Chamber luncheon goes ‘up in the air’
with EagleMed medical transport service
along with EagleMed, who
sent down its medical transport plane from San Marcos,
but were unable to make it
due to inclement weather
making flying in by helicopter not feasible.
“Our aircraft can fly-in in
conditions that helicopters
can’t,” said Welch.
“Our fixed wing aircraft
can come in and serve your
community with inclement
weather conditions, so you
don’t have a loved one sick
or injured in the hospital and
not be able to get them out.”
Palacios’ Dr. Gustavo
Gross left a good impression
on Welch,
“It was exciting to meet Dr.
Gross and see the dedication
he has to providing high quality patient care to the citizens
of Palacios and surrounding
area.”
Welch added, “You don’t
find someone with that kind
of drive and commitment to
the community and that’s a
great and exciting thing for
Palacios.”
While EagleMed’s closest
facility to Palacios is currently San Marcos, Welch noted
a new base of EagleMed operations will be opening in
Houston in March of 2014.
The new base will provide helicopter or fixed wing

Barney Gulley reported
that 2013’s Seaside Holiday

‘pretty good’, albeit with
just about half of the normal
crowd out due to the downright chilly temperatures.
Smith offered a big ‘thank

helped take down the decorations the previous weekend.
Keeping with the big ‘thank
you’, Gulley made sure to
publicly thank Gene Eggemeyer, Joe Kana and Gary
Hafernick as well as several
city employees for their help
taking down the big lighted
Christmas tree along the bay

of the City of Palacios.
In order for the issue
to be placed on the local
election ballot, a petition
with a total of 250 signatures of voters who reside
within the Palacios city
limits, must be submitted
by next Saturday (Jan.
24).
If the signatures are
obtained before the deadline, the City would then
put the issue of whether
to legalize the sale of
mixed drinks in the City
of Palacios on the ballot
in May for City voters to
decide whether they are
for or against the proposed issue.
The last time an issue
dealing with alcohol was
put to a vote before City
by the Sea voters was
in 1941, when the issue
was whether they were
in favor of sale of ‘all alcoholic beverages’. The
measure was approved by
a 408-173 margin. However, because ‘mixed
drinks’ weren’t sold at
that time, the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) has taken
the position that if there
is a want to sell mixed
drinks in the City of Palacios the issue has to be
put before the voters.

First female Detective for Wharton PD
WHARTON: Wharton Police Department has promoted
their first ever female detective, Donna Guanajuato, 37,
from patrol officer to sergeant in the Criminal Investigations
Division (CID). “I’m excited and I like new challenges,”
said Guanajuato. The process all applicants, including
Guanajuato, consisted of testing and then going through
a lengthy interview process. According to Captain
Richard Coleman, Guanajuato was an easy choice for
CID. Also according to Coleman, Guanajuato “Will help
us tremendously” by bringing insight to her duties and
particularly will provide ease and comfort to female victims.
“It’s a lot different and there’s a lot more responsibility,”
Coleman noted. –Wharton Journal Spectator
Preservation efforts paying off in Port A
PORT ARANSAS: The Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department and groups such as the Audubon Society
consider some birds as ‘species of concern’and preservations
efforts initiated in 2008 are doing just that; preserving these
species. The Port Aransas Nature Preserve, a 1,200 acre
area and specifically an area known as Charlie’s Pasture,
state owned land between Port Street and the Corpus Christi
Ship Channel, Piper Channel and State Hwy. 361 is seeing
significant nesting increases. Approximately $2-million
in city certificates of obligation created trails, boardwalks
and observation towers with a pavilion and barriers to
protect the interior of the preserve. According to a study
produced by the Coastal Bend Bays and Estuaries Program
researchers found: 10 nesting attempts by Wilson’s plovers,
6 nesting attempts 10 years ago; 13 nesting attempts by
snowy plovers, none 10 years ago; and least tern nesting
found 116 nesting attempts, and minimal if any at all 10
years ago. –Port Aransas South Jetty
SWAT team in standoff
NAVASOTA: A Special Weapons and Tactics Team
(SWAT), the Department of Public Safety and the Grimes
County Sheriff’s Office were all called into a family
violence incident that led to a 2.5-hour standoff. Assistance
was needed with an alleged family violence incident that
resulted in rounds being fired at law enforcement and the
arrest of Kenneth James Griggs, 30, of Navasota. “Upon
arrival, they (officers) were met by Mr. Griggs, who officers
determined to be intoxicated, and proceeded to investigate
the claim made by Ms. Davis. Mr. Griggs refused admittance
to the home by closing the door on officers and as officers
attempted to get Griggs to come outside to speak with them,
he proceeded to fire a shotgun inside the home,” City of
Navasota Marketing and Communications Director Corey
Johnson. – The Navasota Examiner
Sealy’s Port City Stockyards is no more
SEALY: A longstanding company, the Port City
Stockyards Company, founded in 1931 has been sold to
Gekabi, Ltd of the Woodlands. Billionaire businessman and
owner George H. Bishop of Gekabi, Ltd is also the founder
and chief executive of GeoSouthern Energy Corporation.
The significant decline in the cattle population has made the
livestock auction yard obsolete. “We felt the property was
becoming more valuable as a development property,” said
J.D. Sartwelle Jr. Port City Stockyards Company president
and also third generation owner. The last auction, according
to Sartwelle was on Dec. 18, 2009. - The Sealy News
Three arrested in stabbing murder
EL CAMPO: Daniel Martinez Hernandez, 27, was

