but have each other’s back. They are a family.”
Gonzales returns six players and three starters from the 2013 team, and will carry seven seniors — Alex Finch, Bailey
Connell, Brittany Walker, Claudia Frank-lin, Danielle Flowers, Lucera Luna and Kirsten Muenchow.
Yasmin Gallegos, Muenchow, Luna and Margert Gonzales are vying for the libero/defensive specialist spots.
“Lucera and Margert are might be util-ity players,” Kennedy said.
Flowers and Sheridan Tate will be tak-ing turns as the Lady Apaches’ setter.
Kennedy mentioned Connell and Finch as outside hitters for Gonzales.
“Claudia will play some outside hitter as well,” she said.
The middle blocker spot is between returner Molly Barnick, and newcomers Amanda Dixson and Alex James.
Covering the right-side hitter will be returners Walker and Gretchen Singleton.
“Our right side is pretty set with Brit-tany and Gretchen,” Kennedy said.
Gonzales will have quite a challenge in competing for a playoff spot in the new district.

“Wimberley was in the final four last year. They lost in the state semifinals,” Kennedy said. “La Vernia made the third round and the rest of the teams made the playoffs.”
“We will be considered the underdogs but they should not count us short.”
Playing together as a team and taking
advantage of their chemistry will be the key for the Lady Apaches getting over the hump and making a return to the playoffs for the first time 2011.
“When these girls have fun, they do well,” she said. “Staying up and keeping each other positive will be the key.

Kennedy said on-court communication is very sol-id for the Lady Apaches.
“It will be a challenge because we have a new group combining together. They are picking up on how to work with each other,” she said.
Kennedy said Barnick will be one of the team’s main hitters and James has lots of raw talent that will be de-veloped after training and repetitions. Finch has lots of consistency and Connell has improved her strength.
“On defense, Yasmin is one of those kids who will run through a wall to get a ball. She is quiet but hus-tles,” she said. “Molly has always been a good block-er while Gretchen and Brittany have got it down.
Kennedy tagged Connell, Finch and Singleton as strong servers for the Lady Apaches.
Finch has played the role of quiet leader for the Lady Apaches along with Flowers, Walker and Connell.
“Alex talks when she needs to, and is encouraging and positive,” Kennedy said. “Danielle leads by exam-ple. Brittany and Bailey are vocal leaders.

Football Preview: Nixon-Smiley Mustangs
Mustangs hungry after playoff seasonNIXON — The Nixon-Smiley Mustangs ended a
lengthy playoff drought last season, and this year’s edition wants to make the post-season a regular thing.
Coach Carlton McKinney’s club has several veteran skill players back as well as a nucleus of linemen to build around. McKinney says improving on last season’s 6-5 finish will depend on focus and playing smart.
“We have a shot at being competitive,” McKinney said. “We made the playoffs last year, and we’ve been drilling it into the kids that we want that to be a usual occurrence. We want to accomplish better than last year. Our goal is to get to the point of winning district championships.”
Perennially undersized and short on speed, the Mus-tangs have adapted with a system that trades finesse for fancy. Nixon-Smiley brings back three-fourths of its of-fensive backfield, and McKinney said that will be his team’s strong suit early on.
Quarterback Nick Pena is back as the lead operator of Nixon-Smiley’s ground-based attack. Pena threw only 74
times last season but had 14 touchdown tosses among his 39 completions and 846 passing yards. Tristen Newman spent a good bit of time in the tailback slot last season, and fullback Justin Ramos is also back. Throw in slotman Tom Palacios and speedy Sam Moore at a receiver spot and you have the makings of a solid offense.
“That’s definitely our strong suit right now,” McKinney said, adding that reliable Michael Scarborough and Bran-don Garcia will also see a good bit of time in the back-field. “If we can keep our mental mistakes down, they’ll keep us on the field.”
Last season’s starting center, Riley Sanford, has moved to a guard position this season and veteran Coleton Trammell moves into the snapper’s job. Beyond that, however, McKinney said he’s still experimenting with various combinations on the line looking for consistency. Among those battling for playing time are seniors Phoe-nix Medina and Anthony Evans, along with junior Cuatro Kohler and sophomore Carlos Rodriguez.
Looking for playing time will be youngsters like Dante Medina, Deon Jacobo, Michael Mills, Jesus Abundis, Lor-dan Lopez, Cody Newman, Lawrence Martinez, Carlos
Rodriguez, Joseph Rodriguez, Samuel Melendez and Omar Munoz.
On the defensive side of the ball, the Mustangs have seven returnees and McKinney said he feels Nixon-Smi-ley is in pretty good shape. “I think we’ll be OK on de-fense, we’ve got all our linebackers back and we have our

