Allen AdvocateVOLUME 69 NUMBER 21 ALLEN, PONTOTOC COUNTY , OKLAHOMA 1 SECTION (USPS 543600) 50¢ THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2016

A record crowd turned out Tuesday evening, Feb-ruary 23rd, for the an-nual Allen Chamber of Commerce Banquet. A tradition which started in the 1950’s, 136 people enjoyed the 2016 banquet

which featured a western motif and a pork loin din-ner.

Entertainment was pro-vided by R.T. Valine, a singer new to the Allen area. R.T. and Jackie re-cently moved here from

California where he per-formed as lead singer of “RT n’ the 44s”, and was a crowd favorite with his style of Country/Western music

Serving the meal, pre-pared by Keystone Food

Service employees, were members of the Allen FCCLA and their sponsor Ashlan Anderson. The room had been decorated by Danielle O’Daniel.

Emceeing the evening was the outgoing president of the Chamber, Frankie Bell, who led those as-sembled in the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by the invocation led by Charles Speir.

Awards were presented to new Chamber-mem-ber businesses follow-ing the meal. Receiving their “1st Dollar Award” were Rocky Top Winery, Bob and Wilma Harden; Farmer Insurance, Larry Howard; Allen Sto & Go, Chris and Kierra Howard; Tony’s Auto Repair, Tony Johnson; Small Town Fit-ness, Gary and Salina

Raney; and “the second chapter”, Sam and Melo-nie Johnson. Not present to receive their award was Merriman’s Country Store, Bruce and Lori Merriman.

The Citizen of the Year plaque, presented to a local individual who has assisted the town by go-ing above and beyond in service to the community, was awarded to Danielle O’Daniel. She and her husband, Brett, own Allen Heating & Air. Danielle has become very active with the Chamber, assisted with the Allen 4-H Club, helped with numerous school and community events, and was a regular and favorite guest of the Woodland Hills Nursing Home residents until its closing.

Devotion of the WeekFor out of the heart proceed evil thoughts,

murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, fase witness, blasphemies.

Last year the American Environmental Protection Agency allowed an ocean of sludge to pollute Colorado’s Animas River, turning the tributary to a sickening bright yellow. The accident occurred when a crew tried to pump out the polluted buildup of an abandoned mine. The waste overflowed, ruining a hundred-mile stretch of river.

According to Jesus, the human heart is a cesspool of evil, which overflows into our words and deeds. Our world is polluted by the toxic buildup of our hearts. The problem isn’t political, and it can’t be solved by political means. It’s not legal, and all the laws in the world can’t solve it. It’s not educational. If everyone had a doctorate, we’d still have a corrupted culture. It’s not financial; if everyone were a millionaire, we’d still be in trouble.

Moral hearts lead to moral hands, and only a transformed life brings holy habits. It’s not

enough to turn over a new leaf, pass a new law, elect a new president, or create a new slogan. The only answer is a new heart. If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17).President

Harry Truman

Smile of the WeekWhen my husband’s friend gave his order at

a fast-food restaurant, the cashier asked for his name.

“It’s Stephen, with a ph,” he said.Soon after, he was handed his order and a receipt,

which had his name on it: Phteven.

We “baby boomers” pride ourselves on being good at a lot of things . . . including piling on the debt . . .

Older Americans are burdened with unprecedented debt loads as more and more baby boomers enter what are meant to be their retirement years owing far more on their houses, cars and even college loans than previous generations.

The average 65-year-old borrower has 47% more mortgage debt and 29% more auto debt than 65-year-olds had in 2003, after adjusting for inflation, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York released Friday.

Just over a decade ago, student debt was unheard-of among 65-year-olds. Today it is a growing debt cat-egory, though it remains smaller for them than autos, credit cards and mortgages. On top of that, there are far more people in this age group than a decade ago.

The result: The composition of U.S. household debt is vastly different than it was before the financial crisis, when many younger households took on large debts they could no longer afford when the bottom fell out of the economy.

The shift represents a “reallocation of debt from young [people], with historically weak repayment, to retirement-aged consumers, with historically strong repayment,” according to New York Fed economist Meta Brown in a presentation of the findings.

