Eagles playoff hunt spoiled

Debbie KistlerThe Junction Eagle

With the Junction Eagles 47 to 14 loss to the Ozona Lions at Eagle Stadium last Friday, the Junction Boys have no chance to advance to the playoffs this season. They do, however, have one last chance to play together as a team and just have some fun.

Win or lose, the game against the Harper Longhorns offers the 2012 athletes free-dom from pressure and expec-tations. Just a bunch of bud-dies making memories that will last a lifetime. By the tenth class reunion, the sting of this seasons record will have faded, and the reminisc-ing will be about the cam-

eraderie, pranks on the bus trips, locker room humor.....and the tough runs, the impos-sible catches, the bad calls, the impressive tackles, the defen-sive linemans interception/score. Gone, the misery of August 2012s blistering heat, sore muscles, the fumbles, interceptions, frustrations, the disappointments. And thats a good thing.....regardless of the scores, this has been a good life lesson for young men about to embark on a life away from JHS and their families; a character-building, mettle-testing experience. The wise young men will learn something about themselves from it. Jumping high and stretching as far as possible for a pass from the Ozona Lions quarterback Jayton Rodriquez (11), junior Dontay Foy (23) watches as the ball easily falls into the hands of junior teammate Drew Martinez (10). Both Eagles were

major players in last Fridays game with Martinez taking over the quarterback position in the second half.See Eagles on Page 6

Always greeting their customers with a smile or laugh, the Johnstons are pausing on one of their busiest days of the year for a photo op. From left, owners Linda, Tom and Ford are annual hosts of the West Bear Creek Customer Appreciation Party that is held prior to opening day of deer season.

The month of November is chuck full of activities, and, perhaps, everyone can partici-pate in some of the interesting events.

With sadness, I bid farewell to a long-time friend, Ross McSwain of San Angelo, who passed from our midst Friday, November 2. The news was relayed to me by Janet Jones, who was at a San Angelo hos-pital with her hubby, Jimmy (who recently underwent car-diac surgery.) A later message arrived from Marilyn Wheless of Menard. I visited Ross in Menard at the October 6 meeting of Edwards Plateau Historical Association, and as Carol Burnett would say, Im so glad we had the time togeth-er. Services were Monday afternoon, November 5, in San Angelo.

Patsy Sanders Raney tel-ephoned to report her hus-band, Darwin Lane Butch Raney, passed away Saturday, November 3. Memorial ser-vices were Monday afternoon in Junction. Butchs parents were the late Ed and Jessie Raney, former Kimble County residents. Patsy told me she and Butch were parents of six sons (five of whom survive, as Montie is deceased), ten grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren.

As I compile Meanderings, I have just heard of the November 4 death of Howard M. Brown. His wife, the late Opal Pearl Brown, and I both descend from John A. and Charlotte Parker Pearl.

Funeral services for John Walter Kearney of San Angelo, father of local resident Rebecca Kott, were Tuesday, November 6, in San Angelo.

Ginger Boerm Andrews reported the October 21 death of Bonnie Berry Stewart in California. The latter was the widow of Gingers uncle, W. D. Stewart, a native son of the Ivy Community.

In a recent communiqu from Pete Rose, he related he cannot be in Junction on Thursday, November 15, as originally planned. He can be at Kimble Historical Museum in late afternoon, Tuesday, November 20, to sign copies of The Reckoning.

Sunday, November 11, will mark the 94th anniver-sary of the 1918 signing of the Armistice ending World War I. My mother often recalled the jubilation in Junction when the news reached Kimble County the war was over and the dough-boys were com-ing home. My brother, the late Fane L. Burt, remembered, as young lads in 1928, he and my oldest brother, Andrew Matt Burt, attended a parade and barbecue in downtown Junction marking the tenth anniversary of Armistice Day. For more than half a century, I have personally participated in observances of Armistice Day, now known as Veterans Day. The Junction school system and administrators are to be commended for spear-heading a November 11 pro-gram and meal for all veterans.

This year, the event will be Monday, November 12, at the high school gymnasium.

