Reflections on Commissioner Ron Morrison 1945-2016

Williamson County Precinct 4 Commis-
sioner Ron Morrison passed away in the early morning hours of September 7 after an illness. Commissioner Morrison was serving his third term for Precinct 4. He was a lifetime resident of Williamson and Milam Counties and was married to Glenda Morrison for nearly 50 years. They are members of the Round Rock Church of Christ. Mr. Morrison kept his personal life very private, so many in Williamson County were stunned and saddened to hear the news. All, however, had nothing but high praise for this man of character, hard work, and humanity above all else. Precinct 3 Justice of the Peace Bill Gravell met Mr. Morrison in 1978 when the Judge was just a junior in high school. "Ron Morrison was the first person to help me run for office: Class President. He came up with my first slogan, 'Give the gavel to Gravell.'" Judge Gravell said his respect for Mr. Morrison is second only to his own father; there is not a man of greater integrity. "I struggled in school and made some bad choices," said Gravell. "My counselor said

I should take trade school classes because that was the best I would ever be. Ron Morrison was a teacher in those classes and he was the person who grabbed me by the collar and said, 'You just have to decide to be what you want to be...' He seconded the motion to appoint me as Justice of the Peace and voted for me." Morrison's stance on crime was wellknown, nearly as well as his incredible sense of humor. In 2013, when he announced he would be running for his third term, he told the assembled Republicans, "We are tough on crime [in Williamson County]. If you are charged with a crime and you are convicted, we will see to it that you go to jail for a long time. If you are charged with a crime and found innocent, we will do our best to make sure you at least get probation." Pete Correa was Mr. Morrison's executive assistant in his role as Commissioner, but was also his friend for the past 35 years. Correa was assistant to the previous commissioner, Frankie Limmer. "He kept me on and it was an honor to work for him. We've done some fun things in life and we've both done our best for the County; we were a heck of a team." He went on to say, "We went through three elections and terms, and I used to tell people when Ron runs, I run too; and a vote against Ron is a vote against Pete." Correa shared that Mr. Morrison enjoyed auctioneering for charity. "It was something he did for free as a gift to people. He loved to make people smile and laugh. He always had a joke ready to go, he was a wonderful story-teller and whenever he asked me what to say in a speech, I told him to speak off the cuff; that was really what he was best at."
Williamson County says procedure is to appoint an interim Commissioner to complete Morrison's term, which Judge Gattis will do after a few weeks consideration.
Judge Dan A. Gattis
Comm 4 Executive Assistant Pete Correa Correa said they shared a love of public service, and for now, Mr. Correa plans to stay where he is. "People used to ask me how I could do the job when I got chewed out all the time. I said it was my job to represent the county and make Ron Morrison look good. I loved every minute of it. It is a heartbreaking loss and it hurts real hard, but I gotta be strong for him." Congressman Judge John Carter released a statement today, as well. “Erika and I are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our dear friend, Ron Morrison. There is so much to say about Ron and his commitment to our community. Ron served our country with distinction and was a dedicated servant for the people of Williamson County. A lifelong resident of Round Rock, Ron faithfully served as Commissioner, he was a former teacher, and he tirelessly served the community on many boards and commissions. He led with integrity, wit and most of all passion. He will be greatly missed by many throughout our region. With our deepest sympathies, Erika’s and my thoughts and prayers are with Ron’s wife Glenda and his entire family. God bless them all at this time.”
"Ron Morrison was a good man and true gentleman who worked very hard to represent the citizens of Precinct 4 in Williamson County and clearly kept their best interests in his heart every day. Never did I have a conversation with Ron that he wasn't lobbying or promoting some aspect of east Williamson County. His smile and humor will be missed by all of us, and I personally have lost a good friend."
Lisa Birkman, Commissioner, Pct. 1
Commissioner Ron Morrison will be missed by all that knew him. He was a good man, devoted husband, steady leader and public servant. He had a dry sense of humor and often teased the three lady commissioners for talking so much as he was a man of few, but wise, words. Please join me in praying for his wife, Glenda, his niece, Brooke, and his many friends.
Cynthia Long, Commissioner Pct. 2
Today Williamson County lost a great friend. Ron Morrison's life was characterized by service. He loved people and loved life. Ron was always ready with an encouraging word and a great story to match. My life and my family's life has been enriched and blessed because of Ron Morrison.
Valerie Covey, Commissioner Pct. 3
Ron Morrison was a statesman who truly cared about his constituents in Precinct 4. He was always willing to give of his time and talents, including being an auctioneer to raise funds for multiple causes over the years. I always enjoyed working with Ron and sitting next two him every Tuesday for the last decade. His smile, humor, and overall charm will truly be missed by all that knew him; I know I will.

Drivers who illegally pass school buses face fines up to $1,250 for a first offense. Individuals convicted of this offense more than once, may have their license suspended for up to six months. A ticket for illegally passing a school bus cannot be dismissed through defensive driving.
While in the hospital recently, Mr. Bass was presented with the first Williamson County Bar Association's Award for Attorney Excellence. The WCBA determined that moving forward the award will be the Ray Bass Attorney Excellence Award. "He persevered to the end," said attorney Scott Magee. "I saw him at court in a wheelchair with an oxygen tank because he was prepared to set a jury trial. He came to work even then."

