State DPS troopers and Silsbee volunteer fire personnel investigate a crash on FM 418 on Tuesday that claimed the life of a 19year-old Silsbee woman. One man was also injured in the accident that shut down the road for nearly three hours.
Silsbee city council disapproves of audit being asked by the Silsbee EDC.

Teen killed in fatal crash on FM 418
By Daniel Elizondo editor@silsbeebee.com Silsbee city council persons questioned the reasoning for an internal audit that the Silsbee Economic DeWe’re not velopment Corporation board agreed upon, but the doing this to discussion turned to disapgo aer proval in a 3-2 vote. The EDC board preanyone. sented to council a letter of approval by its board in a Chris Smith Silsbee EDC Board unanimous vote, to have an internal audit, outside of its normal annual audit. Because the cost of the audit exceeded $10,000, the EDC board needed to seek approval from city council to move forward. "We're not doing this to go after anyone," EDC

By Daniel Elizondo editor@silbeebee.com A fatal crash on FM 418 in Silsbee claimed the life of a 19-year-old Silsbee girl on Tuesday. According to DPS reports, a 2014 Mack truck tractor was traveling westbound on FM 418 when it struck a 2007 Saturn vehicle attempting to make a left turn into a store parking lot near FM 1122 at 2:30 p.m. The passenger of the Saturn, Jobaha
Sanchez, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash. The truck struck the passenger side door of the Saturn that was originally traveling eastbound on FM 418. The driver of the Saturn, 20-year-old Chase Spencer of Silsbee, was transported to St. Elizabeth Hospital in Beaumont by Acadian Ambulance in serious but stable condition. The driver of the truck, Frank Morgan of
Livingston, 60, was not injured and refused medical treatment at the scene. The impact of the collision caused the truck to roll on its side, with both vehicles ending up off of the roadway. FM 418 was closed for almost three hours during the investigation of the crash. DPS troopers were assisted by Hardin County Sheriff’s Department deputies during the investigation. Silsbee volunteer fire personnel also assisted in the rescue effort.

Foundation threatens H-J
School districts elementary program causes stir.
By Daniel Elizondo editor@silsbeebee.com The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) has threatened the Hardin-Jefferson school district after a parent complained of religious activity being held at its campuses. Hardin-Jefferson Supertinendent Dr. Shannon Holmes was contacted by the foundation via letter that was sent on Sept. 19 by Freedom From Religion staff attorney Sam Grover. “A concerned parent of a student at China Elementary contacted us,” Grover said. Grover would not release the name of the parent. The parent contacted FFRF with constitutional concerns about a religious club known as Hawks For Christ, which is on several campuses in the district. According to information provided to FFRF through the parent, Hawks For Christ at China Elementary School, was being promoted on its Facebook page and teachers are said to be in-

The Coe sisters (from left) Janice Coe Palermo, Elaine Coe Orlando, Mary Coe Johnson, and Susan Coe Jennings, are all breast cancer survivors due to awareness.
By Meagan Moore reporter@silsbeebee.com For a family from Kountze, breast cancer has been a major concern for years. Three out of four of the Coe sisters have had to remove a breast during the past two decade – giving the notion that apparently, cancer does run in the family. The first to undergo surgery was Susan Coe Jennings, the youngest out of five siblings. Eighteen years ago, at the age of 39, Jennings woke one morning feeling as if she had been punched it the chest.

"I felt as if I had a bruise around my left breast." she stated. Curious as to where the pain was coming from, Jennings pressed and poked around until she came across a lump. It was then that she went in for her first mammogram. The test showed that she had a mass right against her breast wall, almost like a tumor, and black spots were all throughout her left breast. Because of the size, Jennings didn't need chemo treatment, but she ended up having a Modified Radical Mastectomy rather than a lumpectomy within See AWARENESS on PG. 5, SEC. 1

Almighty God, sometimes I move forward, making plans without discerning your will. When you thwart my plans, remind me that it is because you know what is best for me. Teach me to trust in you and in your will for my life. Remind me to turn to you and seek guidance from you.

During my short time living in Southeast Texas and Silsbee, it has been a privilege to meet such wonderful people. I never would have thought that this small town of Silsbee could have the heart that it does. When I first moved in 2011, I had no doubt in my mind that I could acclamate to a new community. Having been raised and living in a small town myself in South Texas, I knew the adjustment would be fairly simple. I know all the ins and outs of a small town. Everyone knows everyone, and if you choose to do something bad, chances are, everyone will find out about it. The first few weeks of living and working in Silsbee still made me nervous. To me, it was a new beginning, and a chance to prove to myself that I could become a part of it, as well as gaining the trust of the loyal citizens of this great community. I still remember my first days interviewing for the position as editor of the Silsbee Bee, having been invited by our Publisher Danny Reneau, to my first Silsbee football game in Lumberton. I’ve been to some big stadiums in my lifetime, having been a sports editor for many years in the San Antonio area, but seeing the stadiums here in Southeast Texas simply blew me away.
Around The Writer’s Block
By Daniel Elizondo
I asked Danny what the seating capacity of Silsbee and Lumberton stadiums were, and he proudly answered right around 10,000. That first game I saw in Lumberton was phenomenal to me. A regular season game, and filled to capacity. I will never forget that moment sitting in the stands surrounded by all the Silsbee faithful football fans. Even in the beginning, as I sat there watching the game, I remember several people reaching out to me, and telling me they were happy that I was going to be a part of the community. Exactly three years later, I still have people in Silsbee approaching me to say thanks, and expressing how happy they are for me to be here. Making a 5-hour move from your previous home isn’t easy for anyone. But when it is Silsbee, Texas, that transition is smooth, because of all the fine folks that welcome you with open arms. I just completed my 3-year anniversary at the Silsbee Bee and I couldn’t be happier. But I do have to add that the transition was made easier, having the Reneau’s trust me and my work ethic. I have to be honest and

