Local home-school student addresses Borger City Council
By April Davis(806) 273-5612
BORGER, TX - During a recent city council meet-ing, eight year old home-school student, Jayce Gor-don, spoke to the council.
During the public com-
ments portion of the meet-ing, Gordon boldly ap-proached the microphone and addressed the council.
“I would like to thank you all for coming out,” Gordon started. “My name is Jayce Gordon. I am a homeschooler in the town
of Borger and since this is the week of Thanksgiving, I would like to say that I’m thankful for Mayor Dickson and this council from the City of Borger. I hope you all have a happy holiday and thank you for coming out today.”
With his declaration of thanks and calm demean-or, Gordon spoke with a confidence rarely seen.
Several council mem-bers thanked Gordon for his presence at the meet-ing.
“We have so much to be
thankful for,” stated May-or Marvin “Bubba” Dick-son. “To hear that from someone so young, that’s neat. I think it would be an honor for all of us to take a picture with you.”
Gordon spoke briefly with the Borger News-
Herald after council meet-ing and expressed a future interest in politics.
“My name is Jayce Al-exander and I’ve been ho-meschooling since I was two years old,” Gordon declared.

Sarah SaysDear Sarah,It is the holiday season and one of the best
times of the year. Every year, my family and I host Thanksgiving and Christmas at my mother’s house. This is an extremely stressful time for my mother. She believes her house is never perfect enough, and her food will never compare to others. This anxi-ety puts a real kink in the holiday cheer my family seeks because she seems like she just can’t slow down and realize her house actually is clean, and her food is amazing. How can we help her get back the happiness of the season? How can we get her to slow down and see the parties are about spending time with family, not worrying about the one speck of dust on the mantle?
Signed, Stressed-out Daughter
Dear Stressed-out Daughter,Your mom wants the holiday season to be spe-
cial for your family, and this is her way of ensuring that happens. Tell your mom you appreciate all she does; then, see if you can help lighten the load so she can relax and enjoy the time with your fam-ily. Having a clean house and good food is your mom’s way of expressing her love. Tell your mom that spending time with her and making memories is what matters the most to your family.
Signed, Sarah

Landon was born on February 18, 1978 in Lib-eral, Kansas to Bill and Vicki (Shedeck) Wilson. He grew up in Fritch, Texas and graduated from Sanford-Fritch High School in 1996. While in
school, Landon was active in sports and band. He went on to attend both Frank Phillips College in Borger, Tex-as and West Texas A&M University in Canyon, Texas. Landon’s career was in management and later the oil industry. Landon was a Baptist.
Landon’s number one love in life was his son Gavin. The two would spend time shooting and playing catch. He loved watching Gavin excel in sports, especially Borger Bulldog Baseball. He also loved to watch Texas Ranger Baseball, The Astros, and The Dallas Cowboys and loved to visit with his parents about his favorite teams. Landon was a loving and giving person and would help anyone in need.
He was preceded in death by grandparents: Richard and Colleen Shedeck and Bill and Lorene Wilson and three uncles: Mike Shedeck, Kurt Shedeck, and Chuck Conyers.
Survivors include: his parents, Bill and Vicki Wilson of Fritch, Texas;a son, Gavin Wilson of Borger, Texas; a sister, Carmen Brown and husband Jim of Rockwall, Texas; two aunts, Connie Shedeck of Pampa, Texas and Shirley Conyers of Lyton Springs, Texas;an uncle, Ron Wilson and wife Judy of Houston, Texas; a niece, Julia Brown and a nephew, Gregory Brown, both of Rock-wall, Texas; and several cousins.
Landon Wilson will lie in state at Brown Funeral Chapel, Fritch, Texas on Monday, November 27, 2017 from 9AM-7PM. The family will receive friends from 5PM-7PM.
Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, Novem-ber 28, 2017, at 2:00 PM, at the First United Methodist Church in Fritch, Texas. Pastor Terry Porter of Borger, Texas and Pastor Jerry Don Cheshire of Fritch, Texas will be the Officiants.

His mother confirmed that Jayce did in fact begin school at the tender age of two years.
“He was a very busy boy and was ready, so we got him started,” she stated.
