Citizen critical of Seawall for use of funds on special interest projects
BY TERRY MOSIER
The Commissioners of the Matagorda
County - Palacios Seawall Commission were
questioned by a citizen about the use of tax
dollars and also thanked for their continued
support of the Palacios Coastal Education Pavilion at last week’s monthly meeting.
Buddy Lenz, a resident of Collegeport, addressed the commissioners by saying that he
has noticed all of the special interest groups
that come to the Seawall and Navigation commissioners asking for funding on their projects.
He also stated that he does not think tax dollars
should be used for special interest projects.
Pavilion Update
Debbie Morris thanked the commissioners
for their continued support and reported on
the status of the Palacios Coastal Educational
Pavilion to the commissioners. According to
Morris, the project will be 50% completed
when the next payment is made.
Two grants are pending and the Palacios
Beautification - Pavilion Committe has received over a dozen substantial grants so far,
including 2 from General Land Office programs.
Morris noted that the project, although
lacking in completion funds to date, would
not have begun had it not been for a deadline
on the use of a million-dollar GLO grant.
Joe Kana reported that he had conversed
with the contractor to find out they are waiting on bolts for the structural steel beams and
are calling every day about them. Work is
proceeding on the ADA ramp while the bolts
are in transit.

There are 97 palm trees along the Bayshore

to alleviate any safety issues.

Larry Lanfear, inspector for the district,

Ford F-150 pickup pulling a trailer driven by
Joe Louis Galvan of Blessing failed to yield at the

The impact from the Lincoln pushed the trailer

Tragedy hits home with
the shooting death of Dallas
Police Officer Patrick Zamarripa. The senseless shooting
claimed the life of Zamarripa,
along with four other Dallas
Police officers. Zamarripa
was a 1st cousin of local resident and school Board Vice
President Peter Zamarripa.
The shooting occurred during
a Black Lives Matter protest

It was reported the shooter
told police before his death
that he intended to kill as

BY ALAN C. SCHULMAN
Palacios Beacon - Reporter
Wednesday night’s Special Called Meeting of the Palacios ISD Board of Trustee’s
resulted in the hiring of Finance Director
James Schuman. Schuman comes from the
Kingsville ISD, and is a necessary hire due
to the ongoing health problems being experienced by current Finance Director, Herbert
Ressler. Ressler will be retained by the Palacios ISD on a part-time basis, and will work
with Schuman upon his return.
Schuman has vast experience navigating
the complexities of school finance in Texas,
and his mother is also in school finance.
Also approved at the meeting was the hiring of four Alternative Certified Teachers.

PCMC hopeful to re-break ground

Palacios Beacon - Reporter
When a groundbreaking
ceremony was held for the
new Palacios Medical Clinic
nearly a year ago, expectations were for a nine-month
timeframe for construction of
the facility. Ten months later,
the site appears exactly as it
did at the groundbreaking
ceremony.
With no signs of progress,
an inquiry was made to Bob
Van Borssum, who is on the
Board of Directors of Palacios Community Medical
Center. He had expressed
earlier that the Board was experiencing sticker shock with
bids they had received from
contractors, and his recent response to the inquiry outlines

Deadline to apply for federal food and shelter funds Wed.
Matagorda County has
been awarded Federal funds
made available through the
U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency
under the Emergency Food
and Shelter National Board
Program. Matagorda County
has been chosen to receive
$18,864 to supplement emergency food and shelter pro-
grams in the county. The
selection was made by a National Board that is chaired
by the U. S. Department of
Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management
Agency and consists of representatives from United Way
Worldwide; Catholic Charities, USA; National Council
of the Churches of Christ in
the USA; The Jewish Federa-
afoc-heart2heart.com
tions of North America; The
Salvation Army; and American Red Cross.
The Local Board is charged
to distribute funds appropriated by Congress to help expand the capacity of food and
shelter programs in high-need
areas around the country and
will determine how the funds
awarded to Matagorda County are to be distributed among
the emergency food and shelter programs run by local service agencies in the area. The
Local Board is responsible
for recommending agencies
to receive these funds and
any additional funds made
available under this phase of
the program.
Under the terms of the
grant from the National
Board, local agencies chosen
to receive funds must: 1) be
private voluntary non-profits
or units of government, 2)
be eligible to receive Federal
funds, 3) have an accounting
system, 4) practice nondiscrimination, 5) have demonstrated the capability to
deliver emergency food and/
or shelter programs, and 6) if
they are a private voluntary
organization, have a voluntary board. Qualifying agencies are urged to apply.
Public or private voluntary
agencies interested in applying for Emergency Food and
Shelter Program funds must
contact the Matagorda County United Way, 2417 Avenue
G, Bay City, Texas 77414, at
(979) 245-5852 for an application. The deadline for applications to be received is
5:00 p.m., July 20, 2016. Applications can also be downloaded from the Matagorda
County United Way website
at MCUWTX.org.

