Ribbon cut to officially open redesigned FM 740
by Kathy Williams
Rockwall County residents have been familiarizing themselves with
the newly widened and redesigned FM 740 roadway since constructed
was completed in November 2012, but the official ribbon cutting on the
four-lane road took place on Friday, Jan. 18, 2013.
The result of a $100 million bond package passed by county voters in
2008, the road runs from Horizon Road in Rockwall to the Smirl Drive
intersection in Heath. New traffic lights at heavily travelled intersections
will help move residents in and out of housing developments and
landscaping will be planted in the spring to top off the project.
The ceremony was led by Rockwall County Commissioner Lorie
Grinnan, a leader in the push to improve Rockwall’s two-lane county
roads into wider thoroughfares that can handle the increased traffic of a
growing community.
In her opening remarks, Grinnan thanked all those who worked
“countless hours to get this done. It’s not often that a roadway is
considered special, but truly this one is. There are thousands of residents
that live south of here, there’s a major high school, there are businesses,
and it’s bounded by a lake. So this roadway was very important to us to
get it improved.”
On hand to offer his congratulations was Congressman Ralph Hall.
He said he was honored to be in the smallest county in Texas and said,
“We are the greatest when we work together. I’m proud of Heath, proud
of the judge and commissioners, and we have the best school system
anywhere.”
Also on hand was newly elected Rep. Scott Turner. Turner presented a
proclamation to Grinnan from the State of Texas recognizing the future
impact the improved road will have on the area.
Rockwall County Judge Jerry Hogan reminded those in attendance
how the road projects came to pass.
He said back in early 2000s, Rockwall County commissioners
recognized the need for road improvements but at that time, the state
didn’t have funding available. The commissioners banded together with
the cities within the county and formed the Rockwall County Road
Consortium. Members include mayors, city managers, administrators
and staff from Rockwall, Rowlett, McLendon-Chisholm, Fate, Heath
and Royse City.
“Their task was to come together and develop a master transportation
plan for Rockwall County,” Hogan said. “Not only were they going to
develop the plan but they were going to develop the priorities of how
those roads would be installed in the county.”
Once the master plan was in place, Hogan said the consortium
approached the State. The county said it would contribute to the building
of the roads, “and for every dollar we put in, you put in a little bit more.”
Hogan said that currently, for every dollar the county is contributing, the
state is putting in a little over $2.
Hogan said the county currently has a master transportation plan that
calls for $530 million, and the consortium has an additional $200 million
that it is debating on prioritizing.
“So we’re looking at a $750 million master transportation plan for this
county. We are going to the state, not with our hat in hand, but we’re
saying, ‘look, we’re willing to contribute so that our city and our citizens
can have better transportation,’” Hogan said.
The FM 740 project is actually the second bond project to be completed,
Hogan said, with the John King Blvd. loop being the first.
Hogan said there are currently about $125 million worth of road projects
that are funded and in construction or are obligated to start construction.
There are several projects that are scheduled for completion in 2016 and
Hogan said residents will see lots of construction in several areas around
the county going forward.
At the ceremony, Rockwall Mayor David Sweet said the new roadway
is “one of the most important economic engines into the community, not
just from a retail standpoint, but of course for the medical corridor.”
Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Rockwall, Arbor House of
Rockwall Assisted Living Center, the soon-to-be-opened Broadmoor
Medical Lodge, and numerous doctor’s offices and clinics are within a
stone’s throw to the east from the newly widened intersection at Horizon
Road and FM 740 in a rapidly developing medical district.
Heath Mayor Lorne Liechty offered a special thanks to the citizens of
Heath and Rockwall for putting up with “the little inconveniences we’ve
had these last two or three years.”
Liechty said working with people who have a common goal has helped
make the project easier and will benefit the City of Heath as it continues
to grow.
“This is great for the City of Rockwall and for the City of Heath,
(Above) Congressman Ralph Hall (center) had
the honor of cutting the ribbon to formally open the
newly reconstructed FM 740 roadway in Rockwall.
Construction was completed on the project in
November 2012. Also on hand to celebrate with Hall
were city council members from all county cities,
county commissioners, construction and engineering
personnel, city staff, community leaders and area
residents. The widened roadway runs from Horizon
Road to Smirl Drive/FM 1140 in Heath.

