Associated PressForgoing combat rifles and body armor, U.S. troops prepar-

ing to fight Ebola in Liberia were instead stepping gingerlyThursday into white germ-proof suits and pulling on thick,blue rubber gloves and gas masks.

About 500 soldiers were doing three days of infectious dis-ease training inside a concrete-floored building on Texas'sprawling Fort Hood — getting ready to join as many as 3,900troops nationwide authorized to go to areas affected by thevirus.

Army medical personnel will treat patients who haveEbola while engineers plan to build temporary medical cen-ters. How long they'll be deployed is unclear.

"It feels a bit like the ... tire man, or a marshmallow," train-er John McGuffin joked as a group of Army soldiers totteredabout in suits resembling billowy hospital gowns.

Dispatched from the U.S. Army Medical Research Instituteof Infectious Diseases in Maryland, McGuffin offered tips onspotting Ebola symptoms, then had troops work in pairs tocorrectly don protective gear.

"We're going to check each other," McGuffin said. "If wehave a tear in the suit, we're going to first remain calm. We'regoing to remove ourselves from a potentially infectious area,and then we're going to hit everything with disinfectant."

The soldiers learned they should step forward, not back-ward, when removing suits, and clean masks and rubbergloves with alcohol wipes. Duct tape, they were told, workswell to seal sleeves to gloves.

Outbreak fears weren't overt, but there was some nervous-ness. While Ebola-related training is similar to chemical war-fare instruction many troops have had previously, it's a far cryfrom battlefield or counterterrorism missions.

"I think there's some apprehension here, of course," saidCol. Heath Roscoe, commander of the 36th Engineer Brigade,one of three Liberia-bound units from Fort Hood.

To assuage fears, he held a meeting Monday with troopsand their families where surgeons fielded questions not onlyabout safety in Liberia but potential risks to relatives oncetheir loved ones come home.

"We've seen some other folks, American doctors who got it,were flown back, and I'm pretty confident that our leaders willmake sure that happens with our soldiers" if they are strick-en with Ebola, Roscoe said.

The disease has killed thousands globally, and a Liberianman in a Dallas hospital who became the first confirmed U.S.case of the virus died Wednesday.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who is eying a possible 2016 presi-dential run, mingled with soldiers during their trainingThursday, chatting about college football and other, less-tensetopics.

"When you signed up to serve in the United States Armythis may not have been the role that you saw yourself play-ing," Perry said.

Spc. Michael Potts, a 5-year Army veteran who has previ-ously deployed to Afghanistan, said he's not nervous — buthis family's a bit jittery.

"They are always worried," said Potts, 29, from Fort Worth,Texas. "As long as we're taken care of and we're focused onwhat we have to do in order to help out ... then we'll be allright."

National Firefighter CombatChallenge hosted by Tyler

Special to the ReviewThis year, Tyler will host the

Brookshire’s 2014 National FirefighterCombat Challenge, a competition that pitsfirefighters against one another racing acourse designed to simulate some of theday-to-day obstacles firefighters face.

The event is free to spectators, and willtake place Oct. 23-25. All activities will belocated in the parking lot of BroadwaySquare Mall, 4601 S. Broadway Ave. nearSears.

“The Combat Challenge is a uniquecompetition between firefighters from allover the state,” Tyler Fire Chief TimJohnson said. “They compete against eachother doing the things they do in their job,skills that are the craft of our profession.At the end of the day, the fastest timewins.”

This is the ninth year Tyler has hostedthis event, but this year is the firstNational competition to be hosted in Tyler.The National competition is a 3-day event,rather than two days.

The longer event is expected to bring inan estimated 400 competitors, and evenmore spectators than in recent years.

The Challenge has its roots in a univer-sity-based research study funded by

the U.S. Fire Administration. It took a yearof research and analysis to design a crite-rion task test – ultimately, that physicalability test evolved to become "the engine"of the Challenge. The resulting five tasksthat comprise the Challenge are highly-reminiscent of actual fire-scene activities.They are the high-rise hose drag, the hosehoist, the forcible entry, the hose advanceand victim rescue.

“The event is good fellowship for the par-ticipants, and great fun to watch for thespectators,” Johnson said.

The Tyler Firefighters CancerAwareness Relief Effort (CARE) will be atthe event selling T-shirts to raise aware-ness and funds for the fight against cancer.

“We’re excited to be hosting theNational event this year,” Tyler FirefighterBrent Hail said. “It’s a great opportunityfor the community to see what firefighterscan do.”

Those interested in sponsorship oppor-tunities or volunteering can contact BrentHail at [email protected], or if you areinterested in volunteering, contact ShariRickman at [email protected].

Letters & guest columns

My wife Jean and I wentto Wagoner,Oklahoma for a few

days, mostly to clear out stor-age rooms we have rented forthe past seven years, five ofthose years since we moved tothe Athens area.

We didn’t get it quite finishedsince one was a 10-by-40-footmonster, and the other mea-sured 10-by-10. There just wasn’tenough time to go through themany boxes of stuff, decidingwhich to throw away, and whichto bring back.

But, I would say we got at leasthalf of the larger storage room.We both looked to the sky, andthanked God that it was cool (notcold) in this time of the year.

We also had a nice visit withour granddaughter, Ciara, wholives about 28 miles fromWagoner in the city of Tulsa.

It’s there that she is an assis-tant general manager ofApplebee’s in Tulsa.

She was always a youth whogot the job done, regardless ofwhat her friends were trying to

get her to do which may have beennon-productive or somethingwhich just shouldn’t happen.

It sounds like she inherited alot of characteristics of my wife.Since we raised both Ciara andher brother Lane for severalyears, until they graduated fromWagoner High School, they bothinherited a lot of Jean’s greattraits.

Lane, on the one hand, grew upto be an incredibly hard worker,who is now fathering two babydaughters. He is so very close tothem with his interest and pro-tection. The three, along withwife Brandy, are close friends aswell as family.

Ciara hasn’t yet married, but

has a close boyfriend, Taylor. Fora while, she was dating someone,also in the restaurant businesswho was not looking to the futurewhen they might one day getmarried. She felt it necessary tobreak away from that one.

Then there’s Taylor, who isalso in the restaurant business.She seems to make things a littleeasier by getting close to peoplewho would understand the chal-lenges in the business, if shewere to marry them.

And, with Taylor, that could bethe case. We are waiting, know-ing that Ciara will make the logi-cal choice. It won’t be a case of“Oh, I so love him. It doesn’t mat-ter that we don’t fully understandeach other and the things we doin life.”