the Board’s intentions.
“We are working on revisions to the clinic plans
that will reduce the construction cost, but still
meet the clinic design
criteria that the staff has
indicated through round
table discussions would
be optimal for patient care
and meet the construction
standards for health care
facilities.”
“Needless to say, there
are a lot of issues to address to progress with the
clinic construction ASAP.
This is a high priority item
of the PCMC Board of Directors and our goal is to
see ground breaking before the end of the year.”
Firefighter recovering from injury
GLEN FLORA: A Glen Flora volunteer firefighter was
released from a hospital on Monday after he was injured
in the Briar Pointe Apartments fire in Wharton. The Rev.
Adraylle Watson had been at Oakbend Medical Center in
Richmond since the night of the fire June 14. Watson has
suffered from severe smoke inhalation and carbon monoxide poisoning. “The sad part is (the) Rev. Adraylle Watson will never be the same again,” said Sarah Hudgins of
Wharton. “He is not in good shape and cannot walk from
the bed to the bathroom or shower without getting winded
or falling.” Watson was not covered by an injury insurance
policy from the Glen Flora Volunteer Fire Department because of a 0.5 percent budget cut in 2014 that left the volunteer fire department without the funds to pay for the addon policy. A fundraiser benefit is being planned to cover
the cost of Watson’s medical bills. - East Bernard Express
A $400-million drop in value for coal plant
ROCKDALE: How did the Sandow Power Plant’s two
units go from being “worth” $449 million in 2014 to $50
million this year? According to Luminant, it’s a combination of the ascendancy of natural gas fired units, powerful
competition from a subsidized wind industry and the general decline of coal-fired power plants. Gas plants now account for about half the Texas-Electric Reliability Council
of Texas (ERCOT)-grid’s power. Only 28 percent of ERCOT’s energy came from coal in 2015, down sharply from
36 percent in just one year. Michael Ferguson, associate director at Standard & Poor, bluntly called coal-fired plants a
“dying industry.” The Milam Appraisal District values Sandow Power Plant Units 4 and 5 hundreds of millions of dollars higher than what Luminant is seeking, and the stage is
set for high-stakes litigation. Luminant is the county’s, and
Rockdale ISD’s largest taxpayer. - The Rockdale Reporter

Zamarripa was Hispanic.
Also ironic is the fact that
Zamarripa was a veteran, as
was the shooter.
Peter Zamarripa stated that
he hadn’t seen his cousin in
several years and is, understandably, angry and distraught about his death. Zamarripa said that, in spite of
other opportunities, his cousin just wanted to be a police
officer.
LA GRANGE: Inside the Texas Chicken Ranch: The
Definitive Account of the Best Little Whorehouse by Jayme
Lynn Blaschke, who grew up in Columbus, has been released and will be available for purchase Aug.1. Thanks to
the classic Dolly Parton film, The Best Little Whorehouse in
Texas and ZZ Top’s ode La Grange, many people think they
know the story of the infamous Chicken Ranch. The reality is more complex, lying somewhere between heartbreaking and absurd. For more than a century, dirt farmers and
big-cigar politicians alike rubbed shoulders at the Chicken
Ranch, operated under the sheriff’s watchful eye. Madam
Edna Milton and her girls ran a tight, discreet ship that the
God-fearing people of La Grange tolerated if not outright
embraced. That is, until a secret conspiracy enlisted an opportunistic reporter, the late Marvin Zindler, to bring it all
smashing down on primetime television. Through exclusive
interviews with Milton, former government officials and reporters, Blaschke delivers a fascinating, revelatory view of
the Chicken Ranch that illuminates the truth and lies that
surround this iconic brothel. - The Banner-Press