were arrested for his murder. This is an ongoing case,
according to El Campo Police Chief Terry Stanphill, the
three arrestees were: Marvin Reynaldo Privado-Deleon,
Natalio Leivo, and Angel Gorgonio Alvarado and were each
charged with murder. “It was a stabbing,” said Wharton
County District Attorney Ross Kurtz. It was not reported
if the murder weapon was recovered. “The team did a
great job, working extremely hard and did not go home
until the suspects were in custody,” Stanphill said. –El

There have been several
people come to my

property they have had
stolen, after learning about
some burglaries that were
committed recently. This
needs to be reported as soon
as you find it missing. If we
don’t know about during
our investigations, we won’t know to look
for it while we are working on other cases.
It seems to be that our recent burglars are
looking for flat screen TVs. If you have one
in your house, it might be a good idea to keep
it where it can’t be seen from the window.

Renovations are underway at
the Palacios Community HUB
(HUB) located at 205 4th St.
between Ace Hardware and
the Palacios VFD Fire Station.
This facelift, so to speak,
is made possible by donors
within the community and
even as far as New Braunfels
who believe in the mission of
the HUB and the availability
for all individuals to participate
in activities at the HUB in the
near future.
Renovations will continue
as donors continue to actively
participate in the opening of
the HUB. Specifically the
doors will open as soon as
these renovations are mostly
complete. A ‘Grand Opening,’
with official ribbon cutting and
open invitation to the public to
view the new facility will be
announced in the near future.
The mission of the HUB is to
‘Strengthen Families through
Literacy and Community
Service,’ and addressing
all aspects of literacy is
the overall goal. Literacy
exceeds the ability to read
proficiently the HUB will
address: workforce literacy,
community information,
health literacy, early childhood
education services, free legal
aid quarterly, tutoring for
GED/ESL students, and family
oriented recreational activities.