"Blue Mass" Celebrates Law Enforcement
FEATURED ADVERTISER
Austin T-Shirts Still a Georgetown Staple
You're not seeing things. The Austin Shirt Company and the Georgetown Shirt Company are the same people. Craig and Sandy Mooney and Jay Saenger started working at the company in 1989 and in 2001 took a leap of faith to buy it for themselves and share a new vision to be a part of the Georgetown community. One thing is certain, they know the print business inside and out. Austin Shirt Company provides promotional products for clients all over Georgetown, but also nationwide. They cater not just to schools, but churches, museums, corporate clients, non-profits and celebrities; Craig's biggest client is a modeling agency in Florida, and he also does the majority of the print work for Willie Nelson. They are proud to provide everything from one color to high-end with rhinestones, but always in a timely and professional manner. If they don't do it in-house, they make sure
they can get it for you. "We never want to say 'no' to anyone," Craig says, "But we have some of the industry's best and biggest equipment and I'm a numbers guy. I will promise only what I know I can deliver. I love having customers tour the production area. When people see how hard we work for a great product, it cements that relationship and creates loyal customers." Mooney and, by extension, the company often give back to the community under the radar. He supports various projects or programs as a printer can;

"If I am aware of something and it touches me or the community, I like to do what I can to make a difference. Maybe it's a shirt or a sponsorship, or maybe I'll purchase a spot in a charity golf tournament (my new favorite hobby) but we've always been a family company; we're family-oriented and it's important to give back." As a businessman, Mooney takes his success very personally. "If a customer is not satisfied, I always want them to tell me—otherwise I don't have the opportunity to fix it and give them the best we have to offer. In some cases the customer is doing us a favor by showing us a process that didn't work right and might possibly not work right for someone else." Austin Shirt Company is at 40204 Industrial Park Circle; just north of the Inner Loop. Visit GTshirt. com.

Governor Dan Patrick, TX Rep Tony Dale, Judge Billy Ray Stubblefield prepare for Blue Mass. • Right: Celebration Church Pastor Joe Champion speaks to close the ceremony. About 275 law enforcement officers, family members and friends joined in fellowship at Celebration Church Sept. 4 to honor and pray for members of law enforcement. The event was a longtime dream of Univ of Texas Chaplain Ricky Poe, who is a member of Celebration. Poe says, "An event like this has been a burden on my heart. We always had services and invited police, but never did a service just for them." Once Pastor Joe Champion gave him the goahead, Poe contacted the Governor's office to invite the Lt. Governor who is working to pass the Police Protection Act. As well, 200 volunteers at Celebration helped out to produce a fourth service of the day
complete with child care, live worship and a message of inspiration. Lt. Governor Dan Patrick gave the opening sermon and paraphrased how the life of a law enforcement officer is represented in John 15:13; “The greatest way to show your love for your friends is to give your life for your friends... how many people, outside the military, really give their lives for their friends?... and by the way it’s not their friends law enforcement give their lives for; it’s a stranger in almost every case.” He also drew from the Bible and a shared quote that police and military are "the barbed wire that separates the sheep from the wolves." Pastor Joe Champion
later emphasized how hard the life of a law enforcement officer can be—on a marriage and on children. He prayed from Nehemiah, that we will all take the example of officers and be the kind of people who don’t run or lose courage. Poe had great praise for the targeted messages and the gift of a tailored fourth service of the day from the Pastor. "Participation like that really speaks to me and we are already preparing for the next one." Chaplain Poe invited several elected officials to pray at the conclusion of the event and with Sheriff-elect Robert Chody, announced that in 2017, for the first time, the Sheriff's Department will institute a Chaplain's program.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2016 THE ADVOCATE
1st Annual Gunning for Justice The Williamson County Child Advocacy Center will soon begin it's 20th anniversary celebration. As a prelude to the big year, they held the first annual Sporting Clay Shoot-out at Reunion Ranch August 25. With the support of Minuteman Press, Sport Clips and many other local sponsors, 17 teams of four shot pigeons and enjoyed food, raffles, auctions and awards to help provide services and healing to abused children in the Williamson County community. Leander police officer Bobby Amidon took a pause between pulls; "I'm here because I'm an avid sportsman and love being out here with good friends. I have a history of working with kids and I know the good work the center does working with law enforcement across the state. Wishing them the best for all the years they've put in serving the community and for all the years to come." Executive Director Monica Benoit-Beatty was "We are excited to have community support to help our investigations of abused children. It's a way for the community to
come together in one place and I am confident that all of our participants will leave her much better educated on the services and benefits of the work that we do." State Representative Dr. Marsha Farney is a newly seated Board Member of the Advocacy Center; "The Advocacy Center makes such a difference and so many people are here from law enforcement, the judiciary; everyone is here from all walks of our county to make a difference in the lives of our kids. The event raised over $30,000 for the WCCAC. After this success, the next event is already planned for August 18, 2017. LaRue Tactical and City of Leander were the top teams and LaRue's August Crocker was best single shooter. The WCCAC has many events planned over the next year to continue that awareness and educate the public about the need for support, assistance and mental health care for abused children.