McDonald appointed to GLO’s Coastal Resiliency Advisory Group
Matagorda County Judge Nate McDonald was recently appointed to the
Coastal Resiliency Advisory Group
(CRAG) by Texas General Land Office
Commissioner George P. Bush.
The CRAG is a 15 member regional
advisory group consisting of representatives from local government, business
and industry leaders, each serving twoyear terms.
"This coalition of regional leaders
is an important element of my plan to
make costal protection a priority both
during the upcoming legislative session
and for the long-term," Commissioner
Bush said. "Texas' beaches, marshes and
islands are a symbol of Texas’ rich heritage and ensuring that we build, maintain and protect our coast is one of my
top priorities. With input from those who
live and work in Texas’ coastal community, we will be better equipped to make
decisions regarding both economic activity and wildlife preservation."
McDonald will serve the Houston/
Galveston Region along with Chambers
County Commissioner Gary Neslon and
Roger Quiroga, Director of Economic
Development & External Affairs for the
Port of Galveston.
Three members were selected from
each of the five coastal regions of the
Regional Councils of Government
(COGs). These regions include the following counties:
Region 15: Hardin, Jefferson and Orange
Region 16: Austin, Brazoria, Chambers, Colorado, Fort Bend, Galveston,
Harris, Liberty, Matagorda, Montgomery, Walker, Waller, Wharton
Region 17: Calhoun, DeWitt, Goliad,

Region 20: Aransas, Bee, Brooks,
Duval, Jim Wells, Kenedy, Kleburg,
Live Oak, Nueces, Refugio,
San Patricio
Region 21: Cameron, Hidalgo, Willacy
Of the three members from
each region, one is an elected
or government official from
a county or municipality. The
second is a representative
!
from a coastal conservation
or regional planning organization. The third is a representative from a regional
port or member of the coastal

I worked for my hometown
newspaper, The Teague
Chronicle.
I went back to Sam Houston the next summer and
found my mentor, head of the
SHSTC journalism department, had no jobs for me. I
still needed to work to attend
school. So, I sought Don for
some guidance.
He told me there just
weren’t enough jobs in
Huntsville for students who
were majoring in journalism.
Don suggested that I look
into attending the University
of Houston, then a private
school, and offered to take
me there and introduce me to
the director and assistant director of journalism.
Away we went to Houston
where, true to his word, Don
introduced me to Bruce Underwood, director, and Billy
I. Ross, assistant director of
the journalism and graphic
arts department. They gave
me a $1-per-hour job as the
secretary-receptionist for the
J-GA department.
I worked from 8 a.m.-1
p.m. Monday through Friday
for $1 an hour. Don apparently told the directors I was
a needy student but vouched
for my ability and potential. He also suggested any
paid position on the student
newspaper. So, I became the
weekly Houston Cougar’s
copy editor for $5 a week.
My class schedule included
two courses on Monday and
Wednesday evenings and two
on Tuesday-Thursday nights,
plus a three-hour Saturday
morning class. I got through
my junior year on that schedule.
My senior year was even
more different. It was all
night school but a full-time
day job necessitated that.
So, I actually finished

Applications for emergency farm loans for losses
caused by severe storms and
flooding occuring on May
26, 2016 and continuing are
being accepted at the Farm
Service Agency (FSA) office
located in Wharton, Ms. Gail
A Hoskins said today.
Wharton and Matagorda
Counties are 2 of 43 in Texas
recently named by President
Obama as eligible for loans to
cover part of actual production and/or physical losses
resulting from severe storms
and flooding.
Ms. Hoskins said farmers
may be eligible for loans of
up to 100% of their actual
losses or the operating loan
needed to continue the agricultual business, which ever
is less. For farmers unable
to obtain credit from private
commercial lenders, the interest rate is 3.250 percent.
“As a general rule, farmers must have suffered at
least a 30 percent loss of production to be eligible for an
FSA emergency loan”, Ms.
Hoskins said. Farmers participating in the Federal Crop
Insurance program will have
to consider proceeds from
those programs in determining their loss.
Applications for loans under this emergency designation will be accepted until
February 13, 2017, but farmers should apply as soon as
possible. Delays in applying
could create backlogs in processing, with possible delays
into the new farming season”,
Ms. Hoskins said.
FSA is a credit agency of
the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It is authorized to
provide disaster emergency
loans to recognized farmers who work at and rely on
farming for a substantial part
of their living. Eligibility is
extended to individual farmers who meet U.S. citizenship
requirements and to farming
partnerships, corporations, or
cooperatives in which U.S.
citizenship requirements are
met by individuals holding a
majority interest.
The FSA office in Wharton
is open from 8 a.m. to 4:30
p.m, Monday through Friday. Additional information
regarding disaster Assistance
Programs may be found online at http://disaster.fsa.usda.

