Palacios Pet Pals was established in 2003 to help
unwanted, neglected, abused
or abandoned animals. The
facility, located on Buffaloe
Rd, is in need of repairs, and
Debbie Murray and Tammy
Flores are in need of help,
whether it’s repairing cages
and fences or caring for the
dogs and cats at the shelter.
While all the food for the
animals is supplied by the
Food Bank of Houston, the
blood, sweat and tears of running the shelter on a daily
basis comes from Debbie and
Tammy, supported only by donations, because “any kind of

At long last, new Pavilion breaks ground
BY ALAN C. SCHULMAN
“A community social hub,
educational facility and event
center” is the description used
by Palacios Pavilion Committee President Joe Kana at
last Thursday’s groundbreaking ceremony for the new Pavilion.
Kana spoke of the long
history and many incarnations of the Pavilion, from
its construction in 1904 to its
destruction in 1961 by Hurricane Carla, and its open-air
condition afterwards.
Judge Nate McDonald proclaimed that “we’re just about
to turn the page on a new era
in history in Palacios, TX.
Mayor Sardelich said “this
site really has significance for
me.” He continued, saying
“as a 13 and 14 year old boy,
right here, we had the largest
bait stand that there ever was
in Palacios, TX.” The Mayor
then introduced his 4th grade
art teacher, Margaret Lynn,
who is nearly 102 years old.
Others who shared their
memories of the Pavilion
included Sue Stacy, who recalled the big band performances by bandleaders such
as Harry James and Artie

J.D. Kennedy, District
Manager for Congressman
Blake Farenthold’s office,
was the speaker at last Thursday’s Chamber of Commerce
general membership meeting.
Kennedy, a former Marine
who served three tours in
Iraq, sharesd a great interest
in Veterans’ affairs with Congressman Farenthold, and encouraged anyone having difficulties with the VA, or any
other federal agency, to contact his office for assistance.
Dr. Gus Gross asked Mr.
Kennedy if he could interrupt, and proceeded to tell a
story of how Mr. Kennedy’s
staff had helped the Dr.’s
office with reimbursement
from the VA for the treatment
of a veteran who came in
with a life or death emergency. Dr. Gross stated that, “We
tried getting reimbursed for
that for over seven or eight

Negotiating affordable housing in Port A
PORT ARANSAS: The Port Aransas City Council is
on board with the idea of pursuing a deal to create affordable workforce housing on land along State Hwy. 361. At
the request of Mayor Keith McMullin, the council gave
City Manager Dave Parsons a directive to renegotiate
a city lease from the Texas General Land Office to allow for construction of apartments on the property. Because the apartments would be on city-leased land, the
city could require that the apartments be available only
to full-time Port Aransas residents renting on a long-term
basis and that those residents not have incomes above a
certain level. The city would also want to have some control over the rent to make sure it’s affordable for folks of
modest means. - Port Aransas South Jetty