lo. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Samuel. I've been in the program for about three months now. I got here right when we began all the summer programs in June. At first I didn't want to participate in any of the activities like Crossfit—come on now, we do P.T. every morning. Boxing? It ain't nothing I can't learn on the street. Culinary? That's why God made cookbooks, right? These were some of the thoughts running through my head during the first couple of weeks. I wasn't thinking about how the county paid money to get us those programs or how people took time out of their day for me. And I sure wasn't thinking about how one man could've just said "no" and shut it all down. I was being ungrateful. Okay, I don't like to bring negative thoughts into a positive situation but let's face it, we are locked up.
So let me ask you a question. How many people do you know can honestly say while being locked up they got to go to a program like boxing or do Crossfit? I can't, to be honest. I know only a few people in the free who go do those things. There's only one thing I can say about the situation when I think about it—this is a blessing. You all didn't have to go out of your way to give us something to do instead of being in the facility all day. Y'all did it because y'all wanted to. Because y'all understand sometimes in life you make mistakes. You all go above and beyond in helping us recover from our mistakes and also give us advice on how not to make them again.
Sometimes you get knocked off the horse. The only thing I think matters is whether you get back on it or not. And for that I'd like to thank Commander Bijou, the Prevention Team, Admin, Academy Supervisors, the JSO, the residents and most of all, Miss Kristen. Thank you for your time.

Thinking Outside the Box The social media trend
has reached even into the sympathy business. You see the people who mean the most at births, weddings and funerals, right? Now, Georgetown has one of five nation-wide pilot programs for the Memorial. com message board and it is featured at Cook-Walden Funeral Home. "People take pictures all the time anyway," says Community Service Manager Elizabeth Quintero,"so now we can provide them a way to share live messages and photos at what is typically a reunion type of event." Like everything in the digital and social media age, commemorating a person’s life is growing ever full of creative and customized trends to move us away from the stereotype of the stern undertaker and a black-clad churchy burial and toward a celebration of life. Making a funeral or a memorial into a special, more personal event makes sense, and funeral directors know a great deal about planning special events. You have nine months to plan for a baby, most people plan a wedding for about a year, and a funeral—well, you have about four days. “We don’t want to just place an order for the items and services you think you’re supposed to have,” says Quintero. “There is no formula any more, we help you plan for an event in which you will be comfortable, surrounded by people you love.” To do this, staff spend time with a family to get to know their loved one and be surrounded by their things. Quintero will go through photos, talk about hobbies and create something special that guests will appreciate. “We want to encourage the perspective that enjoying yourself is not disrespectful or undignified. Commemorating each person’s relationship is a healthy way to mourn.”
So it’s no longer about which casket and what flowers on the sympathy tripod. Clients can still have those things, but if you prefer, you can have a barbecue or a garden party. Or have a casket with Longhorns painted on it. Was mom a cook? Instead of prayer cards with her name on it, guests receive a new spatula with mom’s name and years on it. Was dad a fisherman, how about a lure with his name on it? Did he play golf three times a week? That one is easy. At the Georgetown office, they have had bands, margarita machines, a cupcake bar, tractors; and requests for full participation in cowboy boots or Hawaiian shirts. Quintero says, “We want people to ask for the moon. I’ll often hear someone say something off-hand, like ‘He loved AC/DC. I wish we could play Hells Bells.’ So we did.” Just recently they had a service for a gentleman from New Orleans and had a jazz band funeral procession walk him to Oddfellows Cemetery. “You have to have a police escort, so there’s no reason not to do it in style,” she says. Kevin Hull, Executive Director of Cook-Walden, says, “It’s about engagement and participation. We did a service for a rancher in Liberty Hill who was known as ‘Reloader’ because he reloaded shotgun shells for everyone in the community. We brought all of his equipment here and made the place look like his workshop and everyone got a shotgun shell to take home as a memento.” There are several newwave trends in burials, like being folded up in a “green” sack and buried under a tree or have your urn placed in the ocean to build a reef. Quintero says, “You can do anything if you plan well in advance and follow the laws regarding scattering or in-ground
burial.” Most local funeral homes don't do everything themselves, but they will help you facilitate whatever you can think of. There are companies that will place your ashes in a functional firework or a special urn that will open and scatter them in the atmosphere. For that relative who always says “Don’t do anything for me…” you can do that too. A catered dinner at a funeral home (even months later), or a party room at a favorite restaurant—funeral directors function like concierges to help make that happen. They may also arrange low-cost travel related to closing an estate or other related events long after the service. They are celebrants who can speak to a person’s spirituality or religion or both or neither. Hull says, “We can read from the Bible, or a favorite poem, or a song lyric. We can do the service in a park just as easily as here in our building.” Hull and Quintero agree, people are so busy in their regular lives any more, and trying to do so much in a short time is difficult. The most important thing is for people to think about it ahead of time and either
write it down or tell someone so family will spend about 30 minutes planning, rather than several hours. “It’s easy to put this on the back burner but it’s really a gift you give your family. Planning something special in a matter of days in a time when they are emotional can be difficult and they may wonder if they should have done something different. So we will do everything and they can focus on each other.” Quintero says “We receive an emotional paycheck every day; becoming part of the family. We keep in touch, we try to make an impact and make sure people are taken care of in a vulnerable time.” The bottom line is Celebrate. Have Imperial Stormtroopers as pallbearers. Serve Big Macs. Give the guests cowbell mementos. Simply consider the truthfulness in the idea of thinking outside the box.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2016 THE ADVOCATE
Ok, and then what? Advocatie thinks Colin Kaepernick's actions are totally impotent. And no, I did not forget the "r". Not only is the sitting drawing attention away from the very issue he is protesting, I believe it will accomplish zero-point-nothing results. Here's why. A politician told me 20 years ago the way to deal with people who have a problem is to say, "Thank you; I see there is a problem. Now what do you see as a solution?" Simple right? Apparently not. The 49ers millionaire has drawn a big audience to his problem and gotten people to talk about the flag and the military and free speech and the NFL and how valuable his jersey is now. Whatever. I'm so tired of hearing about how much this country needs to change from people who aren't doing anything to make it happen. I can talk about dinner all day long but until I cook it, no one eats. I might have supported his free speech but then he wore socks to practice with pigs dressed as cops on them. At that point, hotshot, I don't care how much money you donate; you lost me. That just tells me, for you, it IS really about you and you have no concept of consequence. Colin said he waited to make this statement until he knew more about the issues. He must have missed Fellow Heather McDonald's report that crime is up 17 percent in 50 of our biggest cities because cops are afraid to do their job and be called racists. That's a consequence. Sooo, how about taking your big fat media presence and do something? Talk to kids about respect for the rule of law (which is, in fact, what cops of all colors work for), organize citizen groups for National Night Out next month. Just for starters. What? You're too busy playing football? Rosa Parks sat down because her problem was actually about sitting
down. She sacrificed her freedom for it. Colin, so far, has sacrificed nothing but a little negative public opinion, which, let's be honest, happens any time he loses a game. Sacrifice would be giving up football for his cause. That would make me pay attention again. And freedom of speech only guarantees the government can not punish him... it doesn't say I can't vilify him for it. Maybe I'll start sitting down during the anthem until people stop ambush-
ing cops. Law enforcement accidentally, negligently or necessarily kills twice as many white people as black but there are no organized protests or anthem sitters at NASCAR. I'll give him credit for bringing it up without the spark of riots or killings. And just this week he decided to donate his first $1 million to community organizations. I'll be waiting for those news stories and all of his "personal" participation. And really—his *first* million? So now he
has to share his helicopter with another family? Everyone is listening now but this attention to a man with no ideas is empty. Is he waiting for cops to promise not to shoot people? How about if he asks people to stop shooting cops. Or maybe tell suspects not to grab the officer's gun or not threaten the life of... anyone. Colin and friends, you have our attention, but you are wasting this 15 minutes by literally sitting down on the job.