“I skipped kindergarten and started school in the first grade,” Gordon said with a big smile. Gordon uses Mas-ters Book for his at home based learning and is currently in the third grade.
Gordon’s recent visit to city hall will not be the last. He has a keen interest in city government and learned who the members of the Borger City Council are by reading.
“I looked at a book and I’m interested in being a city council member when I’m old enough. I enjoy politics sometimes so I might when I grow up.”
Gordon’s favorite subject is Science and says he has “been studying about the stars and the relative move-ment and the Earth’s movement is rotation and revolu-tion.”

A number of issues are on the agenda, includ-ing reviews of the county’s library system, jail, and courthouse building. The county library has seen less publicity since its Borger Branch was repaired after a wall collapse in 2015, however a number of displays and features of the library are still being shuffled as a result of the repairs, and may be dis-cussed. The bigger concern for the commissioners will likely be the county jail, which continues to face challenges in upkeep and maintenance, even as regional crime continues to place a dispropor-tionate strain on the relatively small facility.
Also of note, the Commissioners will be consid-ering a raise for Democrat and Republican Clerks and Judges at a rate of $2.00 per hour and $4.00 respectively as the county and nation as a whole move into the off-year party primary season.

Thought for Today: “You must be in tune with the times and pre-pared to break with tradition.” — James Agee, American author, poet and critic (born this date in 1909, died 1955).
Does cellphone-sweeping ‘StingRay’ technology go too far?
NEW YORK (AP) — New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago and Las Vegas are among scores of police departments across the country quietly using a highly secretive technology developed for the military that can track the whereabouts of suspects by using the signals constantly emitted by their cellphones.
Civil liberties and pri-vacy groups are increas-ingly raising objections to the suitcase-sized devices known as StingRays or cell site simulators that can sweep up cellphone data from an entire neigh-borhood by mimicking cell towers. Police can determine the location of a phone without the user even making a call or sending a text mes-sage. Some versions of the technology can even intercept texts and calls, or pull information stored on the phones.
Part of the problem, privacy experts say, is the devices can also collect data from anyone within a
small radius of the person being tracked. And law enforcement goes to great lengths to conceal usage, in some cases, offering plea deals rather than divulging details on the StingRay.
“We can’t even tell how frequently they’re being used,” said attor-ney Jerome Greco, of the Legal Aid Society, which recently succeeded in blocking evidence col-lected with the device in a New York City murder case. “It makes it very diffi cult”
At least 72 state and local law enforcement departments in 24 states plus 13 federal agen-cies use the devices, but further details are hard to come by because the departments that use them must take the unusual step of signing nondisclosure agreements overseen by the FBI.
An FBI spokeswoman said the agreements, which often involve the Harris Corporation, a defense contractor that
makes the devices, are intended to prevent the release of sensitive law enforcement informa-tion to the general public. But the agreements don’t prevent an offi cer from telling prosecutors the technology was used in a case.
In New York, use of the technology was virtually unknown to the public until last year when the New York Civil Liberties Union forced the disclosure of records showing the NYPD used the devices more than 1,000 times since 2008. That included cases in which the technology helped catch suspects in kidnappings, rapes, rob-beries, assaults and mur-ders. It has even helped fi nd missing people.
But privacy experts say such gains come at too high a cost.
“We have a Fourth Amendment to the Con-stitution,” said Jennifer Lynch, an attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, referring to
the protection against unreasonable search and seizure. “Our Founding Fathers decided when they wrote the Bill of Rights there had to be limits placed on govern-ment.”
Lawmakers in several states have introduced proposals ranging from warrant requirements to an outright ban on the technology; about a dozen states already have laws requiring warrants. Fed-eral law enforcement said last year that it would be routinely required to get a search warrant before using the technology — a fi rst effort to create a uniform legal standard for federal authorities.
And case law is slowly building. Two months ago, a Washington, D.C., appeals court overturned a conviction on a sex assault after judges ruled a violation of the Fourth
Amendment because of evidence improperly col-lected from the simulator without a proper warrant.
In the New York mur-der case argued by the Le-gal Aid Society, a judge in Brooklyn last month ruled that the NYPD must have an eavesdropping warrant signed by a judge to use the device, a much higher bar than the “reason-able suspicion” standard that had previously been required.