primarily because it allows ingress and egress and allows our citizens
to move quickly to and from their homes, but also because it will serve
as an engine for economic development in the community of Heath,”
Liechty said.
On hand to celebrate the culmination of the project were Rockwall
County Judge Jerry Hogan; Rockwall County Commissioners; Rockwall
Mayor David Sweet; Heath Mayor Lorne Liechty; mayors, city council
members, city managers, and city staff and administrators from the Cities
of Fate, Royse City, Rowlett, and McLendon-Chisholm; officials from
TxDOT, Huitt-Zollars Engineering and Ed Bell Construction Company;
Rockwall Economic Development Corporation; Rockwall Chamber of
Commerce; Innovative Transportation Solutions, Inc.; Rockwall County
Sheriff Harold Eavenson; officers from area police departments, and
area residents.
Grinnan also made special mention of former city council members and
county commissioners who worked to make the road projects possible.

Loans available for
counties due to drought
by Kathy Williams
Agricultural producers are now eligible for low interest emergency
loans since the USDA Texas Farm Service Agency (FSA) declared
207 counties in Texas, including Rockwall County, as disaster areas
due to continuing drought and heat
conditions.
The FSA Acting Executive
Director James B. Douglass made
the declaration on Jan. 9, 2013.
Under a new designation system,
producers with operations in any of
the 157 primary disaster counties
or 50 contiguous disaster counties
are eligible to apply for the loans,
according to a press release.
Producers have eight months from
the date of the declaration to apply
for emergency loan assistance. FSA
will consider each loan application
on its own merits, taking into
account the extent of losses,
security available and repayment
ability. Producers can borrow up
to 100 percent of actual production
or physical losses, to a maximum
amount of $500,000. The current
emergency loan interest rate is 2.25
percent.

Margaret Griffith
Margaret Griffith, 90, of Rockwall
died at her home Jan. 11, 2013.
The Rest Haven Funeral HomeRockwall Chapel was in charge of
arrangements.
Born to Eddie and Lottie Bunch
on Aug. 7, 1922, in Enid, Okla.,
she lived in Enid until the family
relocated to southern California when
she was 3 years old. She grew up in
the Depression and graduated from
Fremont High in Los Angeles, Calif.
There she met the love of her life, Jim
Griffith. After the war began, he joined the Army Air Corps. The two
were married in 1943 in Logan, Utah, where he was stationed.
Following the war, the couple settled in Anaheim, Calif., and started
their family. She enjoyed being involved in the PTA, the bridge group
and Eastern Star. She was an avid seamstress and sewed much of her
daughter’s clothing. Knitting, cross-stitch, crochet and needlepoint and
other forms of handwork also were her passions. There are many stories
of the escapades of the tight-knit group of young families that resided on
the cul-de-sac of Grafton Place where the couple lived for 37 years.
The couple traveled frequently and fell in love with Hawaii on their
first trip in 1968. They traveled to South America, across Canada and
made it their goal to visit each state in the U.S. They almost achieved
their goal. They frequently vacationed at their mobile home at Doheny
Beach. In 1989 they moved to Auburn, Calif., where they designed and
built their dream home overlooking Folsom Lake. Living near their
daughter, she was able to be involved in two of her grandchildren’s lives,
regularly attending baseball games and band concerts.
Her greatest challenge was her husband’s illness and failing health.
The couple relocated, following their daughter and her family, and in
June 2004 settled in Kauai, Hawaii, moving into The Regency at Puakea,
where he was in assisted living. He died a month later. She learned to
hula and then taught hula lessons. She was in a ukulele band, craft club
and did lei-making. She moved with her daughter and her family to
Rockwall in 2010 and spent the final year of her life at Arbor House of
Rockwall.
Perhaps the secret to her long life, despite her battle with breast cancer,
can be summed up in her daily routine of completing the morning
crossword puzzle and priding herself in the fact she still could make
her bed.
Survivors include her son and daughter, Jim Griffith of Huntington
Beach, Calif., and Linda Ballantine and her husband, Mike, of Rockwall;
her grandchildren, Jared and Noah Griffith, Clete and Julie Ballantine
and Skyler and Kalani Amdur; and her great-grandchildren, Chloe and
Marley Griffith, Heracyn Bell, Brad and Matt Ballantine and Greenlee
Amdur.

