Cook team shares secrets
as barbecue kick-off nears
By Alex Mann
(806) 273-5611
With United Way’s
Kick-Off Cook-Off just
one week away, teams are
already making plans and
preparations to take home
the gold, while locals are
looking forward to sampling the best barbeque
Hutchinson County has to
offer. Despite the intense
competition, one local
team agreed to offer their
own take on the rivalry,
fun, and great food.
Though dozens of
cooks and barbeque connoisseurs will be on hand
to prepare the finest cuts
for locals to enjoy, Jesse
Shuffield, Co-Chair of the
event itself, and competing with the Xcel Energy
Cook Team, is still aiming
for first place like the rest
of his barbeque rivals. “Of
course we’re going to try,”
Jesse grins, “The cook
team we’ve assembled actually cooked in an event
back in August, so this
will be our third event this
year cooking together.”
While the standard categories are expected to be
competitive in their own
right, one in particular has
chefs taking notice. “One
of the categories is ‘other’
which is anything other
than the three categories.”
Jesse explains, “To give
you an idea, we’ve had
people do rattlesnake,
we’ve had people do
quail, lobster rolls, and
we’re not going to get that
extravagant on ours, but
we’ve got a pretty good
idea.” Though Jesse left
his team’s “other” submission as a surprise, he
was able to go into more
detail on their other entries. “We’re cooking beef
brisket, pork ribs, pulled
pork, and the “other” category, which will be the
first event. That starts at
11:00 a.m., then ribs will
be noon, pulled pork at
1:00 p.m. and brisket at
2:00 p.m.”

Howdy Neighbor Day
in Fritch will be held this
year on Saturday, September 19. Kicking off with a
parade at 10 a.m. travelling down Hoyne St. then
Broadway, the event will
continue with a festival in
city park. There are a lot
of different opportunities
for community members
to participate in this family friendly event, including entry into the parade
where cars, bicycles, tractors and others have a
chance to win one of three
cash prizes.
This is a true community event, which in past
years has been hosted by
the Fritch Area Chamber of Commerce. This
year, many citizens have
stepped up to the plate
along with the Vietnam

Chapter 404. The museum
will be sponsoring a car
show, and live entertainment will be coming from
Amarillo to the delight of
many citizens. “Howdy
Neighbor Day contines to

A man who has been
around the country in
the news business, has
taken over the duties of
publisher at the Borger
News-Herald.
Tom Hinde started
his duties with the
News-Herald on Sept.
1. He comes from
Tom Hinde, above
the state of Washington, where his last assignment was publisher
of the The Royal Register, and the TV Weekly
Entertainment Guide for South Grant and Kittitas Counties. Hinde is excited about the Borger
opportunity for two reasons. He’s trained a long
time to become a publisher. And his parents, both
of whom, are ailing, live in this state.
Hinde has visited Texas several times and finds
it to his liking. He has already spotted leisure and
recreational opportunities in which he plans to
engage.
Regarding the business climate in Borger and
Hutchinson County, he believes both will attract
new commerce and grow. He believes the NewsHerald needs to play a big role in that by making sure local news and local people are covered
first.
“Small town and small county papers need to
reflect their people and their activities,” Hinde
said. “They want to know their neighbors and
about their neighbors, and local sports are the
sports that matter.”
“Since Borger was founded in 1926, the NewsHerald has served as the best source for local
news, area events, happenings and the people and
businesses that make this area great,” Hinde added. “The News-Herald has served as the recorder
of the moving hand of history. It’s a powerful tradition the News-Herald will continue to deliver,
thanks to the efforts of the News-Herald’s fine
reporting staff.” See Publisher pg. 2