Izzy has spent most of her young life confined and not able to burn off energy so this puppy needs to be taught basic manners and commands, although she does have a head start. Izzy is spayed, current on vaccines, chipped, and good with other dogs.

EDITORIAL CORNER
Ron Morrison: A Man of Character, Commitment & Compassion By: Mike Payne In this business we have become rather astute at discerning who people really are. It only takes a short time, but for rare circumstances, of being around someone and watching them to determine their character. Such is the case with Ron Morrison, whom Williamson County lost this week after a long illness. Seldom would I feel compelled to write about
someone that I have only met a handful of times. But, when you cross paths with an individual who has such unique qualities, you notice. To me, Ron was quiet, yet had a distinct twinkle in his eye; he gave a firm handshake that was accompanied by a gentle smile; and he always had a kind word for everyone. He was known for the driest sense of humor you’ll likely ever encounter. When Ron made me laugh, it was always a belly laugh. He was imposing in stature, but did not cast a shadow on those he was around. It has been said that concerning his political career, he was tireless, he was resolute, he was committed, and he was engaged. He knew the issues, and the complications that come with the politics that attend them; yet he conducted himself both professionally and personally in an orderly, measured manner. The Bible tells us in the
New Testament, John 14: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.” That, folks, is a promise that I believe would bring a smile to Ron’s face. Maybe his smile was just a small glimpse of glory. Isn’t it funny what we see in hindsight? May God be with his family at this time; may He offer them an extra measure of His grace and strength; and may others see Christ through this difficult time of grief for his family and friends. For it is in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus, that we ask these things. Amen.