Molly Hayes of San Angelo, in quest of additional genea-logical information on her Martin and Whitehead ances-tors, was a visitor at Kimble Historical Museum during the week. Before returning home, she spent a bit of time at the Gentry Creek Cemetery where James H. and Mary Rowland Martin, and other members of the family, are buried.

Among those from out-of-state registering at Kimble Historical Museum were two persons from New Mexico, Ron Jones of Corrales, and Julia Jones from Rio Rancho.

Ray and Rachel Richard of Port Arthur, who have pur-chased land in Kimble County, are enjoying scavenging for relics on their property. They recently found a metal token from Billies Saloon in Junction City, and we have made copies of a picture of the early day watering hole.

We enjoyed an interest-ing telephone visit with Lee Pfluger of San Angelo. He and his family are gracious hosts each year to a Seven Hundred Springs outing sponsored by Kimble County Historical Commission and Museum.

It was a pleasant surprise to see one of my weekly com-muniqus published in the news bulletin from West Texas Historical Association.

Congratulations are extend-ed to Rana Kay Williamson on the publication of her memo-ries, The Little Town, an enter-taining compilation about our Junction. Number two in the series is now available. It con-tains twenty-six essays written by Rana and is entitled, The Land That Knows No Parting.

We appreciate the thought-fulness of Kathy Brady Fleming, who brought us a copy of the West Kerr Current containing an article about

last weeks dedication of the Confederate widows markers in Junction. The report was ably written by Irene Van Winkle of Kerr County.

Birthday wishes go to my daughter, Charlotte Wyatt Rohowetz, whose special day is November 9. Her dads birthday was November 11, and the duo had a joint celebra-tion each year until his death in 2001. In addition, we want to take time to send birthday greetings on November 11 to Billie Fisher Meckley, who spends untold hours volunteer-ing at Kimble Museum and with other historical projects.

When Robbie Jasper Vickery dropped by the muse-um one day last week, she reported she had visited her daughter, Rhonda, and other family members in Plano. Rhonda is recuperating from surgery for implantation of a pace-maker. Robbie, who is Regent of Chanes Chapter, DAR, had an opportunity to attend the State Fair and visit the building belonging to the Texas Society, Daughters of the American Revolution.

An interesting event of the past weekend was an 1860s memorial sponsored by the Bonnie Blue Camp, Sons of Confederate Veterans. The program at Pollys Chapel Cemetery in Bandera County paid tribute to Jose Polly Rodriquez, a Bandera leg-end. I wished it had been possible for me to attend the occasion as I recalled memo-ries of a day in time past when Kimble County Historical Commission hosted a tour to Bandera County. On that long-ago day, as our group rested in the Chapel, we were mesmerized by the late Ruth Simon Bode playing the hymn, Church in the Wildwood, on the aged piano.

Saturday afternoon, Margaret Gaver and I were the grateful recipients of a most delicious barbecued chicken given to us by the expert grill-er, Charles Hagood.

Junction Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, will hold a

slated meeting Thursday even-ing, November 8, at 7 p.m. in the Masonic Hall on Main Street.

Frontier Guard Camp, Sons of Confederate Veterans, and Mary Harlow Griffith Chapter, Order of Confederate Rose,

will meet in concurrent ses-sions Saturday morning, November 10, at 10 a.m. in the Trinity Episcopal Church Parish House.

I appreciate the kind words from readers of Meanderings!

John Walter Kearney, 75, passed from his earthly home on Friday, November 2, 2012, with his loving family sur-rounding him. John was born in Sweetwater, Texas, on July 15, 1937, to Dovie and Burice Kearney. He was an only child, and his parents loved him dearly.

He graduated from Sweet-water High School in 1955. In 1955 his 4-H Club won the State 4-H Judging Contest and went to Nationals. John placed 9th overall at National. He attended San Angelo Junior College 1955-1957; graduated from Sul Ross University, Alpine, in 1959 with a Bachelor of Science in Range Animal Husbandry. In 1961 he received his Master of Education from Sam Houston State Teachers College in Huntsville.

