STATE CHAMPIONS!

Broncos defeat Grapeland, 64-60

Victory brings first state title to CHS By Sandy Anderberg

Whether or not you are a basketball fan, you have to be a Bronco fan after witnessing history being made on the Alamodome hardcourt in San Antonio last Saturday. The State Championship was the first for a team sport in Clarendon and Coach Boston Hudson, at 25, might possibly be the youngest coach to win a State Championship. “The guys did what I asked. They bought in (to our plan), and I think we did it the right way,” first year head basketball coach Hudson said about the Broncos’ 2A State basketball win. All season, the Broncos had a goal to reach; the State Tournament and a Championship. Their goal came to fruition last Saturday morning as the strong and determined team took to the court. With fans in the ‘Dome, at the Mulkey Theater, and at home, the Broncos flexed their muscles and made their dream a reality by defeating a good Grapeland team 64-60. The Broncos had only four losses this season. Their last loss came at the hands of the Canyon Eagles who are a solid 4A team with only one game before their District opener. That loss spurred on the Broncos who faced off against Gruver to begin a 12-0 run in regular season. Their post-season play was stellar as well as they worked their way through Fritch, Farwell, Floydada, Christoval, Wink, and Lipan before punching their ticket to the Championship game in San Antonio. Early on in the Championship game, the Broncos stormed to a 18-12 lead behind a 10-3 run before ending the first quarter of play. The Broncos fell off somewhat in the second quarter but regained the momentum after the break. There were 11 lead changes in the game and four times the score was tied. Both teams were cold from behind the arc shooting 16 threepointers all together, but the one long ball that was all net belonged to Thompson at the third quarter buzzer

Celebration set to honor Broncos

There will be a “Meet the State Champion Broncos Celebration” at the Clarendon Bronco gym on Tuesday, March 23, at 7:30 pm. The entire community is invited, and the school is hoping some of the Bronco alumni who played in previous state tournaments will be able to attend. Face coverings are recommended.

from about six or seven steps behind the mark to get the Broncos to one point up. “I thought Jordan (Herndon) was going to hold it, and I ran up there to shoot the ball and saw Jmaury (Davis) set me a screen and I shot it,” Thompson said. “We knew they were just as athletic as us. They had their #3 who played just like Jmaury, and he had a double-double at half time. Number 00 was backto-back All-State and we knew #5 was going to be a handful.” Thompson gave props to Jordan Herndon who took out the best players all year with his strong defense and was able to get the Grapeland player in foul trouble. The Broncos were able to add three points to their one-point lead in the final eight minutes of play that had exaggerated ups and downs for both teams. With only 40 seconds to play, Grapeland turned the ball over, and Clarendon’s Lamarcus Peniger drove to the basket and was fouled. Peniger missed the first shot, but made the second putting the game at 60 all with 30 seconds remaining. A player for Grapeland took the inbound ball and headed down court only to be picked by Peniger who made good on an easy layup to lead by two with 10 seconds to go. “I was so excited on the steal, I almost jumped on the layup early,” Peniger said. “I thought I was going to get chased down, but it was exciting to make that shot and help my team.” After a time out, Grapeland’s Johnny Lamb drove to the bucket, but Davis was there to take the charge giving his team the ball while fouling the Grapeland player out. Cayden D’Costa, who has been a bright spot on the team, then heaved the ball full court to Thompson who made the easy lay in. Grapeland had one more chance but could not convert giving the Broncos exactly what they went to San Antonio to do; come home with the gold. The free-throw line was not a friend to either team.

ENTERPRISE PHOTOS / ROGER ESTLACK only made 13 of 24 from the bonus line for 54 percent. However; the Sandies struggled to finish at 48 percent missing 15 out of 29 shots. Seniors Donovan Thompson and Ethan Babcock have been solid all season and contributed to the Broncos’ great season at 25-4. “I’m just so proud of them and I’m thankful for our seniors Ethan and Donovan,” Hudson said. “We will miss these guys, but what a way to go out for these two. I don’t think it could end any better than the way it did.”