Windel Fraley
Windel Tracey Fraley,
72, passed away Thursday,
September 3, 2015.
Funeral service 1 pm
Tuesday, September 8,
2015 Minton Memorial
Chapel with Rev. Glenn
McCathryn, officiating.
Burial will follow in Llano
Cemetery under the direction of Minton Chatwell
Funeral Directors of Borger.
Windel was born November 15, 1942 in Long Beach,
California
to Verna (Adams) and Windel Fraley. He was a
member of Coulter Road Baptist Church. He never met
a stranger and would give his last penny to help if they
needed it. An avid sports fan he especially enjoyed tennis and basketball. He also enjoyed playing the guitar.
He is preceded in death by his parents; daughter,
Tama; brother, Kevin and brother-in-law, Darrell Phillips.
Survivors include his daughter, Tricia McCown and
her husband Jason of Borger; grandchildren, Dara and
Emery McCown; brothers, Cole Fraley and wife Tanya
of Amarillo, Kelly Fraley and wife Brenda of Borger,
Shawn Fraley and wife Tanya of Borger; sister, Dixie
Phillips of Amarillo; and a host of extended family.
Of course no self respecting competitor would offer
up any prized cooking secrets, but Jesse was willing to
part with a few tricks of the trade. “Things like our briskets we’ll smoke for 8 to 12 hours of course, depending on size.” Jesse describes, “We’ll rub them, and possibly inject them with something the day before to let
them marinate. The pork ribs of course will be rubbed
down, and we’re thinking about doing a brine, and brining them overnight. Our pulled pork will be marinated,
and injected with some green chili sauce then rubbed in
mustard. We’ll set up Friday at 3:00, and we’ll probably
start our fire on Saturday at two in the morning, some
people might do it different, it all depends on the cooker
you’ve got.”
Though the mouth-watering barbeque creations will
likely capture the imagination and taste-buds of visitors, the chefs themselves have their eyes set on victory.
“We’ve got twelve teams who’ve entered so far.” Jesse
says, “Most of them are local teams from the refineries,
carbon black plant, we’ve got a United team, and we’ve
got two City of Borger teams, one will have city council
members on it.” The competitive atmosphere is likely
due in large part to the eye catching prize money offered
to winners. “It’s very competitive, especially among the
city council teams.” Jesse says, “First place pays $750
per category, second place is $500, and third is $250.
Specialty Compressor made us these plaques for first
place, and it’s a flame with a number 1, and down below
it has the category you won. We made them so that they
can be spot welded to a cooker or trailer, which is an
awesome trophy.” While the cash prize is certainly an
incentive, Jesse feels that more simple motivations are
also at play. “A lot of it is just simple bragging rights in
the community, and I think that’s a big deal,” he says,
“We’re always looking for bigger and better things. The
community has been great, we’ve had 18 sponsors, so
we’ve been able to raise quite a bit of money, and it’s
amazing what the community is doing to kick off United Way.”
The event already has the town talking, and as more
and more people are looking forward to next weekend,
Jesse reflects on the cook-off’s real impact. “ I think
Borger’s needed something like this for a long time.”
He says, “I’m participating, and I’m definitely looking
forward to it, but the best part is getting the community
involved, and the camaraderie of it.”

Weekend Faith
Celebration of
Hope Crusade
The Pampa Area
churches have been
planning and working on a crusade called
Pampa Area Celebration of Hope Crusade.
The guest speaker for
the four-night event is
Rick Gage from Atlanta,
Georgia. Rick has done
several crusades in the
Texas Panhandle over
the past decade as well
as conducted crusades
around the nation. There
has been a great deal of
excitement among the
pastors and the church
In and Out?
So many we know
in Borger are no longer
faithful to God’s Word
and seem unable to meet
with the saints to worship as part of the family
of God. A young lady
(who had been sporadic
in attendance) once told a
church member that went
to visit her that, “I have
been in and out of the
church all my life.”
It was never God’s
plan or intention for anyone to be “in and out” of
the church. Believers in
Jesus, the Son of God, are
“baptized into Christ”-having “put on Christ”
(Gal. 3:27). While it is
true that the church is
the saved (Acts 2:47), it
is also true that the saved
may become lost (Matt.
18:12, 13; 1 Cor. 10:12;
Gal. 5:4). We have assurance of heaven as we
live faithful until death
(Rev. 2:10). God calls
us to “walk in the light”
(1 John 1:7) because that
is where the blood continually works to cleanse
us from our sins. Jesus
said, “By standing firm
you will gain life” (Luke
21:19). In other words,
don’t give up. Don’t
quit. You have made the
The Camp
Out
Several years ago I
went with several other adult leaders on an
overnight campout with
the youth from our local Church. It started
that afternoon with setting up camp, followed
by games and mountain
climbing. Later on we
had hamburgers cooked
over a wood fire. All of
that was topped off with
roasted marshmallows
as we sat the around the
campfire. The young