It will absolutely be this: “Yes, Ilove everything about him. And,he is also thinking about the fu-ture as I am. He is making logicaland practical decisions, for hisown good and for mine, and foranything that should come aboutin our future, including the possi-ble birth of children.”

Now, I have never heard hersay these things, but knowing heras I do, I would imagine thesethoughts are going through hermind.

I remember both Ciara and herbrother in high school inWagoner. Lane was a really toughfootball player for the WagonerBulldogs before he graduated in2006. Ciara was a sports assistantbehind the scenes, offering waterand medical assistance on thesidelines until she graduated in2007.

It was during that year whenCiara was a high school seniorthat she competed for homecom-ing queen. Always at this time ofthe year, I think about that eventon the Wagoner football field.Also, when Jean and I visitWagoner, I look down the street,or also go past that field to look atthe place that was such a pleas-antry that night.

Lane was living in Houston,but came up to escort her on thefield, when she and the rest of thecandidates were walking aroundthe lit area.

As editor of the WagonerTribune, a job I held for nineyears, I wanted to cover this, andtake the photos while standing onthe field.

Nobody else knew the outcomeuntil the judges had made theirdecision, yet kept it quiet untilthe announcement. Quiet exceptfrom me, of course. They told meit was Ciara, and I was just wait-ing to use my camera at the mo-ment it was announced.

Then, the moment came.Everyone was waiting in antici-pation, as her name was an-nounced over the loud speaker.

I still have many copies of thatfront page photo, with Lane ap-plauding his sister, while Ciaradisplayed a facial expression ofshock, then happiness. It was oneof many nights that Jean and Ishall never forget.

Yes, it was great to see Ciara inOklahoma when we visited thispast week. She and Lane bothwill occupy a soft spot in ourhearts.

Nothing shameful about HC DemocratsNot long ago, I read in

the local paper thatHenderson County didn’thave enough Democrats tofill a Volkswagen.

I don’t believe it for aminute. I didn’t believe itwhen I read it, and I don’tbelieve it now.

What I do believe is this:Some Republican politi-cians and their Tea Partycheerleaders would love forall the HC Democrats to ac-cept every word they utter.

But saying somethingdoes not make it true.

Historically and tradi-tionally, this beautiful spotin Northeast Texas has al-ways been the home forhonest, hard-working peo-ple. Sounds like a bunch ofDemocrats to me.

Don’t take my word forit. Go back 10 years, andlook at all the honorablejudges, commissioners andsheriffs – so manyDemocrats that the singleRepublican had to vote at

the county clerk’s office.Has anything changed?

Not the folks in HendersonCounty. We are still around.We are still good peoplelooking out for each other.

What has changed is aperception of guilt orshame. Thanks to a minor-ity of political voices, theyhave attempted to attachshame to our heritage. be-lieve me, there is nothingshameful about the accom-plishments of all the HCDemocrats

Talk about shame, it isshameful what Rick Perryand Gregg Abbott doeswith our school tax money.

We just need to remem-ber who we are, and whatwe stand for and vote. Casta vote for every teacher andstudent who walks into aTexas classroom.

And vote with decades ofpride.

The effort to contain West Africa's Ebola epidemic and preventit from becoming a global problem was only as strong as theweakest link in the international community's chain of healthprecautions. To Dallas' horror and embarrassment, one of thoseweak links surfaced here.

Complaining of fever and discomfort, Thomas Eric Duncaninformed a nurse screener at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospitalon Sept. 24 that he had arrived from Liberia four days earlier.What Duncan didn't tell the nurse — or airport officials in Liberia— was that just before leaving his country, he had aided a preg-nant woman who later died of Ebola.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention inAtlanta has warned medical facilities around the country to beon high alert for travelers from West Africa. Instead, Duncan wasdischarged. The lack of appropriate care for Duncan so troubledhis nephew that he decided to contact the CDC. Presbyterian did-n't go on full alert until the following Sunday when Duncan, verysick, finally returned by ambulance.

Parents of DISD students are justifiably concerned, as arethousands of surrounding residents in the Fair Oaks andVickery Meadow neighborhoods.

The concerns surrounding the first diagnosis of Ebola on U.S.soil could have been minimized, had Duncan been isolated im-mediately on his first visit to Presbyterian. But the attentionwould have more closely resembled what surrounded FortWorth's Dr. Kent Brantly after he contracted Ebola in West Africaand returned to the U.S. to be cured.

The idea is to prevent panic, but the missteps in the handlingof Duncan's case accomplished the opposite. Dallas, renownedfor its world-class health care network, now shines as an exampleof mistakes to avoid with Ebola.

Neighbors need to be reported to policeDear Annie: My next-

door neighbors are breed-ing and selling dogs illegal-ly. Sometimes they have asmany as 18 dogs in thehouse. The problem is hav-ing to put up with all thatbarking, and even worse,the smell permeates ourdriveway, porch and yard.It is disgusting.

We are retired and havea beautiful home. We can-not enjoy our own yard be-cause of these neighbors,and selling is not an option.I have tried everythingfrom attempting to reasonwith them to reportingthem to the city and animalcontrol centers, to no avail.Each agency passes thebuck.

In addition, I am surethey are not paying taxeson this illegal business ven-ture. What other avenuescan I pursue? -- Barking Upa Tree

Dear Barking: Haveyou tried the police? Ifthis is an illegal enter-prise, the police should

arrest them. Have youcalled the humane soci-ety? If the dogs are beingmistreated, the humanesociety should get in-volved. Also look into lo-cal noise ordinances andcheck out your home-owners or neighborhoodassociation, if there isone, and find outwhether there is any typeof intervention or media-tion available to you.

Dear Annie: I am tired ofhearing women complainabout their mothers-in-law.I have raised a son, sacri-ficed, worried, lost sleep,worked jobs I didn’t wantand devoted my entire life

to what was best for him --as all mothers do. Idreamed that one day hewould marry and havechildren, enriching ourfamily. Then he meets “theone,” and she is acceptedand welcomed. We helpthem get settled and offerfinancial assistance andemotional support, be-cause I want my son andhis family to be happy.

And then one day itstarts. You are no longergreeted with open arms.You have to call first beforestopping by (even if you arenext door). You get lecturesabout “boundaries,” and inthe worst case, you are ex-iled.