wondered many times if the newspaper business was actually for me, even up to the days of moving to Silsbee. My wife mentioned to me the other day about a thought she had, as she prepared for an early day of work on a Wednesday morning. I had gotten home around 1:30 a.m. that morning, and lay asleep. She told me she looked at me for a few seconds and thought how much the newspaper is in my blood, and how dedicated I am, working the hours that I do. I never think of those things, and just do the job the best that I can, to the best of my ability. But a big part of the easy transition lies in having fabulous co-workers Debbie Gordon and Sarah Gordon. They not only know this business inside and out, they have become my second family – because in this business, we spend about as much time with each other than our true, blood families. My family has also transitioned well, thanks to a good school district, and great friends that my step-daughter has garnered in her short time here. I honestly can’t complain about our move to Silsbee. It’s been a short three years, but it seems like I have done so much to become a part of the community. See ELIZONDO on PG. 3, SEC. 1

Young, aspiring artists find the right teacher to excel.
By Meagan Moore reporter@silsbeebee.com Art, one of the many ways that adults and children alike can express themselves, is slowly being taken away from schools. Art classes in Silsbee don't start until high school. Ashlie Renee, Silsbee High School 2007 graduate, received enough scholarships in art to go to school for six years, but because of the dwindling interest in art in schools, spending that money for a teaching degree in art would be useless. Instead, Renee has been teaching classes at Michael's Arts and Craft store in Beaumont as well as private classes. Two of her dedicated students, Parker Brooks and Panda Freeman, have recently been invited for their artwork to be auctioned during Yappy Hour, the prequel event to Dogtober hosted by Beaumont Main Street, Thursday from 6:30-9:00 p.m. at the Edison Plaza building in downtown Beaumont. The event is invite only. Brooks and Freeman are the only two from Silsbee that were invited, and they are also the youngest to attend. Brooks recently had some of his art work shown at the Ice House Museum, and word got back to the people hosting the events in downtown Beaumont. At first the age limit was 10-

19, but when they realized that Brooks was only eight, they lowered the requirement. Both of Renee's students were given the logo of the Dogtober event and told to recreate it using their own inspirations. Freeman's mother had noticed her drawing a lot in notebooks and decided to put Freeman and her three other siblings in Renee's class. Freeman, inspired by Renee's work, switched to sculpting less than a month ago. She has only been a student of Renee's for about eight
Letter To The Editor
months. For her dog, she sanded the edges down, gave it four legs, ears, a rounded tail, and eyes. She also painted the dog, giving it tiger stripes. Her work was noticed by the judges and chosen for the auction. She is only a year older than Brooks, and the second youngest invited. Brooks has been an art student with Renee for three years. He and his "paw paw" found out about Renee's lessons, and they signed him up for it. Brooks is a talented painter
who painted the wooden dog he was given with spots on one side, hidden bones and paw prints among the spots, and a scene on the other. The scene includes a field with a dog and barn under the sun. Both Brooks and Freeman are very talented for their age. "I teach at an accelerated rate. I don't focus on their age, so much as what they are strong and weak at. I work on their weak points until the become strong points." Renee stated. Brooks and Freeman have only been in one competition each. Competing with kids their own age is not competitive enough, and at many of the adult shows, some of the art isn't quite appropriate for children their age. The event the children were invited to is to raise money to revitalize the downtown area in Beaumont. The goal of Beaumont Main Street is to help re-open or fix up all of the “mom and pop” stores and bring them back to their former glory. Several of the places that they have helped include Jefferson Theatre, the skate park, the Limitless Kids Park, and Hotel Beaumont. Brooks and Freeman are only following in their teacher's footsteps. Renee has raised awareness using her art work for many different organizations. Renee will be there Thursday face painting.
Funding the Fight Against Cancer
I traveled to Washington, D.C., last week to represent the voice of cancer survivors and patients in Congressional District 36. I met with Rep. Steve Stockman to emphasize that there is perhaps no better way for Congress to demonstrate its support for the fight against cancer than by funding that fight. By increasing federal funding for cancer research at
the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and prevention programs at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), we can stop cancer before it starts and get one step closer to a cancerfree world. Federal investments in cancer research and prevention have led to dramatic improvements in how we prevent, detect and treat cancer. Unfortunately, without ade-