community about this
event. One thing that
has been happening in
the community is the
churches are uniting together in prayer, work
efforts, and support for
this crusade. Ed Sattesahn, the Chairman of
the Publicity Committee
adds, “as a pastor I can
sense a greater camaraderie among the pastors
involved. Our goal is
that this event will continue to have positive
results on people’s lives
and to bring “hope” to
their needs during and
after the crusade.” The
meetings will begin Sep-
tember 13-16 at 7:00
pm in the Pampa High
School Stadium.
On Wednesday evening, September 9th at
6:30 pm, there will be
a youth rally for all the
teen-agers at the M.K.
Brown Convention Center in Pampa. This rally
is two-fold to promote
the up-coming crusade,
the youth night during
the crusade, and to rally
together as the schools
here in Pampa will be
observing “See You at
the Pole” that morning.
Join us as we share the
love of God and hope for
people’s needs.
best choice in life, why
toy with God’s love?
How grateful are you
that God is not an “in
and out” God. Here one
day and gone the next.
What could we count on?
What kind of love would
that be? What would be
our state? When we are
“in and out” of church we
are telling others around
us, “I do not take my
faith seriously” or “My
commitment to God is
not important”. If only
those who are “in and
out of the church” would
read and seriously think
of the Scriptures that
teach about the love (1
John 4:9), grace (Rom.
3:25), mercy (Eph. 2:4; 1
Pet. 1:3), patience (Rom.
5:15), and faithfulness
of God (Rom. 8:39;),
maybe they would renew
their faith in God and
once again enjoy His fellowship, fellowshipping
with the saints who enjoy
the on-going cleansing
of Christ’s blood (1 John
1:7-9) and the enormous
peace that goes with it.
Jesus using parables,
speaks of the lost condition of the wandering
soul, the importance of
repentance and the joy
that other Christians ex-
perience when the lost
comes home (Luke 15:332).
You know it is better
to “keep yourselves in
the love of God, looking
for the mercy of our Lord
Jesus Christ to bring you
to eternal life” (Jude
1:21). God knows we are
not perfect (Rom. 3:23;
1 John 1:8,10). But he
expects consistency and
gratitude that we “may
be found of him in peace,
without spot, and blameless” (2 Pet. 3:14; 2 Tim.
2:15; Eph. 4:3). Anchor
your life. What reward is
it personally to be an “in
and out” christian (oxymoron?) Oh, to consider
what God has done for us
!!! Will you come home?
It is time to never give
up. Get back and stay in.
If you are out get back
in before it is too late (2
Thes. 2:10-12).
The elders at the
church of Christ at Borger pray that all of the lost
souls of Borger will seek
to find the forgiveness
and peace that are only
found in the Messiah
Jesus. We invite you to
study and worship with us
each Sunday at 10:00am.

the youth had prepared
everything we needed
for the outing. They even
brought extra bedding
for the ones that forgot
their sleeping bags. That
experience reminded me
of how God can and will
provide for us (Psalms
25:12, 13 &Nehemiah
9:15). That night some
of the boys didn’t want
to sleep in the tents but
during the night a storm
came up and they were
hurriedly gathering up
their bedding and trying to get in the big tent.
I realized that when we
are close to God we are
under His protection but
when we are outside in
the world and on our
own, we don’t have it
(Psalms 41:2 & 61:4).
Some of the youth chose
not to go on the campout
and they missed out on a
lot. We have the choice
of being close to God
or not. God especially
wants to provide us
with Spiritual blessings
like forgiveness of sins
and eternal life, (John
3:16). Being a Christian
can be as much fun as
a campout. See you in
Church next Sunday.