Thompson would go on to win the MVP of Class 2A. “We’re just excited and going to enjoy this and try to do it again next year,” Hudson said. “I’m going to take spring break and enjoy it and as soon as we get back start looking at things and figure out all the pieces of the puzzle for next year and try to do it all again.” Thompson finished with 21, Davis had 13, and Sylvester Ballard helped with 12. Peniger put in eight, Herndon added six, and D’Costa finished with four. Davis had eight

rebounds, Ballard grabbed seven and had two assists, Thompson had five rebounds and five assists, Peniger grabbed two offensive rebounds and had three assists, Herndon had five defensive rebounds with two assists, D’Costa had four rebounds and five assists, and Lyric Smith had one defensive rebound in the game. The Texas Association of Basketball Coaches selected an All-Tournament team. Joining Thompson was Ballard and Davis. This was the Broncos 5th trip to state. The Broncos previously made

appearances in the final four in 1969 where they faced Friendswood; the championship game in 1970 where they took on Kennard; the final four in 2011 where they faced Tenaha; and the championship game in 2017 where they took on Muenster. In addition to a large number of Bronco fans traveling to San Antonio, more than 200 packed the Mulkey Theatre to watch the game live on the big screen, breaking out into the Clarendon High School Song when the final buzzer sounded in San Antonio.

Thompson earns MVP title at state game By Sandy Anderberg

Clarendon senior Donovan Thompson has been solid all year as a player and leader for the Broncos. All of that maturity and success on the court came back to him as he was named the Most Valuable Player for the 2A State Championship Game in San Antonio last weekend following the Broncos’ 64-60 win over Grapeland. Thompson moved to Clarendon at the end of his freshman year and began playing basketball with the junior varsity Broncos. Coach Alton Gaines was his coach, and he was able to help Thompson better his skills on the court. He soon turned

into a key player for the Broncos and topped off his career with the MVP medal. When asked if he was nervous before the game, Thompson said he was nervous up until the game, but stayed calm as the game began. The Broncos are a good threepoint shooting team, but they struggled in this game. Thompson converted the only three-point shot from way behind the arc at the end of the third quarter to put his team up by one. According to Thompson, the Broncos knew that Grapeland was athletic and had some really good players.

“I don’t think I ever panicked, but I knew that when they started coming back, we had to go,” Thompson said. “I told them in the huddle that we need to extend the lead.” He noted that Lamarcus Peniger was so ready, that he went out made a free throw. “And I just knew after that that Lamarcus was ready to go. He stepped up big in the fourth quarter.” Thompson said he knew it would be hard to shoot on that court. “Coach Hudson said this is a bigger gym, and it is going to be hard to shoot the ball. We had a shootaround at 7:45, and we couldn’t make a shot.”

Thompson commented that he was thankful for his coaches and teammates. “They all showed up; we had each other’s backs this year.” Thompson was surprised about receiving the MVP and felt he did not play that well. “I really didn’t know; I wasn’t even thinking about that at the time. I was just happy,” Thompson said. Thompson had nothing but praise for the Bronco coaches. “At first we tested him a little bit,” Thompson said. “There were times he tested us, too. When one MVP Donovan Thompson puts of us had to run, we all ran as a team. in the final two points to secure the 64-60 win. ENTERPRISE PHOTO They tested us every day.”

Right to know Let’s get right down to the point should be front and center now By Kelley Shannon