Older borrowers his-torically have been less likely to default on loans and typically have been successful at shrinking their debt balances. But greater borrowing among this age group could be-come alarming if evidence mounted that large num-bers of people were enter-ing retirement with debts they couldn’t manage. So far, that doesn’t appear to be the case. Most of the households with debt also have higher credit scores and more assets than in the past.

Still, the trend could be-come more worrisome in the future as an increasing number of people will be retiring without pension plans and with limited assets in their 401(k)s, said Alicia Munnell, the director of the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College.

“I find the increase alarming,” Ms. Munnell said, “if your only month-ly income is from Social Security, you really want to get monthly expendi-tures down and have as

little debt as possible.” The data were released

in conjunction with the New York Fed’s quarterly report on household debt, which aggregates millions of credit reports from the credit-rating firm Equifax. The report was launched in 2010 to track the chang-ing debt behaviors of U.S. households after the finan-cial crisis.

For the past two years, household debts have been slowly rising, although they remain well below where they were in 2008. That trend continued in the final quarter of 2015, with overall household indebtedness rising by $51 billion to $12.1 trillion. Auto loans, student loans and credit card balances all increased while mort-gage balances were little changed.

An important barometer of household financial health is the percentage of this debt that is in some stage of delinquency, and that percentage has been steadily dropping. Only 2.2% of mortgage debt was in delinquency, the lowest since early 2007. Credit-card delinquen-cies also declined, while auto-loan and student-

loan delinquencies were unchanged.

Part of the years long improvement in credit delinquencies owes to the fact that older borrowers hold a growing share of the debt. Not only were borrowers with the best financial situation able to maintain their debt dur-ing the financial crisis, but they have also had an easier time taking on new debts in recent years as credit standards have tightened.

By contrast, the overall debt balances of most young borrowers haven’t grown or have declined. The average 30-year-old borrower has nearly three times as much student debt as in 2003. But these borrowers have so much less home, credit card and auto debt that their overall debt balances are lower.

This shift for young bor-rowers could have “con-sequences in terms of both foregone economic growth and young con-sumers’ welfare,” said Ms. Brown.

Wall Street — Journal

God has given us some beautiful weather in February. Sunday we came to thank Him for His goodness. Our church group sang the song “Any Day Now”, remind-ing us that God will be returning to claim his own and that we need to be ready.

Bro. Larry’s message was taken from Luke 13:22-28 and entitled “The Question of Salvation.” We are spiri-tual beings above all else. We inhabit a physical body which we will one day lay aside. Physical death is a reality we all face. There is a spirit within our mortal bodies that is immortal. It is this spirit within us that aches for fulfillment. Those who seek fulfillment in the spiritual will be satisfied.

There are eternal consequences to our choices. Jesus clearly lays out in a few simple words the two possible outcomes of this life. Eternal life in the kingdom of God or eternal separation from God and all things good. He speaks of weeping-unending sorrow and despair. Jesus makes it clear that one is to be sought and the other avoided.

There is only one way to eternal salvation. The man in this passage is concerned about salvation. Unfor-tunately, many will miss it. They will have dedicated their lives to the wrong things. Jesus makes it perfectly clear that there is only one way to salvation. In John 14:6 Jesus declares “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.”

My parents and grandparents would not have thought of going in debt after they retired. I wish I had followed their example.

—CC— As every married man knows there are certain rules

to be followed in a marriage. One of our readers shared her favorite lists . . .

1. The female always makes the rules. 2. The rules are subject to change without notice. 3. No male can possibly know all the rules. 4. If the female suspects the male knows all the rules,

she must immediately change some of the rules. 5. The female is never wrong. 6. If it appears the female is wrong, it is because of a

flagrant misunderstanding caused by something the male did or said wrong.

7. If the last rule applies, the male must apologize im-mediately for causing the misunderstanding.

8. The female can change her mind at any time. 9. The mal must never change his mind without the

express written consent of the female. 10. The female has every right to be angry or upset at

any time. 11. The male must remain calm at all times, unless

the female wants him to be angry or upset. 12. The female must, under no circumstances, let the

male know whether she wants him to be angry or upset. 13. The male is expected to read the mind of the fe-

male at all times. 14. At all times, what is important is what the female

meant, not what she said. 15. If the male doesn’t abide by the rules, it is because

he can’t take the heat. 16. If the female has PMS, all the rules are null and

void and the male must cater to her every whim. 17. Any attempt to document the rules could result in

bodily harm. 18. If the male, at any time, believes he is right, he

must refer to rule five.—CC—

And last of all, my favorite story of the week . . . One old guy told another that he had a frog that could

talk. If you kissed it, it would turn into a beautiful princess and say sweet things.

