Burn ban in
Dallam, Hartley
Counties
By NIXIE SANDERSON
THE DALHART TEXAN
Cotton producers and supporters have been lobbying for cottonseed
oil to be labeled as a minor oilseed for Agriculture Risk Coverage
and Price Loss Coverage purposes. Late last year, an open letter by a
bipartisan group of lawmakers was sent to Vilsack, urging him to make
the designation of cottonseed as a minor oil.
A burn ban has been put into place
for both Dallam and Hartley County
as the panhandle region continues to
experience critical fire weather. Low
humidity and high winds with warmer
than usual temperatures have increased
the fire risk in the area.
Dalhart Fire Department Chief
Curtis Brown said the current burn ban
is in effect for seven days. However, he
said the county commissioners will hold
a special meeting Monday to decide if
they want to extend the burn ban to 90
days.
Firefighters have responded to
several grass fires in recent weeks, all
with varied causes. Brown said this
week there were grass fires caused by
cutting torches while building a fence, a
branding iron and one from an unsecured
load on a trailer.
In addition to generally using
caution, Brown reminds residents that
a burn ban includes burning household
trash.
The Texas A&M Forest Service
makes the following recommendations
while the critical fire weather conditions

Fate of cotton seed oil designation still undecided
By NIXIE SANDERSON
THE DALHART TEXAN
Many in the cotton industry have voiced have declared they will
continue to seek a designation for cottonseed oil as an “other oil” under
the 2014 Farm Bill, despite an announcement by Secretary Tom Vilsack
that he does not have the legal authority to make the designation.
Winkelman’s celebrates 35 years of service in the northwest panhandle

THE DALHART TEXAN
Winkelman’s Heating and Air Conditioning Company has
been proudly serving customers’ HVAC needs since July 1981.
With one location in Dumas, technicians go the extra mile
across much of Dallam, Hartley, Moore and Sherman counties
to provide excellent customer service with a smile.
Brian Winkelman, founder, began his business as a young
adult after being trained by a mentor who later died tragically.
Winkelman felt inspired to carry on in the business and
would later bring on his own father to provide administrative
expertise.
Over the years, the business has grown; a testament to the
superior level of training each technician receives and the level
of professional service every Winkelman customer receives.
“We cater our business around our customers—the only
real ‘boss’ in our company. Whether it’s after during normal
business hours, after hours or weekends, we let our customers
know they are our top priority,” Winkelman said. “We also

Relay for Life hope story
BY DEBI SHUGAR
RELAY FOR LIFE
Relay for Life funds
the research and programs
of the American Cancer
Society.
Without money being
raised each year, patients
and their families wouldn’t
have access to services that
provide hope. Sometimes
the best thing that someone
needs when they are going
through a hard time is
understanding.
The American Cancer
Society provides that hope
and understanding.
This personal story
from a cancer survivor is
an example of how The
American Cancer Society
gives a patient something
more than just a place to
stay:
On February 6, 2012, I
had a routine mammogram.
A month later, I learned I
had breast cancer....it was
a rare “invasive” type
that I had apparently had
for two years, but it was
never detected. All sorts of
emotions raged that were
foreign to me, yet my faith,
my family, my friends and
my doctors played a vital
role in keeping me sane,
informed, loved, supported
and minimally stressed.
There
were
many
events
throughout
the
coming months in my
“cancer journey”, but the
one experience that was
most crucial in my healing
process was the seven weeks
I resided at the Winn Dixie
Hope Lodge in Gainesville,
Fla.
When I was first
introduced to the whole
concept of staying in a
facility far from home for
seven weeks, I didn’t know
if I would be less stressed
there or at my own home 50
miles away with my loving
husband, gorgeous woods
on the beautiful Suwannee
River.
The tranquility of my
own home I thought would
be best for my healing, but
then I visited Hope Lodge,
even though I had NO idea
yet what treatment I would
be getting, when it would
start and for how long....
that didn’t matter...”Just
come and look at the facility,
see how comfortable and
necessary this place will
be during your fight for
Page 3
Friday, February 19, 2016
survival.”
They were right! It was
less stress, not only on my
vehicle and pocketbook, but
being close to my treatment
center and doctors, being
in my own comfy suite for
privacy and ease during
my “down days,” but most
important, the camaraderie,
love and support of a bunch
of total strangers in different
stages of their cancer, some
with different treatments,
different intensities, but
the SAME DISEASE...you
cannot get that at home
alone.
So often I was
mistaken for a “caregiver”
instead of a patient because,
as a life-long entertainer, I
was always upbeat, telling
jokes and stories, singing
with my guitar in the
cafeteria, counseling others
on their “down days” all the
while knowing I was a sick,
but a Survivor and striving
for my own perfect health
once again. Those seven
weeks I was at Hope Lodge
made my treatments and the
beginning of my recovery
go by with such ease.
One of the most
bittersweet days of my life
was the day I signed out,
leaving the Hope Lodge
property for the very last
time as a resident. The
people I met during my
seven week stay - patients,
caregivers, volunteers and
staff - are now my “family”
and I keep in touch with
many of them to this day.
Now, when I return, I sign
in a different book, the book
for visitors and volunteers
to bring HOPE to new
people residing at the Winn
Dixie Hope Lodge during
their own cancer journeys.
Why do you Relay? I
Relay for this patient so
that she can have access to
lodging.
Can you Relay for your
family, kids, grandkids, or
even strangers?
How about yourself?
So many people are
touched by cancer each and
every day. We can’t stop
this fight! Join us in the
fight for a world with more