With state lawmakers immersed in the COVID19 pandemic response and Texas’ electricity failures, the public’s access to information must be at the forefront of the Legislature’s actions. Information allows citizens to watch over their government, to speak out and to ask questions. There’s no better time than Sunshine Week, starting March 14, to emphasize the importance of the people’s right to know. The Freedom of Information Foundation of Texas and other open government proponents are taking part in a Sunshine Week online discussion March 18 hosted by the Texas Public Policy Foundation as the Texas legislative session approaches its midway point. Fortunately, lawmakers in both political parties are working to enact timely transparency legislation. Texas Public Information Act compliance. Throughout the pandemic, many government offices have not responded to open records requests, citing the physical closure of their offices or because they were operating on a “skeleton crew” with staffers working remotely. House Bill 1416 by Rep. Giovanni Capriglione, R-Southlake, and Senate Bill 925 by Sen. Judith Zaffirini, D-Laredo, define business days under the Public Information Act to ensure timely responses by governments. Furthermore, SB 1225 by Sen. Joan Huffman, R-Houston, and HB 3627 by Rep. Chris Paddie, R-Marshall, clarify existing law pertaining to “catastrophe notices” that governments can file to briefly suspend TPIA responses during a disaster. This legislation adds specifics to the law to prevent abuse. Enforcement measures requiring governments to respond to public information requestors, even if no responsive records are found, are spelled out in SB 927 by Zaffirini and HB 3015 by Rep. Ana Hernandez, D-Houston. Texas Open Meeting Act improvements. Virtual meetings allowed under the Texas Open Meetings Act have worked well for many governments during the pandemic, but in some cases rules for public comment have been unfairly imposed and telephone call-in lines have not been provided to accommodate those without Internet. SB 924 by Zaffirini and HB 2683 by Rep. Terry Canales, D-Edinburg, address these concerns. Nursing home and assisted living pandemic transparency. Sen. Lois Kolkhorst, R-Brenham, chair of the Senate Health and Human Services Committee, filed SB 882 so that nursing home residents and their loved ones can get the information they need about communicable disease outbreaks, including COVID-19. Zaffirini filed a similar bill, SB 930, as did Rep. Mayes Middleton, R-Wallisville, with HB 3306. Online contracts. Legislation to require more online posting of government contracts would help citizens better track how tax dollars are spent, during a pandemic or any other time. Capriglione filed HB 2913 and Zaffirini filed SB 929 to achieve this goal. Dates of birth in public records. Access to a birthdate in a government record promotes accuracy. It can aid citizens vetting a candidate for office; journalists identifying a person in a crime report; or banks, credit report companies and employers relying on public record background checks to conduct business. HB 3535 by Rep. Todd Hunter, R-Corpus Christi, and SB 926 by Zaffirini address this important measure. Searchable-sortable records. When government information is stored in spreadsheets or other electronic formats, a requestor may need the data in that electronic format for searching, sorting and organizing. HB 1810 by Capriglione; SB 928 by Zaffirini; and SB 729 by Sen. Nathan Johnson, D-Dallas, require information to be provided the requested available electronic format. Law enforcement transparency. House and Senate members are also working to improve access to police records involving in-custody deaths and to body camera and dash camera video. This helps to ensure public accountability. Key bills are HB 2383 by Rep. Joe Moody, D-El Paso and SB 975 by Sen. Royce West, D-Dallas. This Texas legislative session is an unusual one amid the coronavirus pandemic. But ensuring access to public information is a familiar endeavor and always necessary. Now is a crucial time to protect this basic right. Kelley Shannon is executive director of the non-profit Freedom of Information Foundation of Texas. For more information go to www.foift.org.

When our class of first graders was marched into the school auditorium for our shots, there were screams, tantrums, teeth-gnashing, and a couple of smothering spells. Show me someone who winces at the thought of hypodermic injections and chances are strong that such fears were birthed by some smart-aleck kid who happens to be one or two school grades older. I’ve persuaded myself to “man up”–after all, it now seems that injections are a way of life until reaching the exit. (Not until I was age 50 or so could I manage to keep such fears under wraps, and sometimes not even perspire.) The current emphasis on inoculations against COVID-19 has led most senior adults to get their shots at the earliest possible opportunity, needles be hanged…. ***** When I entered first grade in 1944, I was barely aware of needles. I’d heard about their hiding in haystacks, and my old mother saying something about a “stitch in time saves nine.” The school year had barely started when conversations buzzed about a nurse coming to our school to give inoculations for measles and mumps. You never heard such descriptions of pain. After all, second graders had experienced the “herd inoculation” a year earlier, so they had months to concoct stories that scared the “bejeebers” out of naïve first graders… ***** Will this be the day? Fears of the nurse appearing THAT DAY persisted for a couple of weeks. This gave the plucky second-grade “veterans” ample time to heap untruths upon our innocent ears. “Reckon she’ll use her crooked