A fired caused extensive damage to a mobile home on Brownlea Road in Silsbee. Silsbee volunteer fire department responded to the call on Thursday, Sept. 25 at about 1 p.m.
Fire destroys mobile home on Brownlea Rd.
By Meagan Moore reporter@silsbeebee.com It was a tragic day for Mike and Karen Bateman of Silsbee on Thursday, Sept. 25. At about 1 p.m., fire consumed their mobile home located at 2749 Brownlea Road. "If only I had gotten here five minutes sooner." stated Malone Gilchriest, friend of the Bateman's. Gilchriest had pulled up just in time to see Karen rush out of the house as smoke leaked out. Gilchriest then ran in and pulled Mike out, who is wheelchair bound. No one was hurt in the incident, but there was not much left for the Batemans to claim.
The fire had eaten away until all that was left standing was the outside structure and the back bedroom. Although this may seem like good news, everything that was not burnt had smoke and water damage. The fire was started from a burner being left on, according to Bateman. "By the time I realized what was going on, it was too late," Bateman said. "There was smoke everywhere." Mike is unsure where the couple will live at, but he was more focused on recovering anything he could from what remained of his home.
Silsbee Garden Club elects new officers The Silsbee Garden Club met on Sept. 23 at St. John's Episcopal Church for the monthly meeting with 21 members present and one guest, Barbie Martinez. The club also welcomed back Debbie Whigham. Hostesses were all club members who provided a pot luck lunch with everyone bringing a favorite dish. President, Patsy Gerngross called the meeting to order and led the opening prayer. She introduced the new officers: Patsy Gerngross, president; Kay Bennett, first vice president; June Standlee, second vice president; Margaret Fox, secretary; Emily Holt, treasurer; and June Standlee, parliamentarian. After roll call, Gerngross asked everyone to describe themselves using only one word, which started with the first letter of their name. Cynthia Roberts will take down the school decoration after Homecoming and then the club will do fall decorating on the CVS corner. Edna Dominguez reported on the Downtown Revitalization meeting, which several garden club members attended. She also announced we would have a clean-up day on Tuesday, October 7 to decorate the downtown boxes. June Standlee presented the

For starters, allocate your investments among a variety of assets — stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit, government securities and so on. This can help you avoid the full force of downturns that may primarily affect just one type of investment. Also, choose investments that have performed well across many market cycles. Past performance can’t guarantee future success, as you’ve heard, but you’ll help yourself greatly by choosing quality investments. For example, look for stocks with real earnings and a history of earnings growth, and only consider fixed-income vehicles that are considered “investment grade.” Finally, don’t make emotional decisions, such as selling quality investments because their price is temporarily down. Market volatility can feel particularly unsettling during your retirement years. But staying calm can help you navigate the sometimes-choppy waters of the financial world.

Village Creek Rehab Ribbon Cutting

The Lumberton Chamber of Commerce recently held a ribbon cutting for the open house of the Village Creek Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Lumberton. The open house featured a tour of the newly remodeled facility.
Village Creek remodels its facility The Open House at Village Creek Rehabilitation and Nursing Center showed off the newly renovated and refurbished facility. New renovations included newly painted walls, replacing the floors, new decor throughout the center, new lighting,
new crown molding, and new furniture. According to Melissa Armstrong, the residents are loving the new updates. They have also updated the medicare suites with new flat screen TVs and new decorations. "The updates were over-

two and a half weeks of after finding the lump. The doctors not only removed her left breast, but took all of the tissue from her collar bone to bottom of ribs, from breast bone to all the lymph nodes under her left arm, and even scraped tissue from her shoulder blade as well. Her form of cancer was estrogen based, so it was easier to deal with, but it was also a fast spreading cancer. She had caught it just in time. Jennings chose not to have reconstructive surgery because she "didn't want to hide anything in case something else came up." Approximately three years later, Janice Coe Palermo, third in the line but second oldest sister, also had a mastectomy for her left breast. Unlike her sister, Palermo had a mammogram every year. About eight years prior to the surgery, the doctors found a spot in her left breast and told her they were going to keep an eye on it in case it turned into cancer. In 1999, there was a sudden change in the density of the spot. She found out that she had cancer in her milk ducts. For Palermo, there were two options, a lumpectomy along with treatment or a mastectomy. "I wasn't really sure what to do, so I asked the doctor if I was his wife, what would he recommend." She stated. The doctor told her that he would recommend having a mastectomy. Having a mastectomy instead of a lumpectomy gives a better chance of not going into remission and the cancer coming back. It
also means that the patient would not have to undergo chemo or radiation treatment. Palermo chose the mastectomy, but she also decided to get reconstructive surgery. On the day of her surgery, both the surgeons for the mastectomy and the reconstructive surgery were present. As soon as Palermo had her left breast and a few of her lymph nodes removed, the plastic surgeon came into the room and inserted a tissue expander under her muscle where her left breast once was. The tissue expander had a tube with a bulb at the end connected to it. The bulb was placed right under Palermo's skin, and once a week, she went to the plastic surgeon and had liquid inserted into the bulb, expanding the muscle in the process, until there was enough room for the implant. "It's not a breast, just skin with an implant under the muscle." Palermo said. Six years later in 2005, Elaine Coe Orlando, the oldest of them all, received news of micro-calcifications appearing up in her yearly mammogram. It was not a lump that could be felt but only show up in an x-ray. Orlando received a biopsy to find out if it was cancerous or not. Later, via phone call, she learned it was indeed cancer. The doctor tried to convince Orlando to just get a lumpectomy because he thought that they had taken out the cancerous part during the biopsy. All he would have to do was remove some of the tissue from the area just to make sure it hadn't spread.
due." stated Armstrong. "It had been awhile. The floors needed to be replaced." Armstrong and staff are pleased they could give the residents something new and fresh in their home.
After her sister's issues with breast cancer, Orlando was determined to have a mastectomy just to be on the safe side. She had the surgery done, and unlike her sisters, no lymph nodes were removed. They had a specialist come in after the surgery to look at the tissue removed, and surprisingly they found out that there was indeed more cancerous cells throughout the tissue. After seeing Palermo's new breast, Orlando had decided not to have reconstructive surgery. Although the second youngest, Mary Coe Johnson, has yet to have trouble with breast cancer, the sisters were not the only ones in the family who dealt with the issue.