Nate McDonald announces run for Spring substitute orientation for Palacios ISD
re-election as Matagorda Co. Judge
Friday at Admininstration Building
[Nate McDonald has authorized
the Palacios Beacon to publish
the following paid political announcement concerning his candidacy for Matagorda Co. Judge
in the Nov. 4 election.]
Nate McDonald has filed
to seek reelection to a third
term as County Judge for
Matagorda County. "With
Matagorda County now
working together in an unprecedented fashion and new
career opportunities being
created everyday, we have
the momentum and capacity
to do great things for our citizens," states McDonald. We
have weathered one of the
worst economic downturns
in the history of our country
and continue to maintain one
of the lowest tax rates in the
State. Our business community is now poised to take advantage of the influx of new
dollars into our market and
we continue to recruit and
site the retail, service and entertainment venues that our
citizens ask for. Our economic development team has
brought new career opportunities to Matagorda County,
as represented by Chemicals,
Inc., Tres Palacios Gas Storage, Century Refiners, Dunn
Heat Exchangers and Tenaris
Bay City to name a few. It is
also important to note that the
South Texas Project, Oxea
and other valuable, long
term partners for Matagorda
County are undergoing expansion and improvement
projects, thereby committing
to the long term health of our
workforce.
In now serving as Vice
Chairman of the Houston
Galveston Area Council
(HGAC) Board of Directors, I keep a close eye on the
funding that becomes available in our thirteen county
region. To that end, we have
been awarded over sixteen
million dollars in Hurricane
Ike disaster recovery funding
that has been used to harden
and repair the coastal areas of
our county. We also continue
to receive grants that benefit
our Crisis Center, District Attorney's office and Boys and

Girls Club, among others.
We were fortunate to prevail in arguing our county's
case for continuing attainment status for air quality in
2012 versus the EPA, which
has had much benefit for our
citizens and industry.
We are now in the midst of
a fight for our water future.
"The LCRA has abandoned
the fair, equitable and reasonable approach to water
management and caved in to
the political pressure being
exerted by high placed politicians in the Highland Lakes
region," says McDonald. Conversly, we advocate basin wide management practices and will make that case
wherever needed, so that we
gain equal consideration.
In closing, I want to thank
each Matagorda County
citizen for allowing me to
serve and assure you that I
am completely committed to
continuing the progress now
being made. Furthermore,
I look forward to the March
4, 2014, primary election
and November 4, 2014, general election and humbly ask
for your support in my bid
to continue serving as your
County Judge. Become an Aviation Mechanic.

Palacios ISD and students,
Our family would like to send our thanks for the wonderful memorial held in
honor of our loved one, Coach Arredondo.
Words cannot express the gratitude, pride, and honor we felt being at your school
and listening to stories about how she touched each of your lives. She was not a
boaster about her own accolades but the reality is she was a very special teacher
and coach. You are proof of this. The love and respect we felt when each of you recalled how she changed your lives spoke in volumes. It is still unbelievable that she
has left us so soon and we, too, believe she had unfinished business. But, the Lord
had a different plan for her.
Please accept our gratitude for being there for her funeral and sharing a final
farewell with us. You have made a difficult time much easier knowing she had so
many prayers and well-wishers. Thank you for your kind words to our family
while we were in Palacios visiting. Your hospitality will not be forgotten.
Sincerely, Coach Dondo’s family
Substitute orientation will be held on Friday (Jan. 17) from 9 a.m.-12-noon in the
PISD Administration building. All persons

If you are interested in substituting for Palacios ISD, you must attend this training.
After the orientation, those interested in
substituting will have an opportunity to vis-
it each campus and speak with the campus
administrators. If you have not completed
an online application, you will need to go
to http://www.palaciosisd.org and complete
the application for substitutes and then complete and submit the criminal history form.
If you have any questions, please contact
Martha McEntire or Lynne Mumme, Director of Human Resources 361-972-5491.

East Side 4th graders donate to VFW
The East Side Veteran’s Day ceremonies undoubtedly had a big impact on the 4th grade
students. They, overwhelmingly, voted to dedicate the funds collected during the 2nd six
weeks to the Palacios VFW. Mr. Gus Valcik , of the Palacios VFW, is pictured with the
students who participated in the 6 auctions from which the funds were collected. The $125
donation from East Side Bay will be doubled dollar for dollar through a matching grant.
These students created, produced, and managed the auction sale of 6 donated items. An
“infomercial” video was electronically sent to all East Side staff, who are then able to
bid repeatedly until the close of bidding on each Friday. East Side Bay kids are planning
another donation at the end of the 3rd six weeks.
The annual Matagorda
County scholarship fundraiser, ‘Maroon & Orange Affair’
will be held at 6 p.m., Feb. 6
at The Fat Grass Restaurant
in Bay City.
The area alumni of Texas
A&M University and The
University of Texas put aside
their fierce rivalry each year
to join forces to raise scholarship funds to both universities that benefit local youth in
Matagorda County.
Guests will be served a
4-course meal prepared by
the chef at Fat Grass Restaurant. Each table will have
their own Aggie or Longhorn
waiter. At the end of the night,
the waiters will pool their
tips. Whichever team collects
the most money will fly their
flag over Bay City’s City Hall
for a week! A live auction is
also a featured event. Sponsorships are available.