While in Huntsville, John met Sue Ann Gibbs and swept her off her feet. The two of them eloped on the way to his first agriculture teaching assignment in Marfa, Texas, on September 1, 1961. All three of their children were born in the area: Karen, John Jr. (Bub), and Rebecca (Becky). The family spent six-teen years in Marfa and loved every minute.

In 1977 the family moved to Sterling City where he taught agriculture for another sixteen years. In 1993 John retired from teaching, but, did not retire from working. He was at Howard College in Big Spring for eight years, he then moved to ASU as half time with Texas Education Agency monitoring new agriculture instructors and half time with the ASU Agriculture Department for two years. He worked as PR for Winners Edge, and then SureFed Feeds asked John to become their sheep specialist, and he did so with honor. John and Sue Ann worked many years with a FFA Fundraiser, RiverStar Farms. This helped John stay in touch with his many ag teaching friends. With their children married and away from home, John and Sue moved to San Angelo. They celebrated their 51st wedding anniversary this year.

In Johns many years as an agriculture teacher, he received many awards and had the opportunity to represent the agriculture industry in numer-ous ways. His students had Grand Lamb, Grand Reserve Lamb in every major show in Texas: El Paso, Sandhills, Fort Worth, San Antonio, Houston and San Angelo. In 1975 the Texas Sheep & Goat Raisers Association awarded John Outstanding Agriculture Instructor and then in 2005 they awarded him the Special Achievement award. John has had the privilege to judge

shows from California to North Carolina and from Iowa to Texas.

John did not have a hobby you might say his family, friends, stock shows, lambs and goats were his hob-bies. He was the official announcer for the Fort Worth Lamb Show, San Antonio Lamb Show, Houston Lamb & Goat Show and the San Angelo Lamb Show. He was instrumental in beginning the Agriculture Mechanics Show and the Fall Spectacular with the San Angelo Stock Show Association. He started the Howard College Lamb & Goat Clinics. He promoted the youth anyway he could. He also announced many AJRA and collegiate rodeos in his early years.

John is survived by his wife, Sue Ann; children, Karen Komechak and husband, Gil, Ozona; John Kearney, Jr. (Bub) and wife, Melissa, Burleson; and Rebecca Kott and hus-band, Russell, Junction; ten grandchildren: Kesh and hus-band, Steven, Sonora; Benny, Austin; Karley, Sonora; Lyndsey, Ozona; Cade and Zach, Burleson; Tamra and Caleb, Junction; Matthew and wife, Jayme, San Angelo; Russel, Iraan. Four beautiful great-granddaughters: Sage and Stevie, Sonora; Masiela, Sonora; Kasiebel, Ozona. He is also survived by many cous-ins and friends everywhere.

His service was held at 10:30 a.m.. Tuesday, November 6, at the San Angelo Spur Arena, with a visitation immediately following in the foyer of the Spur Arena. Burial was in the Palava Cemetery, north of Sweetwater at 4 p.m.

Pallbearers were his grand-children: Caleb Kott; Cade and Zach Kearney; Benny Fraser Matthew and Russel Komechak. Johnson Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangements.

The family would like to thank Hospice of San Angelo for their compassionate sup-port and understanding. Donations may be made to Hospice of San Angelo, 64 West Twohig, San Angelo, 76903 or Area II FFA Association, PO Box 60, Van Court, 76955.

Family and friends may sign the online guest book at www.johnsons-funeralhome.com.

During the next thirteen years they lived in Kermit, Texas, and Carlsbad, New Mexico, but moved back to Junction in 1959 when they purchased the M & N Drive Inn.

Another Slick Myth

Several weeks ago, this col-umn discussed the purpose of dimples in golf balls and the scientific reason a really dirty car gets better gas mileage. This fooled me too. NOW, I discovered a new one.