Main Street business
gets a face-lift
By Tabitha Fleming
(806) 273-5612
John Hanen opened
H & H Refractory at 109
South Main Street, knowing that the building would
need some work. Now,
that work has begun and
the building’s stucco is being repaired and redone.
There’s a lot of work to
do at the refractory too, so
progress on the face-lift
has to take place around
the other work of the business.
The Refractory Institute defines refractories
as “heat-resistant materials that constitute the linings for high-temperature
furnaces and reactors and
other units while withstanding physical wear
and corrosion by chemical
agents.”
Generally, refractories
are used to build structures
that survive very high
temperatures. This can be
in the form of something
simple and close to home
such as fireplace brick linings, or in larger industrial
applications such as carbon production or refinery
production.
At H&H Refractory a
lot of their work is for the
larger scale industrial applications although Hanen
said in the past he had created smaller work such as
kilns for ceramics or pottery.
Regardless of what they
are creating inside, Hanen
and his employees are definitely creating something
that can be seen from outside on Main Street.
Steve Carpenter was
hard at work preparing
for the new stucco early
Friday morning, as Hanen
explained, “I just want
it to look better,” he said
looking at the crumbling
stucco. “It’s been a little
difficult with all the work
we have going on, but it
will be worth it.”
Arguim expansion
project to last longer
than expected
By Tabitha Fleming
(806) 273-5611
Agrium announced that
the timeline for the Borger
nitrogen expansion project has been modified to
run through the end of
2016. The adjustment was
announced as part of the
second quarter earnings
report released by the corporation.
According the Gill
Craig, Borger Plant Manager, the project will no
longer include the planned
145,000 ton ammonia
expansion portion of the
project, but will still in-
clude the refresh of the
existing ammonia facility
as well as the 610,000 ton
urea facility.
Borger City Council
discussed this updated
timeline during their budgeting discussion at their
last regular meeting, September 2, 2015.
The council still expects
to realize the projected increased revenue from the
Agrium expansion and industrial water sales at the
end of 2016.

Opinion
5
By Alex Mann
(806) 273-5611
In 1620 the Mayflower set sail to America for a new
life. That life involved freedom. Freedom from a country
who controlled their every right. One of those freedoms
they sought out looking for is freedom of religion.
The first amendment gives us that right today. In1776
America gained its freedom from Great Britain and was
built on the belief of God. “In God we trust,” is found on
every bill; the Pledge of Allegiance says, “One nation
under God.” Yet prayer is being taken out of schools
and the Holy Bible can’t be found in school libraries all
over the nation.
All over the world Christians are being criticized for
their beliefs, but this country is said to have freedom
of religion. If it that’s true why are Christians condemned?
Many people expect Christians to be perfect; as if
they are above doing wrong. Yes, Christians do believe
in a man who died on a cross to wash them free of sin,
(an immoral act considered to be a transgression against
divine law.) The thing most non-Christians don’t understand is that a Christian is still human; still capable
of bad behavior.
Drugs, sex, alcohol, judgmental attitudes, are all
things some Christians can be found guilty of. Non-believers bully Christians on a daily basis every time they
mess up or make a mistake. If Christians are the one
judging people, why do so many other people go around
judging them?
Every human comes with a flaw, whether it’s having
an addiction or something that’s too shameful to admit
too. The only difference is a true Christian is willing
to admit that they have flaws. “Let he who is without
sin cast the first stone.” The man Christians say died on
the cross is the man who spoke these words. Christians
believe that no human being is perfect and it’s true. Everybody makes at least one mistake in their life, if not
more.
The first amendment states Religion and Expression.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment
of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or
abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the
right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. If the
government allows us those freedoms why do so many
others act as if there is no such thing?