COTTON
continued from page 1
Those in the cotton
industry argue that the USDA
already has the authority to
make the designation under
the 2014 Farm Bill.
“Time and again the
Secretary has used the tools
made available to him under
the law to respond to a crisis
in agriculture. The current
economic situation for cotton
farmers is dire and it warrants
the same urgent and meaningful
action by the Department,”
House Agriculture Committee
Chairman
K.
Michael
Conaway (R-TX) said.
Conaway is one of
the agriculture supporters
who believe the USDA has
the authority to make the
designation of cottonseed
as a minor oilseed and has
urged constituents to continue
to write letters and seek the
designation for cottonseed
oil.
“The Department has
not only the legal authority
to designate cottonseed as
an ‘other oilseed,’ but the
responsibility to act, and I
trust that the Secretary is
sensitive to the situation and
shares my commitment and
the commitment of so many
others that this matter must be
meaningfully responded to in
a timely way,” he said.
The
Plains
Cotton
Growers
(PCG),
which
includes the Texas panhandle,
holds a similar position
regarding cotton as an “other
oil seed.”
“We continue to believe
that the current Farm Bill
allows for this authority for
USDA, and many Members
of Congress share that
belief,”
PCG
President
Shawn Holladay said in a
press release this month.
“This designation would be a
tremendous boost for cotton
growers across the Cotton
Belt who are struggling with
low prices, high input costs,
weak demand, and growing
competition from foreign
producers who are heavily
subsidized, and it would help
give us some stability as we
go into financing the 2016
crop.”
Holladay acknowledged
Vilsack’s understanding of the
cotton industry’s situation, and

said that PCG would continue
to work with him and the
USDA to help growers facing
these challenges.
“We made a strong case
and had a significant amount
of support,” Holladay said.
“I can assure you that Plains
Cotton Growers will leave
no stone unturned when it
comes to finding or creating
opportunities to help cotton
producers in these challenging
times, and will keep working
to find a solution.”
Across the panhandle
region, the number of acres
planted for cotton were
down in 2015. According to
information released by the
NationalAgricultural Statistics
Service (NASS) in early
November, cotton producers
in the northern high plains
region planted approximately
450,000 acres of cotton. In
2014, approximately 821,000
acres were planted.
That is primarily attributed
to the significant rainfall in
May, which delayed some
producers to the point they
were not able to plant in time.
That left producers finding
alternative crops to plant this
year.
Another reason for the
decrease in acres planted is the
price of cotton. Profitability
is a concern that has plagued
cotton
producers
across
the nation, not only in the
panhandle, and is a leading
factor in the push to have
cottonseed designated as a
minor oilseed.
There are many reasons
that have been attributed for
the drop in cotton price, but a
major factor is China, which
holds a large portion of the
world’s stocks in reserves and
is currently seeing a recession
in their overall economy. The
other is a transition from using
cotton to using more manmade fibers for textiles, such
as polyester.
However, Plains Cotton
Growers reports that producers
intend to plant 8.9 million
acres in 2016, an increase
over 2015.