On God’s Word
by Timothy W. Burnett
Meek and lowly in heart ... Part 3
Life is filled with opportunities to believe God’s word. And there is
no greater example for us to learn from than Jesus, who is alive and in
heaven.
Peter said, “For even hereunto were you called, because Christ also
suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow in his
steps” (1Peter 2:21).
He was not talking about being crucified like Jesus. Instead, it meant
to follow his example of how he reacted to the suffering. It goes on to say,
“Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth. Who, when he
was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but
committed himself to him that judges righteously” (verses 22-23).
There is not one person on earth who has never suffered in some way
under the hands of natural causes or other people. It may be argued that
people can bring the suffering upon themselves because of different decisions.
Astoundingly, a study of Jesus’ last year will reveal that his final suffering came upon him as a result of his own righteous actions and words.
They who suffer for good actions and words can be assured that they are
not alone.
Jesus left us an example so that we might learn from him.
In Matthew 11:29 Jesus said, “take my yoke upon you and learn from
me, for I am meek and lowly in heart.”
If Jesus gave himself as an example for us, and said to learn from him,
then it stands to reason that we need to learn what it means that he was
meek and lowly in heart.
In other words, it was with a meek and lowly heart that Jesus did not
rail on the people who railed on him; did not revile the people who reviled
him; and committed himself to God in heaven who judges righteously.
In Proverbs 16:19 it says, “Better it is to be of an humble spirit with
the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.” To be lowly meant
to be poor and afflicted. The affliction could be by natural causes or by
other people. To be humble meant to be lowered below another of higher
authority and is also used for the physical gesture of lowering oneself
close to the ground.
What a fantastic lesson this is! Keep in mind that Proverbs came from
King Solomon who was the highest authority figure over God’s people.

He had great riches and controlled vast land. Solomon knew that it was
a godly thing for even the King to “be of an humble spirit with the lowly
or poor and afflicted.”
Our Lord Jesus had, and still has the highest and most powerful name
in earth and in heaven. Even the richest and most powerful families in the
world cannot match the name of God’s son, Jesus, which is more accurately translated Joshua.
Jesus was truly of an humble spirit with the lowly people.
Isaiah prophesied, “For thus says the high and lofty One that inhabits
eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him
also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones” (Isaiah 57:15).
During his sufferings, Jesus must have completely understood the above words from God through Isaiah. It is written, “that God was in Christ
reconciling the world unto Himself.”
The “lofty One that inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy” dwelt in
our Lord Jesus who was truly of a meek and lowly heart. Surely we can
safely conclude that God in heaven, Jesus’ Father, revived his humble
and contrite heart. Did Jesus not commit himself to his Father who is able
to judge righteously, with the hope of being resurrected from the dead?
And behold, God faithfully revived his meek, lowly, poor and afflicted
beloved son.
With great anxiety, Jesus prayed to God with an honest and meek heart
three times asking God to let the cup pass. God sent angels to minister to
him. by raising him. After Jesus suffered great affliction under the Jewish
Scribes and Pharisees with the help of the Roman governor, God raised
him from the dead three days and three nights later.
As we search the scriptures about Jesus’ meek and lowly heart as an
example for us, let’s look for opportunities to learn of him. When we
experience those lengthy or brief moments of great affliction, anxiety and
grief, we can pour our hearts out to God in prayer as Jesus did; we can
revile not others who revile us as Jesus did; we can rail not on others who
rail on us, as Jesus did; and we commit ourselves to God in heaven who
judges righteously, as Jesus did.

‘Oliver’ to be staged by Rockwall Community Playhouse in February
by Mary Thacker
The cast of “Oliver” has been hard at work on the stage of Rockwall
Community Playhouse in preparation for opening night Feb. 8. Rousing
tunes like “Oom Pah Pah,” “Food, Glorious, Food” and “Consider
Yourself” generate boisterous energy, while sentimental favorites “As
Long As He Needs Me,” “I’d Do Anything” and “Where is Love?” tug
on one’s heartstrings.
The musical is based on Charles Dickens’ play “Oliver Twist,” the
story of a poor orphan who gets mixed up with a gang of thieves led by
the wily Fagin and his apprentice, the artful dodger. The original British
production, with music and lyrics by Lionel Bart, premiered in the West
End in 1960 and opened on Broadway in 1963. The play was made into
a film in 1968.
Director Pamela Whittaker has worked as a professional actor in
Dallas and Los Angeles, appearing in commercials, film and television.
She has directed more than 50 musicals and plays. She started Studio
B Performing Arts Theater in Highland Village where she developed a
drama curriculum and performance program for children, as well as a
community theater.
When asked about her current undertaking she said, “The talent in this
cast and crew is a director’s dream.”
The cast and crew of “Oliver” is made up of nearly 50 members.