Their mother, Amelia Coe, had both of her breasts removed during her later years as well. They did not have the equipment that they have now when she was alive, so when the doctors found cysts in both of her breasts, they had them removed without knowing if it was cancerous or not. Also, according to Orlando's medical records, the Coe sister's father, Thomas B. Coe Jr. had a sister, Mary Coe, who also had surgery removing possibly cancerous tissue from her breasts. The moral of this family's story is that those who have relatives who have had breast cancer should get yearly check-ups because cancer can be genetic.

According to the foundation, the event points of contact are H-J Athletic Director Dwayne Dubois and Shelly Ardoin, both of which are district employees. The parent informed FFRF that a flyer for the event was sent home with students, including China Elementary students.

also deemed it unconstitutional, according to the foundation. The foundation also reprimands the district, stating that teacher-run religious clubs in high schools are illegal and that public school teachers may not endorse religion or wear religious T-shirts at school. According to the FCA website, ministries can be held on campuses or neutral sites for students in junior high, high school or college. The Fields of Faith website describes its program as a student-led event, and encourages students to challenge their peers to read the Bible and follow Jesus Christ. An athletic field provides a neutral rally point where a community can come together, the website states. Calls to Hardin-Jefferson ISD Superintendent Holmes were not returned.

Diagnostic Group Ribbon Cutting

that’s your way of giving something back to the public. You are in it to help people.” Darks has a long history in the police force dating back to July 1976, where he became a reserve deputy constable in Cherokee County. His career as a peace officer blossomed to becoming a police officer for the City of Huntington before becoming a deputy with the Newton County Sheriff’s Department. After that stint, he came back to Hardin County, working with the Silsbee Police Department before taking a position with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission. After that short stint, he returned to Silsbee, serving as a police officer from August 1982 until January 2001. From 2001 to 2005, Darks served with the Hardin County Sheriff’s Department as a reserve deputy. Darks recalls his days working with Deputy Chief Kenny Davenport while at the Hardin County Sheriff’s Departtment. “We worked in Silsbee quite a bit,” Darks said. “He and I became close during the academy. We’ve been close ever since. I met the sheriff through Kenny, and from there up until now, we still have a close relationship with the sheriff.” Darks began his career in Kountze in 2005, serving as sergeant and second in command under former police chief Terry Grave. Grave served as chief for a short time after Darks was hired, and the position was filled by Andrew Trahan. Darks worked under Trahan until February 2010, when he decided to retire. But the force kept his commission active under the Kountze Police Department as a reserve officer. Trahan eventually resigned but later returned to Kountze on Nov. 1, 2011, when he asked Darks to return to full duty. Darks returned on Nov. 11, 2011, working part time only as a captain and part time investigator.

Trahan once again resigned, and Darks took over as police chief of Kountze on Dec. 1, 2012. During his tenure with Kountze, Darks served as sergeant, lieutenant, captain and assistant police chief. Recently, the City of Kountze presented a proposal to cut officers in its force in an effort to reduce spending. However, Darks submitted his own proposal to allow him to retire, and retain the force of five, along with allowing a pay raise. The city accepted the offer. “We want to get the rate and pay established, so that when you get a good man, you can keep him here,” Darks said. “We can do that in this department. This is a great place to work.” Darks is the first AfricanAmerican in Hardin County to have held the position as a ehief in a police department. “When you first move to a community, you hear some bad things,” Darks continued. “But coming in and getting to know the citizens, I found that there are some of the finest people in the world in Kountze.” Darks says he will miss everything about being a policeman, but he is ready to spend time with his wife without the worries of receiving a phone call to go to work. And the toughest part he’ll miss is lending that helping hand for someone that is in trouble. “When you see a guy or young person traveling in the wrong direction – trying to mess up their life – when they walk through this door, and they ask for a change, and make a 180 degree turnaround, then that is your reward,” he added. “There comes a time when you have to put people in jail, but when the person makes a change, that is the greatest reward – and knowing that you had something to do with that.”