PJHS collecting
Lowe’s receipts
Palacios Junior High
School is once again
collecting Lowe’s (Super S) receipts dated between August 17, 2013
– March 31, 2014. The
school will earn free
educational equipment
by collecting register receipts from Lowe’s.
The PJHS Art Students participated in a school-wide interdisciplinary unit based on the book Dark Water Rising about
the Galveston Hurricane of 1900.
The students drew their hands and different background
areas to represent people celebrating their differences. They
drew a joining blue ribbon to represent people banding together when there is a tragic event like The Great Storm of
Galveston in 1900. The blue in the ribbon represents the unity
in rebuilding their lives after a natural disaster.
The art show opened Monday at the Administration foyer
and will be on display until the end of January.

PISD recognizes Trustees for
School Board Recognition Month
January is School Board Recognition
Month and Palacios ISD is joining other
districts across the state to thank these community volunteers for their commitment
and contributions to our public schools.
“School board members serve countless
hours working to make public education
the best it can be for every child,” said Superintendent Vicki Adams. In a climate of
change and challenge, they develop policies and make tough decisions on complex
educational and social issues that affect
the entire community and the lives of individual students. They bear responsibility
and oversight in Palacios ISD for an annual
budget of $15.4 million, 1500 students in
grades PK – 12, more than 240 employees
and 4 campuses.
Preparing today’s students to be productive citizens and the leaders of tomorrow
is a tremendous task. As elected officials,
school board members are the voice of their
communities, serving first and foremost in
the best interest of our schoolchildren,”
said Adams.
The men and women serving Palacios
ISD and their years of service are Cara
Herlin, 35 years; Steve Stuhrenberg, 19
years; Rick Cink, 16 years; Patty Frankson,
10 years; Peter Zamarripa, 8 years; Greg
Hunter, 1 year and Donna Brune, 7 months.
“We proudly salute these education advocates as they provide vision and leadership for student achievement, academic
programs, district funding, and school facilities. Their service ensures that decisions
about local public schools are made by
those most familiar with the needs of our
community’s children and families,” said
Superintendent Adams. “These dedicated
individuals deserve recognition and thanks
for their unfailing commitment to the continuing success of our students now and in
the future.”
Mayor John Sardelich has again proclaimed January as School Board Recognition Month and each Palacios campus will
recognize Board members this month for
all their hard work. Palacios ISD is a Met
Standard school district receiving Distinction Designations at all 4 campuses.
Adams said, “Great leadership always
begins with a willing heart, a positive attitude, and a desire to make a difference.
Please join us as we applaud these local
leaders for truly caring about our kids.”

Seaman-Garcia wed in Mexico
Tiffany Leanne Seaman & Joe Garcia Jr. were married
on November 1, 2013 in Riviera Maya, Mexico. Tiffany
is the daughter of Becky Seaman Garcia and the late Roy
Seaman, and Joe Garcia Jr. is the son of Joe & Carol Garcia,
all of Palacios.
The wedding was held at Secrets Maroma Beach in
Riviera Maya, Mexico. The ceremony was performed on
the beautiful Maroma Beach, followed by an enjoyable,
fun-filled reception, dinner and dance. Approximately
90 close family members and friends were in Mexico to
celebrate with the lovely couple.
Given in marriage by her grandfather, James Milam
Sr., the bride was attended by sisters, Daphni Bowers and
Brittany Pena, and best friends, Emily McGlothlin, Brooke
Herbst and Haley Garcia. Groomsmen were Nicolas Arab,
Mark Bier, Bryan Blasingame and Jasper Garcia Jr., all
great friends of the groom; and brother, Benjamin Garcia. James Hanger and Greg Brevik served as ushers.
The bride graduated from Texas A&M University and
works for a national accounting firm. Joe graduated from
the University of Texas with his doctorate of pharmacy, and
is a Pharmacist. The couple currently resides in Austin, TX.