NIXON — The Lady Mustangs and second-year head coach Kim Payne realize they might not always have the talent or the height that some of the teams they play do.
They will just have to compensate with good work ethic and a good attitude.
“We know we have to work hard because we don’t have all the talent in the world,” Payne said. “But we can make up with defense and other areas that other teams struggle in.”
Seniors on the team are Miranda Carrillo, Aliyah Moore, Nancy Hernandez, Maria Orta and Megan Guer-ra.
Payne said N-S is struggling with playing as a team which will be very important if the Lady ‘Stangs want to turn a corner in 2014.
Guerra will handle majority of the setting for N-S; out-side hitters will be Lexi Trammell, Kaela Warzecha, Ty-hana Mejia and Orta.
Middle blockers are Carrillo and Moore; libero is Ce-
leste Arriaga and Hernadez will play back row.Payne said Mejia and Trammell are flexible in what po-
sitions they can play at.Amanda Munoz is also the N-S roster for the season.N-S had the likes of Shiner St. Paul, Yorktown, Cuero,
Kenedy, Jourdanton, UC Randolph and Luling in non-district as well as tournament action in Shiner, Schulen-

safeties back,” he said. “If we can get some guys up front to take the pressure off the linebackers and keep some pres-sure on the quarterback, we should be fine.”
Ramos, last year’s leading tackler, is the anchor of the linbebacker corps. McKinney is also expecting big things from Scarborough at the OLB spot, where he was involved in several of last season’s big plays.
The safeties, Newman and Moore, also inspire confi-dence.
“They give us a little speed back there,” he said. “The big thing for our defense is, we’ve got to apply some pressure and not give up the big play. Our offense isn’t designed to make up big plays, but if we can stay competitive we can win games.”
Special teams are always a bugaboo for small schools, and McKinney said this year’s Mustangs will put a special emphasis on the kicking game.
“We’re going to be putting our best kids out there,” he said. “Normally you rest your starters on special teams, but we need them. That’s the problem, a lot of them are going both ways, so you have to find time to give them a breather.”

WAELDER —With just one senior and then a majority of freshmen, the Waelder volleyball team is about as youthful as you can get.
That is going to bring on a season of growing pains and matu-rity, and it will be even more challenging as Waelder is one of the toughest 2A districts in the state. Powerhouses Schulenburg, Wei-mar , Ganado and Shiner are mixed with Flatonia, Louise, Prairie Lea and Waelder.
“This is basically a junior high team taking the likes of Schul-enburg, Weimar and Shiner in one of the toughest districts in the state,” first-year head coach Joel Williams said. “This team is going to take their lumps and learn how to play high school volleyball.”
Waelder fielded a team in 2013 but the team was discontinued due to not enough players midway through the season.
Williams said the Lady Wildcats are resilient and courageous for signing up for a difficult task.
One of the things he wants to see is Waelder learn the concept of teamwork.
“I want us to be able to play as a team,” Williams said. “We do that and we can surprise some people. We have some individu-als on this team with some real talent but they play as individuals and not as a team. In junior high
volleyball, they did not have to play as a team and this is a new concept for them.”
“It is a building process and we know it could take this entire year to learn how to play and to respond as a team. Playing in a tough district is the best way to learn.”
Monica Bracmontes is Waelder’s senior and is considered by Williams to be the most experience player on his roster.
“Monica is coming into her own because she probably has not ever been called to being a leader,” he said. “It is a role she will have to grow into but she is doing pretty well.”
“It can be hard to handle sometimes,” Bracmontes said. “But by showing my teammates what to do and helping them, when I leave, the next person coming up will be able to fill my shoes and teach them.”
“Our goal as players is to get continue to get better and work as a team.”
Bracmontes will be Waelder’s main setter with Ashlynn Noyola and Kanya Walker playing the position in some cases as well.
Rounding out the rest of the team is Laisha Rangel, Keanna Porter, Keshaya Moore, Malorie Puente, Kashanna Durst, Nashai Thompson, Alexis Porter, Yasmin Porter, Daniela Nina, Ladeln Gonzalez and Kadie Benitz.
In non-district, Waelder has Bastrop Consolidated, Victoria Cobra Homeschool, Hallettsville Sacred Heart and Weimar. They
were in a tournament at Victoria East.The Lady ‘Cats also will play an away match against the team
from the Texas Youth Commission’s Ron Jackson State Juvenile Correctional Complex in Brownwood, a facility that helps young female juvenile offenders.
Williams said he would like to see Ron Jackson’s team come to Waelder next year and wants to hold a special event such as a meal and other festivities to demonstrate love and kindness to the Ron Jackson players.
Waelder learning how to play as a team will help them stay as competitive as possible, Williams said.