The other man took the frog, put it in his pocket, and said, “At my age I’d rather have a talking frog than a pretty princess.”

This is Leap Year, and February 29th will be here soon. Mr. Google says that the Egyptians were the first people to add a Leap Day every 4 years to keep the calendar in sync with the solar year. Centuries later the Romans estab-lished February 29th as Leap Day.

The tradition of a lady proposing marriage on Leap Day to the man she loved originated in Ire-land. Then a few centuries later, Al Capp’s knowl-edge of this custom made Sadie Hawkins a house-hold name in America. In the 1930’s he had a syndicated comic strip titled “Little Ab’ner,” and Sadie, who was one of his characters, was still a spinster at the age of 35. Mr. Capp decided to give Sadie’s father the brilliant idea of holding a foot race for all the eligible bach-elors in the area. The one that Sadie chased down and caught would be her husband.

Evidently, the bachelor she caught that year man-aged to avoid matrimony, though, because the Leap Year race was so popular that Al Capp featured it in his comic strip every 4 years. Before long Febru-

ary 29th was nicknamed Sadie Hawkins Day.

Meanwhile, back in modern day Atwood, Tom Spillman sang “Un-til Then” during the wor-ship service this Sunday. This song reminds us that although we have our feet on the ground we must keep our eyes on Jesus. Seeing each day’s events from heaven’s perspective makes all the difference.

Tim Green was our guest speaker. His message was “What Shall We Do with Jesus?” When you face The Judgment, wheth-er you spend eternity in heaven or in hell depends on whether you accepted

Jesus or rejected Him. Those who believe in

Jesus then have 2 more options: obey or disobey. Jesus showed how much he loves us when he died for us. We show Jesus how much we love Him by living in obedience to Him. And, as it turns out, Jesus asks of us is what He knows will ultimately be best for us.

Some people will choose to follow Jesus. Others will choose to follow their own wants or ideas about what to worship. It doesn’t matter what others do, though, Jesus calls us to deny our tendency toward sin and follow Him.

February seems to be the month to show love. It is Heart Month and what come from the heart but love? Red is the color for hearts and it is also the color for Valentine’s Day. The nursing home at Wil-son has put up decorations all over the building and as you go down each hall, the decorations are evident and a joy to see.

For Valentine’s Day, a very special friend sent me a bowl with four hyacinth bulbs. The flier that came with them shows that they

will have red blossoms. After they bloom, I will set them out in two large pots just outside my entry, and I will be able to enjoy them year after year.

This February has been an unusual one in that the weather has not been be-low 20 degrees. We have had one small snow. As the large flakes of snow fell, I checked the ther-mometer and it read 32 degrees. The snow lasted a few hours and then began to melt. It was gone by mid-afternoon. Is this our

winter; or will be have a snow snap in March that will kill all the fruit that has appeared on the fruit trees?

I have a large apricot tree that usually blooms in February, bears fruit and then the fruit freezes.

I usually have apricots about every four years. Will I have apricots this year? My plum trees and the apricot tree already have buds that are coming out.

Last week the bluebirds

were in the yard gathering up things to make nests. My elm trees are budding and so are the pear trees. The jonquils are out and in full bloom. Incidentally, so are the dandelions. All these things seem to be indications of an early spring.

Judge Leon Emerson died February 11, 2016 at the age of 90 in California. Emerson was born April 14, 1925, to Will and Ella (Pegg) Emerson, and he died last Thursday in his sleep. He was a long-time resident of the Allen area who created a procedure now used by thousands of courts around the world in his tireless crusade to get drunk drivers off the road. Time Magazine hailed him as a courtroom innovator. Many locals have known him and members of the Emerson family over the years, and he has attended several Allen Reunions. The eleventh of thirteen children, Virgil Leon Emerson grew up on a dry-dirt farm outside Allen, Oklahoma. When WWII came, the skinny boy who had never seen an ocean signed up for the Navy at age 17. He served in the fleet tug USS Yuma and fought at

Cuba Joan (Summers) Lawrence, 8a7, Edmond, will be at 1:00 p.m. today, Thursday, February 25th, in Cen-tral Baptist Church, Lawton, with Pastor Dan Maxwell, Chisholm Creek Baptist Church, Edmond, officiating. Burial will follow in Sunset Memorial Gardens under direction of Becker-Rabon Funeral Home.