“By its very nature, then, the use of a cell site simulator intrudes upon an individual’s reasonable expectation of privacy, acting as an instrument of eavesdropping and requires a separate war-rant supported by prob-able cause,” wrote state Supreme Court Judge Martin Murphy.
New York City police offi cials disagreed with the ruling and disputed
that a StingRay was even used in the case, even though there had been a court order to do so. Police offi cials also said they have since started requiring a higher stander of probable cause when applying for the devices.
Legal Aid Society’s Greco said he hoped the ruling will push the na-tion’s largest department into meeting the higher standard, and help judges better understand the in-tricacies of more cutting-edge surveillance.
“We’re hoping we can use this decision among other decisions being made across the country to show that this logic is right,” Greco said. “Part of an issue we’re facing with technology, the judg-es don’t understand it. It makes it easier if another judge has sat down and really thought about it.”

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be patient with family
members early this morning. Fortunate-ly, as the day wears on, you encounter fun times, and possibly even romance!
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Be careful this morning,
because this is an accident-prone time for you. Be patient and diplomatic with others. Later in the day, relationships with family members are warm and lov-ing.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Early in the morning,
guard your possessions and cash to pre-vent loss, theft or breakage. However, the rest of the day is upbeat and fun!
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Something unexpected
will affect your world early in the morning. Small appliances might break down - or perhaps you are simply out of coffee? Look for ways to boost your income later today.
LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Something might upset
you in the early morning. Fortunately, it is quickly gone. Later today, you will love to travel and explore new places and learn new things.
VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A discussion with a female
friend might upset you this morning. Don’t let this get you down, because the rest of the day is quite pleasant. It hap-pens.
LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You might have difficulty
with parents or bosses early this morn-ing. Not to worry, because a good friend will help you enjoy the rest of the day.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Travel plans or perhaps
school plans will be interrupted this morning. You will have to make adjust-ments - this is a certainty. An authority figure will help you later in the day.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Double-check banking
details and anything to do with shared property early this morning. Something unexpected might occur. Later in the day, travel appeals.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Arguments with partners
and close friends are likely in the early morning. As the day wears on, you feel better and better. In fact, you might get a gift or a favor from someone.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Your work routine will be
interrupted in the morning. Something might be canceled or broken. Relation-ships with others will smooth the way for you later in the day.
PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This morning is an ac-
cident-prone time for kids, so be extra vigilant. Likewise, romantic partners might quarrel. Ironically, all is well later in the day.

EL PASO, Texas (AP) — Family, friends and law enforcement officers converged on an adobe Catholic church in El Paso, Texas, Saturday to mourn a Border Patrol agent whose death last weekend in the rugged and remote Big Bend area has not been explained.
Bagpipes played as Border Patrol pallbearers in green uniforms
carried the U.S. flag-draped coffin of Rogelio Martinez, 36, into Our Lady of Guadalupe Church for a private funeral Mass. He died in a hospital Sunday of head and other injuries.
“It honors him to see law enforcement agencies from across the United States” attend the service, Border Patrol spokesman Ramiro
Cordero told reporters outside the church.
Martinez was found Nov. 18 in a culvert along with his seriously injured partner, whose name has not been released, in a rugged area near Van Horn, about 30 miles (50 kilometers) from the border with Mexico and 110 miles (175 kilometers) southeast of El Paso.
Funeral held for US border agent whose death not explained
Attorney General Jeff Session was scheduled to attend the funeral but it was not clear if he was there. Following the funeral, a graveside ceremony was held at Restlawn Cemetery in El Paso.
Speculation about the cause of death has run rampant with several politicians saying the agent was attacked, including President Donald Trump, who used the death to highlight his support for building a
wall on the border with Mexico. Special Agent in Charge Emmerson Buie Jr. in the FBI’s El Paso office has said investigators were treating the incident as a “potential assault,” but they could not rule out other scenarios.
R e p r e s e n t a t i v e s from the border patrol’s union have insisted that the incident was an attack, based on the accounts of other agents who responded to the scene. Chris
Cabrera, a spokesman for the National Border Patrol Council, told The Associated Press that agents responding to the scene called it “grisly.”
After the death of Martinez, his father told the El Paso Times that his son loved his job. Jose Martinez said his son would call him every day to say goodbye for the night.