Scholars Program, or HAS, is an interactive
online learning experience highlighted by a
weeklong internship at NASA.
From across the state of Texas, 246 students were selected to participate by their
state legislator through a highly competitive
process. Tommy was nominated by Representative Dennis Bonnen. Eligible students study
mathematics, science, engineering and computer science by interacting with engineers at
NASA's Johnson Space Center. Tommy qualified for the program by beginning work last
fall on an online course consisting of interactive lessons

Garcia attends NASA High School Aerospace Scholars Program
By Debbie Mosier
After a recent cooking class with Chef Mike Morphew, I browsed the La Petite Gourmet Shoppe in La
Grange. I spotted several spiralizers, which are kitchen
gadgets that turn vegetables into a substitute for pasta. I
am the owner of two such tools, one is handheld and one
is a tabletop model. The tabletop model operates much
like sharpening a pencil. As one turns the handle, the
vegetable is “sharpened” while veggie spirals collect in
the bowl below. Both work well, but when in a hurry,
I find the inexpensive handheld one to be my personal
favorite. While spiralized veggies don’t taste like pasta,
they are a healthy substitute. I like to spiralize zucchini,
yellow squash, and carrots as a colorful option.
I never really thought about this week’s recipe for
Shrimp Scampi as an Italian dish, but indeed it is. According to a New York Times article, scampi are actually
tiny lobster-like crustaceans sometimes called langoustines. Scampi came to America with Italian immigrants
who had to adapt their traditional dish by using ingredients available in their newfound home. They substituted shrimp for the scampi but kept the scampi name
and added “shrimp” to the title. In restaurants scampi
may be shrimp sautéed in butter with breadcrumbs on
top. Traditional Italian scampi most often contains the
prawns, garlic, and olive oil instead of butter. Variations
include adding tomatoes and other herbs. Although my
original recipe calls for butter, I really prefer my modified version that includes olive oil. I’m anxious to try
the recipe using a new butter infused olive oil recently
introduced to me by Chef Morphew .

During the internship, the students were also

one another in a design challenge, of which
Tommy’s team, Team Bravo, was the winner. Tommy is the son of Jaime and Stephanie

Palacios ISD Free and Reduced-Price Meal Policy Criteria
Palacios ISD announces its policy today for providing free and
reduced-price meals for children
served under the attached current
income eligibility guidelines. Each
school/site or the central office has
a copy of the policy, which may be
reviewed by anyone on request.
Starting on August 22, 2016, Palacios ISD will begin distributing
letters to the households of the children in the district about eligibility
benefits and any actions households
need to take to apply for these benefits. Applications also are available
at each campus office, or at the Administration Building.
Criteria for Free and
Reduced-Price Meal Benefits
The following criteria will be
used to determine a child’s eligibility for free or reduced-price meal
benefits:
Income
• Household income that is at or
below the income eligibility levels
Categorical or Automatic Eligibility
• Household receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF);
or Food Distribution Program on
Indian Reservations (FDPIR)