needle this year?” one asked. Another said a needle had broken off in a child’s arm the previous year, and still, another claimed the needle was by don newbury bigger than veterinarians use on horses. To this day, the smell of alcohol reminds me of 1944, when our class of some 30 first graders was marched into the school auditorium, where there were screams, tantrums, teeth-gnashing, and a couple of smothering spells. Not to be forgotten, either, is the prankster who brought a catsup packet to school, smearing it on his arm as if the inoculation had caused great loss of blood…. ***** Obviously, TV personnel sent out to make news clips at inoculation sites today don’t know so many of us have horrendous memories of getting inoculations back in the day. Almost invariably, they show close-up shots of needles being jabbed in, often with accompanying expressions of distrust on the recipients’ faces. Just once I wish they would show a novice “shot-giver” (as I’m sure many of them are) injecting an orange. I’m told this is how they learn. I’d much rather watch “Shark Tank” reruns than see folks being injected. First-grade experiences, I guess, made me that way…. ***** In the 1970s, Carter Blood Center in Fort Worth handed out bumper stick-

the idle american

ers.

I applauded the intent but felt their word choice was ill-advised. It read: “Hurts a little, helps a lot.” I cringed. Is it really a good idea to suggest that it hurts at all, even if only a little? The message was short-lived…. ***** Today, there are “real troopers” when it comes to such matters. I doubt that many children dread taking injections these days. I know that my great-niece, Harper Odette, is in that category. A while back, the six-year-old suffered what they call a “green-stick fracture” in a playground fall. It was essentially the same injury her 12-yearold brother, Austin, had sustained earlier…. ***** She “ho-hummed” her way through procedures at the hospital emergency room, where her dad Philip was the one who could have used a sedative. When the nurse injected the “mild sedative” to Harper before her surgery, she seemed to fell asleep immediately. The nurse admitted that it usually took a while longer for anesthesia to kick in. Philip continued to study Harper’s face, leaning closer. “Boo,” the youngster shrieked…. ***** Finally, this joke about a patient undergoing anesthesia for the first time. “This makes one feel like he’s drunk, doesn’t it, doctor?” “I wouldn’t know,” the doc responded. “I’ve never had anesthesia.”… *****

Big ideas in the Texas Panhandle By Walter Wendler

West Texas A&M University is focused on big ideas. Communities of the Texas Panhandle sharpen this focus. The Panhandle is a big place, with challenges and opportunities that require big approaches to problems in response to community expectations. Ideas in WTAMU’s long-range plan, as explained below, are the foundation of WT 125: From the Panhandle to the World. Water is the Panhandle’s most important resource. It’s big. Without water, agriculture withers and economic prosperity wanes. WT recognizes the sustaining power of water. The agricultural heart of the nation, of which the Panhandle is a significant part, is one of the ten most challenged regions of the country for water scarcity. WT plans to systematically focus on the water needs of the top 26 counties of Texas. The Texas A&M University System Chancellor, John Sharp, committed $1 million to West Texas A&M University to support water research: conservation, extraction, importation and purification challenges. Chancellor Sharp is a man of big ideas and recognizes, as do the citizens of the Panhandle, addressing water scarcity is a big challenge and requires new, big ideas. Beef is a big idea in the Panhandle. It’s tough to produce, creates challenges in the production cycle in terms of water consumption and waste production, and requires a diverse labor force. WT’s vision for the Panhandle is clear. The region needs to support beef production efficiently to help feed the state and nation. The U.S. leads the world in pro-