“And I would tell him, ‘Take care of yourself son. God bless you,’” the father said.
Conyers steps aside from Judiciary post amid sex allegations
W A S H I N G T O N (AP) — Michigan Rep. John Conyers, under investigation over allegations he sexually harassed female staff members, said Sunday he will step aside as the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee while fiercely denying he acted inappropriately during his long tenure in Congress.
In a statement, the 88-year-old lawmaker made clear he would prefer to keep his leadership role on the committee, which has wide jurisdiction over U.S. law enforcement, from civil rights and impeachment of federal officials to sexual harassment protections.
But Conyers a c k n o w l e d g e d maintaining the post would be a distraction “in light of the attention drawn by recent allegations made against me.”
“I have come to believe that my presence as ranking member on the committee would not
serve these efforts while the Ethics Committee investigation is pending,” he said. “I cannot in good conscience allow these charges to undermine my colleagues in the Democratic Caucus, and my friends on both sides of the aisle in the Judiciary Committee and the House of Representatives.”
Denying the allegations, Conyers, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus who was first elected to the House in 1964, urged lawmakers to allow him “due process.”
“I very much look forward to vindicating myself and my family,” Conyers said.
News website BuzzFeed reported last Monday that Conyers’ office paid a woman more than $27,000 under a confidentiality agreement to settle a complaint in 2015 that she was fired from his Washington staff because she rejected his sexual advances. BuzzFeed also published affidavits from former staff members who
said they had witnessed Conyers touching female staffers inappropriately — rubbing their legs and backs — or requesting sexual favors.
Conyers says he will fully cooperate with the Ethics Committee, which said it will review the allegations of harassment and age discrimination as well as using “official resources for impermissible personal purposes.”
At least one House Democrat, Rep. Kathleen Rice of New York, has called on Conyers to step down from Congress. Two others, Rep. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., who is a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, as well as Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz., co-chairman of the largest group of congressional liberals, had said Conyers should at least step aside from his leadership role on the Judiciary committee.
In a statement Sunday, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi said she
welcomed Conyers’ decision to give up the committee leadership post.
“Zero tolerance means consequences,” Pelosi said. “Any credible accusation must be reviewed by the Ethics Committee expeditiously. We are at a watershed moment on this issue, and no matter how great an individual’s legacy, it is not a license for harassment. “
The California Democrat noted that the House in the coming week will vote on requiring anti-harassment and anti-discrimination training for all members and their staffs. She suggested that nondisclosure agreements like the one Conyers signed to settle the 2015 complaint should be made public.
The Senate has already approved a measure requiring all senators, staff and interns to be trained on preventing sexual harassment.
The flurry of activity Sunday comes as Congress prepares to return from its Thanksgiving break, amid increasing attention on the issue of sexual harassment with multiple
men in entertainment, media and politics facing allegations of misconduct. On the congressional level, Democratic Sen. Al Franken of Minnesota and Republican Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore also are the subject of accusations.
Earlier Sunday, Pelosi defended Conyers as an “icon” for women’s rights and told NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he will do the “right thing.”
“This is about going forward,” she said. “We also have to address it for every person, every workplace in the country, not just in the Congress of the United States. And that’s very important. And a good deal of that would be done by the Judiciary Committee.”
Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., is the next most-senior Democrat on the Judiciary Committee after Conyers, the only African-American to have held the position of chairman or ranking member on the panel.
“Even under these unfortunate circumstances, the important work of the Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee
must move forward,” Nadler said. “I will do everything in my power to continue to press on the important issues facing our committee, including criminal justice reform, workplace equality, and holding the Trump administration accountable.”
“Ranking Member Conyers has a 50-year legacy of advancing the cause of justice, and my job moving forward is to continue that critical work,” he added.
Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., who sponsored legislation to overhaul the system by which sexual complaints are made and settled on Capitol Hill, said Congress must show a greater commitment to addressing sexual misconduct. Last month, she shared her own story of being sexually assaulted by a high-level aide while she was a staffer.
“This is absolutely a priority that we must focus on in terms of fixing the system,” she said on ABC’s “This Week.” ‘’We say zero tolerance, but I don’t believe that we put our money where our mouths are.”