Meet DCA board member
Pictured are Justin, Sarah, Anna, John, Elsie, Jay and
Imree Vy. Justin Vyn is a board member of the Dalhart
Christian Academy. “When we first visited Dalhart in the
spring of 2006 we felt the Dalhart area would be home one
day. We were attracted by the community feel of Dalhart
and the quality of people we met in the area. Dalhart was
a smaller yet progressive town and the business we were
involved in was expanding in the high plains area. In May
2009, we packed up our then family of four and moved
to Dalhart. Over the years, we have grown to love many
things about our small town. The fact that you can be
anywhere in just a few minutes (unless there is a train),
you always know someone wherever you go, and they still
pray to God before the rodeo begins. The community is
supportive, patriotic and welcoming. Being originally
from Canada, we don’t have any biological family close
by, but many in the community have stepped in and really
become a new ‘Texas’ family to us. We are currently in
our fourth year with kids attending Dalhart Christian
Academy (DCA). The school has been a real blessing to our
family. We are thankful for this community of teachers,
staff and other parents that support us in our goal to live
out Proverbs 22:6, ‘Train up a child in the way he should
go, And even when he is old he will not depart from it.’
One of our favorite things about DCA is the spring and
Christmas programs. Our kids come home from school
singing really upbeat songs with a message of faith in Jesus
and confidence in who they are. Reflecting back over the
10 years since we first discovered Dalhart. we are grateful
to call this home,” Justin Vyn said.

PENTECOSTAL CHURCH
In the scriptures, there
was an incident shared
by our Lord Jesus Christ
where He relates a situation
of a scribe who approaches
and ask a straight forward
question.
The definition of a
scribe is: a person who
copies out documents,
especially one employed to
do this before printing was
invented.
Although,
biblical
scribes were most likely
employed by the Jewish
temple to record their
daily business and too

Faith
Our Neighbors
preserve the authenticity
of its teachings, this scribe
could be a modern day
reporter employed and his
assignment is to follow
Jesus and to report any
news worthy information.
The
related
story
shares that this scribe
was impressed with how
Jesus fielded the questions
thrown at him.
The scribe throws a
very strait forward fast ball
and asks, “Which is the first
commandment of all?”
Jesus quickly answers
without hesitation, “The
Lord our God is one Lord:
And thou shalt love the Lord
thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and
with all thy mind, and with
all thy strength. The Lord
did not stop with the first,
but concluded the second
is like, namely this, ‘Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as
thyself’”. (KJV)
Recently, our family
was brought in close to
a tragedy with another
family here in our Dalhart
community. In my mind
and thoughts, although
the tragedy placed me in
close proximity I felt as an
outsider looking in.
Personally thinking I
did not know the family
until I read something that
was written in our local
newspaper. While reading
this, I realized this tragedy
was directly involving a
past next door neighbor and
someone I did see almost
every day.
We may be a diverse
community with culture,
faith, and employment
responsibilities and these
may connect us to certain
groups, but one thing we all
share in common is that we
are all neighbors.
Let’s not wait until a
tragedy brings us together
as neighbors, but let’s take
time to be there for one
another even in the simpler
times. Even if in the simple
gesture of, when baking a
dozen cookies, bake two
dozen and bring one dozen
to your neighbor, helping
our neighbors to shovel
their snowed in driveways
or when you hear they have
a need step up and help.
This same neighbor was
there for us when our pet
got out of the fence; instead
of just letting our family
pet run off and suffer the
unknown consequences of
getting injured or worse, I
came home and found a note
on the front door saying,
“This is your neighbor
next door, your dog got out
this morning after you left,
we brought her inside our
home until you arrive back
home.”
Simple acts of kindness
every day to our neighbors
is what truly exemplifies
David Watts
the true meaning of “love
thy neighbor as thyself.”