Football Preview: St. Paul Cardinals
Cardinals retool followinguncharacteristic 2-8 year
SHINER — You have to experience in or-der to get experienced.
Last year, the Shiner St. Paul Cardinals were a young and inexperienced team. They had to experience a 2-8 season in order to acquire experience to use in 2014.
“We had a really young team last year and we have most of those kids back. We look like we have aged,” Cardinals head coach Jake Wachsmuth said. “We are very excited about the potential this year.”
Like any football squad, St. Paul needs to stay health as it has less than 40 players on the roster.
“We have good kids; we just have to make sure they are healthy throughout the sea-son,” he said.
St. Paul ended 2013 on a bright note, win-ning their last two games.
Wachsmuth said he wants the Cardinals to keep that mini-streak alive.
“We want to start this year like we fin-ished last year. We want to go out and win the first game,” he said. “If we win and start off well, that will build our confidence.”
Without the first game being played, the Cardinals have been improving every day with literally every single player.
“We are further ahead right now than we have ever been because they remember things,” Wachsmuth said.
He said 2013 was tough because St. Paul had just two seniors. They will have over double that with five this year —Kurt Chun-da, Sam Wenske, Kyle Chunda, Kolten Ken-esek and Connor Pruett
St. Paul will stay with their balanced I-formation attack.

SHINER — New St. Paul volleyball coach Kayla Nathro is looking to take the Lady Cardinals into the playoffs and back to the state championship.
“The girls have the potential to make state and I want to do everything I can to help them achieve it,” she said.
Nathro will carry a total of seven seniors on the 2014 sqaud although not every one of them have varsity experience.
St. Paul’s seniors are Victoria Kusak, Cas-sidy Thomas, Destiny Garza, Elise Patek, Isabella Crawford, Abby Irvin and Morgan Hull.
Irvin, Kusak and Patek all played on the varsity team last year.
Two other players that played varsity in
2013 are Jenna Williams and Ashlyn Patek.Nathro said it will be a little bit of a chal-
lenge since a lot of the Lady Cardinals are not used to varsity-level competition.
“Luckily, they are all hard workers. They have great team chemistry,” she said. “
Kusak, Williams and Mallory Grabarki-etvz are Nathro’s setters. Thomas, Mason, Ashlyn Patek, Morgan Hull and McKenzie Kresta will play the outside hitter spots on
the left side for St. Paul while right-sided hitters are Kenzie Vargo and Irvin.
Elise Patek and Allie Kutac will be in the middle while Emily Pokluda will play as li-bero ,and Garza will join Crawford on the back row.
Nathro said she wants St. Paul to have the mental part of the game done well.
“Even if they do not execute, I want them to do the right thing,” she said. “