Germany’s Repatriation of Gold
by Jacob G. Hornberger, (fff.org)
Germany has announced that it’s going to repatriate 374 metric tons
of its gold that it has stored with the Federal Reserve in New York City.
While Germany claims that it will continue leave 1200 tons of gold in
the United States, this might actually be the start of a full removal of its
gold and its return to Germany. In fact, Germany also announced a full
repatriation of all 374 metric tons of its gold from France.
Why would Germany do that? It says that the reason is so that it
can have plenty of gold reserves available at home in the event of a
monetary crisis. The gold would enable Germany to purchase foreign
currencies or, actually, most anything else, in the event of a crisis,
reflecting, once again, that gold is real money.
But there is another possible reason for Germany’s decision: that
it doesn’t trust the U.S. government. That’s, in fact, the reason why
countries such as Libya, Venezuela, and Iran repatriated their gold.
They were concerned that in a “crisis,” the U.S. government would
seize it.
Fears of gold confiscation by the U.S. government are not irrational.
After all, that’s precisely what the U.S. government did to the American
people at the outset of Franklin Roosevelt’s presidency in 1932.
Taking the path of communist and socialist regimes, the Roosevelt
administration nationalized all private gold holdings in the country,
ordered Americans to deliver their gold to the government, and made
it a felony offense to own gold. Despite clear prohibitions against such
action in the Constitution, the federal courts upheld the seizure.
While FDR’s gold seizure is now just something that Americans learn
in history books, it is still one of the most shocking and appalling events
in U.S. history. When the country was established, the Constitution
made gold coins and silver coins the official money of the American
people. Thus, for more than a century Americans use gold and silver
coins, not irredeemable paper notes, as their medium of exchange.
Along came the Progressives, who succeeded in converting America
to a welfare-warfare state, one in which the role of the federal
government became a welfare caretaker for the American people and
a brutal policeman for the world. Obviously, the welfare-warfare state
would cost a lot of money, expenditures that would be easier to pay for
if the government could simply print the money. That’s why Roosevelt
and his statist cohorts decided to take everyone’s gold away and force
Americans to use irredeemable paper currency instead.
The Germans know full well that the U.S. government could do the
same thing again, especially if the right “crisis” came along, and that,
this time, the confiscation could extend to foreign countries that have
stored their gold with the Federal Reserve.
No one doubts, of course, that the U.S. government would do such
a thing to countries that are not considered to be loyal members of the
U.S. Empire, such as Iran and Venezuela, but would it really do such a
thing to Germany?
The problem is that one never
knows when a country will be
converted from friendly ally to
unfriendly enemy. In World War
II, the Soviet Union was a friend
and ally. Once the war was over,
the U.S. national-security state
quickly converted it to unfriendly
His Majesty Obama
and the debt ceiling
Part 2
by Wendy McElroy, fff.org
Executive authority and a competing Congress
Article 1, section 7 of the Constitution states, “All bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of
Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.” (Emphasis added.)
The House’s monopoly on raising revenue was intended to be a powerful brake upon the executive. The president
can sign executive orders and create executive agencies (like the Department of Education) with administrative
policies that regulate the minutiae of society. Without funding, however, the measures and agencies falter. Thus,
congressional control of revenue bills is one of the few remaining solid obstacles to the presidency becoming
monarchical.
Unfortunately, there is some legal grounding on which Obama could challenge the absolute authority of Congress
over revenue bills. Section 4 of the Fourteenth Amendment (1868) reads,
“The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of
pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the
United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion
against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and
claims shall be held illegal and void.”
This is a Reconstruction amendment; that is, it has a specific historical context. It was adopted in the wake
of the Civil War (1861-1865) in order to facilitate the reformation of the American South. Section 4 aimed at
guaranteeing Union loans while repudiating Confederate debt. Nevertheless, the United States Supreme Court later
ruled that the section’s language had broader application. In Perry v. U.S. (1935), the majority opinion stated, “While
[the Fourteenth Amendment] was undoubtedly inspired by the desire to put beyond question the obligations of the
government issued during the Civil War, its language indicates a broader connotation.” The court found it to be
“confirmatory of a fundamental principle which applies as well to the government bonds in question [in that 1935
case].”
Constitutional attorneys could, however, argue cogently against the presidential use of Section 4. For example,
they could point out that the section refers to honoring current debt, not to creating new debt. But during a national
emergency, when the president assumes extraordinary powers, Obama’s chances of success will be enhanced.
His chances are also enhanced by the current strategy being pursued by top Democrats. In stirring up public
debate, the Democrats are engaging in what is called “popular constitutionalism” or “democratic constitutionalism.”
Although that term is imprecisely defined, an essay entitled “Popular Constitutionalism and Relaxing the Dead
Hand: Can the People Be Trusted?” by law professor Todd E. Pettys offers a general sense:
A growing number of constitutional scholars are urging the nation to rethink its commitment to judicial supremacy.
Popular constitutionalists argue that the American people, not the courts, hold the ultimate authority to interpret the
Constitution’s many open-ended provisions whose meanings are reasonably contestable.