LCRA awards $25,000 grant towards Pavilion
PALACIOS, Texas — The City of Palacios will be able to replace a hurricane-ravaged seaside pavilion, thanks in part to
a $25,000 community development grant from the Lower Colorado River Authority.
City officials will use the grant to build a 210-square-foot public restroom area as part of the new Palacios Coastal Educational Pavilion. The building replaces a landmark structure that stood for many years at the end of a pier stretching 400
feet into Matagorda Bay.
Originally called the Palacios Pleasure Pavilion, the structure was built in 1904 and proved a popular draw for locals and
visitors alike. Hurricanes in 1915, 1919, 1934 and 1961 damaged the pavilion and it was rebuilt twice. The most recent
version lost its roof in 2003 to Hurricane Claudette and was finally demolished in 2011.
The new pavilion will sit at a safer, land-based location, said David Kocurek, Palacios city manager.
“When people think of our city, that pavilion is one of the main destinations they remember,” Kocurek said. “Rebuilding it has been a long time coming, but we are able to do so now with the help of grants, including one from LCRA for the
downstairs restrooms. They will be a great addition.”
The grant will pay for men’s and women’s restrooms, as well as a storage area for cleaning supplies. In addition, the
funds will cover installation of low-flow toilets and sensor-activated, low-flow faucets to conserve water, as well as high
efficiency internal and external sensor-activated lighting.
The community grant is one of a number of grants recently awarded through LCRA's Community Development Partnership Program. The program provides economic development and community assistance grants to cities, counties, volunteer
fire departments, regional development councils and other nonprofit organizations in LCRA's electric and water service
areas. The program is part of LCRA's effort to give back to the communities it serves.
Applications for the next round of grants are due Jan. 31. More information is available at www.lcra.org/cdpp.
Commissioners approve win farm tax abatement
OCHILTREE COUNTY: The Ochiltree County Commissioners’ Court gave final approval for a seven year
decreasing tax abatement to Perryton Wind, LLC for a
second wind farm project for Ochiltree County. The wind
turbines, 71 of them, will be located on land to the east of
the previous wind project. The new wind project is just
in the beginning stage with the planning being done by
Apex Clean Energy of Chalottesville, VA. The abatement
begins with a 70 percent tax abatement in the first year,
a 65 percent abatement in the second year and a yearly
decrease of five percent until the seventh year, when the
abatement will be at 40 percent. - The Perryton Herald
Overpass work restarting in Louise
LOUISE: Repair work on the out-of-alignment FM
1160 overpass bridge was to resume at the end of October according to a Texas DOT spokesperson. No timeline
for completion was released. The primary access point
into the Louise community closed in March when segments shifted as Lone Star Construction crews attempted
to lift it about one foot. Since then, efforts to restart the
project have met a series of delays ranging from the need
for specialized jacks to weather. “Complications during
the lifting process required a re-evaluation of the bridge
lifting plan,” said TxDOT spokesperson Becky Ozuna.
Lonestar will not be doing the rest of the work. That company has hired a sub-contractor to complete the project.

Wintering Whooping Crane Update
by Wade Harrell, U.S. Whooping Crane Recovery Coordinator (November 11, 2015)
We reported earlier in September that the first whooping crane had arrived here on theTexas coast this fall. This
single adult bird was spotted by tour boat guides on 19 September on San Jose Island. Just this past week, we have
received several reports of whooping cranes still on the
staging grounds in the Saskatchewan prairies of Canada,
and a radio marked family group is still in Wood Buffalo
National Park. As of today, only 1 of 13 whooping cranes
with active radio transmitters has arrived here on the Texas coast. So, whooping cranes are currently spread out
across their range, all the way from their northern breeding
grounds to their southern wintering grounds. The mild fall
in the northern plains states appears to be contributing to
a delayed migration, our partners at the Northern Prairie
Research Center in North Dakota estimate that migration
of cranes and waterfowl is about 2 weeks behind schedule.
Texas Whooper Watch
Texas Whooper Watch is up and running and has done a
great job in getting the word out on whooping crane migration to the public this year. Take some time to check out
their websitehere.
Be sure to report any Texas sightings beyond the known

and American White Pelican are also common. Rubythroated Hummingbirds, Loggerhead Shrikes, Crested Caracara, White-tailed and Red-tailed Hawks and Laughing
Gulls are also abundant. A Double Crested Cormorant and
six Roseate Spoonbills were observed by middle school
students, from Sweet Home, who were in Turtle Bay, on
the Palacios ISD school boats, Weds. Colleen has reported
hearing Winter Wrens. In addition, Miss Murphy has also
seen a Belted Kingfisher in Trull Marsh and a Vermillion

