Although the inclement weather prevented Junction HighSchool Golden Band’s 41 members from performing in theirbrand new uniforms, they didn’t let the mist and muddy fieldinterfere with their “Jesus Christ Super Star” performance. Theshow features the music of renowned composer Andrew LloydWebber from his 1973 hit Broadway musical of the same name.

Band Director Dan Wynn explained that the four selectionsperformed, “Heaven on Their Minds”, “I Don’t Know How toLove Him”, “Hosanna” and “Superstar” were arranged especial-ly for the Golden Eagle Band by Luke McMillan, who is theassistant director of the Abilene Wylie High School Band.

The show featured JHS soloists. The band’s multi-talentedhead drum major, Lynsey Gold, played a clarinet solo (whileassistant drum major Abby Jackson directed), directed membersin another of its show pieces, then took her trumpet out to per-form with the band in yet another musical selection. Wynn com-mented on Gold’s enormous talent, saying that she was an all-state clarinetist last year and also plays alto saxophone in theJHS Jazz Band.

Coreigh Lawhon performed a trumpet solo in “I Don’t KnowHow to Love Him” and “Hosanna” featured a baritone solo byJairo Dominguez and Superstar the entire percussion section.

The band’s percussion section includes two JHS students whoalso serve double duty. Eagles running back Eric Aguerro madea touchdown in the second half, played quad drums in the bandduring the halftime show and then made two more touchdownsin the fourth quarter. Senior varsity cheerleader Leaura Mullinsalso played drums in the Golden Eagle Band during halftime.

Army Spc. Luis Moreno, pictured here during his firstdeployment to the Middle East, has just been called toanother tour, leaving his wife and job as a Kimble Countydeputy for a year.

Kimble County’s Deputy Luis Moreno of Junction, Texas,will soon be Army Spc. Luis Moreno, A Company 1-141Infantry, of Baghdad, Iraq. This is the second time, sincejoining the Army Reserves six years ago, that Moreno hasserved in the Middle East.

Moreno, married just two months, expects to be deployedfor at least a year. His unit patrols, acting on intelligence inlocating and routing out terrorist cells. The unit also providesconvoy security from Baghdad to Takrit where IEDs(Improvised Explosive Devices) are a major danger toAmerican soldiers.

Deputy Moreno will be involved in training activities forseveral months, but promised to keep Junction Eagle readersupdated on his non-classified activities whenever possible.Some community members plan to provide support forMoreno and his fellow soldiers while they are serving in Iraq.Certainly, he’ll be receiving his Eagle, so that he can keepabreast of his co-workers via the “Sheriff’s Report”!

Kimble County Sheriff Hilario Cantu expressed his supportof Moreno, and said his service as a Deputy will be missed.

Again, I want to remindeveryone of the Reichenau Gaphistorical marker dedication tobe held Sunday, September 20,beginning at 2:00 in theLondon Community Hall. Areception will follow the pro-gram and marker unveiling.

Condolences are extended toLisa Bowe Loeffler Bynum ofEustace and members of herfamily in the loss of her hus-band, John A. Bynum. Hepassed away September 9, andfuneral services were heldSunday. He was the son-in-lawof the late Victor and KayLoeffler of Junction.

My thanks go to CharlesLoeffler for his thoughtfulnessin forwarding the Bynum obit-uary to me.

I noticed a smattering ofScarlet Salvia abloom haveadded a bit of color to a Fall-like landscape, and my calen-dar reflects the AutumnalEquinox will occur September22, coinciding with the firstday of the new season.Sunday, October 4, will wit-ness the appearance of a fullHarvest Moon, so named for itprovides extra hours of lightfor gathering crops.

On a late-week trip toFredericksburg to fulfill anappointment, I chanced to seeKenneth and Carolyn Sorrellof London when we wereshopping for a little whilebefore returning home.

My week was brightened bymessages from two of myfavorite kinsmen. Gail PearlSales' electronic communiquefrom McKinney was newsy,and Amanda Pearl Covey'stelephone call was unexpectedbut welcome. Amanda hasrecently returned to Sonoraafter spending several monthsin Fresno, California. She is,indeed, happy to be backhome in Texas.