I have several boats, both pleasure and fishing, even including a canoe. For years, I have taken great pains, expense and time to wax and polish the undersides of the boats thinking it would cause the boat to go faster on the water. I read last week that, scientifically, I was wrong. Ill bet you thought the same thing as well. The fact is that when a boat passes across the water, the water has a ten-dency to cling to a slick sur-face, slowing movement, and the uneven surface of a dirty uneven boat bottom lets in air to help break adhesion with the water. Surprise!!! Me too!

Now that the elections are over with, and we dont have to watch political commer-cials and have to see the polit-ical signs across our lovely landscape, life can return to normal.

The holidays are coming up with hectic travel schedules, and our news for the next few weeks will show us the slow rebuilding along the New York and New Jersey coast-lines. Locally, we are back into hosting the deer hunters as they fill our hotels and eat-ing establishments. All in all, life is gratefully returning to normal here.

Our normal here is pretty good. When I first started writing these articles four years ago, I tended to scold and pressure everyone to lock their cars and homes and businesses as if we were in those more lawless areas where I used to work. Over the years here, Ive learned that with the exception of a night or two, most of us wont have our cars entered even if they are unlocked. But if we can make it a habit to lock up, then those strange nights when a burglar finds his/her

way off the Interstate and into our community, easy pick-ings wont be found.

We try to watch our motel parking lots at night because our guests sometimes leave valuables in unsecured pickup beds. At different times our local kids have helped them-selves to the beer and coolers out of those pickup beds, and those serious crimes lead to others as those same kids end up having car wrecks while driving drunk.

In many ways, some of you may view these as childhood pranks and consider them not so serious. But if our hunt-ers and guests are victims of crimes while they are visit-ing us, they could decide to spend their time and money elsewhere. If we have people injured or killed by drunks who stole their beer out of pickups, that prank has taken on a whole new level of crime.

I dont want there to be any misunderstanding about how we will handle these crimes. Our job is to handle crimi-nals in as straight forward and professional manner as possible. If we catch a bur-

glar, we will treat them as a burglar with all the resulting arrests, booking, fingerprints, mug shots, arraignments and bail requirements. It will not be treated as a prank.

Our job here is to protect the lives and property of our citizens and our guests here. Without our guests continu-ing to coming here to visit and support our local econo-my, we wouldnt have much of a community left.

I have harped a little about using your locks, and I guess that wont stop any time soon. Enjoy our special way of life here in the Land of Living Waters and help us to keep it a special place to live, visit and raise a family. Use your seat belts and your door locks. We dont want to lose you.

Kimble CountyCooks Nook

by Clara Margaret Schwiening St. Clair

Thank you Cooks Nook readers for your positive feedback for my arti-cles. With each passing week, I find myself more grateful to Debbie for the opportunity to write this column. It has become the avenue for me to get to know some people better and/or meet new folks and then share everyone with you. Kathy often reminds me that I only have a half page space, and it is necessary that I leave room for recipes. WHAT? I need to include recipes? Oh yeah, this is an article about recipes, isnt it?

Wowie, have I got a treat for you this week. Let me introduce you to Susan Booker, a gem I just met recently at a jewelry sale. It was there that many of the attendees suggested I share Susan in my column. That day Susan was serving her lemon bars, YUMMO!! And, that comes from a person who does not like lemon anything.

Susan and her husband, Ed, both lived in Sonora, California, their entire lives before moving to Kimble County. Ed was the third generation to live on his family ranch, and Susan told me that the decision to move to Texas was an even greater sacrifice for him. Since the couple did not move to our county until 2008, I need to back up and tell you about some of the events during those 40+ years. Susan and Ed married in 1967, and actually met by accident (and it was an accident..a car accident). Susan laughingly told me that she thinks that Ed asked her out following the wreck to deal with his guilt. When the couple married, Susan had finished her first year of col-lege, and Ed had just been discharged from the Navy. The couple has two children, a son on the west coast, and a daughter on the east coast. According to Susan, she and Ed lived in a large Italian community, and though they are not Italian themselves, they took on Italian ways when it comes to cooking. Susan absolutely loves everything about cooking, and she also views cook-ing as a social outlet. There is nothing she enjoys more than cooking a com-plete meal and seeing the enjoyment on the faces of the people she is serving. Susan did mention that she lives to eat, and Ed eats to live.