Homecoming Queen
Photo by Daniel Elizondo/Silsbee Bee
Silsbee senior Leslie Orona is crowned the 2014 Homecoming queen by the 2013 queen Alexis Porzadek on Friday night at Tiger Stadium in Silsbee. Orona was voted by students at Silsbee High School. Orona was escorted by her father Joel Orona during the ceremony.
board member Chris Smith told council. "We just want to get it straight – it's messy. The first couple of years are okay. The last several years are where we just want to take a closer look." The firm the EDC board agreed upon was seeking a cost of $12,500 to audit the past five years of the EDC. "If we are trying to go back, we paid auditors to do books in the past," Councilperson Thomas Tyler said. "I'd like to hear more in executive session." Because there was no executive session discussion posted on the agenda, council was unable to discuss the issue further. According to Smith, the audit was approved by the EDC in order to find discrepancies in the last few years. The EDC board recently fired former EDC Director Kim Garrett, and the board is currently restructuring the position in preparation of making a new hire. "We don't feel comfortable with the audit that was conducted." Smith told council. "We found a few items to jus-
Wednesday, October 1, 2014
tify an audit – it was unanimous by our board." Councilperson Tyler said that he was understanding what the EDC board's intentions are, but he was confused on why the auditor was going back five years. "We have been doing it (audit) every year," Tyler said. "We have paid someone to do it every year. We are talking about going back 5 years, when we have done it once already." Councilpersons Adalaide Balaban and Jim Willis voted for the audit, however Tyler, Chris Barnes and James Collins all voted against, shutting down the item. After the vote, Tyler and Barnes asked to discuss the item in executive session at the next meeting. Attorney Harry Wright advised the council that the item had been disapproved, and it can't be discussed further. "An audit is not a bad thing," Councilperson Willis said. "It's a positive thing. Just so no one will question what we have done. I perceive it as a good thing."
From Section 1, Page 1
Collins told council the reasoning for his vote against the item was the cost of the audit at $12,500. City Manager Tommy Bartosh questioned Smith about the funds the EDC had to pay for the audit. According to Smith, an amended budget was passed to pull money out of the capital expenses for the audit. "If they say it is worth it, then I am all for it," Councilperson Balaban said. "They are only here presenting this for us to approve the money." Smith informed council that the discrepancies found were after the last audit. "I'm not worried about the past," Willis said. "I'm worried about someone coming in and starting this position under this mess. Between EDC and council, I think it's money well spent. If not, I say we disband EDC, because of dissension and different opinion."

Back In The Chain Gang
Notorious group continues long history as the sideline crew at Silsbee football games
By Daniel Elizondo editor@silsbeebee.com It seems like it is an easy task, holding yard markers and down markers at football games. If you aren’t familiar with the terms, take a look at the sidelines at any football game and you will see a group of people holding up those large, orange signs, including one that either shows a one, two, three or four. In technical terms, the group is known as the sideline crew, or in more laments terms on the high school level, “the chain gang.” It is typical to have the same group of people year after year, but for the crew in Silsbee, four have been at it for a combined 97 years of service at local high school games. It isn’t an easy job, and the four at Silsbee that include, Dr. Jimmy Norwood, Bill Wright, Jerry Hawthorne and Jay Hinkie, go back to the old Kirby Memorial Stadium. Today, they continue to run the sidelines, keeping tabs on the line of scrimmage as well as keep the 10-yard window available for the referees and players to see. “We have the best seat in the house,” Norwood said. “I wouldn’t have it any other way.” So does it really take four people to run the “chain
“I look forward to Friday nights,” he continued. Wright was asked to follow in the footsteps of Dan Theriot. The four rotate each Friday night, responsible for each of the posts. They might do their own coin toss of sorts to find out who is doing what. To respect the home team, sideline crews at any particular town are set up on the visitors side. Silsbee’s home crew will tell you they hear and see lots of stuff. “We just keep our mouth

marker, that shows what down it is within the 10 yards. This marker is also used to coincide where the ball is placed as it moves up and down the field, simulating the line of scrimmage. And the fourth person is responsible for plac-

Little Cypress-Mauriceville edges Silsbee in homecoming loss.
The Silsbee Tigers continue to struggle with maintaining possession of the football, and it once again deterred the struggling offense to put up a win over the Little CypressMauriceville Bears on Friday night in the District 10-4AD1 opener. Silsbee had chances to put itself in position to win the game, but two key turnovers

This group known as the Silsbee Chain Gang have manned the sidelines at Silsbee football games for many years. The group includes: Jerry Hawthorne, Dr. Jimmy Norwood, Bill Wright and Jay Hinkie.