ducing beef, and no region in the United States feeds and produces as much beef as the Panhandle and high plains of the state—about one-third of the total U.S. production within a 100-mile radius of Canyon. Energy resources in the Panhandle are vibrant. Carbon-based fuels have been important for over a century. In the coming decade’s renewable energy, especially wind, will contribute to meeting the state’s energy needs. The treacherous cold wave endured in the winter of 2021 caused concerns regarding the durability of renewable resources. One disastrous cold snap is an anomaly. Amarillo, the closest and most important neighbor of Canyon, Texas, is one of the four windiest cities in America. Tough on hairdos, to be sure, but distinctive in the opportunity our location provides to understand wind energy and the science and prospects for its effective use. Distributed healthcare, absolutely necessary in sparsely populated places, requires big ideas. The Panhandle’s future regarding healthcare? WT will continue to focus health industry efforts on rural population healthcare initiatives and the people of the Texas Panhandle who need access to healthcare, healthcare education or healthcare resources. Increased capacities for innovative health care are provided by innovative people. It is essential. A constellation of small, dispersed educational institutions provides Panhandle communities stability. Rural towns are losing population, yet, are home to one in five Texans, two and five people on the planet, and are desirable places to

live and raise families in a wired world. Digital communication reduces the distance by the speed of light. Thomas Friedman advances a similar notion in” Why the World Is Flat.” These future connectivity demands lie on the steps of the schoolhouse. Supporting Texas Panhandle educators in various ways has defined WT since its inception. WT will continue to expand and adjust its work to provide high-quality educational leaders who live and work across this region. WT’s new doctoral program is focused on educating leaders for smaller schools and unlike any other in the state or nation. Community life and values animate the human experience, on the coasts and deep in the nation’s breadbasket. WT relentlessly pursues the big idea that all communities, no matter size or location, need a rich cultural life through the Sybil B. Harrington College of Fine Arts and Humanities. The heart of the Texas Panhandle, home to dozens of small communities, relies on Amarillo and Canyon for cultural, human and community sustenance. WT remains committed to the cultural appreciation and values of the region; they contribute immeasurably to life in the Panhandle. WT’s Panhandle mandate is to meet regional needs with big ideas—homegrown rather than imported—enlivened by our world-views and experience. Persistent pursuit of place, people and purpose is the Panhandle’s provision to WT.

Panhandle weather gets dramatic

It is difficult to describe Panhandle weather to someone who has never lived here. Other people say, in describing their weather, “If you don’t like it, just stick around.” Ours is different. We woke Saturday shrouded in fog. By noon, the fog had been replaced by wind and clouds, and it made you wonder what was next. The humidity and dew point were rising above 30 percent and temperature was about 65-68 degrees. My phone pinged about 4:30 telling me Donley County was in a tornado watch, meaning conditions were right for a tornado to develop. I turned the television to channel 4, and John Harris was in front of the weather map tracking storms west of us. I wish everyone could have seen the drama going on and the colors on that map. Bright red, bright green, purple, red and green mixing, then something that looked like a

cloud on the green which was described as a “rainwrapped tornado.” F r o m Floydada on the South by peggy cockerham Plains to Pan- Howardwick • 874-2886 handle, Silverton, and Palo Duro Canyon to Kincaid Park at Greenbelt Lake with damage in Claude and Clarendon. We set it out down in the cellar. At our house we received no damage, just three inches of rain and lots of wind. Yes, three inches of rain. Our electricity went off sometime and my cell phone battery died but still had Jim’s phone. Thank you Greenbelt Electric linemen for working in horrible conditions to get our electricity back on before 10 p.m. There is a lot of clean-up going on, but I don’t think

‘wick picks

there were any injuries. Thank you, sweet Jesus. All our modern equipment helps save lives beginning with the National Weather System, the television channels, the smart phones, in Howardwick the One Call system that sends out warnings to all the residents’ phones, the siren system, and, last but most important, the storm watchers. We have so many people working to keep the citizens safe from Mother Nature. Thank you all and God Bless you. I send my congratulations to the Clarendon Broncos boys basketball team for winning State! What an accomplishment. Thank you Moms and Dads for all the work you put in helping your sons achieve this goal. Ole Jim and I both have received our second COVID-19 vaccine. My family is slowly reaching that herd immunity so we can get together again. God bless everyone and keep us safe.