Cuba Joan Lawrence passed away Friday, February 19, 2016, in Midwest City.

She was born Oct.2, 1928, in the Panther Creek Community, south of Allen, to William Edgar and Rhoda Jane (Peak) Summers. She married Robert Gene Lawrence on Nov. 23, 1945, in Holdenville. He died November 8, 1998. Mr. Lawrence was a past president of City National Bank in Lawton. They moved to Law-ton in 1961 and became members of Central Baptist Church in 1962.

Survivors include a daughter, Donna Kay Vaughan and her husband Ronny, Edmond; a son, Ron Lawrence and his wife Lesa of Dallas, Texas; five grandchildren, Kristin Geddes, Amy Martin, Jeffrey Vaughan, Ashley Shrader and Dustin Mabie; nine great-grandchildren, Collin Geddes, Nathan Geddes, Brittan Geddes, Rea-gan Geddes, Camryn Vaughan, Evan Vaughan, Elijah Shrader, Kate Shrader and Miles Martin; two brothers, James Summers and his wife Charlene, and Johnny Summers and his wife Carolyn, both of Allen; and two sisters: Jewell Rocha of Allen and Anna Mae Kreie, Ada.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband; brothers Ulyes, Hubert and J.D. Summers; and a sister, Lula Bell Levingston.

Former Allen resident, Mary Katherine (Majors) “Katy” Robertson, age 88, now a resident of Konawa, passed away Wednes-day, February 17, 2016 at Avonlea Assisted Living Center in Seminole, Okla-homa.

Funeral services were held 10:00 a.m. Saturday, February 20th, at Vamoosa Baptist Church under the direction of Swearingen

Iwo Jima and the Battle of Okinawa. After the war, like many other young veterans, he stayed in California and used the G.I. Bill to obtain an education that would have been unthinkable for a Dust Bowl farm boy. He attended Compton College and Loyola University, and graduated from the Southwestern School of Law. He said he was inspired by Orel Busby, a cousin who sat on the Oklahoma Supreme Court. As a young attorney, Emerson became active in politics. He worked for a state senator and became involved in several Democratic campaigns. He served on the Steering Committee for the Incorporation of the City of Downey in 1956, and had a strong hand in shaping the community, with a population of 86,000 at that time. He became President of the Downey Chamber of Commerce and other community groups. He was a Scoutmaster, long-time member of the Downey Kiwanis Club and the Shriners, and a founder of Downey Counseling Center. The California Governor appointed him judge of the Downey Municipal Court in 1961, and there he served most of his 30 years on the bench. Then a man named Bud McDonald came to see him. McDonald had been a famous child star in the “Our Gang” comedies—he played “Buddy,” the boy with the freckled face and big ears. But he grew out of those child roles, and eventually came to be an alcoholic. He was convicted of a robbery and began attending Alcoholics Anonymous in prison. He turned his own life around and devoted himself to helping

others. Once freed, he often sponsored other alcoholics, and sometimes went to court with them to address drunk-driving charges. He asked to meet with Judge Emerson. Would he be willing to mandate that a defendant attend Alcoholics Anonymous, as part of probation? The judge was intrigued. He wouldn’t be the first jurist to try this method, but it was a rare approach at that time. It worked. Thus began a decades-long corroboration and friendship between the judge and the former child actor. After his elevation to Superior Court judge, he sat on cases a few more years. He moved to a retirement community in Huntington Beach, California, and traveled around the world. He often visited Oklahoma to see family and friends, and always said he was “proud to be an Okie.” He is survived by his wife, Lora; daughter Julia; sons David and Donald; granddaughter Ayisha; two grandsons and two great-grandchildren; and an older sister, Cleo LeVally of Healdton, Oklahoma. A short military veteran’s ceremony is set for 11:30 AM on February 29th at Riverside Memorial Cemetery in Riverside, California. Judge Emerson told his daughter he wanted a “fun funeral.” Julia Emerson suggests, “Whether you can attend the services or not, those who wish to honor Judge Leon Emerson are encouraged to wear bright, fun colors on Leap Year day. Think of his big laugh, the many people he helped, and those loud jackets and ties he used to love to wear underneath his dark judicial robes.”