France to tackle violence on women; Italy grapples with same
PARIS (AP) — French President Emmanuel Macron on Saturday launched an initiative to combat violence and harassment against women in France, aiming to erase a sense of shame that breeds silence among victims and changing what he said is the country’s sexist culture.
In a nearly hour-long speech at the Elysee Presidential Palace, Macron noted that 123 women died in attacks against them in France last year. Holding a moment of silence for them, he declared: “It is time for shame to change camps.”
In neighboring Italy, the head of the Chamber of Deputies marked International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women by noting with dismay that the “Weinstein case” hasn’t inspired women to
speak out on workplace harassment or assault like it has in the United States and other parts of Europe.
Laura Boldrini was referring to the onslaught of revelations after sexual harassment and assault allegations against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein were made public.
“The Weinstein case lifted the lid on the shame of (sexual) abuse” in the glamorous world of U.S. cinema, “setting off an avalanche in many other areas of society,” Boldrini said, addressing a special gathering in which all the 630 seats, usually occupied by lawmakers in Parliament’s lower house, were instead filled by guests who came to speak of their rebellion against being victims of men.
Among the invited: a woman who survived being stabbed repeatedly
in the back by an ex-beau; the mother of a college student who was strangled and her corpse set ablaze by her former lover after she broke up with him; a woman whose child was slain by her estranged husband to avenge their failed marriage; a Moroccan immigrant whose abusive husband burned down their home after she found the courage to flee to safety with their children; a Nigerian who was trafficked into a prostitution ring the day she set foot in Italy.
Boldrini lamented that Italy hasn’t seen a similar outpouring of accusations of workplace harassment.
“In Italy, this certainly hasn’t had the same effect,” she said, adding: I’d like to think that this has happened because there aren’t molesters, but I’m afraid that’s not the way it is.”
She explained the tendency toward silence, including about rape, saying that women “know that in this country there persists a strong prejudice against them” in terms of their credibility.
In France, Macron’s plan would encourage women to take action, strengthen laws against offenders and educating citizens on the issue — starting from nursery school.
He noted that violence takes on other forms, notably in the workplace, a result of inequality and a false sense of men’s superiority.
“What should be sanctuaries today becomes a hunting ground simply because (men) can use ... age, authority, their post, or simply force,” the French president said.
But Macron cautioned against France becoming a society where every interaction between a man and a woman can come under suspicion. “We are not a Puritan
society,” he said.Among proposed
measures, Macron said legal complaints will be rushed through the system, and the statute of limitations for suspected sexual crimes against minors would be moved to 30 years from 20 currently as part of a bill to be presented in 2018.
Macron also wants to rectify “intolerable ambiguities” in the penal code surrounding the legal age of consent. Outrage followed a ruling in an assault case that an 11-year-old was of the age of consent. He suggested the age of 15 — the legal age of sexual adulthood in France, and the age at which Macron met his future wife, Brigitte, his school’s drama teacher.
To encourage more women to speak out, Macron said that from the start of next year, an online alarm system will be set up for instant contact with police.
Nursery school teachers will be trained to address “non-negotiable”
equality between the sexes.
Macron said violence against women is most often committed where women “should feel protected” — be it at home, in the street or in the office — and the “deafening silence” must end.
Several of those inspiring other women in Italy to refuse to accept violence at the hands of male companions or relatives, carry their scars of being attacked themselves, like Lucia Annibali, a lawyer whose face was devoured by acid tossed by two attackers hired by her ex-boyfriend, and who now advises the Italian government on legislature measures such as anti-stalking laws.
This rebellion by women marks a stunning turnaround in Italy, where a generation ago, the Italian penal code prescribed lenient prison sentences for men who killed women out of jealousy or to preserve “family honor.”

No. 2 Texas beats Washington 92-68LAS VEGAS (AP) —
For a game and about a quarter, the Texas Long-horns seemed to be in a slow cruise control at the Las Vegas Shootout.
Finally, the Long-horns turned it on to a higher gear against Washington on Satur-day and showed why they are ranked No. 2 in the nation.
Texas used a 20-0 fi rst-half run as the Longhorns pulled away in a 92-68 victory at the South Point Arena.