Do you want to knowwhat I think? I think thereare rotten little girls whoneed to control their menand are too insecure to ac-cept their mothers-in-lawas “Mom” and instead seeyou as the “other woman.”They show no respect. Amother has a relationshipwith her son that should be

cherished, not destroyed.I pity their own daugh-

ters if they are raised bysuch messed-up womenand can only hope that kar-ma prevails if they havesons of their own. --Unhappy Mother of a Son

Dear Unhappy: Whilewe agree that somedaughters-in-law can beinsecure and jealous oftheir mothers-in-law, wecompletely disagreewhen it comes to drop-ping by without callingfirst. Too many parentstrespass all over theirchildren’s boundaries, asif they don’t apply tothem. If you want to betreated with respect, youalso have to show respectfor the married couple.We don’t care whosemother you are.

Grim ReaperLiam Neeson takes a stroll on the Big Apple’s dark & seedy side

“Behind you! Behindyou!!!” the lady seated be-side me urgently whisperedto the screen, to LiamNeeson’s character, as un-seen danger crept towardhim from the shadows.

At this stage of his ca-reer, Neeson is fairly accus-tomed to threats in theshadows—and often it’shim. At 62, he has emergedas one of Hollywood’s lead-ing “older” action stars,playing weathered, well-worn men well-versed incovert ops, and more ex-treme activities when need-ed, in the successful three-movie Taken franchise andthe recent high-in-the-skyairplane drama Non-Stop.

In the new thriller-chiller A Walk Among theTombstones, based on anovel by popular crime-mystery writer LawrenceBlock, he’s Matt Scudder, arumpled, crumpled NewYork City ex-cop loner onthe trail of two pervs pluck-ing women off the streetsand subjecting them to un-speakable horrors. The titlehelps set the creepy stageright off the bat, and theopening credits—whichplay over a “dreamy” scenethat you slowly realize is ac-tually a nightmare—hitsyou like a punch to the gut.The grim atmosphere is or-

chestrated by cinematogra-pher Mihai Malaimare Jr.,who shoots the grungy NewYork locations in muted,washed-out tones andsmoky pastels that matchScudder’s bleak, bleachedemotions, drained of colorand joy after all that he’sseen…and done.

The story is set in 1999,which also plays into thelook of the movie—it was atime before much of the BigApple’s modern urban-re-newal polishing, and it bur-

rows into the city’s shab-bier side streets and seedierlocations to give real-life di-mensions to its down-and-out drama. Scudder’s a re-covering alcoholic, whichalso contributes to thetheme of brokenness—andalso the hopeful idea ofworking toward repara-tion.

Brian “Astro” Bradleyplays a homeless teen—andaspiring detective—who be-comes Scudder’s tag-alongsidekick. Dan Stevens

(Matthew Crawley onDownton Abbey) is a pros-perous heroin traffikerwhose wife’s kidnappingdraws Scudder down anever-darkening trail that ul-timately leads him to thetombstones of the title.

This is a movie about vi-olent, twisted people, al-though much of the vio-lence is left to the imagina-tion rather than depicted.Most of the story is aboutthe process, the escalatingcat-and-mouse game, the

“procedural” that will be fa-miliar to anyone whowatches TV shows like CSI,Law and Order or CriminalMinds. But that doesn’tmake it any less unsettling,especially when one of thevictims is a 13-year-old girl,or when the camera lingerson a kidnapper fondling thetools of his torture trade, orasking one of his terrified,bound captives a questionthat should make the skincrawl on any woman, ofany age.

“People are afraid of allthe wrong things,” says themovie’s tagline. The wrongthings, it suggests, are“scary” but benign places,like cemeteries, or the fearof death. The true terrors,and the real monsters, it sochillingly reminds us, canbe ordinary-looking peoplein a cargo van cruising upand down the street, in ahouse next door—or sneak-ing up from the shadowsright now, behind you, be-hind you!

Special to the ReviewYouTube sensation and

identical twins known as“TornadoTwins” reveal 5-year secret project of turn-ing the stories of the Bibleinto a series of videogames. The project’s ongo-ing KickStarter is causinga wave of online giving,and ends Nov. 1.

On Sept 1, Ruben andEfraim Meulenberg up-loaded a video announcingtheir secret project to turnthe Bible’s best-known sto-ries into video games. Theproject, “the Game Bible,”is the Bible in game form,and started in secret fiveyears ago. The revealingvideo includes lush 3D vi-suals created by the twin’s

team of professionals whoalso worked on Star Wars,Lego, Assassins Creed andmore.

Immediate internationalpraise

The game immediatelygained international atten-tion and support from boththe gaming and religiousaudiences.

“It’s quite surreal” saidEfraim, lead developer onthe Game Bible.

“We didn’t know whatkind of response we’d get.But we’ve been over-whelmed. We’re receivingthumbs-ups from people ofall walks of life, atheists aswell as Christians.”

The project was featuredfront-page on Norway’slargest newspaper, on the

largest gaming sites suchas GameSpot.com, and be-came “New game of theweek” on UK’s GameSpy.Christian circulations alsowelcomed the Game Bible,from the Christian Post, topastors.com to pastor RickWarren’s toolbox.

Pastor Rick Warren, au-thor of the Purpose DrivenLife, said it’s “A gamechanger for gamers andfamilies alike.”

More cultures and placesthen Lord of the Rings

With the Game Bible, thetwins have started what’sarguably one of the biggestchallenges a game studiohas ever faced – to turn thefull Bible into a series ofvideo games.

“We’ve always been

amazed by Peter Jackson,who brought all MiddleEarth cultures to the bigscreen. But compared toLord of the Rings, the Biblehas many more cultures,”says Ruben, lead writer. “Infact, half of David’s storyhas more battles then allMiddle Earth sagas com-bined. It’s a huge undertak-ing and we want it to be his-torically and Biblically cor-rect in it as well.”

If Michelangelo had acomputer…

Although some may ar-gue that the Bible is a bookof the past, the numberssay otherwise. The Bible isstill the most sold book inHistory, and now even in-spires Hollywood, withmovies from “The

Passion,” to “Noah” to theupcoming “Exodus.”

“If Michelangelo had acomputer, what would hemake?” said Efraim. “Foryears, artists from all cul-tures and times have beeninspired by the Bible. WhatRembrandt did with paint,we do with 3D art and pro-gramming. We want to hon-or the Bible the same waythey did, but with the toolsof today.”

An ode to the Bible ANDan ode to games.

The twins’ game doesn’tonly cater to enthusiasts ofthe Bible, but also enthusi-asts of games in general.