kles,” Wachsmuth said.Battling for the quarterback spot will be
Marco Ynclan and Austin Barton. River Haynes could also help out at the spot.
“Austin had a little more experience last year but both will have reps,” Wachsmuth said. “We may end up rotating them because they both have things they do well.”
“Better to have two quarterbacks taking snaps than none.”
Running back TJ Bell was the main ball carrier for St. Paul last year and will be one of several players who get carries.
“We have got seven or eight guys who can run the ball,” he said. “The more guys that are involved, the better.”
“If a defense sees a lot of players that can do things with the ball, it makes things very hard on them.”
Ryan Geiger, Derek Kapavik, Jed Janecek, Conor Kresta, Tre’Zell Jenkins-Perry, Na-than Wagner and Wenske all give St. Paul options at the position.
St. Paul has a diverse offensive line with a couple of freshman, a few sophomores and several underclassmen.
“This is what we like to have on the of-fensive line,” Wachsmuth said. “Last year, we were bottom heavy with freshman and sophomores. This year, we will be more bal-anced.
Leading that offensive line will be Pru-ett, Knesek, Reagan Beal, Dylan Mills and Colton Machart (tight end).
“Those guys all played a lot last year,” he said.
Rounding out the offensive linemen is Braden Barta, Max Patek, Weston Davis, Josh Haymes, Kyle Chunda and Spencer
Yang.Receivers and tight ends will be Eudosio
Garza, Noah Leist, Alex Hull, Andrew Wag-ner, Jaydon Darilek, Jacob Darilek and Na-than Pilat.
St. Paul’s defense was put in a tough spot as the offensive was not always successful at putting enough points on the board.
St. Paul’s defensive line will be filled by most of the offensive line players except Kyle Chunda who is listed to play line-backer. Bell, Hull, Wenske, Jaydon Darilek, Kapavik, Wagner, Kresta and Leist will ro-tate at the linebacker spots.
St. Paul secondary has Ynclan, Barton, Garza, Jenkins-Perry, Geiger, Wagner, Jan-ecek, Haynes, Kurt Chunda, Pilat and Jacob Darilek.
Choices abound at nearly every position on the field for St. Paul.
“I think one of our strengths is we have options at every position. We are just going to let things fall where they may,” Wachs-muth said.
In non-district, St. Paul faces Yorktown, Bryan St. Joseph, Somerville and Flatonia,
For district, St. Paul will see newcom-ers Marble Falls Faith Academy, Austin Texas School for the Deaf and Temple Cen-tral Texas Christian will seeing old friends Schertz John Paul II, San Antonio St. Gerard and Hallettsville Sacred Heart.
The increase in the district size and avail-ability of teams affected St. Paul’s schedule a little.
Wachsmuth said it is good to change up the districts so teams are not playing the same teams in district every single year.
He said it will be exciting to watch the Cardinals continue to get better and better with their hard work.

SHINER — Year in and year out, the Shiner Comanches play one of the toughest non-district schedules for a school their size in the state ... and still usually wind up in the playoffs. Last year, they nearly grabbed the Class 1A Division I state title until a late explosion by Stamford left them with the runner-up trophy by a 41-28 score.
Their reward this season? Getting thrown into a district with powerhouses Refugio, Schulenburg, Weimar, Ganado and Flatonia. And that’s on top of losing a bevy of talented seniors like Jacob Stafford (Air Force) and Marcus Coleman.
A lot of coaches would be wailing the blues, but Shiner’s Steven Cerny just shrugs and dives back in.
“It’s the numbers right now for us, that’s what’s going to get us,” said Cerny. “We’ve got a real small senior and junior class. We’ve only got 21 kids suited out, and we’ve had to bring up seven sophomores. With the strength of our schedule, we’re going to have to have a lot of guys going both ways and we have to try to keep from getting them worn out.”
Taking over the ground duties will be Tyler Patek, who rushed for 155 yards and threw for a TD last season in an understudy role at quarterback. He’ll have a fellow tote-hoss to work with in junior run-ning back Chad Neubauer, who gained 677 yards a season ago as a sophomore.
The pair teamed up at the safety spots last sea-son, but this year they’ll move inside to take over at the all-important linebacker spots, joined by senior returnee Ernie Egan to give the Comanches three solid stoppers in the middle.
“We’ll really have to rely on them, especially early in the year,” Cerny said. “They’re athletic and they’re quick.”
It will be in the secondary that Shiner will have to mature fast, he said.
“We’re really young in the secondary. Justin Stovall is a junior, he’s got a lot of speed, and we’ve brought Dadrian Taylor up, he’s a sophomore who played JV last season,” Cerny said.
It’s not all moans and groans, of course. The Co-manches boast returning All-Stater Dillon Kalina in the front four, and line mates Marcus Rodriguez is a quality veteran at one end as well. Micah Mar-kovsky will see action both ways in the middle as nose guard and center, and Caleb Murrille and Tay-lor Mraz also got some post-seasoning in last year’s