Eagles, Patriots Win GHS Faces Hutto Test By Galen Wellnicki Sports Editor
Hutto, fresh from winning a mythical Bryan city championship by pounding both Bryan (59-28) and Rudder (41-0) in its two non-district games, will challenge Georgetown, also 2-0, in the District 19-5A opener at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Hippo Stadium. The Eagles, who are ranked in the second 10 of most 5A polls, and Hippos, No. 22 in one poll, are expected to light up the scoreboard in a contest that could carry major playoff implications by the end of the season. The winner will have a foot up in the battle to be among the top four finishers in the nine-team alignment after the first weekend in November. As a team, coach Steve Van Meter's Hippos are averaging 50 points and 457.5 yards a game, while GHS is producing 44.5
points and 396 yards a game. Many observers feel that game could become a dual between Eagles senior quarterback Chandler Herman and his counterpart Chase Griffin, a sophomore. Both have strong receiving corps. Herman has completed 50 of 69 passes for 580 yards and seven touchdowns, including 424 yards in the season-opening 49-28 win over Fort Worth Brewer. In this past Friday's 40-17 win over Hays at Bobby Shelton Stadium in Buda, the Rebels cooled his production considerably with some unexpected defensive schemes. Griffin has found the range on 41 of his 61 attempts for 609 yards and six touchdowns. Statistically, the big difference appears GHS cont. on B4

The Drought Has Ended Patriots Claim First Win Over Georgetown East View Coach Kara Del Bosque, center, and her Lady Patriots Alexandra Stone (15), Ann Burke (3), Ashley O’Daniel (2), Devin Cavanaugh (4) and Rachel Wisian (14) celebrate their 16-25, 25-23, 25-23, 25-22 victory over Georgetown on Tuesday, Aug 30. It was the Lady Patriots’ first victory in the five-year series between the GISD rivals. See story on page B2.

After a crowd-pleasing first half that saw a combined 610 yards of total offense and 49 total points, the East View Patriots settled down in the second half to dominate the Waco University Trojans, 35-28, this past Friday at the Waco ISD Stadium. “We are relatively young and maybe didn’t take them as seriously as we should have in the first half,” Patriots head coach Rob Davies said. “At the half we talked about what we’d done in the off-season and the kids sort of committed to getting the job done.” In the first half, the Patriots gave up eight runs from scrimmage of more than ten yards. In the second half, they gave up only two. “We just didn’t tackle them,” Davies said of the Trojans' first-half offensive explosion. “It wasn’t anything we changed at halftime to get them stopped. We just did what we should have been doing the whole game. It was nothing magic—just
football!” With their record even at 1-1, the Patriots could be facing their toughest challenge of the young season at 7:30 p.m. Friday when they play Rouse (1-1) in their District 195A opener at the GISD Athletic Complex. The Raiders are coming off a 52-38 loss to 6A Round Rock Westwood after beating 6A Manor, 44-21, in their opener. What looked like the beginning of an easy game this past Friday started about three minutes into the contest when Patriot runner Zion Hester (a 5-foot-11, 175 pound sophomore) broke loose on a 35-yard jaunt up the East View sideline for the game’s first score. Hester finished with 143 yards on only 11 carries. Fellow sophomore Reed Honshtein added the extra point. The surprisingly resilient Trojans, who were in the process of losing their 28th consecutive game, responded with two quick touchdowns of their own.

East View Downs Georgetown In Four By Galen Wellnicki Sports Editor
Georgetown ISD sports history was made on the East View playing surface on Tuesday, Aug. 30. The Lady Patriots broke another barrier in their cross-town rivalry with Georgetown. After eight consecutive losses to the Lady Eagles in UIL championship competition, a spirited and efficient East View team posted a comeback 3-1 victory over GHS. The 16-25, 25-23, 25-23, 25-22 victory terminated four seasons of frustration and improved the Lady Patriots' District 19-5A record to 2-0. "I've been on varsity four years and this was the first time," said East View senior Madison Heald. "It was our biggest night. We finally did it— beat Georgetown. We played as a team and worked hard." "The girls have started to believe," said Kara Del Bosque, who has breathed new life into the program in her first season at the East View helm. "We accomplished something that had never been done before at East View. It gives us a good shot of confidence." East View's first of two open dates in 19-5A fell this past Friday— something that Del Bosque indicated was a good thing. "We've been playing straight through from the first of August," Del Bosque said. "It's coming at a good time." After the open date, East View, now 13-15 on the year, returned to district action this past Tuesday in a road game at Pflugerville Connally, before returning home to play fifth-ranked Rouse at 6:30 p.m. Friday and Hutto at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 13. Through its first three 19-5A matches, Rouse had not lost a set. GHS won the first set in a match in which the net seemed to take considerable punishment from errant serves. The Lady Eagles scored seven of eight points in one stretch to take control 19-10, putting the set away with a kill by freshman Emery Herman. Trailing 23-21 after an