shut,” Wright said. But jokingly, they will cut up, because that’s just how most chain gang’s work. “I have certain signs for Coach McGallion that he knows about,” Hawthorne said jokingly. The crew will remind you of their joking demeanor, but when the whistle blows for the game to begin, it is all serious from there. “It is an intense feeling to be where we are,” Norwood said. “What more could you ask for on a Friday night in Texas?”
and a botched fourth down all but set the Tigers back once again. After the homecoming loss, Silsbee (0-1, 1-4) now heads into the thick of the district race, traveling to HuffmanHargrave on Friday. The Falcons (4-0) are coming off of a bye week. Silsbee staved escaped without harm in its first turnover of the game, after a bad snap from center Jacob
Rachal went over the top of sophomore quarterback Chase Partain that resulted in a fumble on the third play of the game. Partain had just completed a 72-yard catch and run pass to Ryan Kirkendall at the LCM 17-yard line for a first down. Silsbee’s defense held the Bears and forced a punt, giving life back to the Tigers. But the Tigers couldn’t get rid of the turnover cloud, this time with Partain tossing an interception on the second play from scrimmage on the ensuing drive. The turnover proved costly, with LCM taking possession near midfield. Facing a third-and-17 from the LCM 40-yard line, senior QB Jake Sonnier tossed a 51yard screen pass to Robert Green that set up the Bears at the Silsbee 9-yard line. Two plays later, Green rambled into the end zone to give LCM a 7-0 lead with 7:01 into the game. Silsbee was forced to punt on its next possession, but the Tigers defense stepped up forcing a fourth-and-four. Tigers defensive backs Troy Gore and Dontre’ Thomas double covered an LCM receiver and tipped the ball that ended up in the hands of Thomas. The junior defensive back rambled 15 yards to the Silsbee 37-yard line, giving the Tigers hope. See TIGERS on PG. 2, SEC. 2
ing a tag on the chain along a yard marker on the field, to keep the chain length precise in case it is needed to measure on the field of play. Norwood is the longest standing member of the Silsbee “chain gang”, having been doing the task on Friday nights for 35 years. The second longest in the gang is Wright, who has been at the helm for 28 years. Hawthorne has done it for 22 years and Hinkie is probably the “newbie” of the group, having served for 12 years. Norwood first got into the crew when a good friend asked him to join. He recalls Reid Dickert asking him to join, and today he continues to love it.

Silsbee’s offense struck quickly after a first down pass from Partain to sophomore receiver Kolten Mackey covering 13 yards. But the Tigers were forced into a fourth-and-five from their own 49-yard line. On the fourth down play, coaches went to the trick plays, where Kirkendall completed a 13yard pass to Desmond Arm-

the second quarter. Both defenses played tops in the opening of the third quarter, each forcing a punt and a turnover on down. But LCM’s defense halted Silsbee on its second possession of the game, forcing a turnover on downs with Thomas taking over under center for Partain. The Tigers were forced into a fourth-and-1 from the LCM 49-yard line. Thomas was sacked at the Silsbee 49-yard line, giving the ball back to the Bears. In one play, Green rambled 49 yards for a touchdown to extend LCM’s lead 21-7 with 29 ticks in the third quarter. In Silsbee’s next possession, Thomas tossed an interception
strong on a reverse pass play for a first down to the LCM 46-yard line. Three plays laster, junior RB Brooks rambled 22 yards to pay dirt, and Silsbee tied the game 7-7 at the start of the second quarter. Defense thwarted LCM once again, forcing a punt after five plays. But the Tigers lost a chance at taking a lead in the game when Partain tossed an errant pass after he was being pressured. LCM took over at the Silsbee 34-yard line with 8:03 left until halftime. The bears capitalized on the turnover, capping a 7-play drive with a 4-yard run by Green with LCM taking the lead 14-7 at the 4:59 mark of

on the third play from scrimmage to open the fourth quarter, but the turnover didn’t cause harm. After exchanging punts, LCM put the icing on the cake, capping a six-play drive with a 28-yard pass from Sonnier to Dylan Gruber. Silsbee added a 10-play drive on its next possession, capping it with a 22-yard pass from Partain to Mackey. Silsbee improved offensively from last week, rushing for 127 yards as a team led by Brooks, rambling for 120 on 20 carries for his season high. Kirkendall led all receivers with three receptions for 74 yards.

The Lumberton Raiders met a speedy Beaumont Ozen team at Carroll Thomas Stadium in Beaumont on Saturday and battled them to a standstill for a half before seeing the Panthers speed do them in at the start of the second half. Josh Boyd scored the first points of the game when he broke free on a broken play for a 28-yard touchdown early in the game. Lumberton drove into scoring position and Bryce Schmidt connected on a 37yard field goal to narrow the gap to 7-3. During the second quarter, Calvin Tyler broke free and scored from 15 yards out to up the Panthers lead to 13-3. The Raiders did not fold and Tim Rhodes powered his way into the end zone late in the second quarter to narrow the gap to 13-9. The PAT attempt which, was a kick. was no good. But the Raiders were back in the game trailing 13-9 as seconds ticked off the clock, and the two teams went to the locker room. After the half the world caved in on the Raiders. A short kick set Ozen up in good field position at their own 48 yard line. Then Rodney Randle burst through the line of scrimmage and went straight to the goal line for what was heartbreaking touchdown. The score put Ozen up 20-9 and really changed the tone of the game. Still the Raiders did not throw in the towel. They got a

final opportunity when they scored on a pass to Kaden Addison. The pass covered eight yards and once again, Lumberton had fought back into the game. This time they trailed 20-17. The Raiders were still in the game at the six minute mark of the fourth quarter. Then Tyler exploded past the Raiders for an 82-yard run. The score put the Panthers up 27-17 with only half a quar-
ter remaining. A final Ozen TD with 2:53 left in the game upped the final margin to 34-17. Lumberton finished the game with 180 yards rushing and 185 passing. Ozen had 376 yards rushing and 92 yards passing. Rhodes led the Raiders ground attack with 20 carries for 146 yards and a touchdown. Stephen Yarbro completed 9 of 22 passes with one