One question I always ask of folks, who are not homegrown in Kimble County, is, How did you come to be here and why have you stayed? Susans response to how was, God, and her answer to why was, the beautiful countryside, and the wonderful people. Heres their story: Friends of Susan and Ed had moved from Sonora, Calif., to TexasBoerne, Texas. The friends encouraged Susan and Ed to come to visit. It seems that when they decided to come, their friends were gone on a cruise, so Susan and Ed thought they would drive to Sonora, Texas, and see what it was like. Well, they stopped on Lovers Leap in Junction and never made it to Sonora. They fell in love with us! They found acreage on a Friday and closed the deal on Monday. Susan told me, I feel more at home in Kimble County than I did for almost an entire lifetime in Sonora, California. Welcome!!

Home Health

Officials say womens health program is ready...

Dr. Kyle Janek, chief of the state Health and Human Services agency, and Gov. Rick Perry on October 31 announced a new state-funded Texas Womens Health Program is ready to step in and deliver ser-vices to low-income women if Washington cuts off funding to the Medicaid program.

Weve got the state program ready to stand up at any time, and that transition would be seamless for patients and their

doctors, Janek said.Since 2007, the program has

been funded primarily with federal Medicaid dollars. The state plans to reject billions in Medicaid dollars in order to cut off funding to organizations affiliated with abortion provid-ers in accordance with a state law passed in 2011.

Perry said that any lawsuit filed to challenge the states version of the womens health program would kill the pro-gram, and would be responsi-ble for denying these impor-tant health services to the low-income women of Texas.

Meanwhile, a temporary injunction put in effect by an Austin state district court on October 26 prevents the state from following through on its affiliate ban rule until November 8, when oral argu-ments in a case brought by Planned Parenthood will be heard.

Planned Parenthood called

the injunction a small victory for the approximately 50,000 Texas women who rely on Planned Parenthood for care through the Womens Health Program, which includes life-saving breast and cervical can-cer screenings, birth control, and testing for sexually trans-mitted infections.

Windstorm concerns aired...

Hurricane Sandys recent ravage of the eastern seaboard reminds Texans of Hurricanes Rita, Katrina, Dolly, Ike, Alicia and others. Before and after mayhem hits, questions over who pays and who is respon-sible for what inevitably arise.

On November 1, the Joint Committee on Oversight Board of Windstorm Insurance met at the Capitol, hearing testimony from the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA), the Texas Public Finance Authority, the Texas Department of Insurance and

the State Auditors Office.A few of many topics

addressed were TWIAs reserve fund, high administration costs, bookkeeping issues, the danger storms pose to coastal counties, slowness and other problems with recovery efforts, and how some coastal property owners struggle to pay high premiums.

TWIA was established by legislative mandate to pro-vide wind and hail insurance for Texas Gulf Coast prop-erty owners in the event of catastrophic loss. We provide basic coverage unavailable in traditional markets for consum-ers who might otherwise be left uninsured, TWIAs literature states.

Drought proclamation con-tinues...

Gov. Perry, on November 2, renewed his July 5, 2011, proc-lamation certifying that excep-tional drought conditions pose a threat of imminent disaster in specified counties in Texas.

The renewed proclamation, good for 30 days, applies to 121 of the states 254 counties.

Disaster relief to counties with population under 200,000 and cities under 50,000 that have suffered from severe drought and wildfire may come in the form of federal aid through the Community Development Block Grant Program.

For example, on October 31, Texas Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples announced the award of $1.4 million in federal disaster relief grants to governmental bodies that applied and met the criteria: Bastrop County and the cities of Florence, Llano and Seymour.

Manufacturing panel forms...

House Speaker Joe Straus, on October 22, created the Interim Committee on Manufacturing, a panel of 15 state House mem-bers tasked with recommend-ing ways the Legislature can strengthen the manufacturing

sector in Texas.Straus said manufacturing

is a $192 billion industry in Texas, accounting for 15 per-cent of the gross state product, adding that more than 800,000 Texans work in manufacturing.