Members were treated to a
program presented by Barbara Curtis, Betty Scurlock, and
Charlotte Tucker on the 26th
First Lady, Helen Herron Taft,
wife of President William
Howard Taft. We learned that
Helen, also known as “Nellie”, was an outgoing woman
who pushed and prodded her
husband into the Presidency.
She had attended a White
House affair as a teenager,
and was most impressed with
the pomp and circumstance.
She declared that she would
marry someone who would
be President someday. That
day arrived in 1909, after
Teddy Roosevelt threw his
support behind Taft. We can
thank President Taft for the
implementation of the 16th
amendment, which gives the
government the right to collect taxes!

Taft was in her element in
the White House. She and the
President loved to entertain,
so there was constant social
activity at the White House;
they even celebrated their
25th wedding anniversary
during that time, said to be
the most elaborate occasion
of the administration.
She was involved in the
political life of her husband,
but she also fought for and
won legislation providing for
better working conditions for
factory workers. She is also
responsible for the planting
of the famous Cherry Blossom trees in Washington. In
fact, the tree she personally
planted is still there.
President Taft served one
term, and then returned to
Washington as the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in
1921. After his death in 1931,
Helen travelled extensively
all over the world. She died
in 1943 at the age of 81, and
is the first of two First Ladies
buried in Arlington National
Cemetery.

WILLIS WEBB
Guest Columnist
There are many reasons I
refer to my wife Julie as Life
Mate other than the obvious
reference to longevity of
cohabitation.
She is a very gifted writer and
recognizes the prerequisites
for inspired creativity. Ahem.
Plus, we have raised a son
some of whose prominent
proclivities are similar to those
of his Mom.
We’ve been in the retirement
mode now for six-plus years,
but 18 months ago, Life
Mate and Son “conspired”
to move us closer to him so,
as I half-kidding describe the
arrangements, he’ll only have
to drive 5-6 minutes instead
of a like number of hours in
order to put me in an “old
folks” home.
(Son’s in the real estate
binniss here and he’s a crackerjack. Cares about his clients.
His momma did us proud in
raising him).
Previous owner(s) of our
little bungalow, took a former
back patio and walled it in,
wisely installing nine windows
and a door, extending to a
new covered patio area, and
adding another open “slabbed”
spot. The enclosed patio we
rehabbed into my “man cave”/
work area.
When duty calls, I’m tabbed
for physical skills such as
moving the cooker/barbecue
grill out onto the open slab
spot in good weather or, if
this region’s “liquid sunshine”
dictates, under the covered
area, where I hold forth as
the chief meat-turner a la
my “specially-purchased,”
outsized grill tool set.
But, I digress. Back to
my “man cave” and its
functionality (that’s a good life
style-decorator term, isn’t it?).
The aforementioned
windows, venetian-blind
covered, provide lots of
light for tasking at the Apple
MacIntosh (I’ve always been
a “Mac Man”). There are
a couple of file cabinets in
the Man Cave and two such
drawers in this heavy, custombuilt thing I call a desk.
There are three bookcases/
shelves making room for some
of our books and a flat screen
TV where Son and I can watch
sports. If the noise bothers
Life Mate, she can close the
LYNN
sliding door and wall us off
as we dissolve into man-cave
antics, while she watches some
weepy movie. Ick!
Our reading interests are
fairly diverse and the shelves
reflect that. Mysteries are
prominent mixed with some
historical novels, biographies
and even some old Will Rogers
offerings. Humor is a daily
“fix” need in our household
and that’s reflected as well in
the book case display.
Of course, there’s a special
section for my hero and friend,
Leon Hale, whose 11 books are
proudly displayed. However,
one task remains for that
segment. A few of his books
are unsigned, so a special trip
to Leon’s country place is in
the offing.
Pride comes into play in such
a room as the Man Cave.
Awards are the principal
feelings-on-the-sleeve (wall
in this case) of the Man Cave.
Over more than half a century
in newspaper editing and
publishing, awards gratefully
came with some regularity.
Most of them were left at
various newspapers where I
made stops, so they could be
displayed to reflect the overall
staff and company effort it
takes to produce a quality
product.
There’s a miniature statue of
a newsboy holding up a paper
while selling it on the street.
The full-size sculpture adorns
the entry to the Texas Press
Association building in Austin.
The replica was presented at
my retirement. Of course, my
signature sojourn on country
newspapers was the final 16
years at The Jasper Newsboy.
Another memento is a glassdomed display of a gold
pocket watch hanging from a
post, a special version of the
traditional retirement gift from
a former supervisor and friend.
(I’ve long carried a pocket
watch since precious metals
create a rash on my wrist).
Some of the plaques that
decorate the wall are personal
awards but, fittingly, the
final active years newspaper
contest awards hanging here
are products of an extremely
gifted writer, Life Mate, who
makes me very proud.
Finally, there is one small
plaque that reflects our
personal mantra of newspaper
service: “Public sentiment is
everything. With it nothing
can fail. Without it nothing
can succeed.” — Abraham
Lincoln