Trip to see the Broncos win state

Last weekend, my family and I went to San Antonio so we could watch the Bronco basketball team play in the state finals. We also took my friend, Mason, with us. We left one day early so we could have the entire day to get there, and we stopped in Fredericksburg to eat lunch and go shopping, before going on to San Antonio. The next morning when we woke up, we went to the Alamodome

Lifters compete in Regional Meet

to watch the Broncos play. We watched the entire game and towards the end it looked like we were about to lose, but we had two fast breaks in a row and we by benjamin estlack were able to pull through and beat Grapeland! We won state!.

the cub reporter

After the game, we went to Six Flags; and even though I don’t like roller coasters, I still had an amazing time. That night when we got back from Six Flags, my friend Jaythan took me and some other friends out on a carriage ride which was awesome. The next day, we sadly had to go home, but it was an amazing trip and I hope we win state next year.

The Bronco Powerlifters competed in the Regional Power Lifting Meet last Thursday in Sundown and were both able to lift personal bests in their weight class. Rhett Caison competed in the 165-pound weight class and finished 11th, which was two spots ahead of the two lifters that he was tied with going into the meet. Caison lifted a total of 945 pounds, a personal best. He also had a personal best in the squat lifting 340 pounds. He posted a weight of 235 pounds on the bench and 370 pounds on the dead lift. Colton Benson has improved all year as well and finished sixth in the 123-pound weight class with a lift total of 570 pounds which is a personal record for him. Benson was able to post a personal best in the squat of 185 pounds, 135 pounds on the bench and 250 pounds on the dead lift. Benson improved two spots ahead of where he qualified. “I was very happy with the way they competed at the meet,” Nino said. “Colton increased his total by 35 pounds and Rhett increased his total by 25 pounds. They both worked very hard this year and it showed on the last meet. I would like to thank them and all the powerlifters for their efforts this year. I would also like to thank Mr. Jeffers, the students, faculty, administration, and our athletic Director Coach Conkin for their support this year. The sendoffs were great.”

Court hears two pleas for one defendant The district court heard two pleas, both involving the same defendant, when it met in Clarendon Thursday, March 11, via the internetbased meeting app Zoom. District Attorney Luke Inman, along with Assistant District Attorney Harley Caudle, prosecuted the cases for the State of Texas, with the Honorable Judge Stuart Messer presiding. Jesus Enrique Navarro, 31 of Wellington, was sentenced to two separate prison terms, one for 10 years and the other for 15 years, for two separate felony offenses. The 10-year sentence was on a probation revocation for the third degree felony offense of assault family violence by choking. The 15-year sentence was on a second

degree felony burglary of a habitation. “We have victims of domestic disputes and family violence who are continuously physically beaten and either keep going back to their abusers or just can’t get away from them,” said Inman. “The physical abuse is visible. What’s not seen by everyone is the emotional and psychological damage that’s being done to everyone involved. We have services for those individuals but it takes victims or family members to speak out against their abusers.” Navarro was initially placed on probation for the assault family violence case on November 28, 2017, with the offense having been committed on July 27, 2017. The State filed its motion seeking revocation

of Navarro’s probation on August 17, 2020, based upon Navarro’s violation of several conditions of his probation. The burglary of a habitation, committed on February 12, involved the same victim. “I hope these two prison sentences serve as a warning to any other domestic abusers in our district,” said Caudle following Navarro’s sentencing. “We don’t care if you ‘sweet talk’ the victim into trying to drop the charges. Felony charges belong to the State of Texas, not the victim, and we will make sure you go to prison.” At the hearing on Tuesday, Navarro admitted to violating probation, and Messer sentenced him to prison.