C. Maye Dunlap Nealdropped by the museum andrelayed an interesting storyabout early Kimble County.The W. P. Hoovers were resid-ing just northwest of Junctionwhen a son, Arthur ClintonHoover, was born May 28,1877. Their location was nearthe site of the later race trackowned by N. H. Skaggs. In1881, despite the threat of hos-tile Indian attacks, Mr. andMrs. Hoover and their chil-dren decided to travel west-ward, but when they reachedthe far edge of CrockettCounty, their journey was cutshort because the river was ona rise. That fateful eventprompted a decision to settleright there on the far edge ofthe frontier, where they wereto accumulate vast ranch hold-ings. In later years, C. Maye'saunt married Arthur, the littleboy born during the fledglingdays of Kimble County.

Athar and Lavella DaveeJones of Lake Coleman visit-ed the museum during theweek and left a contributionfor the museum's buildingfund. We acknowledge, withappreciation, their monetarygift for the project.

Lavella, the daughter of thelate D. F. and Verna MillsapDavee, brought along hermother's Grammar Schooldiploma from the Junctionschools. The document wasdated June 1, 1928,and signedby H. B. Cowles, superintend-ent; Wm. Wenzel, principal,and W. P. Riley, president ofthe school board. LeroyBarron was the teacher.Lavella also brought a pro-gram from the Junior-SeniorBanquet dated May 15, 1931.Some of the program partici-pants were Elinor (Eleanor)Highsmith, Raymond Schnei-der, Stella Bissett, BenitaBarnes, Eunice Northcutt,Blackie Motley, and LorenaCouey. Speakers at the eventwere Nellie Bennett, LouiseKnight, and Guy Moses.

Dicky and Cindy Chandler

Skaggs of Salado sent a con-tribution to the building fundin memory of Louise BeckerWhite, and we appreciate theirthoughtfulness.

Plans are being completedfor the October 3 meeting ofEdwards Plateau HistoricalAssociation to be held at theCity Limits Cafe in Eden. Drs.Lamar and Marilynn Johansonof Goldthwaite sent their duespayment, as well as a note theywill be unable to attend as theywill be participating in theinauguration of a new presi-dent at Tarleton State Univer-sity in Stephenville. Duringthe week, Ruth Cooper ofWinters, chairman of RunnelsCounty Historical Commis-sion, made reservations andpaid her dues.

Dr. Marilynn Johanson hasKimble County roots as hergreat-grandparents, Jasper andJulia Oliver Stephen, and sev-eral of their descendants areburied in Junction.

I have long wished forswinging "cafe" doors for thepassageway between the muse-um and our working space/office. My wishes were granted

this week when Ginger BoermAndrews donated the doors.They were fashioned from lum-ber salvaged from the barn thathad belonged to Ginger's great-grandmother, the late RenaPearl Matthews of the IvyCommunity. Joey Andrews andJohnny Way installed the gift,and we appreciate each oneinvolved in the project.

I am indebted to severalother good Samaritans whoseacts of kindness added to ourwell-being. My thanks areextended to Billy Hicks, whoalerted the utility companywhen our street was plungedinto darkness by a power out-age Saturday evening. I wasreminded of the old adage,"You never miss the water 'tilthe well runs dry." I am grate-ful, also, to another neighbor,Clyde Lawler, who volun-teered to push my garbagecontainer through a muddybackyard to the curbside. Isuspect he is the anonymousperson who sees the containeris returned to a convenientplace each Monday after thegarbage collectors have emp-tied the contents. I certainly donot want to omit the names ofC. W. and Joann HerringSchaefer, whose gifts of freshvegetables added a great dealto our summer menus.

Enjoy your week!

CorrectionIn the County Commissioner article for last week, it should havestated that the Commissioners voted to appoint Bill McMillanto the Emergency Services Board for the unexpired term ofBobby Murr ending December 31, 2009, not Bobby Chenault.