“Games are the largestart-form of our time,” saysRuben. “Many people don’trealize it’s no longer a

medium for teenage boysonly. The average age ofgamers is 35, and there aretwo gamers in everyAmerican household.Parents and kids play to-gether. But due to howgames started, they’vebeen criticized for lack ofdepth. By bringing theBible to games, we alsoshow what games are capa-ble of.”

Pastor - Dale Perry

By the Rev. Susie BartonSOLID ROCK CHURCH

It means that it’s one whopreys on others. Prey, mean-ing to hunt down and attack.

To pilferage or take what doesnot belong to them.

Satan is that predator. He at-tacks when you least expect it.And he will try to take what be-longs to you. What he strives totake more than anything, is to re-move God from your life.

The bible speaks about theSheppard and his flock. He over-sees it and protects it from thepredators. A wolf will come upand grab one of the sheep, and inan instant, it is gone. And it hap-pens just that fast.

They are skilled in their ap-proach, because the wolf is ahunter and hungry. So he will killin order to satisfy himself re-gardless of the sheep’s feelings.So he attacks.

He will usually attack in thedarkness, because in the light, hewould be seen. It depends on just

how hungry he is at the time. Satan is getting that hungry.

He lives in darkness, and hestrikes the same way. But be-cause his time is running out,and he has gotten more hungry,his attacks are becoming morebolder and more careless. He re-ally believes he is winning thisbattle.

But remember that theShepherd protects his flock dayand night. Every now and then,one sheep will wander away. Hesearches it out, and brings itback.

But sometimes, one will be-come lost and not found. It mayhave been tempted by greenergrass just over the hill, or a cooldrink of water in a valley.

When we are in a low place inour lives, or in that valley, he willtempt us with that cool drink. Orhe will make promises of greenergrass somewhere else. And hewill try to lure you away by your-self where you are weaker withno protection and no support of

those around you. He will try to isolate you from

your family and your friends. Hewants you to feel alone. It’s likethe sheep that wondered away,not paying any attention as hegrazes.

But then he looks up in sur-prise and finds that he can’t seethe flock. But coming over theridge is his shepherd to bring himback. So he begins to run towardshim feeling happy, because heknows that he has been rescuedand is safe.

God is like that. He sees uswhen we wander off, and he’s sohappy when we return. His wayrequires a little work. It requiresfollowing his commands. It re-quires loving someone when theyare not very loveable. It requiresyou to be a shepherd when yousee someone lost and alone.

Satan makes his way appeareasy. He does it through deceit,envy, confusion and so many oth-er ways. He paints a good picture.He doesn’t require much work.

He makes it easy to stray in thewrong direction. It’s almost ef-fortless. Just like the sheep graz-ing who keeps his head down allthe time while he is wonderingaway.

Then he is surprised when helooks up, and he is in an unfa-miliar place, scared, isolatedand all alone. Listen to your in-ner voice and to the spirit ofGod speak to you. Don’t takeyour eyes off of the shepherd.Raise your head from time totime to make sure that you arestill in the fold. And that youhave not wondered away.

John 10: The Shepherd andHis Flock

6: Jesus used this figure ofspeech, but they did not under-stand what he was telling them.

7: Therefore Jesus said again,“I tell you the truth, I am thegate for the sheep.

8: “All who ever came beforeme were thieves and robbers,but the sheep did not listen tothem.

9: “I am the gate; whoever en-ters through me will be saved.He will come in and go out, andfind pasture.

10: “The thief comes only tosteal and kill and destroy; I havecome that they may have life,and have it to the full.

11: “I am the good shepherd.The good shepherd lays downhis life for the sheep.”

Don’t let a predator come intoyour life. Be on guard with yourhead up and your eyes open.And stay under the protectionof your shepherd the Lord yourGod, whose eyes are on his flockand who never sleeps.

He’s the one who is willing toleave the 99 sheep, and bring theone lost one back home wherehe is safe and cared for.

Be wary of predators. Knowthem for what they are.Destroyers, deceivers and de-vouring anything that gets intheir way. Know the signs byknowing Gods word, and know-ing God himself.

Don’t let a predator enter your life

The bidding:NORTH EAST SOUTH WESTPass Pass 4♠ PassPass Pass

Opening lead: Ace of ♥

Today’s deal is from a du-plicate game, where everytrick is precious. South took arisk when he opened fourspades — he might havemissed an easy slam. Partnerwas a passed hand and hewanted to ward off potentialcompetition, so he took thechance. Just as well — part-ner was broke! Could he evenmake four?

West started with three

rounds of hearts, South ruff-ing the third. Declarer contin-ued with the ace of diamondsfollowed by the queen of dia-monds. This was not the bestplay, but it presented Eastwith a fascinating bridgeproblem. East suspected thislayout of the cards and couldhave given partner a diamondruff to defeat the contract. Butwhat if partner started withqueen third of spades? Westwould be ruffing with a natu-ral trump trick. East decidedthat they might defeat thecontract two tricks if heplayed a trump instead.

West didn’t quite have thetrump holding that East washoping for, and East had toendure a barrage of spadesfrom declarer. The defenderhad to find four discards, andhe backed his card-readingwith his courage and dis-carded the 10, jack, king andace of clubs to keep his pre-cious 10 of diamondsguarded. He was rewardedwhen he scored that 10 at thelast trick. Whew!

South should have run allbut one trump right away,without touching diamonds.Only a clairvoyant East wouldhave shed three clubs andkept all his diamonds.

That would be $10,000 home-stead and $15,000 for either disabili-ty or seniors. An exemption for ac-tive military can be discussed andpassed with a city ordinance.

• Athens Daily Review – Whowill be allowed to vote for theproposed property tax?

Gun Barrel City – Citizens willsee the tax when they receive theirappraisal in October 2015. The citywon't see any money until 2016.

• Athens Daily Review – Howwill the proposed tax be used?

Gun Barrel City – The currentformula is 60 percent to build newroad, 20 percent to the police de-partment and 20 percent to the firedepartment. The way the wordingis on the ballot, these are the onlydepartments that can use the pro-posed tax.

Gun Barrel City – The city had anassessment completed on the roads.The assessment was done free forthe city. The roads are rated poor toexcellent. The city will start with

the poor roads. With the tax, itwould take 10 to 15 years to com-plete all the roads. Without the pro-posed tax, it would take 33 years.

Gun Barrel City – The city had anindependent survey completed torank our police officers to othercities. GBC is now equal to similarcities after the survey. We adjustedall city employees salaries with a 2-percent cost-of-living increase, andadjusted some salaries to competewith other cities.

increase the rate. • Athens Daily Review – If the

• Athens Daily Review – Arethere any other comments youwould like to make about pro-posed tax vote?