Junior Jatarie White was 10 of 12 from the fi eld and scored 24 points along with seven rebounds to lead Texas (5-0). Brooke McCarty added 15 points, six re-bounds and six assists as the Longhorns shot 57 percent from the fi eld.
On Friday, the Long-horns defeated LSU, but only by a 75-66 margin.
“I thought our atten-tion to detail was better today,” said Texas coach Karen Aston, whose team never trailed. “Playing people’s ten-dencies, and paying at-tention to the detail of the scouting reports was better. We got a little lax in the fourth quar-ter, but I wanted those young kids in the game because they can get some teaching lessons. They’re talented and they need to learn in the moment.”
The only negative for the Longhorns Saturday was 20 turnovers, 12 in the fi rst half.
“That’s too many,” Aston said. “I thought in the fi rst half it took us a while to adjust to their playing style. I thought we did way better in the second half.”
Lashann Higgs and Alecia Sutton each had 10 points for the Long-horns.
Amber Melgoza led Washington (2-3) with 12 points. Alex-is Griggsby added 10 points, while Hannah Johnson had nine points and fi ve rebounds for the Huskies.
“(Texas is) talent-ed,” Washington coach Jody Wynn said. “It’s just not Ariel Atkins and (Brooke) McCarty. McCarty is the fastest guard I’ve ever coached against. White was re-ally big and strong in there. They’re deep.”
For the fi rst 4 min-utes, the Huskies kept it close.
“I thought we really got good looks early,” Wynn said. “We had a couple 3s that just didn’t go down. If we make a couple 3s, it could give us some confi dence. We got in some foul trouble. In the fi rst half, we had four players with two fouls and we had to sit them.”
BIG PICTURETexas: After a home
game against Louisi-ana Tech this Thursday, Texas may get tested as it travels to face two SEC teams in Georgia and Tennessee on back-to-back Sundays in early
December.Washington: This
week, the Huskies played two top 10 teams with no success, the other was at No. 9 Ohio State last Sunday. The Huskies split their two games at the Shootout this weekend, escaping on Friday with a 67-64 win over Creighton.
TURNING POINT: After leading 10-9, the Longhorns went on a 20-0 run over the next 7:12. The lead eventu-ally grew to 32 points early in the fourth quar-ter.
STATS OF THE NIGHT: From the fi eld, the Longhorns shot 35 of 61. Meanwhile, the Huskies were 26 of 66 (39 percent). Texas outscored the Huskies 44-30 in the paint. The Longhorns had 26 as-sists to the Huskies’ 16.
LAS VEGAS WEEK-END: Also at the shoot-out was No. 5 UCLA. But Texas and UCLA agreed not to meet. UCLA and Washington also did not meet, due to two Pac-12 conference meetings. Each team played two games on Friday and Saturday.
SERIES HISTORY: The series is now 3-3. This was their fi rst meet-ing since Dec. 1997, when the Huskies won in Seattle.
UP NEXT:Texas: The Long-
horns host Louisiana Tech on Thursday.
Washington: The Huskies travel to Idaho.

Tech improves to 6-0 with 103-69 win over Savannah St.LUBBOCK, Texas
(AP) — Texas Tech withstood the pressure defense and the barrage of 3-point shots to stay undefeated while the freshmen keep produc-ing for the Red Raiders.
Hometown freshman guard Jarrett Culver had 18 points and Zhaire Smith, another of Tech’s seven freshmen, had 17 points on 7-of-8 shoot-ing with a handful of dunks in a 103-69 win over Savannah State on Saturday.
“I feel real comfort-able. Coaches believe in me and the players be-lieve in me. I give them all the credit,” said Cul-ver, who was coming off a 21-point game three days earlier. “They give me the ball ... I just try my best to make a play, practice a lot and every-thing ties in together. Just playing aggressive and stay focused.”
Niem Stevenson also had 18 points for the Red Raiders (6-0), who led throughout after scoring the game’s fi rst eight points and have won all of their games by double-fi gure mar-gins. Justin Gray capped that opening spurt with a dunk after he had al-ready made two free throws and had a tip-in basket.
“I knew it was going to be a challenging game because of their style of play,” second-year Tech coach Chris Beard said. “A non-traditional game for us, but I think it’s a game that can pay divi-dends down the line.”