12-3 run.Also look for folks like Alex Bujnoch and Ethan
Zissa to take on key roles.The unenviable role of taking over for Stafford
at quarterback falls to senior Blake Michalec, who played primarily wideout last season. Cerny said he’s confident Michalec will handle the load.
“He’s been doing a real good job so far,” he said. “Patek, he’s not real big but he’s real strong.
It’s the numbers, however, which concern Cerny.“The thing is, will we be able to hold up for a full
game,” he said. “They’re adding the 40-second clock this year, that will help the teams that run the speed game.
“It’s hot early in the year, and the bad part is if we lose somebody (to injury) it’s going to be one of our key guys,” Cerny said.
Nonetheless, Shiner’s record of making the play-offs every year since 1998 is hard to brush off.
“This year it’s more challenging than ever, from the top down,” he said.

It might be a slight year of rebuilding for the Shiner Lady Comanches in 2014.
Shiner lost about six seniors to graduation, including a setter and outside hiiter and in ad-dition, has had one of their libero players suffer a season-ending injury.
But the Lady Comanches do have youthful energy in their arsenal.
“We have some young players who are step-ping up to replace what we lost,” Shiner head coach Desiree Nitsch said. “It is going to take a little time to get them up to speed.”
The Lady Comanches have plenty of firepow-er returning.
Middle blocker Tabitha Blaschke will be one of the key players in Shiner’s bid for another play-off appearance.
“Tabitha really grew strong near the end of district,” Nitsch said.
Jennifer Hartl also made her mark.“Jennifer contributed a lot,” Nitsch said. “She
played on the right side and will add playing in the middle to her resume this season.”
Hartl and Blaschke are Shiner’s tallest players, both eclipsing the six-feet mark.
Jayde Kurtz was one of the backup setters in 2013 but played other positions when Shiner switched to a 5-1 system.
Nitsch said Kurtz will be back as setter for the season.
Shiner will be looking at Bailey Machacek as libero or defensive specialist.
“I might use her as a utility player,” Nitsch said.Sophomores Lauren Schuette and Kassidy
Bishop are two players that could play as outside hitters.
Tamara Hajeck will likely play in defensive situations on the back row and help Shiner on offense.
“Tamara scores lots of points with her serves,” Nitsch said.
Kori Landmann will see action in the middle and right side while Samantha Natal will play middle during some situations.
Alex Flynn will play either back row or on the outside, Nitsch said.
With a mixed team that has seniors and then the rest underclassmen, Shiner will take some time getting used to one another and playing as a team.
Nitsch said the goal will be to have that ac-complished by the time the Lady Comanches start district play.
“Our strengths this year will be defense and our passing,” she said. “We hope we can get our offense going off our passing and defense.”
Shiner will also have a challenge in the district as powerhouse Schulenburg makes an entry. Ri-vals Flatonia as well as Ganado, Weimar, Louise, Waelder and Prairie Lea round out the district.
In non-district, Shiner plays Cuero, Halletts-ville Sacred Heart, Navarro and Karnes City.

LULING — The Luling Eagles have many pluses for 2014 including 13 seniors, two straight playoff appearances un-der head coach Colby Hensley and more speed.
They are also bigger in size on the line which will pro-vide lots of help as the team navigates through the 2014 campaign.
“Our kids have put in a good offseason to be ready for this regular season,” he said.
Luling will be helped greatly if the talented group of se-niors is able to stay healthy and they are hungry for a better run after getting only as far as area in the last two years.
“They work hard and we ask them to do a lot of stuff,” Hensley said. “They step up to the challenge. They are qual-ity leaders that I think will step up.”
Hensley added that the seniors have been playing togeth-
er since he arrived in Luling five years agoThe Eagles have to fill a couple of holes on the team ros-
ter but has made progress in the weeks leading up to the first game against Schulenburg.
“I have a pretty good idea about how most of those are going to be filled and we may have a few things up in the air until the middle of the season,” Hensley said.
Hensley will have seven offensive and six defensive start-