Back-to-School tips when
you’re on a budget
(StatePoint) Between new
clothes and new school supplies, back-to-school season
can put a strain on household
budgets.
In 2015, families planned
to spend $630 on back-toschool items, according to
the National Retail Federation, and this year’s numbers are also expected to be
pricey. With a little planning,
your family can get the most
out of your school shopping
budget -- by taking advantage
of sales, comparison shopping, buying in bulk and simply by making sure you don’t
buy things you already own.
Here are some smart ways
families can reduce costs as
students head back to class
this fall.
End-of-Season Sales
Take advantage of endof-season sales to stock up.
This concept may not help
you this fall, but it’s a great
habit to adopt now for longterm savings. You can stock
up on summer clothes now
and great fall items once the
weather gets chillier. Stores
will be offering deep discounts and clearance prices
on items that eventually will
come in handy for next backto-school season. Remember
to take into account that kids
grow quickly!
Add it Up
Bigger ticket school supply
items can cost you a pretty
penny if you don’t comparison shop.
For example, required tools
like a high-quality graphing
calculator can come with a
price tag of $75 or more!
Get more for your money
with an affordable model,
such as Casio’s fx-9750GII,
which retails for under $50.
It offers useful features like
a high resolution screen and
compatibility with a personal
computer. It is also permitted to be used in such major
tests as the ACT and the SAT.
More information about calculators can be found at CasioEducation.com.
Take Stock and Buy in
Bulk
Don’t buy things you already own, and take advantage of bulk discounts for the
stuff you need! Before making your shopping list take
stock of what school supplies
you already have in your
closets -- and your child’s
backpack -- from the last
school year. From scissors to
folders to unused or partially
used notebooks, you may already have many things your
kids need for the year ahead.
For those necessities that
kids will need all year long
-- such as tape, paper, pens,
pencils, markers and more
-- take advantage of bulk
sales at discount stores and
online retailers. Buying more
now can save you cash in the
months ahead.
Go Green
Brown bags, plastic baggies and plastic silverware
are small expenses that add
up quickly. Instead, opt for
reusable lunch container alternatives and a one-time expense. It’s not only good for
the planet, but kids will get
on board if you let them pick
items that speak to their sense
of style. You’ll also save
yourself trips to the store!
Don’t let back-to-school
make a hefty dent in your
wallet. At the store, take advantage of great deals and
also consider different ways
of eliminating perennial expenses.

DCTF favors East Bernard, Boling in District & Region
Tidehaven picked to finish 3rd in Dist. 14-3A DII
BY RYAN WEST
Palacios Beacon Publisher
In last week’s Beacon the
Palacios Sharks’ football
forecast, along with their
District 14-3A DI counterparts, courtesy of Dave
Campbell’s Texas Football
Magazine (DCTF) was featured and this week, we drop
down to Class 3A Division
II, and focus on the Tidehaven Tigers and the rest of
District 14-3A DII.
In the loaded District,
DCTF sees East Bernard
remaining the big dog on
the block while the talented
Bulldogs from Boling appear
to be closing the gap. The
Texas football ‘bible’ has
Tidehaven and Schulenburg
duking it out for the third and
fourth playoff spots. Bringing up the District cellar,
DCTF points to the threesome of Wallis-Brazos, Danbury and Bloomington.
DCTF points to Boling
RB Elijah Gooden as the
preseason Offensive MVP,
while Tidehaven’s FS Jacob
Galvan is the preseason Defensive MVP.
For the Tigers, out is Brent
Mascheck who departed
for the Class 4A Columbia
Roughnecks and taking the
reins is Tidehaven alum, David Lucio, who comes to Tiger Nation from Class 2A Louise.
Lucio inherits an Area finalist
playoff team that went 7-5 in 2015
and returns 18 lettermen and four offensive and two defensive starters.
Listed as players to watch by
DCTF were: RB Jeff Williams,
QB Bryce Galvan, WB/FS Jacob
Galvan, OL/DL Chris Rodriguez,
DL Martin Trevino, DE Dylan Birchum, and ILB/RB Jatorien Travis.
Listed as Other Prospects by
DCTF were: Will LB Bobby Brune,
OL Braden Fitzgerald, TE Kalob
Green, DB Brandon Rozner and OL
Jacob Galvez.
2016 notes: RB Williams (1,471
yards, 17 TDs) powers the wingT attack, with QB Bryce Galvan
(1,010 passing, 459 rushing) directing traffic. WB/FS Jacob Galvan
(131 tackles) is a two-way star.
Here’s the full previews from
DCTF and how it sees the landscape
of District 14-3A DII playing out in
order of predicted finish:
EAST BERNARD BRAHMAS:
Coach Wade Bosse; 26 lettermen;
3 offensive, 1 defensive starter returns from 2015’s 12-3 Class 3A
State Semifinalist season.
Players to Watch: RB/LB Locke
Rowley, QB Thomas Long, WR/LB
Cody Lehmann, RB Will Anderson,
TE Michael Sims, RB Deleon Per-
PLAYER TO WATCH
JEFF WILLIAMS - RB
PLAYER TO WATCH
BRYCE GALVAN - QB
kins, OG Jared Fuechec, LB Hunter
Goudeau.
Other prospects: OT Justin Billeau, OG/DE Logan Baird.
2016 notes: RB/LB Rowley, QB
Long and RB/DB Anderson are juniors, representing the future of the
program. TE Sims is a big target,
and RB/DB Perkins may be the next
big thing from a program famous
for producing the next big thing.
BOLING BULLDOGS: Coach
Stephen Dorr; 22 lettermen, 9 offensive, 6 defensive starters return
from 2015’s 12-2 3A DII Regional
Semifinalist squad.
Players to Watch: RB/LB Elijah
Gooden, RB/DL Kade Bicham,
QB/DL Vernon Jackson, RB/WR/
DB Ronald Krushall, NT/OT Larry
Krushall, OL Jose Haro, DB/WR/
RB Luis Mares, OL Vincent Rodriguez.
Other prospects: TE/HB/DB Garrett Monroe, LB/WR Josh Rangel,
LB/TE Antonio Garcia, OL/DE
Robert Sanchez.
2016 notes: RB/LB Gooden
(1,725 yards, 19 TDs rushing, 70
tackles, 9.5 sacks) is an All State
caliber talent. RB/DL Bickham,
(818 yards, 7 TDs rushing, 45 tackles, 4.5 sacks) is another two way
threat and QB/DL Jackson (973
yards, 11 TDs passing, 753 yards,
13 TDs rushing) is a beefy dualthreat signal-caller.
SCHULENBURG
SHORTHORNS:
Coach Brandon Brown,
16 lettermen, 8 offensive, 8 defensive starters
return from 2015’s 5-5
campaign.
Players to Watch:
TE/DL Davonn Granger, QB/DE
Joshua Brown, FB/DL Caleb Valchar, RB/SS Rhett Ahrens, OL/DL
Kiezland Quintero, FB/RB Cason
Brown, WR/DB Jase Hollas, OL/
LB Juan Reyna, K Mario Lara.
Other prospects: RB/LB Brandt
Vyvjala, Ol/DL Jacob Salem, OL/
DL Michel Cruz, WR/DB Abriel
Garcia.
2016 notes: The strength of the
team will be up front defensively,
where TE/DL Granger (55 tackles.
5 sacks) will lead the way. The offense will revolve around QB/DE
Brown (557 rushing, 688 passing 9
total TDs).
WALLIS-BRAZOS
COUGARS: Coach
Ned Barrier; 17
lettermen, 7 offensive, 8 defensive starters return from 2015’s
3-7 season.
Players