And now introducing... Tabitha Fleming, Reporter
Tabitha Fleming
Staff Reporter
There’s more than
one story about there
about someone who was
travelling and found a
town where the people
were just so nice they
couldn’t leave. That’s
not exactly how I ended
up here in Borger but it’s
fairly close.
Originally
from
Colorado, I decided to
pack up my life and my
daughter to head for
Texas looking for a more
traditional place to raise
my daughter.
As my luck would have
it, my wallet was lost on
the way to Texas, and we
found ourselves in Borger
with no family, no friends,
and no money. No one
would have expected what
happened next, but thanks
to the kindness of many,
the helpful nature of many
others and the all around
good people in Borger I
can say life is looking up.
It’s been about a month
since we first arrived
in Borger, and now I’m
introducing myself as
your new staff reporter at
the Borger News-Herald.
I’m also asking for your
advice, your help, your
years of experience and
knowledge.
I’m new to town, and
new to Texas. This is a big
state, so I’ve got a lot to
learn.
You know I’ve already
met a lot of great people,
the local churches are
welcoming, and the schools
offer great opportunity.
I’ve already discovered
the bigger centipedes,
tarantulas, and scorpions
which have made my
friends back home cringe
and locals just chuckle
and say, “yep.”
I’ve already discovered
the beauty of Lake
Meredith and the fun
at Huber Park. More
importantly, I’ve already
gotten to experience the
kindness and compassion
of a group of people that
live in an area that I now
proudly call home.
So stop in, say hello,
and don’t be afraid to point
me in the right direction.
ment is often part of the
fun on-screen. But if the
same type of thing were to
happen with the ExportImport Bank, it wouldn’t
be very entertaining.
Wait, you may say,
didn’t Congress let the
bank expire recently?
Yes, it did. Ex-Im,
which provides taxpayerbacked loans, guarantees
and insurance to foreign
countries and companies
to pay for U.S. products,
expired on June 30.
That’s good news for
taxpayers and all the U.S.
firms that must compete
without such subsidies.
The expiration of this
poster child for crony capitalism was long overdue.
But like an unstaked
vampire, the bank may
be only “mostly dead.” It
could be revived, and soon,
if its vociferous defenders
have anything to say about
it. Efforts to reauthorize
the bank are underway on
Capitol Hill -- and finding
a sympathetic ear among
some lawmakers.
Fortunately, their claims
are easily refuted. Take
one of the most persistent ones, which concerns
Ex-Im’s beneficiaries. As
Rep. Robert Dold, R-Ill.,
put it: “If we shut down
the Export-Import Bank,
who loses? Our small
businesses.” The bank itself has asserted that 90
percent of its transactions
supported small businesses in 2014.
That figure is highly
misleading. An analysis
by The Heritage Founda-
tion found that small businesses benefit from less
than 20 percent of Ex-Im’s
actual financing.
And it’s worth noting
that Ex-Im’s definition of
“small” when it comes to
businesses is rather generous, encompassing companies with up to 1,500
workers or even $21.5
million in annual revenue.
Not exactly the “garage
start-up” or Mom-andPop operation that phrase
often brings to mind.
But it’s not surprising
that Ex-Im’s defenders are
trying to keep the public
focus on small businesses,
given the fact that most
of its clientele consists of
businesses that are clearly
quite large, such as Boeing ($60 billion), General
Electric ($6 billion), Bechtel Power Corp. ($4.6 billion), CBI Americas Inc.
($3.2 billion) and Exxon
Mobil ($3 billion).
“Boeing Capital posted
customer-finance assets
of $3.4 billion in the first
quarter of 2015,” writes
Ex-Im expert Diane Katz.
“Indeed, both Standard &
Poor’s and the Government Accountability Office effectively have concluded that Boeing, with
a market cap exceeding
$97 billion, would manage well without taxpayer
subsidies.”
And if it can’t, you have
to wonder what business it
has being in business.
I’m sure some of ExIm’s clients have become
dependent on this corporate welfare, and that it
would take some time to
wean themselves from it.
But many other companies manage to be financially successful without
tapping the taxpayer till.
Why can’t they?
They need it to compete, we’re told. But as
Katz notes, the number of
small businesses that export (and the value of their
exports) has grown significantly in recent years.
Between 1997 and 2007,
for example, the value of
exports per small and medium-size businesses increased by 80 percent, and
the number of these exporting firms grew by 30
percent, according to the
U.S. International Trade
Commission.
If they can do it without
Ex-Im, why can’t others?
Or is it that they can, but
they don’t want to?
Ex-Im’s backers may
tell us it’s essential, but
the Bank supports only 2
percent of U.S. exports.
This New Deal-era program has clearly outlived
its original purpose. The
question isn’t, “Should
we revive it?” The question is, “Why did it take so
long to bury it in the first
place?”
Years of working on
Capitol Hill have taught
me that there are no permanent victories or defeats.
All the more reason we
should make sure the job
is done right in this case -and keep Ex-Im from popping out of its coffin. A lot
of wasted taxpayer dollars
are at stake.

Top-of-mind awareness (TOMA) is defined this way:
"The first brand that comes to mind when a customer is asked an unprompted question about a category. The percentage of customers for
whom a given brand is top of mind can be measured."
TOMA has also been defined as "the percent of respondents who,
without prompting, name a specific brand or product first when
asked to list all the advertisements they recall seeing in a general
product category over the past 30 days."