In my never ending searchfor the mind I lost, I realized Iam late again for my deadline.This will be short and sweet,so I won’t antagonize theEagle staff too much.

I will add my thanks andpraise for the wonderful rainsover the past few days. Itchanged my attitudeimmensely. The best part isthat, in spite of several inchesof rain, it did not flood orcause any damage. It was soneeded that it just soaked rightinto the ground. One of theresults, however, was that bigswarm of termites! I guessthey were buried very deep inthe ground, and when theystarted reviving, it looked likea cloud. The next day therewere mounds of wings and lit-tle squirmy things, which Iguess were termite larvae. Ifound out that is another lifeform that does not have mysympathy.

Our SPC meeting last weekwas well attended by regularsand past members, MelbaRichardson and MyrleCarlson. We had fun packingup the platoon boxes and filledeight large flat rate boxesagain. It is very rewarding tome, personally, to participatein this activity. Anyone whowould like to support the

troops in other ways can getinformation at www.adopta-platoon.org. Everything frompen pals to special short termprojects are available.

Don’t forget that there willbe a Community Associationmeeting Thursday. I’m glad tosee that Andy and Carla Ivinshave returned from their longvacation in Chile. From what Iunderstand, that is definitelythe place to be during ourlong, hot summers, as that istheir winter.

The dedication for theReichenau Gap historicalmarker is still on for Sunday,

September 20, at 2 p.m. Thereis a nice program planned andrefreshments will be served.

The next event is theLondon community clean-upday set for September 26.Some work has been startedbehind the scenes, such ascleaning out closets in the bighall and dining room, but thereis still much to be done. Ourgoal is to remove all the junk –yes, it is junk – from thegrounds and buildings, includ-ing the fire department build-ings. There might even be alittle reward for those whocome out.

I have had several inquiriesand interest shown for the Fairon the Square. I know severalvendors will be back this year,as well as several new ones.One is called “Gypsy Jewels”which is handmade sterlingsilver jewelry. We always

enjoy the Candles by Teresa,and this year there will be“Scentsy Wickless Candles”offered by Peggy Ragsdale.She and Jolene Williams keepthe Courthouse smelling good.There are at least a couple ofpublic service-type boothsplanned, such as flu shots byBenda Shuler, and informa-tion about the power transmis-sion lines planned through andaround Kimble County. ChiefVernon will once again cookthe briskets for the fire depart-ment dinner, but there are afew surprises planned for that,as well. All in all, I think thismay be the best Fair yet – eachyear it just gets better.

I’ll see y’all out therebetween the bridges ofKimble County – maybe someday there will be somethingUNDER the bridges, likewater!

We had another grocerystore burglary and diversioncrime to tie us up last Fridaynight. Sgt. House and ChiefDeputy Leistikow spent a goodpart of the weekend workingthe case, and along withDeputy Steve Brown, theywere able to make an arrestthat will clear the four differentcrimes over the last twoFridays. Justice of the PeacePeggy Ragsdale came out toissue a warrant. She is alwaysgreat about working all hoursof the day and all days of theweek. In my 35 years of lawenforcement, it seems to meshe is the hardest workingJustice of the Peace I have everseen.

I’ve said this before, but itbears repeating. The relation-ship between the JunctionPolice Department and theKimble County Sheriff’sDepartment is as good as any Ihave ever seen. Sheriff Cantuis always quick to offer his

help and even supplies newcrime fighting and safety tech-nology to us. The help we getisn’t limited to just the sheriff’sdepartment. The chances arethat you will see a DPS troop-er or a state game warden onmany calls where an officerneeds help. This happens insmall communities across thestate, but works very effi-ciently here. The JunctionCheerleaders recognized us allas Hometown Heroes at the 9-11 pep rally, and the ceremonychoked me up a bit.