Funeral Home of Konawa. Rev. Bruce Sanders offici-ated, and burial followed at Dora Cemetery. Pall-bearers are Mark Ezell, Chris Freeman, Cory Walker, Bobby Carnes, Don Robertson, and Les Robertson.

Katy was born October 29, 1927, in El Dorado, Kansas to Louie Majors and Gladys (Miller) Ma-jors. She graduated from Maud High School and attended college. She married Henry Herman “Hank” Robertson on De-cember 24, 1946 in Bow-legs, Oklahoma. She was a homemaker and a group leader of Weight Watch-ers.

She is survived by two sons, Mark Robertson and wife, Debbie of Konawa, and Tim Robertson and wife, Brenda of Allen; one daughter, Becky Freeman and husband, Danny of Konawa; three sisters, Dorothy Hollingshead of Shawnee, Barbara Colvin also of Shawnee, and Bet-ty Stafford of Bowlegs; five grandchildren, Dana Ezell, Chris Freeman, Lisa Cundiff, Cory Walker, and Marcy Carnes; and six great grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Lou-ie and Gladys Majors; husband, Hank Robertson; three brothers, Robert Ma-jors, Wilburn Majors, and Ray Hugh Majors.

Time to Service yourFurnace

for a care-free winter

You just never know just what is going to happen next up at the VA Hospi-tal in Oklahoma City. A few days ago I received a phone call from a woman up there telling me I had an appointment with her. Her name was Lynn some-thing. She said, be here at 9:00 AM. I explained to her that it would be better for me if I could come in at, oh say, 11:00 AM since I lived in Allen. I was telling her how far it was but the reply amounted to a dial tone. So I told Pat and she made a note.

Two days later the girl called again and started in talking like we had never hung up two days before. “I want you to proceed down the hall and get another test after you finish that first one that measures the circulation in your lower extremi-ties.” I told her OK and made another note on my calendar. I wondered what might be wrong with me and what they might know about my condition that I wasn’t party to. But wait! Two days later and my new friend Lynn called yet again. By now I was afraid my wife would think Lynn and I had something going. This time she told me I needed to be on the 4th floor and report to Lab at 8:00 AM. It was getting worse all the time. I’m not exactly an early person and I like breakfast.

No breakfast or even liq-uids after midnight as Pat drove me toward OKC. We made it OK until about 20 miles out on I-40 the traffic all stopped. This made me a little late. Not good. But Pat zigged and zagged her way around the traffic and by 8:30 I was there on the 4th floor and checked in. I then made a serious mistake. I ex-plained I had a procedure

at 9:00 AM and asked if she (the desk clerk) could help me out here. Now we all know that VA desk clerks do not like to be told in any way, shape or man-ner how to do their jobs. She gave me a “look” and I sat and waited. And waited.

Later, Pat said, “You need to tell her to hurry, all these late arrivals are going ahead of you.” Pat hates to be messed with too but I was told to sit down and more or less shut up. Defeated, I sat down again by my dis-gruntled wife. I wondered why she didn’t go up there and tell the clerk off her-self, but she didn’t.

Finally I was called in but not before my impa-tient wife had gone down and fetched the famed Lynn who walked me through the lab. We then hurried down to Lynn’s room. Lynn looked at me like she was wondering how much brain damage being in the “war” had caused…

“Take off your britches,” she commanded. I took off my pants and hung ‘em up on a hat rack. I stood there awkwardly and asked timidly if I could keep my underpants on. “Uh, yeah, I guess,” she said with a somewhat dismissive glance and shrug.”

“I’m going to measure the blood pressure in your legs.”

“ U h , w h a t ’s t h a t thing?”

“It’s to measure the blood pressure in your big toes.” I had never seen such a thing but I let on like I saw one every day. It wasn’t long before she worked her way up the leg to the groin. I was alarmed as

she said, “I’ll have to access your groin,” and did. She then proceeded to measure blood flow through the femoral arter-ies. I guess that went OK. Lynn said something like, “Hmmm” and directed me to my next test. Soon I was getting an echogram on my heart.