John Grant Jr. had 18 points on 7-of-10 shoot-ing with four made 3-pointers for Savan-nah State (2-5). The Ti-gers were 10 of 41 on 3-pointers.
When Tigers coach Horace Broadnax was
asked if they planned to shoot that many from long range, he sounded surprised they didn’t have more. He said his team has taken nearly 60 3-pointers in a game.
“We want good looks. The thing about it, it looks ugly and playing against quality oppo-nents, it’s going to look ugly,” Broadnax said.
Along with his dunks and points, Smith had fi ve assists and four rebounds while play-ing 19 minutes. Bran-done Francis added 10 points.
“Playing aggres-sive and me running the fl oor,” Smith said. “When some of my teammates get the ball, just run. That’s we prac-tice on, just run and get easy buckets.”
BIG PICTURESavannah State:
The Tigers allowed more than 100 for the
third time this season. They’ve scored that many twice.
Texas Tech: With a mix of fi ve seniors and seven freshmen, the Red Raiders have found a nice mix early on. They could be in line to break into the AP Top 25 poll on Monday. Texas Tech was the second team in others receiving votes in the latest poll, and did what it was supposed to do this week with a pair of lopsided victories against overmatched opponents.
TIP-INSTexas Tech had 30
assists on his 39 made fi eld goals. “It’s real fun doing that sharing the ball,” Smith said. “That motivates us and that brings energy.”... The Red Raiders had 18 offensive rebounds, matching the number of defensive rebounds by Savannah State.
TAKING IN A GAME
Just a day after the Red Raiders football team won at Texas for its sixth win to get bowl eligible, coach Kliff Kingsbury was in the stands watching Beard’s team. Before that win over Texas, there had been questions about Kingsbury’s future, but school offi cials said af-terward said Kingsbury would be back next sea-son.
“Are y’all going to give the football coach a raise,” Broadnax said as he wrapped up his post-game comments. “Hey man, he beat Texas.”
UP NEXTSavannah State has
another diffi cult game, going to No. 6 Wichita State on Tuesday night.

Juggling through ThanksgivingBy Courtney MarrsSports Editor
Over the Thanks-giving holiday, Justin Cooper from Albuquer-que came to Borger to visit friends and fam-ily. While visiting, he revealed that he has a talent of an uncommon sport. This unusual sport is juggling.
Mr. Cooper has been juggling about 20 years and was originally taught by his neighbor. He says you have to start with one ball and get the rhythm of throwing and catching, then you slow-ly add in more balls, one at a time. Cooper says timing is the most importing thing in jug-gling. It takes an amaz-ing amount of hand eye
coordination. He says he can juggle up to 5 balls at a time.
Cooper’s visit result-ed in a few other people coming out and showing off their skills. On a pre-vious visit to Albuquer-que, he taught 18 year old Erin Peterson how to juggle as well. Peterson has been practicing and now can successfully juggle 3 balls at a time. She said she tries to practice regularly. She said it relieves boredom and also keeps her hand and eye coordination sharp and fast.
During the visit, Ja-son Miller also revealed he learned how to juggle about a year ago. He said he is self taught and also learned how to juggle out of boredom. He can
do simple maneuvers but is very successful with what he has learned. He said he enjoys jug-gling to entertain his 5 year old daughter. “Ma-riah thinks it’s funny to watch and enjoys seeing me do it,” Miller stated.
Cooper did his best to teach other members of the group how to juggle, but it is a hard sport to pick up quickly. Michael Fitzgerald, Jr. picked up the juggling balls and started out like he didn’t know how, however it was soon revealed that he knew the sport better than first thought.
When asked what juggling tricks he knew, Cooper said he can jug-gle backwards, 2 to 1 juggle and a few other neat tricks. He said he
is currently working to learn how to juggle the “factory.” In this trick one continually juggles two balls while mak-ing the third ball make an optical illusion of a square then put back in the rotation.
The group was using special juggling balls with multiple colors on them and filled with a light bean type filling. These particular items can be purchased on-line.
Juggling can be a fun sport that one can do alone or can include others. This is a sport that has slightly gone by the wayside but should be brought back to the forefront because it does take talent, timing and hand eye coordination.