ers that return from an 8-3 (4-2) team that lost in a barn-burner, 43-40 to Aransas Pass.
“Our offensive linemen are big; we have some skilled guys that can go so we have a talented group that is also a good recruiting group for colleges,” he said. “
Luling will continue to run a balanced spread offense but with some new wrinkles with the arrival of new offensive coordinator Thomas Knox.
Hensley said three players are being evaluated for quar-terback —Chris Symms, Jarred Zumwalt and Briar Bullock.
“Each has an attribute that you like so it will be a tough decision,” he said.
Brendan Cubit, Shaft Cubit and Dazmen Wright are all slated to carry the football for Luling.
The Eagles’ offensive line will be led by Dontae Green, who is listed at 340 pounds and 6 feet, 5 inches. Roger Miles is 6-2 and 250.
“They are both big and strong,” Hensley said.First-Team All-District Eddie Ordonez will be back on
the line and another spot will be filled with Travis Gibson.Receivers for Luling will be Taylen Moore, who had lots
of reps last year; Desmond Cubit, Colton Hajovsky, Reece Franks and Trevor Grabarkiewitz.
“Our receivers are a salty group,” Hensley said. “Taylen is athletic and quick.”
Hajovsky and Franks both eclipse the 6-0 mark in height.Peyton Roberts will be doing the booting for Luling.Luling will go with the 4-2-5 system on defense. Gibson
and Miles will play on the defensive line to help Caleb Ma-gallanez and Joel Sanchez. Devin Murry will be used in a backup role.
Playing linebacker will be Brendan Cubit, Wright and Jaret Sheffield. Desmond Cubit and Moore are cornerbacks; safeties will be Shaft Cubit and Corey Bermudez.
Hensley said a decision has not been finalized on which player will handle the punting for the Eagles.
The Eagles start things with Schulenburg and continue with Navarro, Blanco, Yoakum and Hallettsville. All of the fore-mentioned schools have had recent success the last couple of years.
Luling will face similar offenses in games against Hal-lettsville and Yoakum. The Eagles tangled with the Brahmas two years ago in the area round.
“It is stiff competition in the first five games,” Hensley said. ‘We will be battle tested by district.”
Luling’s district is composed of San Antonio-area and adjacent teams Universal City Randolph, Marion, Ingram Moore, Comfort and San Antonio Cole.

YOAKUM — With all of the returning weap-ons on offense and the solid players on defense, it seems likely the Yoakum Bulldogs will be in a good position to make the playoffs for a third year in a row.
“They are very excited about their success,” Yoakum head coach Brent Kornegay said. “They know it is a competitive district but we are familiar with some of the teams like Sinton and Cuero.”
The ‘Dogs’ situation in district has changed — Yoakum was moved into the new Class 15-4A in Division II. They will see Cuero, Sinton, Ingleside and Jourdanton.
Because of being in the second division, Yoa-kum will not see the Gonzales Apaches in dis-trict play as the Tribe is Division I.
However, Kornegay and his counterpart at Gonzales, Kodi Crane, still worked out a deal where the Apaches and ‘Dogs will play in non-district.
“We do not have anybody that would be con-sidered a cake walk,” he said.
Kornegay said Yoakum returns 16 lettermen and will carry 19 seniors on the team. Yoakum has seven returners on each side of the football.
“The challenge will be developing quality backups,” he said. “We have good depth with three deep at skilled positions and two deep on the lines. Our offensive line will probably be the key for us.”
Yoakum will continue to run a spread offense.Spearheading the ‘Dogs will be quarterback
Tre’Vontae “Tre” Hights” who is dangerous to opposing team with his arm and his legs.
Hights’ talent has been noticed by coaches at the next level and he has made a verbal commit-ment to attend Big 12 school Texas Christian University.
Yoakum is loaded with playmakers on of-fense.
“Tre is going to make plays but we have lots of other kids in the backfield to take the pres-sure off him since everybody knows who he is,” Kornegay said.
Yoakum’s other options at quarterback are Tyler Kornegay and Josh Moore.
At the ‘Dogs’ fullback spots are Travious Hights, Jared Garza, Hunter Lauer and Zach Rodriguez. Tailbacks are Davontay Mathis, Martin Rosales and Dantey Eldridge. Miguel Resendiz, Caden Fishbeck, Paul Garcia and Moore will play as Yoakum’s “Z” backs.
The ‘Dogs will once again have a ton of receiv-ers for the quarterback to pass to.
X receivers are Tyler Kornegay, Travis De-bault and Will Thurmond; Y receivers are Aus-tin McCoy, Glenn Love and Steven Sangster.
Offensive linemen returning from last year are Spencer Brandt (center), Ricky Canseco (left guard) and Krystian Brzozowski (right guard).
Mason Galvan will be right tackle and left tackle will be Trenton Bridges. Players in backup roles are Travis Brandt, Marvin Davis, Cesar Maravilla, Colton Janik, Colt Richards, Ricky Camarillo and Blake Jacobs.
Yoakum does not have to worry about place-kicking as returner Edgar Maravilla will contin-ue in that role. Debault will handle the punting for the ‘Dogs.
Yoakum’s defense will run the odd-man front/’50’ system.
Linemen are Bridges, Davis, Love and Jacobs and backing them up will be Brzozowski, Rich-ards, Galvan, Canseco, Travis Brandt, McCoy, Rodriguez, Cesar Maravilla and Spencer Brandt
Middle linebacker is 2013 All-State selection Ricky Camarillo; Weak-side linebacker is Garza; strong-side linebacker will be Lauer. Other play-ers expected to make contributions at linebacker are Travious Hights, Dylan Belcik, Janik, Resen-diz,
In the secondary, cornerbacks are Dantey El-dridge and Rosales, Fishbeck will be at free safe-ty and Tre Hights is strong safety. Their backups are Garcia, Mathis, Ryan Garza, , Tyler Korne-gay, Debault, Thurmond, Moore and Sangster.