I went to Ground Zero on achurch mission trip about fivemonths after 9-11, and I spent12 hours giving respite servic-es to the police and firemenwho were still pulling bodiesout from the crater. It wasprobably the coldest night ofmy life on Valentine’s Night atSt. Paul’s Chapel as I workedthe church where the firemenand police officers went towarm up and grab a bite during

their 12-hour shifts workingthe recovery teams. The airwas so bad that the volunteerswere only allowed to work oneshift at Ground Zero, but manyof these public safety employ-ees were at this for months onend. Needless to say, I amalways very sentimental whenthe topic of 9-11 comes up, andthe cheerleaders were verynice to recognize us lastFriday.

The last emergency servicepersonnel I should mention arethe Kimble County Dispatch-ers. We all frequently can over-look their good efforts in theday-to-day work of thedeputies and police officers.They calm down the hystericalcrime victims and direct theofficers, paramedics and fire-men where to go. They run thecomputer terminals which sup-ply us with the informationrequired on the streets to findthe criminals and sort them outfrom the good people that wecome into contact with. Theyanswer the 911 phones and do

all of these jobs while acting asjailers for the prisoners in ourcrowded jail. Recognition thatpeace officers, fire personneland ambulance attendantsreceive should, truthfully,include our dispatchers.

The most crucial part of thecrime fighting team is alwaysthe public. You are the oneswho have to pick up a phoneand tell us when you see some-thing that isn’t right. Whetherit is a vehicle weaving downthe interstate, a stranger lurk-ing around the swimming poolor a vehicle backed up to ahouse where the owners areaway at work, we rely on youto alert us to where we areneeded.

You know your neighbor-hood better than we do, andyou know when somethingdoesn’t feel right. It does notinvolve being a snitch or noseyneighbor. It involves you beingpart of the crime fighting teamthat keeps Junction safe. Untilnext week, enjoy life in theLand of Living Waters.

What a strange “come topass”. People of the nationgathering and speaking outabout a policy or law or actionthey disagree with. Has any-thing like that ever happenedbefore? Well, yes. It happensconstantly and has since thebeginning.

Supporters of the King ofEngland formed protestgroups. (They lost.) Therewere major activist crowds inNew York protesting the draftduring the Civil War. Theremay have been such in theSouth at the time, but theywere not publicized. Kind oflike the major press in thenation today.

Well, do they have anythingto protest over? Of course theydo. If you don’t believe it, just

ask them! Do they have any“right” to do it? Ask anyonewho has a copy of theConstitution to read it to you.That answer is quite evident.Wonder if it isn’t time to havea major gathering of actualAmericans to protest the criti-cism of the protesters and formeducation facilities for anyonewho either has no understand-ing of the Constitution or whatit guarantees the citizen.

A rather large portion of thepeople of the nation eitherhave forgotten the contents ofour founding documents ornever bothered to either find itout or understand it.

But then! Do they believe somuch in another political sys-tem they are just showing theirown protest against our system?

Everyone is smiling. We’vehad close to six inches of rain,and almost all of it soaked intothe ground. Everything hasturned from dead to lush as ifby magic. Hunters are cominginto the county getting theirstands and feeders ready forhunting season.

We had fun putting up a deerstand last week; just hoping itdoesn’t sink with all the rainwe’ve had. If you ever wonderif you’d be wise to save moneyand build your own deer blindsand stands, take my advice andjust go buy one and let some-

one else worry about putting itwhere it needs to be. Andwhile I am giving advice, ifyou do build one, make thestand out of the lightest materi-al you can find, not superheavy plywood like we used.We built a pretty deer blind.Pretty dad gum heavy.

We managed to bolt it downto the super long legs, my sonwelded together and we man-aged to get the whole thingscooted somewhat up into atrailer, using brute strength anda winch attached to the front ofour little buggy. I love winches

and we put a lot of faith in ourlittle winch, thinking it wouldraise the deer stand up if we didit just right. It didn’t. It just dugits legs into the dirt and crepttowards us not willing to standup at all, and the blind was soheavy we couldn’t lift it byhand without killing ourselves.