Turnovers haunt Lamar in the setback to SHSU The new look Lamar Cardinals fell behind by 16 points in the first half and never recovered dropping a 42-10 decision to Sam Houston State Saturday night at Provost Umphrey Stadium. The loss ended a modest two-game win streak for the Cards and dropped them to 3-2 (.600) on the season, and an 0-1 start in Southland Conference action. “We just didn’t play well tonight,” said head coach Ray Woodard. “We couldn’t run the ball and we left some scoring opportunities on the table. You can’t stop a team as good as Sam Houston when you had the miscues that we did tonight. But, you also have to take your hats off to Sam, they came ready to play and took advantage of every mistake. “We have to find a way to bounce back. Sam Houston did that tonight after a tough loss their last time out. I know the players are disappointed - I hope they’re disappointed. If they’re not disappointed after a game like this, they are not the type of players we want.” The Cardinals – sporting black alternate helmets – forced a three-n-out on Sam Houston State’s first possession but the Cardinals tried a long ball that was picked off and six plays later the ‘Kats took it in for a score. The Cardinals would surrender two more field goals before cracking the scoreboard. The Cardinals got a 33-yard field goal from Josh Davis to cut the score to 13-3 with 2:59 remaining in the half.
Trailing by only 10, there was still time remaining for the Cardinals to put up another score if they could get a stop. Sam Houston’s Jared Johnson guided the Bearkats on a six-play, 77-yard drive that ended with a six-yard touchdown run from Donavon Williams to give SHSU a 19-3 lead heading into the locker room. The Cardinals struck first in the second half when senior Mark Roberts hauled in a 32-yard reception from classmate Caleb Berry. Following the extra point, the Cards moved back within nine, 19-10, less than six minutes into the second half. The Roberts’ score would be as close to a rally as Lamar would

Lions drop district opener to Kirbyville, 55-14, Friday The Kountze Lions dropped a 55-14 game at Kirbyville Friday to the host Wildcats. The game was probably closer than the final score indicated as the Lions missed some early opportunities that could have turned the game to a degree. Early in the game, Kountze moved the ball to the Wildcat 24 where the drive stalled with three straight incomplete passes. After the Wildcats forced the change of possession, they promptly took off on a 12-play, 76-yard drive that ended with Tevan Samuels scoring on a 15yard run. The score came with 1:13 left in the quarter. The two point conversion was good, giving the Wildcats the 8-0 lead. However, less than a minute later, after a fumble and a pass interception by Grayland Arnold, the Lions took over at the Kountze 24 yard line. Arnold, who is one of the most explosive players in the area, thew a pass to Justin Harper, who raced 76 yards for a TD and the Lions had pulled within two at 86. The score came with 39 seconds left on the clock in the first period. The Lions were unable to tie the score because the two point conversion pass was no good. At this point in the game, the
From Section 2, Page 6 Evadale went into halftime with a 20-8 lead. The Rebels opened up the third quarter with good field position at the Cushing 49-yard line. Evadale needed only three plays as Wright broke a 38-yard run to the Bearcat 1-yard line. On the very next play, Wright finished the job taking it in for the Rebels fourth TD. Torres added the extra point kick and the Rebels led 27-8 with most of the second half left to play. Cushing used an 8-play drive on the ensuing possession to close the gap with Evadale to 27-15. The Rebels Shane Stanley had an electrifying 45-yard run and Evadale looked like they would answer Cushing’s score with one of their own, but a three plays inside the Cushing 15 ended with a missed field goal attempt. Cushing began their drive on their 20 and began driving on the Rebel defense. Seven plays later, they had cut into the Rebel lead with a TD and drawn to within six points at 2721. With time quickly running, Evadale forced Cushing into a fourth down situation. Torres eventually picked off the Bearcats quarterback to preserve the win. The Rebels will have two weeks to prepare for the start of district play and they will be home for their third straight game as they will host Iola on Oct. 11, who was the pre-season district favorite. “I am very excited about our record,” Williams said. “We have had plenty of players step up and contribute. The team has needed every player and to this point they have done very well. The games that really count are now in front of us and we will continue to take each game and focus on that week’s opponent. We just have to keep taking care of our business.”
Lions were unable to stop the Wildcat’s offense. Tye Dennis and Patrick Beatty took turns pounding into the line as Kirbyville drove inside the Lions 10yard line. Then, Henry Barnes made a good stop at the one. However, Beatty scored the next play. The score and the kick by Rodrigo Brig upped the Wildcats lead to 15-6 with 10:10 left in the half. The Lions were unable to get their offense untracked during the remainder of the half. Kirbyville kept pounding away at them and they almost scored, but the drive stalled when Arnold broke up a pass at the five, forcing Kirbyville to attempt a field goal. The 22 yard attempt was no good with just under five minutes remaining in the half. Late in the half, Kirbyville took over at its own six and Jackson Gore immediately hit Devin Tyler with a pass that moved the ball to the Kountze 36. Seven plays later, the Wildcats faced a fourth and three at the Wildcat 13. Samuels got the ball on fourth down and ran to the Lions one, which set Kirbyville up with a first and goal. Samuels scored the next play and the PAT kick upped the margin to 22-6 with 1:03 left in the half. After the half, Kirbyville needed just one play to seal the Lions fate. After holding Kountze to a three and out, the Wildcats took over at their own 20. Jackson and Tyler hooked up on an 80-yard pass and run. The PAT kick was blocked but the Wildcats had a 28-6 lead. They upped that lead to 36-6 on the first play of their next possession when Dennis ran 39 yards for a score. This time the PAT pass to Samuels for the two-point conversion was successful. At this point in the game, Kirbyville had only run a couple of plays in the second half, but they had scored two touchdowns, had a PAT kick and a two point conversion. With 8:55 left in the third quarter the game was almost out of reach with the Wildcats leading 36-6. By this time, Arnold was out of the game after suffering from cramps and the Lions could not get their offense untracked.
Early in the fourth period, Tyler scored his third TD of the game on a 25-yard reception. Once the margin moved to 496 Ryder Longion hit Harper with a pass. Harper broke into the clear and raced 86 yards for a score. Then Longion hit Kyler Bumstead with a pass for the two point conversion. This cut the lead to 49-14. Dennis scored a final TD for Kirbyville with 4:19 left in the game. The Lions who have opened the season with four tough games, must face another next week when they return home to face the East Chambers Buccanneers. After the game, coach Joubert