This Week in Texas History
November 11, 1918: World War I came to an
end. A total of 198,000 Texans saw service in the
armed forces during the course of the war. 5,171
Texans, including one nurse, died in the armed
services. More than a third of the total deaths occurred inside the U.S., many of them as a result of
the influenza epidemic of 1918. Four Texans were
awarded the Medal of Honor.
November 12, 1839: President Lamar recommended that the Alabama-Coushatta be guaranteed permanent occupancy of their reservation
lands.
November 13, 1947: John Hill Westbrook, the
first black student to play varsity football in the
Southwest Conference, was born in Groesback,
Texas. In 1965 he enrolled at Baylor University
and tried out for the freshman football team as
a running back. Despite racially motivated harsh
treatment from some teammates and coaches, he
earned an athletic scholarship. On September 10,
1966, in the fourth quarter of a game against Syracuse, Westbrook became the first black to play
football in the Southwest Conference.
November 14, 1947: The Big Inch and Little Big
Inch, two strategic pipelines laid during World War
II from East Texas to the Northeast, were sold by
the U.S. government to a private company. One,
twenty-four inches in diameter, called the Big Inch,
transported crude oil. The other, twenty inches in
diameter, called the Little Big Inch, transported refined products.
November 15, 1863: United States Army occupied Corpus Christi.
November 16, 1845: The Republic of Texas
concluded its last Indian treaty. The agreement
marked the end of the Tehuacana Creek Councils, which began in the spring of 1843, when
Jesse Chisolm helped convince a number of Indian groups to meet on Tehuacana Creek near the
Torrey Brothers trading post south of present day
Waco.
November 17, 1835: The people of Cincinnati,
Ohio decided to aid the cause of the Texas Revolution by raising funds to procure two cannons. Two
guns, probably six pounders, were manufactured
at the foundry of Greenwood and Webb in Cincinnati and then shipped down the Mississippi to New
Orleans. Along with the Gonzales “come and take
it” cannon, the two cannons, known as the Twin
Sisters, are among the most famous weapons of
the Texas Revolution.

After the November 2nd
meeting opened, up next was
the roll-call question: “Have
you ever been to an opera? And if not, would you
like to?” The answers ran the
gamut from No/No interest to
a fair amount of experience
with opera, even if only from
hearing practicing neighbors
through an open window on
a hot Texas night.
A lovely red rose was presented to our new member,
Debbie Mosier, who posed
for her picture with President
Deborah Smith.
The evening’s program
about opera was presented by
Ruth Ann Gillette, June Highsmith, and Miss Murphy and
focused on showing how familiar opera music already is
in our lives. Thanks to YouTube and a prepared script
there were selections and
background information on
Wagner, Mendelssohn, Rossini, Verdi, Lehar, Mozart,
Puccini, Gilbert & Sullivan,
and Gershwin. In these selections Club members were
surprised to recognize our
traditional wedding music,
the March of the Toreadors,
the anvil chorus, the Brindisi
or drinking song, the Lone
Ranger music, etc.. Some
of the famous soloists heard
were Maria Callas, Placido
Domingo, and Al Jolson, on
old 1935 recording. And also
a somewhat scratchy 1908
recording of Enrico Caruso
singing La Donna E Mobile.
The program ended with a
comment about recognizing
the work that goes into all
performances and productions, and honoring the efforts by good dress and good

manners from the audience.
P.S. to the program was a
video from Ruth Ann Gillette
of a ‘Rave’, or surprise visit,
by opera singers disguised
as chefs at the luncheon
buffet of a British grammar
school. How surprised the
students were to have their
kitchen staff burst into operatic song. The young audience
reacted with delight, embarrassment, and giggles. The
baritone soloist was so loud a
few boys stuffed their fingers
in their ears! All-in-all a successful Rave - and an interesting Club program.

A Good Egg
Why did the chicken cross the road? At The Good
Shepherd’s Harter Ranch, it might be to lay an egg under the welcome sign on the front porch where “egg
lady” Sharon Harter finds an egg every day. I was gifted
a carton of Sharon’s eggs recently, and when I opened
the carton I surprisingly found a variety from large duck
eggs to tiny little Silky eggs, and my personal favorite,
brown eggs. I’m not sure why I like the brown ones best;
maybe, it’s just the vibrant yellow yolks of farm fresh
eggs that I enjoy?
White or brown, the average egg has about 70 calories
and is one of the least expensive forms of high quality
protein containing 6 grams. Some experts say the color
of eggs a chicken will lay can be determined by examining the color of the chicken’s ear lobe; however, Cindy
Quigg of R. J.’s Farm reports that chicks are specifically
bred to lay white or brown eggs, and she is not aware of
the ear lobe method. Cindy says that brown eggs are the
most popular and most of her flock produces the brown
variety. Whether they lay white or brown eggs, those
chicks that eat a lot of feed produce lots of eggs, according to Quigg. If you desire more egg information, check
out the American Egg Board’s Eggsclycopedia at www.
incredibleegg.org. From soufflés to meringues, this site
has it all!
Deviled eggs can be traced to ancient Rome when
highly seasoned foods earned the title “deviled.” More
recently, the term “stuffed” eggs often replaces the Satanic reference, especially at church suppers. This week’s
Caesar Stuffed Eggs are a new twist on an old favorite. I
consider asking for a recipe as a compliment to the hostess. I requested the recipe for this “eggstra” special appetizer from former Van Vleck Fire Chief Meredith Keelan,
and she graciously shared it with me. This recipe along
with nearly 500 more can be found in the soon to be released Palacios Community Medical Center BlueBelles’
cookbook.
Caesar Stuffed Eggs
Boil a dozen large eggs. The Incredible Egg people instruct us to place the eggs in a saucepan large enough to
hold them in a single layer. Add cold water to cover by
one inch. Heat over high heat to just boiling. Remove
and cover. Let stand for about 12 minutes. Drain and cool
under running water or in a bowl of ice water to make for
easier peeling. Peel, cut in half, and remove yolks placing them in a bowl. Mash with a fork. Grate one small
clove of garlic into the yolks. Add 2 t. of anchovy paste
along with 1 t. Worcestershire sauce. If you don’t have
anchovy paste on hand (which I usually don’t), increase
the Worcestershire to 1 T. Add ¼ c. grated ParmigianoReggiano cheese, juice of ½ lemon, 1 t. pepper, 1 heart
of Romaine lettuce leaf, finely chopped, and 3-4 T. mayonnaise, just enough to bind together. Stuff the eggs and
garnish with additional chopped Romaine. This side dish
has that great Caesar Salad taste.