Bt corn trait selection determines caterpillar pest control
BY KAY LEDBETTER
TEXAS A&M AGRILIFE
COMMUNICATIONS
AMARILLO – Newly
introduced
caterpillar
control
technology
has
corn producers weighing
the benefits of paying more
for multiple toxin Bt corn
seed, said a Texas A&M
AgriLife Extension Service
entomologist.
The decision will depend
on what pests are in the field,
said Dr. Ed Bynum, AgriLife
Extension entomologist in
Amarillo.
“If you grow corn in
the northern Panhandle and
traditionally battle western
bean cutworm, then the more
toxins the better,” Bynum
said.
Bynum and Dr. Pat
Porter, AgriLife Extension
entomologist in Lubbock,
and Blayne Reed, AgriLife
Extension integrated pest
management agent for Floyd,
Hale and Swisher counties,
conducted field trials on
multiple seed company
products with added toxins in
2015. They were determining
the likely benefits of Bt
pollen pollinating the nonBt refuge ears in seed blend
refuge fields.
Bacillus thuringiensis,
referenced as Bt, is a sporeforming soil bacterium that
produces protein crystals
toxic to many types of
insects. The toxic protein
crystals are referred to as Cry
toxins, Bynum explained.
He said the Cry toxins
based on Bt have the
following general toxicity
profile: lepidoptera – Cry1;
lepidoptera and diptera –
Cry2; coleopteran – Cry3,
and diptera – Cry4.
Transgenic
corn
is
inserted with a Bt gene, a
promoter gene and a marker
gene, Bynum said. The
promoter gene allows the
Bt gene to be turned on and
different promoter genes
may allow the Bt toxin to be
expressed at different times
of the year or in different
parts of the plant.
Bynum said these toxins
are species specific in insects,
and humans and other
vertebrates are not affected
by the toxins.
Within the Bt technology,
there is the ability to stack
traits or pyramid them, he
said.
Stacked traits
are those that target two
completely different types
of organisms. An example
would be a corn variety
that had two very different
Bt toxins for both corn
rootworm control and corn
borer control.
A pyramid is a suite of
different toxins intended to
control organisms that are
similar. For example, a Bt
hybrid that has three different
toxins all intended to control
various lepidoptera would be
a pyramid hybrid.
“Producers
need
to understand there are
differences in insertion
packages and insertion events
that provide a real difference
in insect control in the field,”
he said.
So it is important to know
which toxins are effective
against each of the different
caterpillar pests, and whether
or not to purchase corn with
multiple toxins, Bynum said.
All of the toxins – Cry1Ab,
Cry1A.105, Cry2Ab2, Cry1F
and Vip3A – are effective
against European corn borer

get the accurate picture, said
Dr. Gaylon Morgan, Texas
A&M AgriLife Extension
Service state cotton specialist,
College Station. There are
some
extreme
changes
predicted in cotton acres
across the Cotton Belt.
“Based on predictions
from last year at this time —
5.3 million expected planting
acres — our acreage could
actually be down a little bit
compared to last year,” he
said.
First, the survey is, in
a way, comparing apples
to oranges, or in this case,
comparing intended plantings
to actualities, Morgan said.
Intended plantings in 2015
were 5.3 million acres.
However, due to excessive
moisture, more than 500,000
acres were not planted, in
particular in the Rio Grande
Valley, Coastal Bend, Upper
Gulf Coast and definitely the
northern High Plains.
From weekly reports by
AgriLife Extension county
agents across the cotton
growing areas, there has
been some indication that
producers were considering
planting less cotton this
year because of low prices
last year. Moreover, future
contracts are suggesting
prices will be about the same
this year.
The problem is, Morgan
said, prices of the usual
alternatives to cotton in Texas
— corn, wheat and sorghum
— are down as well this
year.
“We’re really looking
at an acreage switch that is
going to be minimal, overall
a couple of hundred thousand
acres,” he said. “Some might
switch to sorghum – or
maybe to wheat if they got it
planted earlier; or, depending
upon their irrigation capacity,
to corn. But none of the
commodity prices look that
good, and producers are going
to be faced with making some
hard decisions to see what
crops pencil out the best.”
Morgan said some Rio
Grande Valley growers were
planning to begin planting
cotton this week.
“Part of that situation is
they want to take advantage
of their current soil moisture
situation, which is good,”
he said. “Last year, it was
too wet to plant, which led
to about 40 percent of the
intended acres not getting
planted. Some folks want to
avoid the possibility of being
in a similar situation. They
also remember the string
of years where they didn’t
have enough soil moisture to
plant. So they are pushing the
planting envelope a bit.”
In the Blacklands and
Central Texas, the usual
planting dates starts about
April 1 to May 1. In the High
Plains, planting will start
around May 15.
“So, despite good soil
moisture now, additional rain
will be needed to be able to
establish the cotton crop,”
Morgan said.
It’s a little too early to
Texas cotton ‘actual’ plantings could be down a little compared to last year
BY ROBERT BURNS
TEXAS A&M AGRILIFE
COMMUNICATIONS
COLLEGE STATION –
The Feb. 5 National Cotton
Council’s 35th Annual Early
Season Planting Intentions
Survey indicated Texas
growers intended plantings
to be up 5.6 percent over the
actual plantings in 2015.
According to the survey,
“Overall,
Texas
cotton
acreage is expected to
increase by 5.6 percent, with
South Texas responsible for
the statewide increase. The
survey responses indicate that
cotton growers expect to plant
land that was idled in 2015
due to excessive moisture.
Little change in acreage was
indicated in the state’s other
regions.”
For the U.S. total, the
council’s survey suggests
cotton plantings to be up 6.2
percent at 9.1 million acres,
with some Southeastern
regions seeing deep declines
in planting intentions, while
the Delta states are looking
at eight to 40 percent
increases. A summary of the
survey results for all the U.S.
can be found at http://bit.
ly/1oxNIQ5.
The survey showed
Texas upland cotton intended
plantings at a little more
than 5 million acres, up from
2015 actual plantings of 4.8
million, a change of about
200,000 acres.
However, the survey
bears some interpretation to
predict how cotton plantings
will go this year, but
conditions so far are much
more favorable than in recent
years, he said.
“However, we will need
some in-season rain to obtain
the yields necessary to make
cotton profitable in 2016,”
Morgan said.
AgriLife