“Your heart has moved,” she said.

“Well, I would hope so,” I countered.

“No,” she continued.

“Your heart has moved to the right.”

I asked her, “What does that mean?”

“It means your heart has moved to the right,” she said.

“Will this have any ef-fect on how I vote?”

The lady looked me in the eye and said, “I just don’t see how it could.” Her pretty OU student intern laughed out loud

drawing a stern look from her boss.

I guess I’m going to be OK. But if I look differ-ent just be advised that my heart has moved to the right. Also, today is my 81st birthday, please feel free to send me a birthday greeting. I could use a little cheering up today. And be sure and go to church Sunday. You’ll like it. I think.

The teacher asked her Sunday School class , “Who wants to go to heaven?” All the chil-dren raised their hands except one little boy. The teacher said to him. “Ray, don’t you want to go to heaven?” “I can’t,” an-swered Ray. “Mom said I have to come home right after church.”

This little boy reminds me of some people who are so busy they don’t have time to plan or pre-pare to go to heaven. They are so tied to the pleasures, cares and worries of life in this physical realm that they do not have time for the God of power who sus-tains their lives along with all things of our world.

He also reminds me of the soldier in Israel who was given a prisoner to guard, but the prisoner es-

caped. In explaining why the prisoner escaped, the soldier said, “While your servant was busy here and there, he was gone.” (1 Kings 20:37) As a result, the soldier’s life was taken in place of the prisoner’s life.

How busy are you? We must not be like some of those Jesus told of who received God’s word but

“the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.” (Mark 4:18-19) If we are so busy that God’s word is choked out of our lives, we will definitely loose our lives. Jesus is the source of life (John 1:4) so we had better take time for Him.

Allen correspondentThe Allen Lady Mus-

tangs will move into the second level of basketball playoff action this week.

Coach Jeremy Strong’s squad is set to face the Rush Springs Lady Red-skins in the regional open-er at Wayne High School. The game will tip off at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, February 25.

Rush Springs enters the week with a win-loss record 16-7. The Lady Redskins defeated Minco 42-20 in the district finals last Saturday evening.

Allen is 21-2 heading into Thursday’s regional showdown.

A win for Allen would send the Lady Mustangs into the regional finals at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at Central Marlow High School. The opponent would be the winner of the Dale vs. Healdton game - very likely Dale.

Last Tuesday, the Lady Mustangs closed out the regular season with a 66-30 victory over the hosting Wetumka Lady Chieftains.

Allen made quick work of the home team. The Lady Mustangs raced off to leads of 18-5 in the first quarter, 43-14 at the half and 59-14 after three quarters. AHS then fin-ished off the 46-point win by outscoring Wetumka 7-6 in the last quarter.

Three Allen players scoring in double fig-ures, including Alison Sells with 18 points, Faith Caldwell with 12, and Sunzie Harrison with 11.

Charlea Leonard and Kennedy Prentice provid-ed 8 points each to bolster the scoring attack.

The remaining offense included Brooke Hol-comb with 4 points, Tara Osborne with 3 and Han-nah Heck with 2.

The Lady Mustangs improved to 20-2 with Tuesday’s victory.

On Saturday, Coach Strong’s girls opened the post-season with a 48-30 triumph in the district title game. AHS took down the Northeast Academy Lady Vikings at Wayne High School.

Allen bounced out to a 12-4 edge in the first quarter. The Lady Mus-tangs extended the advan-tage to 31-16 going into the break.

Northeast managed a narrow 6-4 scoring edge

Allen girls overpower Northeast Academy for District Championshipin a slow third quarter. The effort made it a 35-22 game with one period to play.

The Lady Mustangs sealed the deal down the stretch. They outscored the Lady Vikings 13-8 to secure the 18-point win at 48-30.

Charlea Leonard poured in a game-best 18 points for Allen. Alison Sells also landed in double figures in scoring with 11

points. Sunzie Harrison and Faith Caldwell tied for third place in team scoring with 8 points each. Hannah Heck rounded out the offensive chart with 3 points.

As those final seconds ticked off the clock, Al-len fans ignited a victory celebration for the 2016 district champions.