Day, Spieth rolling in
opposite directions at TPC Boston
NORTON, Mass. (AP)
— Luke Donald took a
big step toward advancing to the next FedEx Cup
playoff event at his home
course in Chicago. Jason
Day took a small step toward No. 1 in the world.
As for Jordan Spieth?
He took another step in
the wrong direction with
his third straight round
over par.
Donald, who narrowly
qualified for the PGA
Tour's postseason, made
six birdies in blustery conditions for a 4-under 67
that gave him a share of
the lead with Colt Knost
among early starters Friday at the Deutsche Bank
Championship.
With three players having a chance to be No. 1
in the world ranking, Day
had the most promising
start. Coming off a six-shot
victory at The Barclays,
the 27-year-old Australian
opened with three straight
birdies and saved par on
his next hole at No. 14
with a 10-foot putt in the
heart of the cup.
Day reached 5 under
until two bogeys over his
last five holes gave him a
68, tied with Gary Woodland and Ryan Palmer.
The PGA champion
was in full flight, looking
comfortable and confident
as he goes for his fourth
win in his last five tournaments. Winning is required
for him to have any chance
to reach No. 1 in the world
for the first time.
Spieth lost the No.
1 ranking back to Rory
McIlroy when he missed
the cut at The Barclays.
He faces another short
week after a most peculiar
round of 75. It was bad
enough that Spieth did not
miss a fairway, except for
the reachable par-4 fourth
hole where he hit it into a
good spot in the front bunker.
It was his level of irritation.
He was muttering as he
left the 11th green with a
hard-earned bogey from a
buried lie in the lip of the
bunker. He slammed his
bag and looked disgusted
over most of his shot. And
it was only the opening
round.
Spieth missed a 5-foot
par putt on his 17th hole
that never touched the
cup, and even after missing a 20-foot birdie putt
on his last hole, he had
to concentrate over the
comeback par putt from
4 feet. Combined with
last week, it was his third
straight round over par,
the first time that has happened since June 2014.
Spieth left the TPC
Boston without speaking
to reporters.
McIlroy, playing two
groups ahead of Spieth
and Day, was within one
shot of the lead until he
dropped two shots coming
in and had a 70.
Donald moved up 32
spots to No. 87 in the FedEx Cup, and only the top
70 advance to the BMW
Championship in two
weeks at Conway Farms,
where Donald is a member. He was a long shot
starting these playoffs.
He's looking better each
day.
"I would love to continue," Donald said. "But
first things first. I've got to
get to Conway Farms."
Donald said it was tough
to make birdies, and those
are words rarely spoken
on glorious days such as
this one at the TPC Boston. A front came through
that made temperatures
pleasant, though the wind
was strong at times in the
morning and a few pins
were on knobs.
Phil Mickelson, in dire
need of a big week to bolster any chance of being
picked for the Presidents
Cup, had a pair of threeputt bogeys and shot 70.
“It was the most challenging I’ve seen this golf
course play, especially
given that the greens were
very receptive,” Mickelson said. “But I played
pretty good golf today. I
hit a lot of good shots and
I hit a few bad ones, but
they weren’t too bad. And
it was an OK start.”
Day looked like he
might birdie them all after
three holes. Ultimately, he
knew that 68 was a decent
start.
He stuffed his approach
on No. 10 to 4 feet. He
hit a towering 4-iron to
10 feet for birdie on the
par-3 11th. He rolled in a
20-foot birdie on No. 12.
And when his birdie putt
caught the lip on No. 15,
Day flipped his putter into
the air in shock. He must
have felt he was going to
make them all.

The Borger Bulldogs travelled to Dalhart
tonight to take on the Golden Wolves. The
Bulldogs dominated a penalty filled game,
where as Dalhart had 18 penalties in the game
crippling their drives.
Dalhart got the ball first going three-andout punting to Borger. Borger quarterback
Bryce Day started the Bulldogs first possession with a short quarterback keeper, and then
running back JyUius Bumpus broke a 16 yard
run setting up Borger with great field position. However, running back Jamarius Grimes
would lose the handle on his first carry of the
game fumbling the ball back to Dalhart. Dalhart would get their workhorse running back
Conner Smith going on the second drive with
12 yards on the ground. Dalhart quarterback
Jessie Lujan then threw an interception to
Borger linebacker Miguel Rangel shifting the
momentum. Borger couldn’t take advantage
of the Dalhart turnover, and ended up turning
the ball over on downs deep in Dalhart territory. Dalhart would gain a first down, and
looked to be on their way down the field, but