Mayor Jim Braswell – “I wouldlike to address some of these lettersto the editor in the local papers. Wehave elected not to respond to theletters. Instead, we will answer allquestions during Town Hall meet-ings the city has been holding.

“Most of the letters deal with atrust issue. It doesn't sit well with usthat we are not trusted. The peopleat city hall are working diligently tomake life better in Gun Barrel City.City hall’s doors are open to the cit-izens who would like to talk toGerry Boren or myself. I take of-fense to some of the letters.

Head coach Brad Smileysaid the focus is on the No.16-ranked team in the coun-try — Blinn.

“Our only focus is on thisgame this week,” Smileysaid. “If we beat Blinn, weare the conference champs,the No. 1 seed and we aresitting in the drivers seatfor everything else. This isfor everything and we arethe only team in the coun-try that can close every-thing out in Week 7.”

The road to the seventhstraight win will not beeasy for the Cardinals.

They will face a teamthat averages 63.8 pointsper game and puts up an av-erage of 634.2 yards of totaloffense per game. Theyonly allow 22.2 points pergame on defense.

“You have to tackle welland we have to get to theirquarterback,” Smiley said.

“There is going to be a lotof one-on-one opportuni-ties. They have won theirfair share of those opportu-nities. We will have to winsome of those chances aswell.”

The Cardinal defensewill have to find a way tocontain redshirt freshmanquarterback Jake Hubenakand receiver DedeWestbrook.

Hubenak comes into thegame with 2,410 yards pass-ing on 135-of-200 attempts.He has 32 touchdowns tosix interceptions.

Westbrook had 48 recep-tions for 983 yards and ninetouchdowns.

“This game is going to beup front on both sides ofthe ball,” Smiley said. “Ithink our success Saturdayevening and wrapping thischampionship up is goingto be on the defensive lineand their ability to makeHubenak uncomfortableand get in his face.

“Westbrook has shownto be a special playmakerlike Jarvis Baxter. He

moves at a different speedand does some differentthings.”

The Cardinals willcounter with quarterbackKyle Postma and top receiv-er Jarvis Baxter.

Postma has thrown for2,022 yards and 26 touch-downs with six intercep-tions.

Baxter has 26 receptionsfor 539 yards and eighttouchdowns.

For Cody Ohl, it took a lot of determi-nation to secure a spot in this year’sWrangler National Finals Rodeo.

In late June, the roping superstar wassidelined with a bruised lung and brokenribs after being hit by a heifer in a ranch-ing accident.

Ohl, 41, a six-time Professional RodeoCowboys Association world championfrom Hico, spent four days in the hospitalbefore being released June 26. Ohl wassidelined during Cowboy Christmas,which is the July Fourth week when thereare more lucrative rodeos scheduled thana cowboy can travel to.

With a feeling of urgency, Ohl returnedto the circuit in mid-July. He entered thetraditional Snake River Stampede Rodeoin Nampa, Idaho.

“I had sat out for about three weeks and Iwas still two weeks away from my firstcheckup,” Ohl said. “But I figured theNampa rodeo was the latest I could wait inorder to have a chance to make the NationalFinals, and sure enough, I was right.”

When Ohl showed up at Nampa, hisearnings were $15,076 in the tie-down rop-ing event. He won the Snake RiverStampede and continued to win big. Frommid-July through September, he earned$50,206. When the regular season conclud-ed on Sept. 30, Ohl’s earnings were$65,282.

To qualify for the National Finals, Dec.4-13 in Las Vegas, a competitor must fin-ish the regular season ranked in the top 15in an event. Ohl is ranked 14th in tie-downroping and he has earned his 20thNational Finals berth.

But Gray apparently has recoveredwell and is attempting to qualify for the2015 National Finals. When theProfessional Rodeo Cowboys Associationbegan its 2015 regular season last week-

end, Gray earned $5,780 after clinchingthe bareback riding title at the PRCA’sWrangler Champions Challenge tour stopon Saturday in Kissimmee, Fla.

Gray earned the title after turning in ascore of 81.5 aboard a bronc named Bi-po-lar, owned by Pete Carr Classic Pro Rodeo.Gray has earned eight National FinalsRodeo berths (2005-11, 2013).

Another cowboy who hit the road dur-ing the first weekend of the 2015 seasonwas 19-time world champion TrevorBrazile who earned $10,052 at threerodeos. He finished second in tie-downroping at the Kissimmee-basedChampions Challenge. He also placed insteer roping at rodeos in the Texas townsof Hempstead and Rosenberg.

The first homecoming for theAthens Christian PreparatoryAcademy Storm gets under waySaturday afternoon as they lookto end a three-game losingstreak.

Head coach Shawn San Miguelwelcomes the ROMEO PrepAcademy for Boys Blue Knightsto Storm Field for a noon kickoff.

“It is very important,” SanMiguel said about homecoming.“It is our first homecoming atour school and on our field. Iwant to take the energy that wehad last week and bring it herethis week. I hope we can executea little better than we did lastweek and get the win.”

The Storm dropped a 58-52overtime thriller to the TylerKing's Academy Knights, as theytied the game on a touchdownpass with nine seconds remain-ing in the back of the end zone.

San Miguel said even with theloss, the players knew what mis-takes they made during thegame.

“It was actually pretty good af-ter the game,” San Miguel said.“We had a couple of mental mis-takes here and there during the

game. The kids realized that andthey got back to work trying tocorrect those issues.”

He said he was proud of theway the kids performed in frontof an emotional crowd last week.

“That is probably the first mo-ment that everything has cometogether for us this season,” SanMiguel said. “The kids played totheir fullest potential and theyhave done everything that theyhave worked for so it was a greatmoment.”

The Blue Knights come in tothe contest with a 4-2 record aver-aging 51.4 points per game.ROMEO Prep was unable to playtheir last game due to a forfeit byUnion Hill.

“They are a very, very strongteam,” San Miguel said. “A goodfriend of mine is the athletic di-rector up there so it will be a re-ally good game. It is always agood game between friends.”

Senior Nathan Robinson andD'Arquez Tennon are two playersSan Miguel said they are payingattention to in preparation forthe game.

“I have not gotten the film yetbut I have some information. Iknow No. 33 (Robinson) is sup-posed to be a big manchild for

them,” San Miguel said. “No. 88(Tennon), who is their center, issupposed to be able to catch andhe is supposed to have really goodhands. No. 33 is going to be theguy that we have to shut downjust like No. 34 was last week.”