The Yoakum Lady Bulldogs have established quite a tradition of be-ing competitive in district play and qualifying for the playoffs every year.
In 2013, the Lady ‘Dogs came in second place in district 26-3A with an 8-3 mark and were b-district final-ists, falling to Needville 3-2.
This year, Yoakum has a slightly new district as they will continue to be grouped in with rivals Gonzales and Cuero, get reunited with former district opponent La Vernia and will get to know Comal Canyon Lake, Na-varro and Wimberley.
Head coach Alisha Boysen said she feels the Lady ‘Dogs will have to be better in district than what they have been the last several years.
“We are going to have to step up our game and compete with this new district even more,” she said.
Yoakum will have six seniors on the roster, with four returning players/starters and two newcomers to var-sity.
Sheyanne Chumchal, Faith Hagan,
Latrice Brown and Celine Markert all played on varsity last year. McKenzie Heller and Kaitlyn Caka are the new kids on the block with little to no var-sity experience.
Hagan will once again help the Lady ‘Dogs at the setter post; Brandi Evans will be the 2014 libero; outside-hitter roles will be performed by Tori Ra-mert and Chumchal.
Middle players are Brown and Markert with Hanna Smith and Caka playing right side.
Other players for Yoakum are Me’Keilla Eldridge, Kara Pohl, Fran-ny Patek and McKayla Kutzer.
Yoakum’s non-district schedule in-cluded Port Lavaca Calhoun, Rock-port, Industrial, Beeville, Halletts-ville and East Bernard. Tournaments are Columbus, Sinton and Edna.
“Our pre-district schedule is tough because we are playing in some pretty competitive tournaments such as Co-lumbus, Sinton and Edna this year,” Boysen said. “As for the other games, we are up against some great pro-grams and playing these teams will help us get to where we need to be.”

