nothing. The time had come for our Savior to be in the hands of those who sought His death and He says only a few words…but what He says is powerful. “And the high priest stood up and said, ‘Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against You?’ But Jesus remained silent. And the high priest said to Him, ‘I put You under oath by the living God, tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God." Jesus said to him, "You have said so. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.’ Then the high priest tore his robes and said, "He has uttered blasphemy! What further witnesses do we need? You have now heard His “And while He was being accused by blasphemy! What is your the chief priests and elders, He made judgment?’ They answered, ‘He no answer. Then Pilate said to Him, deserves death,’’ Matthew 26:61“Do you not hear how many things 66. they testify against You?” And He Jesus did not have to be taken did not answer him with regard to away by force. He was willing to even a single charge, so that the go because He understood, as no governor was quite amazed,” one else could have understood, Matthew 27:12-14. what He was about to face. Jesus understood the holiness of God and Pilate knew the truth, and the Jews He understood the consequences were opposing the truth. The Jews coming upon Him as the Sinhad unjustly convicted Jesus and bearer for the entire world. “From Pilate had justly exonerated Him. Hoping that Jesus would come to His now on you will see Me seated at the right hand of Almighty God.” own defense and help expose the deceitful Jewish leaders, Pilate said That was an amazing statement of to Him, “Do you not hear how many life beyond the grave, as well as a statement that the Father and the things they testify against You?” But, again, Jesus didn’t answer him Son would be together in power. “You will see Me coming on the to a single charge. Pilate had confronted hundreds of accused men clouds of heaven.” Jesus is the Messiah, seen in a vision by and most of them loudly protested their innocence and were willing to Daniel, bringing heaven to earth in the final day. He is the Son of say or do anything to save God, and you and I will see Him. themselves. Many of them made countercharges against their accusers or else passionately pled for mercy. “But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the A person who said nothing in his Christ, the Son of God, and that by own defense was unheard of and believing you may have life in His beyond belief.

will be a freshman next season and expected to fill the shoes of older sister. "She just got on the select team that I was on." said Harvey. "They had their first practice the other day and everyone kept asking her if she was Riley's sister, because we look alike, I guess. My mom was a little worried because what's expected of her isn't going to be the same as what I did. She'll be a good. We're a competitive family. She'll be good." Riley Harvey benefited from the rare advantage of going from one Coach Lands to another. Shannon Lands is the eighth grade girls basketball coach and her husband Derek is the varsity girls basketball coach. Harvey feels that helped tremendously with the transition her freshman year. "Mrs. Lands eased us into a game that we would be playing in high school and that helped us." said Harvey. "It also helps to build a program and a future." Harvey's Howe basketball future is behind her and she reflected on the final game against Grandview in the area championship that knocked the Lady Bulldogs out and finished the senior careers.

As sophomore starters, they paid no attention to their youth and inexperience and marched their way to the playoffs until finally losing to Alvord. "I just remember people saying, 'they're so young,' but after that year, you only have two years left" said Harvey. "At some point, you just have play. Even if you're 15-year-olds playing against 18-year-olds - that's why you're on varsity - you can do it. When we lost to Alvord, we had two years left, but those two years went fast." After graduation, she will head to Stephen F. Austin State University, as her parents did. Due to excellent planning and taking college classes while in high school, she will obtain her Associates Degree even before she will be presented with her High School Diploma in June. Her plans are not to be on the basketball team, but her plans are to play the game she loves.

We'd played them before." said Harvey. "We didn't make it as a freshman and I know expect to lose by 20. They fought how much work it takes to start. harder.