Lynn is a retired educator and businesswoman and was first
elected to the Palacios City Council in 1984. At the April 18,
1985 Council meeting Lynn was nominated by John Sardelich
(now Mayor of Palacios) and was appointed as Mayor Pro Tem.
Lynn was the first woman in Palacios to be elected Mayor
Pro Tem and served in this capacity until May 1987. Lynn also
served on the Board of Equalization Committee for the City
Council alongside Sardelich.
Alongside Man of the Year John Toellner, Lynn was selected
Chamber of Commerce Woman of the Year in 1985.
Additional terms re-elected to Council were in 1986 and 1988.
At age 75, Lynn resigned as councilwoman on April 24,
1989 to accept the appointment to the office of Justice of Peace
Precinct 3, an unexpired term by the Matagorda County Court
of Commissioners. At this time the Palacios Beacon recounts
Lynn expressing her tenure as councilwoman “As one of the
happiest times of my life.” Lynn resignation was in effect for
December 31, 1990.
Life of service continued for Lynn as she was sworn in on
November 18, 1993 to fill the vacancy of Vernon “Butch”
Bowers as Municipal Judge, position which he had held for 24
years. Lynn remained as Municipal Judge until 2001.
This past Tuesday night at the Palacios City Council meeting,
Mayor Sardelich will present Margaret McElrath Lynn and the
City with a Proclamation declaring Jan. 18th Margaret McElrath
Lynn Day in Palacios.

finished appearance. The contract work is complete, but additional back fill is needed to get the proper drainage to allow
water to drain out of areas and not remain where it can be
trapped behind the new bulkhead and cause future problems
from washing out areas that will require maintenance.” The
other commissioners agreed and will conduct a site visit before the next month’s meeting. A decision on what extent back
fill and elevation grade is required will be approved.

Inspector’s Report
Larry Lanfear, inspector for the district, also presented the
following report:
• Pavilion: There are several area lights and spot lights out
on the pavilion. I have renewed a request to America Electric

two photocell system in lieu of having each light on a separate
photocell.
• 1st Street Pier: There are 2 area lights out on the T head.
• Groins: There are 2 area lights out.
• River Road:Two cap boards are missing. Observed several
camp fire sites but no damage to the wall.
• East Bay Pier: One spot light is out.
• East Bay Boat Ramp: Inspected on low tide. Structure is in
good shape. We do have some silting between the south dock
and the breakwater.
• South Bay Boat Ramp: Inspected on the low tide. We have
one fender board that is loose. Depth of the channel looks
good. There is some silting at the end of the dock.
• Bay Front Walk: There is one AEP light that is burning
during the day.
The next regular meeting is scheduled for February 12, 2014
at 7 p.m. at the Matagorda County Navigation District #1’s