PJHS pair pitch in to clean up
On Saturday, October 10, 2015, trucks with trailers traveled the streets and country roads
of Palacios and Matagorda County in search of old, abandoned tires and other hazardous
household material. When the day ended, the crew had collected over 70 old tires as well
as many gallons of old paint, oil, and other miscellaneous chemicals from the Palacios and
Markham area. James Hobbins, volunteer with the Collection crew, was thankful for the
help of 2 very energetic junior high students, Nathan Jeter and Julian Diaz. Nathan is the
7th grade son of Mr. and Mrs. Brandon San Miguel and is involved in Junior FFA and Jr
High Athletics. Julian, also a 7th grader, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Miguel Diaz. He is
active in Jr High Athletics, UIL Academics, PJHS Chess Club, Robotics, Student Council,
and Junior FFA. In addition, a special thanks to our local sponsors: Bay City Sears-Hank

Moments
“Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the
moments that take our breath away.”
Funny thing about moments…..our lives are filled with
so many of them. When our kids take their first steps,
when we purchased our first new car, landed our first big
job…etc.
Life is filled with many moments, and not all of them
are good. Our lives are full of daily struggles and rewards,
it is how we deal with these difficult times that define who
we are as people. As the holiday season approaches, we
must always remember to take time to be thankful for all
the moments we have had and will have. We must take
time to appreciate that we live in a community that is willing to help those in need. Fortunately, we have a school
district with a multitude of teachers, support staff, and
administrators that have the kid’s best interest at heart.
In those moments when we feel that everyone and everything is against us, we must take the time to reflect on the
fact that we were able to take a breath today.
With so many children in need these days, we as adults
must be the role models for them. If we take the time to
appreciate the moments and to be thankful for the little
things, our children will follow our example. There are
many ways to show how grateful we are for all that we
have. As an adult, if we make it a habit to say please,
thank you, and I’m sorry, our kids will be more apt to appreciate those words as well. If we make it a point to ask
our children daily to tell us one good thing that happened
to them, they will begin to look for the good in the day and
not the bad. If we teach our children that giving is more
important than receiving, and that sometimes a smile is
the best reward we can receive, our kids will grow to be
respectful adults who hopefully place more importance
in the moments in life that take our breath away and less
importance on material things.