So, we went to Plan B; askingfor help. We found DeltonStewart, and he got his tractorwith a front end loader and wetied a chain to the bucket and tothe stand praising the advan-tages of hydraulics, until werealized they are only as goodas the distance they can reach.The bucket didn’t reach up highenough to raise the stand...itwent about 3/4 of the way, thenstopped. It was aggravating tosay the least. Tenacity anddetermination go a long way. Ijust love it when people areconfronted with problems, andthey keep thinking up ideas ofhow to solve them until one ofthem works. That’s what wedid. We’d try one idea, thenanother and another.

Truthfully, we just sat andstood there, looking dumb andscratching our heads. My sonended up climbing way upinside the blind hanging like amonkey until he got to the topand could reposition the chain.Delton then managed to gentlypush the stand up until a boardholding the chain was all that

stood in the way of success.When the board broke, thestand fell into place like wehad planned it that way. Yeah,of course we did.

Jack Bierschwale stopped bythe other day on his way home.He is now living on the RobbyMcKinney place off of RanchRoad 1871 going towardsMason. He’s been workingwith Robbie doing pipelinework in West Texas.

I asked him to try to help mefind out exactly whereWalton’s Camp was located.It is beginning to look like itcould be on the Llano RiverRanch (Erck Ranch). FredericaWyatt has discovered severalsuper neat old historical mapsthat can be purchased online atthe Texas General Land Officewebsite of the White andLittlefield Ranch LondonProperty and the Saline Ranch.Both were owned by Irve Ellisat one time. Now Fred Erckowns a portion of that sameproperty. Go to: http://www.glo.state.tx.us/ and click on“Maps, Research and Data”.Then click on “HistoricalMaps”. Then click on“Searchable Map Catalog”.Type in “Kimble” for theCounty search and you willfind the White and Littlefield,London Property Map. Do anew search and type in“Menard” County to find theSaline Ranch Maps. It is amaz-ing to see just how much landthey owned around London.

I got a call from LucilleStewart Stromme of LosAngeles, today. She is thedaughter of Elton Stewart, mygrandfather Everett’s brother.She said she was sending mefour horse shoes that Everettsent with them when theymoved to California from theRed Creek Community in1938-39. She said they cameoff his favorite mare, and hewas sending them with themso they’d have good luck.Lucille and her sister Gloriaflew down for the PearlReunion a couple of years ago.They are precious people.Lucille’s husband, DeLoy, isgoing into surgery this week.We send our love and prayersthat all will go well.

Jury list for September 22

One in six American men is atlifetime risk of prostate cancer

What do Colin Powell andRobert DeNiro have in com-mon? Not only are they house-hold names, both men havebeen diagnosed and success-fully treated for prostate can-cer. This month in honor ofNational Prostate CancerAwareness Month, KimbleHospital offers a few tips ondetecting this disease.

“Prostate cancer will affectone out of six American men,but if detected in its earlystages, this disease can bequite treatable,” said SharleneCasper, head of LaboratoryServices at Kimble Hospital.“Regular screenings are key tofinding and treating prostatecancer early.”

According to the AmericanCancer Society, prostate can-cer is the most frequently diag-nosed cancer and the secondleading cause of cancer deathfor men. Health experts rec-ommend that all men who are50 and older or who have afamily history of prostate can-cer be screened on a regularbasis. The annual exam usual-ly includes a simple blood testfor PSA (Prostate SpecificAntigen) levels and a DRE, or

digital rectal exam.If the cancer is caught at its

earliest stages, most men willnot experience any symptoms.Some men, however, willexperience symptoms thatmight indicate the presence ofprostate cancer, including:

• A need to urinate frequent-ly, especially at night;

• Difficulty starting urinationor holding back urine;

• Weak or interrupted flowof urine;

• Painful or burning urination; • Difficulty in having an

erection; • Painful ejaculation; • Blood in urine or semen; or • Frequent pain or stiffness

in the lower back, hips, orupper thighs.

Because these symptomscan also indicate the presenceof other diseases or disorders,men who experience any ofthese symptoms should under-go further testing to find thecause of the symptoms.

In addition to annual screen-ings, regular exercise and ahealthy low-fat diet can reducethe risk for prostate cancer.

For more information or pre-vention strategies that makethe most sense for you, callKimble Hospital at (325) 446-3321.