Junior athlete Dillon Santelliand sophomore quarterback ZayRidgle are two players who SanMiguel hopes will have explosivegames again this week.

“We definitely need to work onour blocking in the backfield,”San Miguel said. “When they ex-

ecuted it went well and whenthey didn't it went bad. Dillontook a lot on his shoulders and sodid Zay this week.”

San Miguel hopes the crowdwill be into the game as much asthey were last week against TylerKing's.

“It was awesome last week. Ihad told some of the kids and theparents that it was almost likeplaying in a stadium for me,” SanMiguel said. “I don't think I haveever heard a six-man game bethat loud before.”

The Trinidad Trojans wel-come in their alumni for home-coming Saturday riding a two-game losing streak.

The Trojans open District 15-A, Division II play with theLadonia Fannindel Falcons, whocome in with a 2-3 record. Kickofffor the game is set for 7:30 p.m.

“This is a huge game in ourdistrict race,” Second-year coachTom McVey said. “Not only is itthe district opener, it is alsohomecoming so our kids will beexcited and ready to go out andget a win and show our oppo-nents that we are still alive andnot giving up.”

The Trojans come into thegame favored by 45 points accord-ing to sixmanfootball.com.

McVey's Trojans (4-2) lost atough game last week to theJonesboro Eagles, 41-16, atTrojan Field.

“Heading into district thisweek on a two-game losing streak

has us getting refocused and get-ting back to basics,” McVey said.“After watching film from bothgames, it seems we need to do abetter job of blocking and tack-ling.”

The Trinidad defense allowed420 yards of offense last week tothe Eagles.

Jonesboro sophomore RobertRobuck and senior Tommy Isomcombined for 236 yards of of-fense.

“We didn't play good basic foot-ball last week,” McVey said. “Weare just trying to focus on thegood instead of the bad andbuilding on that. We have to comeout and play hard-nose footballthis week.”

Fannindel looks to bounceback from a 68-20 loss toLeverett's Chapel in the non-dis-trict finale for both schools lastweek.

McVey said Fannindel is a ballclub they cannot look past onSaturday night.

“Fannindel is a good team that

can score points,” McVey said.“They are not as fast as the lasttwo teams we have played, but wecannot overlook them or we willcome up short again this week.”

In the three losses, Fannindelhas been held to under 30 points aball game.

McVey said running backAkeyl Ceasar and quarterbackJarvis Wilburn are players towatch.

“They have some speed in thebackfield and if we don't containthem, it could be a long night,”McVey said. They don't throw theball very well so if they come outin spread we are going to try tomake him throw it and hope toget some interceptions.”

With the loss of junior JovanteHornbuckle late in the loss toJonesboro with an injury, McVeysaid fans can expect to see himback in action this weekend.

“Jovante's injury was just aslight strain. He came into prac-tice Monday ready to go. We willtake some precautions to make

sure his ankle is good, but overallhe is good,” McVey said. “He willrun and throw the ball for us justlike before and Matt (Snider) willdo the same. We hope to get ourpassing game back on track thisweek too.”

District of gloom?District 9-4A has not lived up to the preseason hype as Brownsboro hosts Chapel Hill

Eustace seeks to defendarea’s longest playoff streak

Mabank travelsto Wills Point

By Chad WilsonEDITOR

Coming into the 2014high school football season,District 9-4A Division Ilooked like the new“District of Doom” withthree teams ranked in thetop-14 of the Class 4AAssociated Press Poll.

Defending Class 3A statechampion Carthage en-tered the season ranked No.4 while state runner-upKilgore was ranked No. 8.

Chapel Hill was rankedNo. 14 to round out the topteams in district.

My, how the mighty havefallen.

As Brownsboro preparesto open play in the “Districtof Gloom” the task ofreaching the playoff seemsa bit easier now than whenthe season started.

None of the teams fromDistrict 9-4A Division I areanywhere close to a top-20rating in the AP poll. Infact, the six teams in thenewly aligned district are acombined 9-21 through thefirst five games of the sea-son.

Despite the records, sec-ond-year Brownsboro headcoach Jason Hooker be-lieves it will be a challengeweek in and week out start-ing with Chapel Hill Fridaynight.

“We know we have sometough challenges in frontof us with the new district.It is exciting because weare playing against some ofthe best teams in the stateand we are playing againstsome new teams,” he said.“It is not every day you

have Chapel Hill, Carthageor Kilgore rolling intoBrownsboro. It is good ex-posure for our kids. It is agreat challenge. It is excit-ing to play some of the bestteams in the state withsome of the best coaches inthe state.”

The opening night of dis-trict bring Chapel Hill toBrownsboro whileHenderson travels toCarthage and Kilgore hostswinless Palestine.

Kilgore, Brownsboroand Carthage have just onewin apiece entering playFriday but Kilgore has lostthree games by seven com-bined points and a fourth inovertime.

Henderson (4-1) andChapel Hill (3-2) sit atop thestandings going into dis-trict play.

The top four teams in thedistrict advance to the post-season. It begins Nov. 13,and the district will face offagainst District 10-4A inthe first round of the post-season.

That district consists ofBridge City, Cleveland,Huffman-Hargrave, Jasper,Little CypressMauriceville, Silsbee andSplendora.

Jasper and LC-Mauriceville are both 2-0 indistrict. Those teams arefollowed by Huffman-Hargrave, which is 5-0 onthe season, but has playedjust one district game thusfar.

First for the Bears willbe the task of stopping ju-nior running backJa’Braylon Franklin who

leads Chapel Hill with 330rushing yards this season.

“We are going to seesome great athletes. Theyhave a lot of speed on thefield. The fastest man onthe field is going to be No. 2Ja’Braylon Franklin,”Hooker said. “He is going tobe the starting tailback. Heis very explosive, very fast.He is not a huge guy, butvery fast. Everything kindof goes through him.”

Brownsboro, 1-4, will tryto slow a Bulldog attackthat has passed for 690yards on the season whilerushing for 992 yards.

“Chapel Hill is very mul-tiple on offense by forma-tion, but they want to runthe ball. They want to es-tablish the run and theythink they have a stable ofbacks that can do that,”Hooker said. “They arethree and four deep at run-

ning back and really do notmiss much as far as speed-wise.”

While Franklin is theleading rusher, ReggieKing leads the team witheight touchdowns. NoBulldog running back hasrushed for 100 yards in agame this season.