POWERSET, PISD host educators from
Indonesia, Phillipines and Malaysia
On Wednesday, October 21, 2015, nine
teachers and administrators from Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia visited
Palacios ISD as part of the IAEA E3 Educator Program through the Nuclear Power
Institute at Texas A&M University. This
visit was coordinated by Dr. Valerie Segovia, Director of Outreach at NPI and Dr.
Wayne Kinnison, Research Scientist for
NPI at Texas A&M University. The participants visited to see “E3 and Other NPI
Outreach Programs at Work,” which included POWER SET, Power GRID, WIT,
and BRT. To kick off the event, POWER
SET had the participants take part in an
engineering competition called The Marshmallow Challenge. For the challenge, the
participants put themselves into groups
of three and used the contents of a paper
bag, which included dry spaghetti noodles,
string, tape, and one marshmallow to go
on top. The goal was to build the tallest,
freestanding tower with the marshmallow
on the top. The participants did a great job!
This competition was not only an icebreaker, but an example of the kinds of
things that POWER SET does at colleges
and universities that we visit, as well as
what we are planning for Power GRID this
year. After declaring a winner, Mrs. Leslie Gerberman, the Palacios High School
POWER SET sponsor, talked to the participants about what POWER SET does and
how those amazing opportunities impact
the young ladies in the organization, which
was reiterated when the members themselves spoke of their experiences in the
organization. Mrs. Diva Vasquez, the counselor at East Side Intermediate, who helps
coordinate both Power GRID and BRT,
spoke of the joys of watching the mentees
grow and learn from their relationships
with the POWER SET and WIT mentors.
Following POWER SET’s presentation,
Mr. Chris Page, the sponsor for WIT at Palacios High School, talked about some of
the opportunities that WIT experiences, as
well as his own opportunities to participate
in teacher outreach programs sponsored by
the Nuclear Power Institute. Some of these
opportunities included the Enrichment Experiences in Engineering at Texas A&M
University and the South Texas Project
STEM Summer Camp. All of these experiences allow for the continued and better
education of the WIT students at Palacios
High School. Lastly, Mrs. Stephanie Garcia, the original sponsor for POWER SET, and now the
current High School Principal, talked about
the chance she got to travel to the Czech
Republic to visit schools as part of a teacher exchange program, as well as work at the
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
in California. To round off the visit, the
teachers and administrators were able to
ask questions on how they can implement
the programs in their own schools, as well
as how to foster a love for STEM.

The hustle and bustle of the holiday season is among
us as evidenced by Christmas decorations at every store
around. Christmas music is soon to follow. If your children are like mine, they are keeping a running log of all
the gifts they want during this holiday season – thank you
Disney Jr. for the plethora of commercials of this season’s
newest toys! I, as a parent, want to see my children happy
and excited on Christmas morning, but I also know that
giving my children everything they want (and expect) is
very dangerous. Research suggests that children who are
overindulged by their parents are more likely than other kids to grow into adults who are obsessed with fame,
wealth and attractiveness. They end up feeling entitled
and perpetually disappointed. They are also likely to be
less skilled and not very conscientious or thoughtful of
others. I certainly don’t want this future for my children!
So how do we find the right balance between giving to our
children yet not overindulging them?
First, we, as adults, need to remember the holidays are
not all about gifts and spending money.
• Make a spending budget and stick to it no matter what.
• Don’t buy everything on your child’s gift list. They
need to learn about delayed gratification and, as much as
it pains us, disappointment.
• Make the holidays about family traditions and rituals.
This will stick with them far longer than those Anna and
Elsa dolls.
• Teach your children about giving during this season
especially. Bake some cookies for an elderly neighbor,
volunteer at Martha’s Table, make homemade holiday
cards and mail them to a children’s hospital or nursing
home.
• Teach your children about the real meaning of the holiday season.
Next, we need to understand overindulgence isn’t just
about all that “stuff” we buy. We overindulge by over
coddling our children, doing things for them that they
can clearly do for themselves; we don’t set enough rules
or don’t enforce the rules we have; and we overindulge
in HOW we praise our children, often praising them for
things they have not earned. Telling them they are brilliant
by virtue is very different than praising them for something they accomplished through work and effort.
Finally, we need to work on gratitude year round. Encourage generosity by donating toys and clothes to the
less fortunate. Have your children participate in simple
household chores – it will teach them a tidy home takes effort. Urge your children to write thank you notes for gifts
they receive throughout the year. Most of all, be patient.
Gratitude is not learned over night, but it is learned, so be
committed to your child’s future.
There is so much beauty to be seen and felt in the world
and especially during the holiday season. Relish, enjoy,
and be grateful for all the little things - the lights, ornaments, candles in a window and your children’s faces.
We receive new books often both for adults and younger patrons. We try to keep abreast of our readers’ interests.
Our younger clients can check out their favorite authors
and take AR credit quizzes at their convenience. Come by
and check out our new stock. If you don’t see what you
want we can put you on our waiting list. We also have
books by local authors on order and in stock
Last week during Science Rocks our after school students learned the art of making candles with Martha Riccio. Everyone made a cinnamon scented small candle
and learned about where wax and other candle making
products are made. The wax was provided by the Marine
Education Center. We’re thankful to the Texas Parks and
Wildlife service as they will be providing our Science
Rocks program on Thursday, November 5th.
Last week during Story Hour we talked about Halloween and we read Click Clack Boo! by Doreen Cronin. Each child made a spooky spider web craft. This past
week we began to talk about Thanksgiving and talked
about the Native Americans. Miss Vikijane shared some
books that showed where different tribes lived and what
they ate and lived in. We read the Legend of the Indian
Paintbrush by Tomie DePaolo and everyone made totem
poles with paper towel rolls that Kristin Webb provided.
Everyone chose a new book from the First Book box.
Now that school has begun parents can sign up their
children for the Homework program. We focus mainly on
the elementary grades through 6th grade. Older students
are welcome to come by and ask for homework help as
well.
November is National Novel Writing Month or NaNoWriMo, many of our older students have begun writing their
own novels this week. We’re excited to see what they
come up with and we’re polishing up our writing skills.
We’re also trying to update our movie library. If you
have any children’s DVDs you’d like to donate, we’d love
to have them.
Check out our Facebook page under the Palacios Library for more current events.