enemy status, setting the Cold War into motion. Iran was a friend when
the shah was in power. It is now an enemy of the Empire. Iraq was a
friend under Saddam and then became an enemy under Saddam.
While Germany became an ally after it had been an enemy in World
War II, there is no way to say with certainty that things will always
remain the same. What if Germany were to demand that all U.S. troops
leave Germany? What if Germany continues to grow more powerful
economically while the United States continues to head toward
economic bankruptcy? What happens if the Empire starts to see a
prosperous, militarized, independent Germany as a renewed threat to
world peace?
Then, all bets are off, and Germany knows that U.S. officials would
have no compunctions about using Germany’s gold as leverage to
impose its will on Germany. “If you want your gold, then do as we
say.”
What about Americans?
American remain just as much at risk of gold confiscation as anyone
else, if not more so.
As everyone knows, federal spending and borrowing continue
unabated, and the federal government’s debt continues to soar. If there
a drastic monetary crisis, like the one the Federal Reserve caused in
1929, and if federal officials desperately need money to fund their
welfare-warfare-state operations, make no mistake about it: they will
stop at nothing to get it. The two most likely sources of quick cash are
(1) by confiscating gold again and (2) by confiscating people’s 401(k)
retirement accounts, as Argentina did during its monetary crisis. Of
course, the government would give people paper notes and bonds in
return, as it did in the 1930s. Since U.S. officials would be running the
inflationary printing presses at full force during such a crisis, the notes
and bonds could be called “guaranteed instruments of confiscation.”
Thus, Americans would be wise to do what Germany is doing. Don’t
store your gold under the auspices of the U.S. government. Bring it
home and store it there.

Hawks defeat Rockwall for 1st district win
by Lary Bump
Rockwall-Heath’s players knew their first season in 5A boys’ basketball
would be even tougher than the first years of the school’s existence in
4A.
They didn’t know just how difficult it would be.
It took until the sixth game, halfway through the district schedule, for
RHHS to win a 12-5A game.
The Hawks shook off Rockwall midway through the first quarter Friday
night and went on to a 58-41 victory.
Relying on the inside play of Jaylen Veasley, RHS pulled even at 9-9.
That’s when Rockwall-Heath sophomore Colton Rashbrook took over.
He made 8 consecutive points, including two 3-point shots that led to
a 15-9 lead the Hawks didn’t lose again. They led 20-13 after the first
quarter, and outscored the Yellowjackets in every other quarter.
Rashbrook, who had totaled just 8 points in the previous two games,
finished with a game-high 18 points. Teammate Luke Ramirez added 13.
Leading Rockwall (10-15, 0-6) was the trio of Veasley, Skyler Simmons
and Aaron Maxwell with 12 apiece.
RHHS had entered district play with an 11-9 record, but had the
misfortune of running into 12-5A’s strongest, most experienced teams
right out of the box. It didn’t help that the Hawks played teams they
might have been able to beat – such as Tyler Lee, a 64-49 winner over
RHHS a week earlier – on their home court.
Then they saw a furious rally fall short in a 63-59 loss to North Mesquite
Tuesday, Jan. 15. The Stallions led 36-18 at halftime, so RHHS’ 24-15
fourth quarter wasn’t enough to win. In that game, Jackson Zivney scored
21 points, Tyler Zivney added 12 and Ramirez put in 10.
Rockwall, a 4A playoff team a year ago, expected to be among the 125A leaders this season. When the Jackets opened the season by winning
10 of their first 14 games, that still appeared to be possible. Since then,
though, their two leading scorers have transferred and RHS has lost 11
consecutive games.
Preceding the game at Rockwall-Heath, the Jackets fell behind Mesquite
Horn 18-9 after one quarter Jan. 15. Maxwell’s 21 points weren’t enough
in a 60-47 loss.