Konnor Hitchcock is theChapel Hill quarterback.He is 54-of-108 passing for690 yards this season with

six touchdowns and five in-terceptions.

“They will look to passsome, but they really try toestablish the run,” Hookersaid. “They have a good at-tack in all areas of the field.We cannot key in on anyone thing. We will have tocontain Franklin.”

Brownsboro should beable to move they ballagainst the Bulldogs as thedefensive scheme forChapel Hill is not complex.

“Defensively, the baseout of a 3-4. They havethree down linemen, fourlinebackers with a cover-two secondary. They areathletic on defense, but notquite as complicated defen-sively as some of the teamswe have seen so far. Weknow the looks we are go-ing to get.”

Coming off a record-set-ting game against Rusk,Brownsboro quarterbackWill Bailey will look to con-tinue to give the Bears lifethrough the air Fridaywhile Damien Thompson,Kenneth Woods and WyattRinehart will pace therushing attack.

“We have a challengeahead of us, but we do havethem at home,” Hookersaid. “We have worked twoweeks on them, just as theyhave us. We are excitedabout having an opponentof that caliber coming in toplay Friday night.”

Kickoff for the game isscheduled for 7:30 p.m. atBear Stadium. Chapel Hillis favored by 38 points ac-cording to the weeklyHarris Ratings.

“It could be a close gameagain like it has been the pasttwo years,” coach JaredWingfield said. “We are goingto go in with the mentality thateverything is 0-0 and we havethe opportunity to get our firstwin in district.”

Wingfield said after a 1-4start, the players and coachestook advantage of the openweek to prepare for the gamesthat count.

“It was good. We got somegood work done,” Wingfieldsaid. “After watching film wedissected some stuff from thepast five weeks and looked atthings we need to work on.”

The Tigers are 3-2 overall un-der first-year coach GregCranfill. Wills Point picked upa 39-20 win over the CantonEagles two weeks ago and wasopen last week. The Tigers de-fense knocked out Cantonquarterback Chandler Eilandin that game.

Wills Point blew the gameopen in the second quarteroutscoring Canton, 20-2, for a26-14 halftime lead.

Wingfield said he is aware of

the talented receivers JahGolden and Tre'VaughnWilliams, who lead the team inreceiving. He said runningback Marques Crouch andquarterback Kaese Kosko areplayers to watch.

“Offensively, they have somegood skill kids on the perime-ter and a good running back,”Wingfield said. “We have to doa good job of making sure thatwe play the run first and thenget back to control the pass.Defensively, I think it will be agood test for us.”

The Panthers offense looksto heat up after scoring 14touchdowns in the first fivegames. Senior quarterbackCody Thompson is 49-of-102passing for 774 yards with fourtouchdowns and nine intercep-tions.

All four of his touchdownshave gone to senior wideoutColt Conway, who has 21 catch-es for 360 yards.

“On offense, we have to makeplays when we need to andmake sure we fix some of thered zone issues that we havehad problems with all year,”Wingfield said.

Wingfield said starting thedistrict campaign at 1-0 is big.They will host Athens and trav-el to Van the next two weeks.

“You always want to start 1-0in district. It gives you somemomentum and that is impor-tant to us. We are not going toput all of our eggs in that bas-ket,” Wingfield said. “This dis-trict has been up and down allyear and we think it is wideopen in some places.”

The Eustace Bulldogs headinto the District 11-3A, Division Ischedule with the longest playoffstreak in Henderson County.

With a playoff streak sitting atsix years, the Bulldogs (3-2) travelto Elkhart to face a team sitting at2-2 after the first half.

Second-year coach HeathRagle said the Elks give him someconcerns heading into the opener.

“They are going to be reallyathletic and they have some greatskill kids,” Ragle said. “They canscore at any moment and thequarterback is elusive.”

Quarterback Austin Sheridanis 61-of-99 passing for 972 yardswith six touchdowns and four in-terceptions. He is second in rush-ing yards with 25 carries for 105yards and six touchdowns.

Ragle said another player whois on their radar is junior tail-

back Zack Gray. Gray has run for462 yards and three touchdowns,with his best game coming in a 36-33 loss to Trinity.

Gray ran for 201 yards and twotouchdowns in that game.

“The running back is a physi-cal back and is a playmaker. Ithink he is the one that makesthem go consistently so we haveour hands full this week,” Raglesaid. “We saw a bunch of good of-fenses during the pre-district so itis very comparable to Scurry-Rosser.”

The Bulldogs bring in the one-two punch of senior LanceRogers, who has run for 673 yardsand eight touchdowns to comple-ment junior Keenan Hargest.Hargest has run for 739 yards and10 touchdowns on 115 carries.

With the Bulldogs favored byone point by the Harris RatingsSystem, Ragle said the keys tovictory are the same as always at

Eustace High School“I think we need to play good

defense. We have to limit their bigplays and we cannot give themthose plays,” Ragle said.“Controlling the ball is alwaysour main goal and we cannotturn the ball over.”

Ragle said with Elkhart, Kempand Westwood in the first threeweeks, the players have handledthe pressure of the district verywell. They wrap up the seasonhosting Teague and traveling toMalakoff.

“It has been really good. I thinkwe are more mature with thisgroup of kids than we have beenin the past,” Ragle said. “We haveto take it one game at a time andwe think this is probably one ofthe toughest districts we havehad in the last four or five years inEustace. We think if we keepworking hard, then things couldgo our way.”

Harris Poll.”Coach Jarred Moffatt's team

will be looking for a bit of re-venge after last season's 28-23 lossto the Hornets. Van holds a 3-2 se-ries lead since 2006.

“I expect the same type ofgame. I expect it to be a fight tothe end and if you are a footballfan for Van or Athens you want tobe there,” Essary said. “Thestands are going to be full on bothsides and it will be great weather.You better get there early becauseyou may not find a seat.”

The rushing attack for bothteams will be on display Fridaynight. The Vandals have a run-ning back duo in junior AlphonsoThomas and senior Matt Savis,who have rushed for 518 yardsand 398 yards respectively.

They have a top quarterback insenior Peter Maddox. Maddox is61-of-94 for 935 with 12 touch-downs to three interceptions.

“If we are going to be success-ful, we have to limit the big plays.Van is very capable of making bigplays in the air and on theground,” Essary said. “They havetwo excellent running backs.

They can have a play designed tothe right and by the time it is donethe backs have cut it to the leftand they are off to the races.”