ace by Georgetown's senior Camryn McGinnis, EV rebounded to score four consecutive points—punctuated by a kill by junior Katie Smith. In the third set, the Patriots broke out of a 22-22 deadlock, combining two GHS mistakes with a kill by senior Corrine Novak. It seemed only fitting on the night that the winning point came on a net serve. In the determining fourth set, East View again broke out of a late tie—21-21— to assert its will on the outcome of the match as it scored four of the last five points. Junior Rachel Wisian led the East View attack with nine kills with Novak and fellow senior Anne Burke adding eight and seven kills, respectively. Heald had 30 assists in addition to five kills. Novak and Wisian each had three blocks, and junior Devon Cavanaugh paced the defensive chart with 16 digs. Herman and McGinnis each had nine kills for the Lady Eagles with Herman also having six aces. Junior Lauren Stofle had 21 assists. Junior Hannah Fontenot had three blocks, and senior Georgia Quiroz had 18 digs. After a Wednesday practice that, reportedly, was
memorable for some and not so memorable for others, Georgetown rebounded to punch out Pflugerville Connally, 3-0 (25-4, 25-4, 25-8) this past Friday. With rally scoring, that's pretty close to what was once known as a skunking. In that Friday matchup at Eagle Gym, GHS had a robust hitting percentage of .333 and scored 13 aces. McGinnis led the Lady Eagles with six kills, two aces, two blocks and seven digs. After roughing up the Lady Cougars, the Lady Eagles, 1-1 in district and 14-16 for the season, faced a critical three-game stretch. They were home to play state-ranked Rouse this past Tuesday night and then took to the road to play Hutto at 5:30 p.m. Friday and 12th-ranked Cedar Park on Tuesday, Sept. 13.

GHS Shines In Pro-Fit Meet
By Galen Wellnicki Sports Editor
In most ways Friday's Pro-Fit Invitational at Wilson Park in Temple was a good morning for runners from Georgetown and East View. In team competition, coach Andrew Braun's Georgetown Eagles swept the varsity and junior varsity team championships by one-sided margins, and East View's girls finished ahead of the GHS Lady Eagles in the girls varsity race, using team balance as the difference-maker. Individually, Georgetown athletes— junior Jazmin Hernandez and senior Jonathan Parks—took second in both 5,000-meter varsity races. Lady Eagles senior McKenzie Hargrove and Eagles sophomore Carter Smith took fifth in their varsity event. It was a challenging course made slightly more intimidating with the continual pop of weapons wielded by nearby dove hunters just off the fringe of the park. In fact, the boys varsity race actually started through a combination of a hunter's pop and an entrant falling over the starting line. Placing its first five runners among the top 11 finishers, GHS posted a 28-52 margin over Austin Westlake which had the dominant individual winner in Matthew Kearney. College Station A&M Consolidated was third in the 18-team field with74 points. East View was 10th with 252 points. To say Kearney was dominant is an understatement. He won by 53.60 seconds with a time of 16 minutes, 4.20 seconds over Parks, who won his duel down the finish chute with Concordia's James Kenyon by .60 of a second. Parks' time was 16:57.80. Smith with a 17:10.09 led a parade of five other GHS runners that finished in the top 13 of the overall standings. He was followed by Dan Arnold, sixth in 17:26.70; Mason Motakef, seventh in 17:29.80; Kaya Ignacio, 12th in 17:56.80; and Tristan Raum, 13th in 18.80. East View placed one runner in the top 10 as Guillermo Carrillo was eighth with a 17:30.00. "I tried to catch up to the first guy (Kearney) in the first mile, but then I decided
not risk anything and go for second," Parks said. "(At the finish) I used everything I had to beat the Concordia runner. . . . I would have liked to have had a faster time," As for his progress in his first two meets of the campaign, Parks, who won the previous week at Vista Ridge, answered that he wasn't completely satisfied. He credited Braun's goal of having the team run as group with its second consecutive victory of the season. Braun was concise in his critique, "I'm happy, that was good." "We had a couple disappointments, but the kids didn't quit fighting," East View boys coach Michael Burton said. "It was a tough course with 90-degree turns, hills and high grass." In the girls team chase East View finished fifth with 120 points, and Georgetown was sixth with 146 points in a competition in which the top four teams finished within 13 points of each other. Round Rock McNeil took the title with 78 points and Brenham was second with 81, ahead of Belton with 90 and A&M Consolidated with 91. Belton's Brooke Gilmore ran the 5,000 meters in 19:08.30 for a one-sided win over Hernandez, who came in with a 19:25.10— 44.40 seconds ahead of the third-place girls. Hargrove's fifth-place time was 20.20.80. "I'm happy I got second, but I feel I could have gotten first," Hernandez said. "I started in first, but she (Gilmore) passed me during the second mile. I tried keeping up." Despite two top-five individual efforts, the difference between the Lady Patriots and Lady Eagles was team-balance. Georgetown's third finisher was 43rd overall, while all five of East View's runners finished between 15th and 36th overall with Mia Rowe, Lily Rodriguez and Isabella Vane finishing in a cluster—15th, 16th and 18th, respectively. "It was a good strong run for us," East View girls coach Sarah Burton said. "I couldn't ask for anything more. The girls have been working hard. We asked them to run as a pack and they finished a lot closer together." "We're still trying to find the right five," GHS coach