Straus appointed Rep. Jim Murphy, R-Houston, as chair of the committee and Rep. Eddie Rodriguez, D-Austin, as vice chair.

TEA calls for applicants...Texas Education Agency

last week posted notice that it is seeking qualified attorneys to act as independent hearing examiners in local school dis-trict employment hearings.

Examiners preside over hearings involving nonrenew-al or termination of educator employment contracts and issue recommendations for a school districts board of trustees to consider. Deadline for filing the application is 5 p.m. on December 3.

Top tips for a trouble-free closing

Youve found the perfect houseor buyerand youre on your way to closing, where ownership of the property is officially transferred and money changes hands. This final stage of a real estate trans-action has many steps. Your Texas REALTOR can help you navigate the closing pro-cess and answer questions that may arise, but heres some advice to help you prepare.

Understand the closing process

Before closing, buyers should review everything that

has been done in connection with inspections, title work and surveys to make sure that there are no loose ends. If the contract calls for the seller to make repairs, the buyer should confirm that the work has been completed to his satisfaction. Ensure that the lender knows the time and date of the closing and has copies of any contract addenda.

In addition, the buyer needs to complete several tasks before closing:

Obtain homeowners insurance. The policy should be in place and ready to go in effect days before closing.

Change the name on the utilities. The buyer should ver-ify that the seller has canceled his accounts and have service scheduled to be turned on.

Schedule a walk-through. Conduct the walk-through near the closing date, but leave a few extra days as a cushion if the contract calls for the seller to make repairs prior to closing.

Review closing documents ahead of time. There are pages of documents that buy-ers have to sign and you should understand what they all mean. There wont be enough time at the closing to read them, so get copies in advance.

Make sure that the money is available. Transfer funds, obtain a cashiers checkdo whatever must be done to have the funds on hand. The lend-er will provide a statement of the buyers actual costs a few

days before closing, so hell know just how much that check should be.

What if the closing is delayed? Even if the transac-tion doesnt close on time, it doesnt mean it wont close in a week or two. Sometimes the seller has a problem clearing a title, which can lead to a buy-ers concern about a locked-in interest rate. Buyers should know how long their rate is frozen for and have a plan in place with another lender if the closing gets delayed beyond that point.

In some cases, buyers may have trouble securing financ-ing. In this case, sellers can entertain contingent contracts from other buyers. These con-tingent contracts usually dont come into play. But when the original contract doesnt close on time, the seller may move

on to the next offer and sell the house before the first buyer can receive funding.

Final steps to closingPrior to closing, you want

to be certain that all the condi-tions of the contract, like seller repairs, have been met. Before signing your name to any clos-ing documents, check that eve-rything is correct, including the interest rate, fees charged and condition of the property.

Whether youre the buyer or the seller, making a list is a great way to cover your bases. Heres what it could include:

Buyers closing checklist A cashiers check or money

order for the amount specified on your final settlement costs statement

Your personal checkbook in the unlikely event other charges come up at closing

Proof of a homeowners

insurance policy Your lenders good faith

estimate Some form of identification

(i.e., driver license, passport, etc.)

Sellers closing checklist Keys, padlock combina-

tions and garage-door openers Codes to security system (if

applicable) Owners manuals for all

appliances Checkbook for closing

costs or other expenses paid by seller (as agreed to as part of the buyers final offer)

Although few closings encounter major setbacks, it can happen. To ensure your transaction closes quickly, make sure youre prepared.

Hey, Mike, last Friday night had shades of the Dallas Cowboys going on. Yes, even the pros have bad games. You could see between the turn-overs that we could go toe-to- toe with those Lions, but the bad breaks cost us everything. Oh well, football happens.

Thank you, seniors, for all your hard work. I know your parents are proudthat goes for all the seniors, football, volleyball, band, or whatever, thanks!

The whole place was excited to hear our fantastic Golden Eagle band; I even saw the Lions fans getting into it. Thanks for the bright spot of the night. (I did notice the Ozona band only played for their stands. We must have intimidated them).