Debbie Cooper KistlerThe Junction Eagle

Again this year, the Junction Eaglesvs. Medina Bobcats game, played lastFriday in Medina, was an unfortunatemismatch. The heavy mist and inter-mittent rain had little effect on theEagles’ ground game, but playedhavoc with Medina’s air attack. TheEagles made eleven touchdowns andnine extra points.

Junction’s rock solid offensiveline, Jordan Keeton, WilliamWhitworth, Mark Sienkiewich,Rafael Fuentes and ChristianStewart, provided plenty of runningroom for the Eagles ball carriers.Added help came from the Eagles’senior quarterback, Jason McKinner-ney, who typically makes the handoffand then delivers some punishingblocks in front of his runners. Thisgame was no exception.

Ty Stapp made four touchdowns,averaging 19 yards per carry.According to Stapp, “The line did agreat job for us.”

Eric Aguerro only touched thepigskin five times, averaging 30 yardseach, and made touchdowns on threeof those carries. David Fuentes mus-cled out 243 yards on 17 carries andmade two touchdowns.

Early in the third quarter, Eagles jun-ior receiver Rigo Rosas was cruisingdown field near the Bobcat goal line.When McKinnerney delivered, Rosashauled in the pigskin and took it in forJunction’s sixth TD. McKinnerney,Alec Menchaca, Brayden Schulze andVictor Parga also contributed to the theEagles offensive effort.

Late in the game, junior defensiveback Bo Samora was covering hisassignment, saw an opportunity,grabbed Bobcat quarterback JeremyKennedy’s pass and hooked it into

Medina paydirt.The icing for the Eagles came from

senior Luis Roman, who booted nineright-on-target extra points. TheEagles’ total score was 75 points.

Over the years, Eagles fans have rec-ognized and admired Junction teamsthat have displayed character and for-titude when playing withlimited resources andunder difficult circum-stances. The young ath-letes who played forMedina displayed thatsame kind of resolve. Inspite of facing an early34-point deficit, theBobcats kept scrambling,kept pushing, kept firing.Twice, their quick, deter-mined QB was able toevade the Eagles defenseand find receiver CoreyLeStourgeon for touch-downs. Kennedy also rana two-point conversion in,and, in the third quarter,when he couldn’t find anopen receiver, he barreledin from eleven yards out.

Junction’s defensiveunit limited the Bobcatsto about 200 yards.Defensive backs, seniorSakota Tomlinson andBrad Sandlin, a sopho-more, each made eighttackles. Sandlin alsointercepted a Bobcat pass.R. Fuentes was responsi-ble for six tackles and asack. Stapp made sixtackles, three sacks andblocked a point-afterkick. Trevor Brawley,Whitworth and Pargawere each credited withfour tackles.

This Friday, the Eagles face ClassAA Harper. The forecasters are pre-dicting a tie game, “too close to call”.The Longhorns’ game with Ozonaresulted in a 20 to 14 loss. They beatBrackettville 28 to 13, and last week,beat Ingram by 54 points.

Harper has two talented quarter-

President Charles Loefflerstated that this was the case.

Charlie and ShirleyGoodman addressed theBoard with their concernsover the construction of a newhospital. It was their feelingthat the decision had beenrushed through and that peo-ple had not been providedwith sufficient information tomake an informed choice.

From here the discussionsplintered into a variety ofsubjects from questions as towhy the clinic was not makingmoney, to the Board’s previ-ous inability to control anemployee, to the future reme-dy of this situation by the ulti-mate demise of said employ-ee, to the future of the healthcare system in general.

In closing, S. Goodmanasked the Board to be awarethat the increase of taxes inuncertain economic times maydo more to hurt the communi-ty than a new hospital mayhelp.

This concluded the publicmeeting, and the regular meet-ing was called to order.