Kellye Richardson said. "I felt we could have run better. We need to be closer together at the finish, and we need people to knock a minute to 90 seconds off their times. We've got work to do. I did think Jazmin ran well. McKenzie wasn't used to the thick grass." In the 5,000-meter JV boys division, GHS bested Westlake, 26-60, with Ben Whittemore (17:37.40), Daniel Sawyer (18:23.900 and Cole Zubek (18:31.90) sweeping the second through fourth positions. East View was fourth as a team with 117 points with sixth-place Alvin Gusman (18:50.80) leading the way. Georgetown and East View finished third and sixth, respectively, in the girls two-mile JV division with 117 and 133 points. The Lady Eagles' Alex Medina was the only top 10 finisher from the GISD, taking seventh in 15:20.80. In action this week, Georgetown will run at the St. Andrew's Invitational in Austin on Saturday, and East View will be at the Liberty Hill Invitational.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2016 THE ADVOCATE
GHS FROM PAGE B1 on defense where the Hippos have a decided edge, allowing just 14 points and 162.5 total yards a game. The Eagles are allowing 22.5 points and 312.5 yards a game. In the opener with Brewer, the Bears ran for 277 yards and passed for a negative 2, while the Rebel ran for just 83 and passed for 267. "It's the first district game and very important," GHS coach Jason Dean said. "Hutto is another tough place to play. It's a one-school community and the people support their Hippos. "Offensively they would like to pass about 80 percent of the time and they'll spread receivers all over the field. They have a good quality quarterback. "Defensively, they use a 4-2-5 with a strong linebacker (Austin Olson) and a pair of big physical bookends on the line (6foot-5, 240-pound Ondario Rodinson and Jonathan Mitchell)." Looking back at last Friday's battle at Hays in which the Eagles led only 20-17 at the half, Dean said, "That's one of the toughest places to win. But it serves us well in preparation for this week's game in an unfavorable environment. "Our coaches made some major adjustments at halftime and our defense played well in the second half." At halftime, the Rebels, who fell to 1-1, owned a 223-110 edge in total offense and appeared to have grabbed the momentum. They had held Herman to just 68 yards on nine completions and an interception in 15 passes. "They did some things in pass defense that we hadn't seen and weren't prepared

for," Dean said of the drop in aerial production. All-state kicker Luiz Diaz got GHS on track in the third quarter with field goals of 35 and 42 yards to jump the lead to 26-17, and then the Eagles added a pair of touchdowns in the fourth period on a 12-yard pass from Herman to Caden Leggett and a 5-yard run by Michael McDonald. Diaz added his third and fourth extra points of the game. "Those field goals in the third quarter were big for us," Dean said. Hays got inside the GHS 10 late in the game, but a 13-yard sack of quarterback Tyler Conley and a holding penalty on the next play took the sting out of a drive that reached the Georgetown 7 only to be pushed back to the 30 in two plays. Georgetown had jumped to a 13-0 advantage in the first quarter as Herman, who also led Eagles' rushers with 61 yards on 15 carries,
scored touchdowns on runs of 1 and 5 yards. Diaz kicked the point after the first score. The Eagles and Rebels traded touchdown passes in the first six minutes of the second quarter. Hays quarterback Gentry Brawith completed a 55-yard scoring pass to Pat Guerrero, the longest scrimmage

play of the game, and GHS rebound with an 8-yard toss from Herman to Nic Crombie to make the score 20-7 in favor of Georgetown. However, the Rebels charged back to make it a 3-point difference at the half as Marco Montoya toed a 30-yard field goal with two minutes and 46 seconds remaining in the
half, and Conley completed an 8-yard scoring toss to Guerrero before the popcorn and potty break. Herman accounted for 217 of Georgetown's yardage with his arm and feet, while Brawith passed for 156 and ran for another 31 for Hays. After watching the video, Dean praised Kyle Urbanovsky for a blocked punt that set up Diaz's second field goal; senior Harrison Schuler for his play in the offensive line; and junior Trace Glanville for his efforts in the secondary which caught the attention of Hutto scouts in the press box. The same scouts also kept close tabs on receiver, returner, defensive back Caden Leggett during the game. Georgetown middle linebacker Matt May was assisted off the field early in the fourth period with what Dean called "a (right) lower limb" injury." On Saturday,
Dean said that May's situation would be determined later in the week.

Hester scored his second touchdown of the game with 5:41 remaining in the third. With twelve seconds remaining in the third, Patriots' senior quarterback Cameron Nowell (8 of 15, 88 yards and a score) threaded a beautiful pass in the right corner of the end zone to receiver Marcus Maldonado from 17-yards out.

what was to be his third and final touchdown of the night with two minutes left in the quarter. It was a 29-yard run.After only 12 minutes of play, University led 21-14. As second quarter play began, the Patriots finally got a defensive stop on the Trojans when Ward was stopped at the EV 9 on a fourth-and-3 play. Davis promptly ripped off his 91 yarder to tie the score. The 91-yard run was the longest run from scrimmage in the short history of East View football. Honshtein kicked the extra point.