We have great news for science lovers; we will start
having a science club at 5 pm on Thursdays, beginning
January 16th. We are getting geared up and ready for
the Science Rocks trailer which will arrive July 8th
here at the library. We will be learning about all aspects of science, there will be guest speakers, and we
will also do some hands on experiments. This is open
to all elementary age children mainly 3rd through 7th
which is the age group the Science Rocks trailer will be
planning for. Home schoolers are welcome also.
Homework program has begun now that children are
back in school; we have several high school helpers
who will assist children with homework. If your child
is not already signed up come by the library for more
information.
The Story Hour program has also reconvened, Tuesdays at 10 o’clock, this week we read The Biggest Best
Snowman by Margery Cuyler. The children attempted
to make real miniature snowmen with Sonic ice, but
it didn’t work out as planned so we went back to the
drawing board. Plan B, the children all assembled their
own version of paper snowmen. Everyone attending
received a book from First Book Matagorda.

Sharks were blasted 79-39
by the Tigers.
“Goliad took advantage
of our turnovers and capitalized,” said Shark coach
Trent Weixelman.
“We do a really good job
on defense and limit teams
scoring in the half court set,
but turning it over in transition leads to easy layups for
opponents.”
Weixleman added, “The
good thing is the kids still
work extremely hard and
give 100% in every practice
and game and I’m proud of
their effort.”
Jackson Kelley had the
hot hand for the Sharks and

“We knew we had a tough
task going into the game.
They have a huge size advantage having a nearly 7-ft.
center and 6’-4” forward.
But our goal was to make us
better and not focus on AP.”
Thomas led the Sharks
with seven points. Schulman and Acosta each netted
six points in the loss. Justin
Filip, Shelby and Sides each
scored two points and Kelley
added one from the charity
stripe.

Sharkettes play ‘best game of
year’ in win over Aransas Pass
BY RYAN WEST
The roller coaster ride of
the hoops season is in full
swing for Palacios’ varsity
Sharkettes with a split in last
week’s action.

thers of Aransas Pass.
Sharkette coach Aaron
Wollam called it ‘the best
game we’ve played all year’.
“The kids got after it on
defense and shot the ball and
ran the floor well on offense,”
added Wollam.
“Hopefully this win will
give us a boost for the second
round (of district play).”
The Sharkettes staked out
a 23-17 halftime advantage
before erupting for a 22-point
third quarter that put the
game out of reach.
Palacios’ powerhouse in
the paint, Geneva Perez just
missed out on a triple double
with 20 points, 10 rebounds
and eight steals. Lila Filip
pumped in 11 points and tallied six assists, four steals
and four rebounds. Jennifer
Fort finished with 10 points
and four boards. Payton
Bates chimed in with seven
points, six rebounds and four
steals; Sydney Garcia registered seven points and three
rebounds and Sabrina Garcia
hit the hoop for five points
and grabbed three rebounds.
Earlier in the week, the
Sharkettes were bounced by
Goliad 51-42.
For Palacios, their undoing came in the first quarter
of play.
While the Lady Tigers
were off and running, the
Sharkettes were slow (to say
the least) out of the gates as
Goliad ran up a 21-4 advantage.
The point discrepancy
would prove costly, as the
Sharkettes closed out the final three quarters by outscoring Goliad 37-31.
“We had a terrible first
quarter,” said Wollam, “and
played great the last three
quarters, we just came up a
little short.”
“We managed to cut the
lead to five with a little over
four minutes left and again
had a tough time finding a
way to win. The kids fought

goal. Segova notched two shots on goal and
Breana Alvarez and Cruz Mancera each provided one shot on goal.

Lee in the opening round of play.

way to score points in the
fourth quarter and finish with
a win.”