The Hornets will counter withsenior Devin Hall and juniorLogan Fuller. Fuller has run for794 yards and five touchdowns,while Hall has run for 509 yardsand five touchdowns.

“We are not going to changeanything we have done. We havedone this for five or six years nowand that is who we are,” Essarysaid. “I do not think Van willchange a lot because they are 5-0and the No. 8 team in the state in

the AP poll. They are going todance with the girl who theybrought to the dance.”

On defense, the Vandals are ledby senior end Brice Borgeson, aNorthwestern State commitmentand linebacker Hunter Redmond.According to ETSN.fm, Redmondleads East Texas in tackles with80 through five games.

Essary said those are two play-ers to watch Friday night.

“It is very important becauseVan will give us different looks,”Essary said. “We need to makesure our pad level is down and westay aggressive throughout the

ball game.”The Hornets are favored by

three points.

In a 41-12 win over Anderson-Shiro last week during homecom-ing, Baker ran for 169 yards whileHicks had 75 yards and Cernochhad 35 yards. Steven Green had astrong performance with 142

yards on just eight carries.Driskell said when he saw

Westwood had 431 yards rushinglast week against Anderson-Shiro, he knew where the teamneeded to focus its attention.

“Their rushing attack is ourbiggest concern and they are re-

ally good at it,” Driskell said.“They have kids that can run andthey are running it pretty danggood. The biggest thing is we can-not sit back and wait. We have tobe in attack mode because theywill be in attack mode offensivelyas well.”

Driskell said with Elkhart andTeague following Friday night'sgame, the Tigers need to stay fo-cused on the task at hand.

“The records are cool andeverything is pretty neat,”Driskell said. “It is all about get-ting this first district win and you

do not want to start out in thehole. You have to do what you canto win the game. We want the kidsto focus on one week at a time. Itis too early to look ahead andWestwood is good enough to beatus if we look ahead.”

Malakoff facing a Westwood team on the rise to open district

By Joe ElersonSTAFF WRITER

With District 8-4A, Division Istarting up Friday night, the im-plications for an opening winwere clear from Athens coachPaul Essary on Wednesday.

“The first game of district is al-ways important. Whoever winsit, there will be three teams whoare successful and three of uswho are not successful,” Essarysaid. “Whoever wins is in the dri-ver’s seat for a state playoff spot.”

The Hornets face a Top 10ranked team in the Van VandalsFriday night. They will then trav-

el to Mabank, host Kaufman,travel to Crandall and wrap up athome against the Wills PointTigers.

Essary said with three newcoaches at Wills Point, Kaufmanand Crandall, getting the winsearly can have your team in thedriver’s seat.

“You still have the top seat witha win for a possible district cham-pionship spot,” Essary said.“That is why it is important tocome out with a win. If you don't,you have your back against thewall a little bit and you have topress a little bit more.”

He said he is pleased with theprogress of his team right now.He knows the next five weeks willgive a measuring stick for a possi-ble return to the playoffs.

“Even in district play, we haveto get ready and improve eachweek. If we stay the same, ratherif you win or lose, you have wast-ed an entire week of practice. Wehave to improve and it is about usand we have to take care of our-selves. If we do that, then thescoreboard will take care of itselfin the long run.”

Following a big win over theRobinson Rockets during home-

coming on Sept. 26, Athens (3-2)was able to take advantage of itsopen week.

Essary said the open weekcame just at the right time for hisball club.

“I thought our open week wentreally well,” Essary said. “Thekids got healthy and I think weare about as healthy as we havebeen since the season started. Weused that to heal some kids up. Ithink we got some fundamentalsand techniques corrected and thekids worked hard and the coachesworked hard.”

The Hornets defense in the

first five games has allowed an av-erage of 25 points per game, 287.8yards of total offense. Opponentshave averaged 54 penalty yardsper game.

The offense has averaged 31points per game, 391.8 yards of to-tal offense. Athens has averaged49.2 yards in penalty yards pergame.

“The overall thoughts are I ampleased with where we are atright now,” Essary said. “We can-not stay where we are at and Ithought we have gotten betterevery week from the first scrim-mage through game five.”

‘Whoever wins is in the driver’s seat’Athens head coach Paul Essary knows the importance of winning the first district game

By Joe ElersonSTAFF WRITER

The Kemp Yellowjacketshead into District 11-3A,Division I action Fridaynight looking to end a five-game losing streak.

But the road to the firstwin is against an undefeat-ed opponent in the No. 7-ranked Teague Lions by theAssociated Press. Teaguecomes in ranked No. 2 inClass 3A, Division I behindthe Malakoff Tigers in theHarris Ratings System.

Kickoff for the game atYellowjacket Stadium is setfor 7:30 p.m.

The high-powered of-fense of the Lions has putup 288 points this season,while allowing 113 points inthe first five games.

“Watching them on film,heck, everything aboutthem scares you,” first-yearcoach Brandon Hankinssaid. “They average 55points a game and averagegiving up 10 points. It willbe a huge challenge for us.Definitely a big test athome.”

Hankins knows control-ling the clock will be a focusfor his team this week.

“They are a very toughopponent,” Hankins said.“They are very wellcoached and really athletic.We have to play smart foot-ball.”

With an offense that hasscored only 51 points and iscoming off of a 62-7 loss to

the Farmersville FightingFarmers in their last game,the Yellowjackets will haveto find a way to move thefootball this week.

“We will have to executereally well to beat them.They have athletes all overthe field so we will have tocontain that,” Hankinssaid. “We must make themdrive the football to score,not give up big plays and wemust drive the ball andscore. We have to controlthe clock.”

The Lions are led by se-nior quarterback AustinSkinner, who has thrownfor 1,656 yards with 20touchdowns and three in-terceptions. He has ran for77 yards and two touch-downs this season.

The top running back forTeague is senior John Lovewith 893 yards and 16touchdowns. He is averag-ing 8.3 yards per carry.

Hankins said having thehome crowd behind themwill be big in the districtopener. He knows a win onFriday will help with theremainder of the districtschedule.

“A win on Friday athome would be a greatboost of confidence for ourkids and community,”Hankins said. “We havestruggled at home and itwould be nice to use ourfield as an advantage.”

He said the bye weekcame at a good time for the

Yellowjackets to get pre-pared for the final stretchof the season.

“The bye week was goodfor us,” Hankins said. “Wereally had a chance to focus

on us and the fundamen-tals. We are a little healthi-er, we still have some nag-

ging injuries but overall weare pretty good.”