Mason showed no mercy on the Brackett Tigers---47-6. Ozona and Brackett will duke it out this week for sole domi-nation of second and third place in District 14 1-A. (I am rooting for Brackett just for some payback on our JV loss to Ozona---cheaters). Go Brackett!

The Pirates sank the Harper Longhorns in a slugfest-22-21. We need to bring our A game this week to keep from being in a three way dead lock with

the bottom of the district; with the potential of three of us only winning one district game each.

Okay, Mike, our Eagles have a tough task ahead of them this week. They have one thing left to play for, and that is team pride. I know our Eagles are the better team; we just have to be careful not to hang up the cleats before this game is done. We kind of have a rivalry with Harper----they got really used to Randle-izing us over the years. Well, now they are Randle-less and they have nothing to hide behind; just them and us. This should be a great game for our seniors to finish out with vic-tory and fun. The only pres-sure is the bottom of the bar-rel. We should finish on top of these guys.

Come on Black---let em have it! Beat those Longhorns!!!!!!

Junction 42 at Harper 14Brackett 32 at Ozona 28Center Point 0 at Mason 45

Hey, Ike, PITA, and all you mighty Eagle fans!!!

Im just sick--sick of being sick--sick of being tired--just sick that Ozona was able to come to our house and get away with a 47-14 victory

over our Junction Eagles. Not to take anything away from Ozona, but we just seemed to find a way to shoot ourselves in the foot at just the wrong time-again and again--Im just sick!!

Penalties and turnovers sealed the fate for the Eagles. Some of it caused by the Ozona defense and some just caused by that problem between our ears--if you dont understand, ask Mrs. Boone--After holding Ozona scoreless the first quar-ter, the bottom fell out. Ozona scored fourteen quick points, then Junction answered with a touchdown pass to Dontay Foy. Ozona quieted the home fans by answering with two more touchdowns making the half-time score 28 -7. Im still sick!!

The third quarter got even worse for the Eagles, as Ozona scored nineteen more points--Junction got a touchdown in the fourth quarter by Vince Atchison, who ended with over 100 yards rushing, mak-ing the final score 47 - 14. Did I mention Im just sick?

This week we travel to Harper. Lets all go over and support our guys--its the last game for our seniors.

They played their hearts out--just not meant to be, I guess--Junction lights em up Friday, winning 42 - 7!!

See ya in Harper Go Eagles!!Mike

Amidst a hoard of Lions and parallel to the ground, senior Eagle Derek Cantu (14) is flying right into the Ozona ball carrier for a mighty take down.

In spite of Ozona senior Blake Morrows strong attempts at pushing him off, Dontay Foy (23) perseveres in bringing him down. Foy played his best game of the season.

Facing numerous Lions but still pushing foward, tenacious senior Vince Atchison (6) carries his Lion would-be-tackler for some much needed yardage. Atchison ended with over 100 yards of rushing. In spite of determination like this, the Eagles were left behind the Lions 47-14.

Good luck Lady Eagles & Eagles!

With superman leaps into the air, juniors Cole Mason (75) and Justus Young (20) attempt to block a field goal attempt by the Lions. However, the ball sailed through the uprights adding three more points for Ozona.

After knocking the ball out of the ball carriers hands, junior Dontay Foy (23) hangs on for a piggy back ride, preventing an Ozona recovery. With no Lion in sight, senior Reese Sawyer (15) spies the fumbled ball and heads to pick it up, but speedy Walker Weaver (4) beats him there to fall on it and make it Junctions ball.

Taking over quarterbacking duties from injured Reese Sawyer (15) Drew Martinez (10) takes the snap and backs up to pass. Ozonas sophomore Daniel Lombrana (66) sneaks around the Eagle line and grabs him. Or does he? Actually, Martinez breaks the tackle and races for some good yardage for the Eagles.

Junior Drew Martinez (10) hits the Ozona senior running back, Alex Borrego, hard enough to double him over his back. This tackle was included in Martinez 4.5 tackles in the game.