The Board went on to dis-cuss architecture and engi-neering work now underway.Board member Debra Mudgecommented on the effort sheobserved put forth by ReesAssociates and the hospitalstaff during their meetings theprevious week. Board presi-dent Charles Loeffler notedthat Rees was examiningmoving the clinic to a distanceof 30 feet from the hospitalbuilding. This would elimi-nate the need for fire resistantconstruction between the twoand result an estimated costsavings of $400,000.TheBoard voted to accept a pro-posal from Raba Kistner forgeotechnical services for$13,800. They had alreadyaccepted a proposal fromJasper Quintinilla, LLP forsite surveying services for$14,800. The decision on aproposal for a Phase I environ-mental study was delayeduntil the cost of an asbestossurvey could be included.

Next, the Board consideredthe preliminary statements ofqualifications they hadreceived from general contrac-tors for the new hospital.Eighteen contractors had sub-mitted, and Project ManagerJudy Blazek asked the Board

to narrow the field to seven oreight. These contractorswould be asked to submitmore detailed information,and the field would again benarrowed before holding inter-views.

The Board began by settingissues of priority for their deci-sion process. Contractor withsmall hospital experience,direct involvement in projectsby their principals, havingexperience in rural communi-ties, and having prior experi-ence with the architect (ReesAssociates) were given higherratings. The Board voted tocontinue with the followingcontractors: UEB MedicalBuilders, JE Dunn Construc-tion, Flintco ConstructionSolutions, Lott BrothersConstruction, Rogers-O’BrienConstruction, Huser Construc-tion, and Cooper Medical.

The Board then voted tocontract with Deann Allen foraccounting services for theconstruction of the new hospi-tal. Project Manager Blazeksaid she would contact Allenand request a letter of engage-ment.

All business being conclud-ed, the meeting wasadjourned.

still some “tweaking” to bedone before two warm-upcontests, September 26 inBurnet and October 3 in San

Angelo. The band will com-pete in the UIL Regional con-test in Brady on October 17,then hopes to earn a spot inthe Area competition onOctober 24 in Waco and in theState contest to be held in theAlamodome in San Antonio

on November 2. If the applause from the

folks in Medina was an indica-tor, the Golden Eagle Bandwill have a successful season.

Hey, Ike, whenthe dam breaks, everybodydown stream just has to getout of the way. Medina justhappened to be the team thatwas sitting in the headlightswhen the Junction Eagles putit all together. It looked likewe had no mercy, but whenev-er a ball is put into any play-er’s hands, they are just gearedto go until somebody stopshim or he scores, and scorethey did, all night long. This isa sign that we have somedecent depth this year, and thatis great. Congratulations onthe win, Eagles!

This week we go on the roadagain to test ourselves againstanother good 2A team in theHarper Longhorns. This willbe a great game, and it wouldbe a wonderful chance forJunction Eagles fans to packthe house in Harper and pushthese hard working Eagles onfor another win. I believe ourdefense is tough enough tohandle the Longhorns offen-sively, and I believe our bruis-

ing running game is unstop-pable. This will be a fantasticgame! I am pumped! Go,Eagles! Go, TEAM!

I onlywish Medina could’ve offeredup a little bit of a fight, but itwas a heck of a showing bythe Eagle running game and

one I’m sure served a bit ofnotice to our upcoming oppo-nents. Get ready, Eagles,because next up are the HarperLonghorns. Remember them?They beat us in our house lastyear….I know, I know, I’malways talking about forget-ting about last year and mov-ing forward. Well, it’s hard todo when you’ve got a chanceto return the favor! So keepworking hard, Eagles, andlet’s go whip ‘em in Harper attheir stadium! Go Black!!

In last Friday’s game against the Medina Bobcats on a soggyfield, Stapp would make 24 points for the Eagles. Then, on defense, the junior was credit-ed with six tackles, three sacks and a blocked punt. In spite of the intermittent rain, theEagles scored 75 points in contest.

Lady Eagle sophomore Mary Whitworth (23) takes theserve as teammate, senior Sheyanne Smith (15), keeps aclose eye as the play develops.

Desirae Newbury (2) sends this deep serve toward the setteron the front line. Sharing duties on the back line areSheyanne Smith (15) and Morgan Wellmann (2).