Lady Lions spilt pair of games The Kountze Lions volleyball team spilt a pair of games last week. Tuesday night they lost to East Chambers in four games. They defeated East Chambers 25-12 in the first game and then lost three straight 18-25, 22-25 and 23-25. Precious Powell had 10 kills, two blocks, six digs and two ace serves. Camry Clemons had five kills and eight blocks. Casey Tousha
stated that the team is steadily working on ways to let the team get better so they can win. He said, “We are trying to let the kids know we believe in them and are getting better. We need to win four or five in a row. The guys can do it if they work together. We must step up at quarterback.” He concluded by saying “we have to stay positive as a coaching staff and keep the boys going.” To date, the Lions opponents have combined a season record of 16-1 with Camden Corrigan 40 Hardin Jefferson 5-0, Kirbyville 4-0 and Shepherd 3-1. East Chambers comes into this game with a record of 4-0 record.
had eight digs. Adrianna Haynes was the assist leader with 16 assists. On Friday, the Lady Lions defeated a Kirbyville squad that had already beaten East Chambers in a similar fashion to how Kountze lost to East Chambers. The Lions lost the first game 16-25 and then came back to win 26-24, 25-21 and 26-24. Powell had five kills and four blocks in this effort. Clemons had

Rebels shock continues to rise Scott Loar On Wall Street, there are always ups and downs, but on the gridiron you always looking for improvement with each and every game. For the 2014 Evadale Rebels, there were plenty of questions as Mark Williams and his coaching staff knew that they would be depending on a number of freshmen and sophomores to fill vital positions this season. Those younger players and their upper classmen teammates have now completed their five game non-district schedule and with a victory over Cushing, the Rebels have posted a 4-1 record they are definitely trending higher.
Evadale opened up the game with Cade Flowers recovering a short kickoff at the Cushing 36yard line. It only took the Rebels four plays to cash in on the their good fortune with quarterback Logan Hare finding running back Tye Frazier in the back of the end zone for a 33-yard touchdown pass. The point after kick failed and the Rebels had a 6-0 lead with 10:11 in the first quarter. Cushing picked up one first down on their first drive but a sack of the Bearcat quarterback by Evadale linebacker Forrest Wright forced a punt. A high snap over the Bearcat punter, gave possession to Evadale at the Cushing 27 yard

By Scott Loar The Evadale Lady Rebels are steamrolling its district opponents, now with a 5-0 record in district play. And to boot, they have yet to lose a single game in those five matches. In fact they have only allow 20 or more points by an opponent in three of the 15 games in the five matches. “This has been the kind of effort that we have worked for all season long,” Coach Debbie Hollyfield said. “The team is fighting for every point and we have been able to put every opponent away 3 to 0 which proves we are get-
ting tougher as we move through the season.” Last Tuesday the Lady Rebels hosted the Premier Learning Academy, which is a charter school that has been in the Lady Rebels district a few years. The Lady Rebels won 25-9, 25-12 and 25-11 in the sweep. Torie Langston had eight kills; Haleigh Oldbury had six kills; McCartney Graves has 11 points; Hanna Conner had 11 points and 12 assists; Kourtlyn Christian had six points and Wendy Williams had five points.

the ball on the Rebels 49-yard line. Cushing struck quickly as their running back took a pitch and raced 44 yards for a TD. A twopoint conversion trimmed the Rebel lead to 14-8. A bad punt from Evadale on its next possession set up Cushing with good field position at the Evadale 45-yard line. Cushing was unable to sustain a drive against the Evadale defense and punted.