Mendez,
DE Jaeden Ward,

pages 2 (football camp) & 4 (volleyball

PLAYER TO WATCH
JACOB GALVAN - WB/FS
Orea, WR Flo Combie,
WR Hunter Vykukal.
Other prospects: S Stephen Demny, DL Ferron Felix, CB Andrew
Small, WR JaKodeon Hodges, LB
Bailey Gonzales.
2016 notes: QB LaFrance is a
dynamic dual-threat, and RB Hardin will help to form a powerful
one-two punch. The defense will be
strong up the middle, especially in
the LB corps with Indermuehle and
Mendez.
DANBURY PANTHERS: Coach
Michel Mason; N/A letterman, N/A
starters return from 2015’s 2-8 campaign.
Players to Watch: Colby Mitchell,
Jacob Ainsworth, Connor Plander,
Ethan Beck, Case Frank.
2016 notes: Former Daingerfield
DC Mason takes the helm. The Panthers lost a few all-district selections, but some talent returns, offering a nice foundation. P Mitchell
was an all-district selection, as was
WR Ainsworth.
BLOOMINGTON BOBCATS:
Coach Adam Arroyo; 24 lettermen,
9 offensive, 7 defensive starters return from 2015’s 1-9 season.
Players to Watch: RB/FS Demarcus Bryant, QB/WR/CB Raymond
Martinez, FB/LB Deidrick Miller,
OG/DT Corey LeDeay.
Other prospects: OG/LB Charles
Galindo, OG/NG Joe Trevino, K
Maruo Urbina.
2016 notes: RB/FS Bryant (1,146,
11 TDs rushing, 501 yards, 6 TDs
passing, receiving TD) is an allpurpose dynamo. FB/LB Miller has
a nose for the ball on defense, and
OG/LB Galindo is the strongest
player on the team.
As the calendar nears the dogdays of August, football fans from
around the Lone Star State begin to
salivate as practices are set to begin
Aug. 1