district reporters compiled
the following summaries:
Panhandle: Open weather
allowed producers to do
fieldwork, apply fertilizer
and repair equipment in
preparation
for
spring
plantings.
Pasture and rangeland
were in fair to good condition
across most of the region,
with a few counties reporting
poor conditions and a few
rating it excellent.
Subsoil and topsoil
moisture was short to
adequate.
Winter wheat was nearly
all emerged and reported in
fair to good condition, with
a few reporting excellent. In
some areas, the crop needed
water. Cows on dormant range
were being fed supplements.
Calving was in full
progress in some areas,
while in others ranchers were
beginning spring roundups
and weaning calves. Cattle
on wheat pasture were doing
well due to mild weather. The
biggest concern across the
region was the high potential
for wildfire.

IS SALVATION BY BAPTISM?
Many have been made to believe that salvation is not by
baptism, but it is solely by faith or wholly by grace. What saith the
Scripture about this? Is salvation by baptism?
1) Jesus Said It Is. Jesus said, “He that believeth and is
baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned”
(Mk. 16:16). The word “and” ties faith and baptism together, making
baptism just as essential as faith in being saved. To just believe is to
come up short. Faith + Baptism = Salvation. It’s just that simple!
2) New Testament Converts Understood It Is. Every case
of New Testament conversion, from the conversion of the Jews on
Pentecost in Acts 2 to the conversion of the Ephesians in Acts 19,
involved folks being baptized. Why were all these baptized, even
the same hour they heard the word, if salvation is not by baptism?
3) The Apostles Taught It Is. The apostle Paul spoke of
“the salvation which is in Christ Jesus” (2 Tim. 2:10), and taught that
we are “baptized into Christ” (Gal. 3:27). If salvation is in Christ and
we are baptized into Christ, then salvation is by baptism. Thus, all
those who have not been baptized into Christ are outside of Christ
and do not have salvation. The apostle Peter taught, “The like
figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us” (1 Pet. 3:21).