Undefeated Jackets win
2nd soccer tournament
by Lary Bump
Coming off one tournament championship, the Rockwall boys’ soccer
team had a reasonable expectation of winning its own tournament last
weekend.
It quickly became clear that Saturday’s two opponents weren’t about
to roll over against the Yellowjackets, who hadn’t allowed a goal in this
season’s first five games.

Lady Jackets drop out of district lead, but defeats Lady Hawks
by Lary Bump
Rockwall fell from a 9-point halftime lead and a first-place tie in District
12-5A to a 10-point loss and third place in a matter of 16 minutes of basketball
Tuesday, Jan. 15.
Mesquite Horn, one of three teams tied for the district lead entering that
night, held RHS to just 5 points and no field goals in the second half. The
Lady Jackets still led 29-25 entering the fourth quarter, but Horn scored the
first 10 points in the fourth quarter and outscored them 16-2 over the final
8 minutes.
On Friday, the Lady Jaguars took charge of the district race by defeating
Mesquite, the other team that had been tied for the 12-5A lead. Rockwall
bounced back that night for a tougher-than-expected 63-50 home victory
over Rockwall-Heath to pull into a tie for second with Mesquite.
After the game at Horn, RHS head coach Jill McDill said, “We played great
in the first half, about as good as we can play. We showed we can control the
boards even though they were 5 to 8 inches taller at every position. We had
five offensive rebounds.”
That was the first half, when the Lady Jackets totaled 14 rebounds. In the
second half, they managed just six.
The first sign that something was amiss came when the Lady Jaguars scored
the first 6 points of the second half, all on offensive rebounds. While they
were getting second shots, RHS was managing just five field goal attempts
in the third quarter and five more in the fourth.
McDill said, “We were trying to run our offense. We weren’t trying to stall.
We just didn’t score.
Yellowjackets soccer ...

In the inaugural RHS Invitational Tournament pool play, Plano John Paul
II broke the scoreless streak with two goals just before halftime and held a
2-1 lead with just 16 minutes to play. The Jackets (7-0) regrouped to put in
three goals for a 4-2 victory.
The opponent in the final match was Sulphur Springs, which won the
tournament’s other bracket. After allowing a first-half goal to Rockwall’s
Clayton Rittershaus on a rebound, the Wildcats had control of the ball for
most of the second half but couldn’t score. RHS goalie Andrew Caquelin
stopped three second-half shots for a 1-0 shutout.
RHS head coach Troy Williams explained why his defense has been so
successful.
“Several guys have been playing together for a while, and Jordan Story
has come in and helped us on the right side. Chris Estridge has been as solid
as can be. We’ve had a lot of competition at goalie. Andrew is our go-to guy
there at the moment.”
Rittershaus, who has scored five goals this season, was one of six Jackets
with a goal in a 6-0 victory over Dallas Kimball Thursday, Jan. 20. RHS
defeated Dallas Conrad 1-0 Friday, with Micah Day scoring the only goal.
In competition between the bracket runners-up for third place, RockwallHeath (5-3-1) defeated John Paul II. The Hawks had defeated Dallas Samuell
3-0 and lost 3-1 to both Sulphur Springs and Carrollton Newman Smith in
pool play.
Rockwall had opened the season by outscoring three opponents by a total
of 15-0 to repeat as champions of the Buffalo Wild Wings Tournament in
Denison. Andy Rojas scored four goals for the Jackets in that tournament.
“Their number 5 (Lauren Bradshaw) is a great shot blocker. When Sara
(Williamson) would drive past her defender, she’d have another person to
beat. And they never left Ellen (Baker) alone.”
Bradshaw also had a game-high nine rebounds and 8 points, all in the
second half. Williamson was the game’s high scorer with 11 points, but
3-point threat Baker totaled just 6.
Against Rockwall-Heath, the Lady Jackets (20-8 overall, 6-2 in the district)
took a 21-9 lead after the first quarter. Though they didn’t lose the advantage
as they had at Horn, they really couldn’t pull away from RHHS.
Williamson again was the game’s high scorer, with 29 points. For the Lady
Hawks (8-15, 1-7), Jacquelyn Turner used hot 3-point shooting for 14 points.
Katie Webster added 12.
RHHS had won its first 12-5A game on what turned out to be Black
Tuesday for Rockwall. Webster poured in 25 points as the Lady Hawks
defeated North Mesquite for the second time in three tries this season, 67-43.
Jordan Mitchell added 13 points.
Rockwall-Heath led by 11 points at halftime, and really took charge with a
24-6 third-quarter advantage.