NOTICE OF COMPLIANCE TARIFF FILING Southwestern Electric Power Company (SWEPCO) filed with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (Commission) on March 11, 2021 its Petition requesting approval of its proposed Military Base Surcharge Tariff. Section 36.354(a) of the Public Utility Regulatory Act (PURA), at Texas Utilities Code § 36.354, provides that each electric utility in an area where implementation of full customer choice has been delayed by the Commission in accordance with PURA Section 39.103 shall discount charges for electric service provided to a military base. Section 36.354(b) of PURA establishes the discount to be provided to military installations as a 20 percent reduction of the base commercial rate that the electric utility would otherwise charge the installation. Section 36.354(c) of PURA provides that the electric utility may assess a surcharge to all its Texas retail customers to recover the difference in revenue between the revenues from the discounted rate for military bases and the base commercial rate. SWEPCO’s Tariff Sheet No. IV16 provides the Military Base Adjustment Factor per billing kWh as reflected below: MONTHLY FACTOR Major Rate Classes Residential Commercial & Small Industrial Industrial / Large Lighting and Power Municipal Outdoor Lighting

$/kWh $0.0000780 $0.0000566 $0.0000302 $0.0000637 $0.0000946

SWEPCO has requested that the tariff become effective with the first billing cycle of June 2021. The Petition has been assigned Tariff Control No. 51892. Persons who wish to intervene in or comment upon this proceeding must notify the Commission within 21 days of SWEPCO’s filing of the Petition.

J Hatley ousts Quanah at the plate By Sandy Anderberg

Clarendon High School pitcher Brock Hatley threw a near-perfect game for five innings that resulted in only one hit for the Indians, but no runs. He also struck out six hitters in the Broncos’ 13-0-win last week. An explosive third inning was the catalyst for the Broncos’ win as they scored eight runs. Cottrell walked before Hatley, Frausto, and Havens singled, after which Aiden Caudle doubled. Jace Cottrell, Koyt Tucek,

Caudle, Hatley, Rhett Caison, and Jared Musick each had a hit in the game and the team ran wild on the bases posting 25 stolen bases. Colton Benson led the way with six stolen bases and Caudle most plays in the field at seven. Earlier in the week, the Broncos played Fritch to a 5-5 tie. SanfordFritch added a run in the opening inning to take the early advantage, but the Broncos answered back in the second with a run of their own. Each team earned one run in the

third, but SF scored two runs in the top of the fourth on a double. Caudle would then double up on a 0-2 count that scored one run. Caison’s single then score another run. Overall, the Broncos had seven hits on the day as did Sanford-Fritch. Frausto and Caison had multiple hits to lead the Broncos. Musick racked up three stolen bases as the team ran crazy with a total of 10 stolen bases. Neither team found homeplate in the seventh.

CJH earns championships in Groom The Clarendon Junior High Colts and Lady Colts stormed through Groom last week and solidly won both Championships. The Colts took first with 148 points with the second-place team racking up 124 points. The Lady Colts easily won first with 199 points way ahead of the second-place finisher with only 105 points. The Lady Colts dominated the relays with first place finishes in the 400m, 800m and mile relays. The Colts ran successful relays as well placing first in the 800m relay, second in the mile, and third in the Sprint relay. Bryce Williams, who is known for his long-distance running, won the 800m, 1200m, and the 2400m races. Anthony Brown took first place in the high jump. On the Lady Colt side, Presley Smith took first in the 800m, Kimbrasia Ballard took first in the long jump, and Madi Benson won first in the pole vault. Lady Colt results: 100m: Bal-

Lady Broncos defeat Pampa JV, Claude

By Sandy Anderberg The Lady Broncos had a busy week on the diamond and earned two big wins over Pampa junior varsity at 5-4 and 15-0. The game came to the fourth inning tied at four all with Jentrye Bellar up to bat. Bellar slammed a double on the first pitch that scored one run. Pampa JV took the early advantage in the first inning with a run on a double before the Lady Broncos posted three runs in the second inning with Jade Benson and Bellar getting an RBI. They scored three more in the bottom of the third a hit and an error by the Lady Broncos. Bayleigh Bruce was on the mound and earned the win. She went four innings and allowed four runs on four hits and posted no strike outs before Madi Smith took over the duties. She earned the save by recording the last three Pampa outs. The Lady Broncos had seven hits on the day and Bellar and Benson made good on two hits each. The ladies had a tougher time against the Childress Lady Cats and took a 5-0 loss.