“It was a good start to our (Class) 2A playoffs,” Coach Strong said. “(But)

it’s going to be a tough road.”

Allen’s goal is a deep

run in the playoffs this season. However, there are difficult challenges this week - and beyond.

Allen suffers one-sided setback in Class 2A dis-trict championship game

By HERMAN BROWN

Allen correspondentThe Allen Mustangs

will face a must-win situ-ation for the rest of the time they remain alive in the Class 2A basketball playoffs.

Coach Greg Mills’ Mustangs will head into the regional tournament on Thursday afternoon at Wayne. Allen is matched up with the Minco Bull-dogs in a 3:00 p.m. contest at Wayne High School.

Minco is 13-13 coming into Thursday’s regional game.

The Bulldogs beat Rush Springs 47-42 on Friday at Rush Springs. Howev-er, Minco fell to Walters 66-61 Saturday night in the district finals.

Allen is 16-8 coming into regional play.

The Mustangs began post-season action with a 51-43 victory over the hosting Wayne Bulldogs on Friday.

Once in the district fi-nals, Allen suffered a stinging 51-17 loss to the Northeast Academy Vikings.

The loss to Northeast Academy dispatched the Mustangs to the consola-tion bracket of the region-al tournament. The fate of the season will depend on a victory over the Minco Bulldogs on Thursday.

The winner of Allen vs. Minco will move on Friday to the regional’s main site at Central High in Marlow.

The area tournament the following weekend will be at Cache (near Lawton).

Those who continue on to state the follow-ing weekend will play in the Oklahoma City area - finishing up at State Fair Arena in Oklahoma City.

In a review of the most recent action, Allen won two of three games last week.

Chieftains last Tuesday eve-ning.

Allen led 18-7 in the open-ing period. However, We-tumka rallied in the second quarter to even the game at 27-27 going into the mid-game break.

The visiting Mustangs pressed ahead to a 40-37 edge in the third quarter.

Then, with the game on the line, Allen erupted offen-sively to outscore the home team 21-4. The late surge carried the Mustangs to a 20-point win at 61-41.

Tadyn Walker led a very balanced scoring attack with 12 points. Christian Henry and Josiah Jones shared sec-ond-place in scoring with 10 points each. Tommy Peay and Tucker Elliott both nar-

rowly missed double-digit scoring with 9 points each. Ty Brown finished with 6 points while Drew Back scored 3 and Brendan Mc-Clure added the final 2.

On Friday, Allen began the playoff journey with a district semi-final game against the Wayne Bull-dogs. The Mustangs beat the Bulldogs 54-43 in an elimination-round contest.

Allen trailed 10-7 in the first quarter but rallied to an 18-15 halftime edge.

The real fireworks started in the pivotal third quarter. That’s when the Mustangs outscored the home team 21-5 to a comfortable 39-20 cushion.

Wayne attempted a come-

back down the stretch. The Bulldogs outscored Allen 23-15 in the final eight minutes. Even so, the nice cushion the Mustangs held allowed AHS to withstand the surge and still come away with a 54-43 win.

Despite having zero dou-ble-figure scorers, Allen was victories due to another bal-anced scoring attack. Chris-tian Henry and Ty Brown shared top scoring honors with 9 points each.

Josiah Jones, Tommy Peay and Tucker Elliott added 8 points each in the win-ning contest. Tadyn Walker finished with 7 points and Brendan McClure provided the other 5.

By winning Thursday, Allen moved on into the dis-trict title game on Saturday evening.

Awaiting the Mustangs

was a powerful Northeast Academy Viking squad that proved to be the real deal at Wayne. Northeast swarmed the Mustangs and rocketed to a 54-17 district champion-ship win.

Allen was outscored in all four quarters. The Mustangs trailed 14-4 after a quarter, 26-7 at the half, 45-13 at the end of three quarters, and lost by 37 points, 54-17.

Six Mustangs scored in the loss, including Josiah Jones with 5 points as the high scorer for Allen. Ta-dyn Walker was second on the team with 4 points. Ty Brown and Jordan Stick added 3 points each while Drew Back and Brendan McClure finished with 1 point each.

With the loss, Allen drops in the consolation bracket this week at the regional

tournament. The challenge is to avoid a season-ending loss.

The first test comes at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday.