Sharks avoid shutout
with flurry in fourth,
fall 51-20 to Rice
BY RYAN WEST
Palacios Beacon Publisher
The long season on the gridiron wrapped up
for the varsity Palacios Sharks in last week’s
51-20 steaming by Rice’s Raiders.
The game was no where near as close as the
final score indicated, as the Raiders had run
up a 51-0 lead in the fourth quarter before the
Sharks struck paydirt three times in the waning minutes of the 2015 season.
As has been the case for a large majority of
the season, the Sharks avoided another shutout with a scoring flurry in the fourth quarter.
Palacios junior Danny Rodriguez cracked
Palacios’ goose-egg on the scoreboard on a
two yard plunge following a 50 yard scamper
to the Raiders’ redzone.
On Rice’s next drive, the Sharks forced a
fumble and recovered inside Rice territory.
Palacios found the endzone for the second
time on the night on a 25-yard touchdown run
by junior QB Ethan Garcia.
The record repeated itself again on the
Raiders’ ensuing possession and the Sharks
were in the endzone for the third time in the
fourth quarter as Rodriguez ripped off a 45yard touchdown run.
For as good as the Sharks were to end the
game, it was dust in the wind as the Raiders
raided and pillaged Shark Stadium for the first
three and a half quarters.
The floodgates opened for Rice early on
and were in the endzone on their second snap
of the game.
The tumble downhill only
continued from there for Palacios, as on their first drive
a pass from Garcia was intercepted and returned for a
touchdown.
The Raiders were up 23-0
at halftime before tacking another three touchdown nails
in the Sharks’ coffin.
Offensively, the Sharks
finished with 112-yards rushing and 54-yards though the
air, with most coming in the
fourth quarter.
On defense, the Sharks
were filleted on the air
and ground to the tune of
485-yards on the night.
For the Sharks, the loss
was their eighth straight loss
as they wrapped up the 2015
campaign with a disappointing 1-9 record overall and
0-5 in District play.

Regular Season Finale
The Tigers wrapped up the
Roll Tide
regular season last Friday
with the aforementioned 50loss to East Bernard.
“We did a good job versus
them in the first half, down
23-0 at halftime. In the second half their depth took over
and they scored quickly,”
noted Tiger head coach Brent
Mascheck.
“We could not get anything
going versus their defense
the entire night. They have,
in my opinion, one of the best
defensive fronts in the state,”
added Mascheck.
“I was disappointed in
the loss but I was not disappointed in the effort our kids
played with. We made some
mistakes and when you do
that against a great team it
costs you.”
Mascheck stated his squad
will regroup and are “so excited to be representing Tidehaven in the State playoffs.”
“We are very lucky to have
the opportunity to continue
to play while other teams are
done with their season.”
“The best thing that came
out of the game,” noted Mascheck, “was that we had no
major injuries so we will go
into our Bi-District game
versus Stockdale at full
strength.”
East Bernard pounded the
Tigers on the ground for 272