The Donley County Leader

Tornadoes hit Clarendon, Greenbelt Wreckage and debris were left in the paths of two tornadoes that struck Donley County Saturday evening, March 13, but no injuries have been reported. Both tornadoes struck the City of Clarendon, and one moved on to Greenbelt Lake, ripping up travel trailers, mobile homes, docks, and other structures in the lease lots and marina area on the south side of the reservoir. The National Weather Service in Amarillo initially categorized both storms as EF-0 tornadoes but later upgraded the storm that hit the lake to an EF-2 with wind speeds of up to 120 mph. NWS said at least seven tornadoes hit the Panhandle area Saturday evening as an upper level storm system moved northeast across the southern Rockies, and severe thunderstorms with tornadoes developed as wind shear, moisture, and instability increased just ahead of the upper level storm system. “If the temperature had been five degrees warmer, it would have been a massive storm, according to the weather service,” Donley County Sheriff Butch Blackburn said. “There was considerable damage, and they are finding stuff tore up at the lake that was not evident right after the storm.” Clarendon Fire Chief Jeremy Powell said spotting the storms was

difficult because the tornadoes were rain-wrapped. “We had several areas of circulation, and we had at least a dozen spotters out watching,” Powell said. The first tornado started near the JA Ranch Road at 5:42 p.m. just outside of Clarendon and moved across the edge of the city, moving near Maple Drive and then hitting the edge of the college campus, damaging the baseball scoreboard, before gathering strength and heading to the lake, Powell said. The weather service said the tornado took on a wider path as it progressed towards Greenbelt Lake, where it damaged mobile homes, recreational vehicles, and boating facilities. Many trees were also snapped in the area. The first tornado followed a path of about 13.2 miles and was as wide as 1200 yards and was on the ground for about 30 minutes before it dissipated north of the old liquor store by the golf course. The storm missed the populated part of the City of Howardwick, but caused considerable damage on the southeast side of the lake. “It hit what’s usually referred to as the A and B lots area, Old Marina Point, and Jetski Beach,” Powell said. “I’m estimating between 30 and 50 trailers or mobile homes were damaged, and one permanent residence was damaged. I’d guess about

three-quarters of a million dollars in damage just at the lake alone.” Powell said officials shut down entrances to the lake Saturday night because of the wreckage and the large number of downed power lines in the area. Sunday morning, people with property in that area were allowed to come inside. As the first tornado still raged, a second tornado touched down at 5:51 in Clarendon, near Eighth and McLean streets, progressed to Bond Street and then moved north, destroying fences, damaging roofs, and breaking and uprooting trees along the way. The storm also hit the First Baptist Church before dissipating as it crossed US 287. The second storm reached peak wind speeds of about 80 to 85 mph, followed a path 0.6 miles long, and was a maximum of 40 yards wide at one point. It lasted for about one Tornado moving north after coming along Bugbee Avenue. minute, the weather service stated. It could have been a satellite to the larger tornado. Several homes, trees, and sheds were damaged. Approximately 10 homes suffered shingle damage to roofs, while multiple trees were downed, the weather service reported. Following the second storm, emergency personnel did a grid search of the area starting at Koogle Street and moving west to check on homes and damage, Powell said.

March Winds Blow! March:

www.readingclubfun.com

Strong wind can blow a flying bird off its course, so I like to stay on the ground and have fun on days when there are powerful wind gusts.

Kids: color stuff in!

I like wind. Gentle breezes cool us and carry sounds of laughter. PUBLIC Ocean breezes smell so good! “Picnic” breezes lift our kites high into the air. When strong storm winds blow, they howl and shake the house. But, while the winds wrap around homes, people curl up with good books and families slow down to play board games together. Have you ever heard the saying that “March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb”? That means that the month starts off windy, but at the end it is calm. Let’s see if you can do my “windy” puzzles!

The wind roars into March!

Pisces and Aries are the __________ signs 9. jonquils and daffodils are its special __________ 10. has thirty-one __________ Mars

March In like a lion, out like a lamb!