Hartley Lady Tigers win bi-district title
By DEREK HOLLINGSWORTH
THE DALHART TEXAN
The Hartley Lady Tigers beat Hart on Monday, February 15,
in the bi-district round of the 2016 basketball playoffs by the final
score of 46-34.
Hartley used a one-two combination of aggressive offense and
defense to keep Hart off balance through the first half.
The Lady Tigers held Hart to just five points in the first quarter.
They scored 14 points in the opening frame.
Hartley pushed the lead to 24-14 at the break.
The second half was a different story.
Hartley outscored Hart by just two points, 22-20, in the second
half.
But the Lady Tigers’ defense proved too tough for Hart to
overcome. Hartley turned in 38 rebounds in the game. 24 of those
rebounds came on the defensive side of the ball.
Kyllie Richardson led the Lady Tigers with 13 total rebounds.
Hannah Drew had eight rebounds on the night.
Hartley also had seven steals and three blocks against Hart. All
three of the blocks came in the second half.
Offensively, the Lady Tigers had three players in double digits
Monday night. Kyllie Richardson led all scorers with 12 points.
Hannah Drew and Hunter Hill had 11 points each.
The Lady Wolves continue their playoff run at the area round
tonight at West Texas High in Stinnett as they face off against
Follett. Game time is slated for 6 p.m.
The playoff run was short for the
Dalhart Lady Wolves this year. The
Levelland Lady Wolves eliminated
Dalhart in the bi-district round on Monday,
February 15, by a final score of 74-45.
Despite coming into the game as
a four seed, Dalhart played its typical
aggressive, in-your-face, game and refused
to be intimidated by the Lady Loboes size,
speed, or regular season record of 23-8.
The Lady Wolves contested every
shot and made Levelland work for every
point.
The Lady Wolves were outscored 16-4
in the first quarter. The girls scratched out
12 points in the second period, but trailed
36-16 at the break.
Dalhart adjusted at halftime and
played a more solid, consistent second
half.
“Although we were outscored 29-38
in the second half, we played a smarter,
tighter half. I’m proud of the way these
ladies refused to quit,” said Lady Wolves’
coach Anthony Catherall.
Dalhart took 47 high percentage shots
in the game, but as in the regular season,
the ball refused to bounce Dalhart’s
way. The Lady Wolves ended the night
shooting just 36 percent from the field and
64 percent from the free throw line.
A trio of Lady Wolves scored in double
digits Monday night. Brooklyn Strsafuss
led the way with 13 points. Karley Orman
contributed 12 points. Hayden Dunham
had 11 points.
Dalhart grabbed 31 rebounds against
Levelland. Strafuss had 10 of those
rebounds. Karly Orman and Dominique
Smith had seven rebounds apiece.
The Lady Wolves also had seven
steals.
“We didn’t go as far as we wanted to
this year, but was a good season for us,”
said Catherall afterward.
The Lady Wolves entered 2015-16
with just one returning senior. Several
players were asked to step into new roles
this season. There were injuries at key
points in the season.
Despite the lopsided score Monday
night, Dalhart was competitive in every
district game. The Lady Wolves lost to
Perryton twice by a combined three points.
On February 2, Dalhart lost to Borger by
three points.
“We got a ton of experience this
season. Our bench players were crucial
for us,” said Catherall. “If you look at it
from game one to game twenty-six we’re
completely different teams. It was a fun
year and I’m excited to see what these
girls do next year.”
Dalhart Wolves drop final game of season 72-49 in Perryton
By DEREK HOLLINGSWORTH
THE DALHART TEXAN
Dalhart lost its final game of the 201516 season to Perryton on Tuesday night. The
Rangers beat the Wolves 72-49.
Perryton moves on to bi-district action.
Dalhart was not able to find the win column
in district play. Their season is over.
Perryton attacked the rim all night long
and frustrated Dalhart with a steady stream
of double and sometimes triple-team defense.
The Rangers had 44 rebounds in the game.
Perryton jumped out to a 17-8 first quarter
lead. They pushed it to a 44-19 lead at the
half.
Dalhart came out in the second half and
played more aggressively on offense. The
Wolves outscored the Rangers 30-28 in the
second half.
“That’s been the story of this season,” said
Dalhart coach Deion Mitchell. “Almost every
game, we’ve played a better second half than
the first. We’ve won a lot of second halves.
It’s something we’ll work on hard next year,
to be a more balanced team that plays that
aggressively in all four quarters.”
Dalhart was led in scoring by Jessie Lujan
and Ian Shugart. Both had 14 points in the
game. Nine of Shugart’s points came from
second half three-pointers.
Chandler Renshaw had five points in the
game.
Dalhrt continued to hold the ball against
Perryton. The Wolves turned the ball over 31
times.
Shooting improved in the final game.
Dalhart shot 42 percent from the field Tuesday.
It was a phenomenal night from the free throw
line. The Wolves shot 89.5 percent from the
line, making 17 of 19 shots.
“We’re 100 percent better today than we
were on day one. That’s all you can ask as a
coach. The future looks bright. We play sets
now and we know how to handle pressure
better. We’ll reload and hit it even harder and
hopefully contend for some kind of hardware
next year,” said Mitchell.