FLATONIA — In 2013, the Flatonia Bulldogs football team qualified for the playoffs for the first time in several years and went all the way to the regional semifinals, losing to rivals Shiner 35-0.
Now, with a sizeable taste of the playoffs, the ‘Dogs are hungry for more success.
“We had 22 lettermen experience playoff football and be a part of a winning football team. Now they are hungry to do it again,” Flatonia head coach Chris Freytag said. “We also did very well in our other sports programs.”
Flatonia will continue to break out a ground-based, power running, option attack.
Junior Braydon Mica and junior Casen Novak are the two battling for the starting quarterback position.
Freytag said Blaine Besetzny could also be an option as the season progresses.
“Casen throws the ball best out of the bunch,” he said. “He is probably the best natural quarterback. Blaine reads the veer really well and Braydon is a smart player who will do whatever you ask of him, and do it to his best ability.”
“I feel comfortable with our depth at quarterback.”Flatonia has Gus Venegas, Omar Castillo, Marcus Mica, San
Juan Ramirez, Matthew Kozelsky and Eddie Manzano available to run the football.
Freytag said Venegas will play both running back and receiver
on offense.In the receiver group is Venegas, Jose Manzano, Kozelsky,
Raul Olmos, Corey Lyons and Samuel Netro.Flatonia will place Netro, Daniel Rodriguez, Kozelsky and
Ramirez at the tight end position.On the offensive line, Lane Janecka will return as center. It will
be his third year as a starter.Tyler Kellis is the right tackle and left tackle will be Jesus Ro-
driguez. Right guard will be Abraham Centeno with Julio Cas-tellano slated as the starter at left guard.
“Our offensive line is where we are going to win games since they all are back,” Freytag said.
Backup players for the line are Luke Freytag, Zechariah Plum-mer and Ryan Kellis
Jose Manzano will handle placekicking while Besetzny could do some g as well. Venegas or Marcus Mica will handle the punting.
Freytag said his main concerns on offense will be quarterback and receiver depth, and depth of the offensive line as well.
On defense, the Bulldogs will be in the 4-3 system.Janecka will be strong-side end along with Jesus Rodriguez.
Weak-side ends will be Clayton Lyons, Ryan Kellis and Luke Freytag.
Defensive tackles will be Castellano, Centeno, Tyler Kellis, Daniel Rodriguez, Cesar Castillo and Jose Robles.
Middle linebacker will be played by Ramirez and Eddie Man-zano while the weakside linebacker will be Marcus Mica and Omar Castillo.
Strong-side linebackers will be Besetzmy and Netro.In the secondary, Olmos and Kozelsky will play the corner-
backs; Novak will be free safety with Braydon Mica and Venegas playing the rover spots. Corey Lyons could play some at rover.
“Our defense has a chance to be really good if we can be quick and physical,” Chris Freytag said. “Our secondary, once they get settled, could be the strongest one we have ever had in my 12 years at Flatonia.
Flatonia is in a tough district with Weimar, Ganado, rivals Shiner, and powerhouses Refugio and Schulenburg.
“A good team will not make the playoffs out of this district,” Chris Freytag said. “Saying our district will be competitive is an understatement; It is going to be brutal.”
FLATONIA — Lady Bulldog volleyball coach Kaylyn Boenisch is not shying away from wanting a lot from her players for the 2014 season.
“I have big expectations for this season,” she said. “We have not made the playoffs for the past two years and we are shooting for them this year.”
The Lady ‘Dogs get Ganado, Shiner, Schulenburg, Wei-mar, Louise, Waelder and Prairie Lea in the district sched-ule.
Schulenburg and Weimar are considered to be the top two teams in the district with the third spot a tossup among the remaining teams.
Boenisch has five seniors on the roster for 2014 — Mae-cie Mikulenka, Jaycee Fike, Kimberlyn Michalec, Kylie Mica and Alanis Ribera.
Flatonia will need to perfect serve-receive, passing and defensive play to be successful in 2014.
The Lady ‘Dogs are solid on attacking and hitting.Ribera, returning setter, and Miksch will be the Flatonia
setters. Miksch is new to the position, having played 2013 as an outside hitter.\
Mica will be the libero, and Amy Koncaba and Fike will be the defensive specialists.
Fernanda Torres and Rachel Steinhauser are the outside hitters. Savannah Flood, Maggie Mica, Miksch and Mi-chalec will play as middle blocker.
Michalec, Flood and Kylie Mica will also play on the back row.
This year’s non-district schedule saw Flatonia play in Shiner, Schulenburg and Rice tournaments, and play Hal-lettsville, Rice, Sealy, Shiner St. Paul, Runge and Halletts-ville Sacred Heart.
The Flatonia program is putting out very positive vibes
about the season.“There is a lot of positive energy going on this year,” she
said. “We are having fun and there is a lot of excitement to be revealed.