Sharkettes ready for another
playoff run on basketball court
BY RYAN WEST
The first opening tip of the
season was set to go up for
the 2015-16 varsity Palacios
Sharkettes this past Tuesday
(Nov. 10) as they were slated
to tip off the season at home
against the Victoria Cobras.
After last year’s taste of
playoff basketball, the Sharkettes are hungry for more in
the upcoming campaign.
The Sharkettes return three
starters and seven of nine
from last year’s 21-10, 6-4
squad,
At the forefront of the Palacios attack on the hardwood
is junior guard Lila Filip, a
First Team All-District and
First Team All-Region selec-
JV Sharks
cooked by
Rice 23-6
in season
finale
The junior varsity Palacios Sharks of the gridiron were upeneded by
Rice’s JV Raiders in the
2015 gridiron finale, 23-6
last Thursday.
Palacios’ lone score
of the contest came on a
touchdown run by Tommy Bowden.
Palacios’ attempt for
the two-point conversion
was denied
tion last season.
Joining Filip for a second
tour of starting duty on the
court are low-block stalwarts,
seniors Marrisa Figueroa and
Katy Sexton, - Second Team
All-District selections in last
year’s Bi-District playoff
squad.
Palacios head coach Aaron
Wollam points to his trio of
returning starters as the “keys
to success with their experience and leadership”.
Along with the trio of starters, Palacios returns four others with varsity and postseason experience.
Back on the squad in 201516 are juniors Amoni Gomez and Vriana Hernandez
and sophomores Lila Filip
and Sydney Greaves - all of
whom received Honorable
Mention All-District last
year.
Going hand in hand with
the team’s veteran leadership, is team chemistry.
“Finding the right combination of players will also
be huge for us,” commented
Wollam.
“We have a talented group
of kids, who I believe will do
a great job for us.”
As for what to expect from
this year’s Sharkette cagers, Wollam highlighted the
teams suffocating press and
uptempo play.
“I am looking forward to
great things from this group
of ladies,” Wollam added.
Gutierrez runs way to 57th at State
Battling nasty weather conditions, varsity Shark harrier
Miguel Gutierrez turned in
one heck of a performance at
last week’s State Cross Country Meet.
Gutierrez, a junior at PHS,
clocked a 18:10.89 on the
course and finished 57th out
of 152 runners.
“We are extremely proud of
Miguel representing PHS at
the State,” said Palacios CC
coach Bill Fort.
“Miguel is one of only a
handful of individuals that
achieved that honor for Palacios since 1980. He ran one
of his best times in horrible
conditions.”
Fort noted that Gutierrez, a
junior, has a chance of qualifying for the state meet three
years in a row.
SHARK junior Miguel
Gutierrez finished 57th
out of 152 runners at last
week’s State Meet.
Sandsharks close out 2015 with wins over Rice
The PJHS 8th grade Sandsharks edged Rice
14-6 in last week’s gridiron finale.
With less than a minute left in the game,
Xzavier Haynes reeled in the go-ahead touchdown pass from Kolby Wilson. Wilson tacked
on the two-point conversion to put Palacios
ahead 14-6.
Jordin Nemes found his way into the endzone for Palacios’ first score.
“The defense executed at a high level playing assignment football, with several players
swarming to the football and getting in the
mix,” noted coach Todd Polvado.
Defensive standouts were Sammy Sosa,
Keegan Garcia, Wilson, Alex Elizondo and
Adrian Mata.
Sandshark 7th
The 7th grade Sandsharks capped off their
one loss season with a 34-12 win over Rice
last week.
“All three phases of the game played well
and got the job done finishing a successful
season,” said coach Koby Gerberman.
“Minus a couple busted assignments, the
defense played pretty well, combining for
four interceptions and a fumble recovery. Defensively we were led by Kyus Saha on the
line, Brian Le at linebacker and Eric Alvarez
in the secondary.”
Sandshark terrorizer of defenses, Simon
Cano scored four Palacios touchdowns,
and fellow backfield partner in terror, Gary
Haynes, III tacked on one score.
“This season as a whole was great for this
group. The kids learned a lot and made improvements both physically and in the way
we attack the game.”