quarterback Jessie Lujan threw another interception, this time to Dontae Chambers. The
first fireworks of the game would come when
Bryce Day found Eaya Lewis down the sideline for a 67 yard pass down to the one-yard
line. Bryce Day would punch in the one-yard
score, and with the extra point the Bulldogs
led after the first quarter 7-0.
Dalhart would again turn to running back
Conner Smith in the second quarter to get
things going. Smith piled up 67 yards through
the second quarter, but Dalhart committed untimely penalties stalling their drives.
Borger quarterback Bryce Day already had
105 yards through the air early in the second
quarter. Dalhart would begin to stack the line
to shut down running back JyUius Bumpus
in the second quarter. This would backfire
as Bryce Day would find a streaking Marlon
Jones for a 60 yard touchdown, and after the
extra point was blocked the Bulldogs had a
13-0 lead.
Dalhart couldn’t muster any offense late
in the second quarter giving the ball back to
Borger for another chance to add to the lead.
Borger appeared to score another touchdown
at the very end of the half, but it was called

LUBBOCK,
Texas
(AP) — Texas Tech coach
Kliff Kingsbury has told
one of his quarterbacks
he'll start Saturday when
the Red Raiders play Sam
Houston State.
But fans won't learn
if it's sophomore Patrick
Mahomes or junior Davis
Webb until one of them
jogs out to take the first
snap against the Bearkats,
a Football Championship
Subdivision team that
shared the Southland Conference title last season.
Kingsbury said the
starter for the program's
1,000th game is the one
who's best for the team
now.
"We listed them as 'or'
because we do feel like we
have two starters and two
guys that can win games
and two guys that deserve
to be the starter," the thirdyear coach said. "But we
can only play one, so we'll
play one and see how it
goes."
The Red Raiders are
looking for a win to start a
possible rebound from last
season when they finished
4-8 and won just two Big
12 games, their fewest
since the conference began in 1996.
Sam Houston State,
which finished 11-5 last
season and lost in the
semifinal to eventually
FCS winner North Dakota
State — for the third time
in four seasons — returns
19 starters. Bearkats coach
K.C. Keeler said he, too,
isn't naming who will start
at quarterback — junior
Jared Johnson, who was
the starter all last season,
or sophomore Jeremiah
Briscoe, a transfer for
UAB.
"This is probably about
as deep a team as I've
had," he said. "If we play
well we have a shot."
Texas Tech is eager to
show off its defense under
its eighth defensive coordinator since 2007. David Gibbs led Houston's
defense to back-to-back
top 25 finishes nationally
in turnovers. He coached
nine years in the NFL before moving to Houston
for two seasons.
"We'll do some good
things, we'll do some
knucklehead things, and
we'll grow from it," Gibbs
said of his squad's first
game under his guidance.
Here are some things
to watch for when Texas
Tech hosts Sam Houston
State:
CAN TEXAS TECH
STOP THE RUSH?: Texas Tech allowed about 260
yards rushing per game
last season to finish near
the bottom nationally. The
Bearkats will be a good
first test after they led the
conference in rushing last
season, averaging about
250 yards per game. Sam
Houston State's up-tempo
offense will be a challenge
for the Red Raiders. "I just
think they're a different
team than they were last
year on the defensive side
of the ball," Keeler said.
"There's a new attitude."
BIG STAGE FOR
BEARKATS: Sam Houston State likely won't be
wowed by the Lubbock
crowd, where the capacity is about 60,000. Last
year they traveled to LSU
where they played in front
100,000-plus fans in a
loss. Sam Houston State
is 29-3 against FBS teams
since 2000.
UP-TEMPO OFFENSES: Keeler says he thinks
there will be as many as
250 snaps in the game,
which will be played in
the afternoon in hot West
Texas. "I think we'll rotate
more guys in there, so regardless of who is starting everybody's going to
play," Gibbs said. "I think
you have to early in the
season, especially against
these spread offenses who
go so fast. But it's going
to be a challenge."