HSU Rallies Past SU
Pirates To Host McMurry War Hawks At 7 p.m. Saturday By Galen Wellnicki Sports Editor
The 10th-ranked Hardin-Simmons Cowboys had considerable trouble remaining in the offensive saddle in the first half against Southwestern University in the season opener for both schools Saturday night at the GISD Athletic Complex. But the 'Pokes tightened up the cinches and dug in the spurs to overcome a 3-0 deficit to take a 26-3 victory from the Pirates, who are in
the fourth season of building a Division III record. It was a far cry from H-SU's 77-6 victory over the Pirates last season in Abilene as coach Joe Austin's Bucs showed the foundation for a much improved team. "I think we did some good things against a good team," SU coach Joe Austin said of a game with an opponent that will be an American Southwest Conference rival next season when the Pirates upgrade in football from the Southern
Collegiate Athletic Conference. "We hit their quarterback (senior Ryan Breton) more than he's been hit before and probably will be hit this year. Their offense remained on the field in too long in the second half and our defense got worn down." On the night, Hardin-Simmons ran 14 more scrimmage plays than Southwestern, outgaining the Pirates 355 yards (145 rushing and 210 passing) to 222 yards (71 rushing and

151 passing). After a scoreless first quarter, Southwestern took the lead with a 37-yard field goal by freshman Luke Fierst that ended a seven-play, 66-yard drive with twelve minutes and 25 seconds remaining in the first half. However, Breton completed the first of three touchdown passes to sophomore Reese Childress to give the Cowboys the lead for good --a 24-yarder with 2:08 to play before halftime. Reed Shillingburg kicked his first of three extra points. Hardin-Simmons added 10 points in the third quarter with a 25-yard field goal by Tyler Smith and a 41-yard toss from Breton. The Cowboys capped the evening with a 46-yard reprise from Breton to Childress and a safety when Garrett Martin blocked a punt out of the end zone with 1:22 remaining in the game. The 46-yard scoring toss to Childress was the longest scrimmage play of the contest. Breton led all ground-gainers with 207 yards as he completed 16 of 37 tosses with one interception by SU junior Nik Kelly. Five of his passes were caught by Childress for the three touchdowns and 119 yards. Senior Bryan Hicks led SU with 148 yards of total offense—151 passing on 19 completions in 32 passes and had a net loss of three yards on 14 carries. SU senior safety Aaron Robinson led both teams with 12 tackles. Two former Georgetown High School defensive linemen saw action as freshmen for the Cowboys. In fact, Hunter Creasey recovered an SU fumble by Jahmaal Dumes at the H-SU 46 midway through the fourth period. His former GHS teammate Cole Northcutt was credited with one tackle. "It was a family celebration," Creasey said of his return to his old high school field. "It felt great. I made a lot of plays here in high school and it was nice to make another one here tonight. "It was what we call a twist play. I just fell on the ball. I didn't expect a lot of Pirates cont. on B7
With two wins Saturday 16th-ranked Southwestern volleyball had a perfect weekend to begin the season, 4-0, at the Puget Sound Premiere in Washington. The Pirates outscored their four opponents 12 sets to four, beating No. 8 Carthage, 3-2, and Puget Sound, 3-1, on Friday and Vassar, 3-1, and Pacific Lutheran, 3-0 on Saturday. Southwestern setter Nikki Welch was named the event's Most Outstanding Player, and right side Katie Mitchell and middle hitter Piper Sisemore were placed on the all-tournament team along with Welch. This coming Friday and Saturday, the Pirates will take their perfect record on the road to San Antonio for the Trinity Invitational. They will face Whitworth at 3 p.m. and Mary Hardin-Baylor at 5 p.m. on Friday. On Saturday, SU will play Pacific Lutheran at 10:30 a.m. and Whittier at 3 p.m. The Pirates will play Our Lady of the Lake in a non-conference match on Tuesday, Sept. 13, at the Robertson Center: Coach Don Flora on the tournament: Overall: "Kate Mitchell was a "go-to" attacker and our blocking and defensive effort got better as the match progressed. Nikki Welch proved again why she is one of the finest setters around. Her decision making and location made our rhythm so good." Carthage match: “It was huge to respond with confidence and some poise after set one versus Carthage, and it was even more important to respond with confidence and energy in the fifth set. Taking the match against an elite national program sets the tone for this era of Pirate volleyball." Puget Sound match: “Making a regional statement in UPS' home gym on a Friday night was huge. We had numerous people make plays that helped secure a valuable west region win.” Vassar match: “We took care of business verses a scrappy and competitive Vassar team. It was important to see us all learn and grown from this match.” Pacific Lutheran match: “The Pacific Lutheran match was a key regional battle. PLU is a very athletic and dynamic team that also defends at a high level. Winning in straight sets shows some resolve from these women. I was impressed with our low-error attacking the ball and quality serving.” Before embarking on their trip to the Puget Sound Premiere in Washington, Shandong out of China dominated SU, 3-0 (25-13, 25-10, 25-8) in an exhibition match on Wednesday, Aug. 31, at the Robertson Center. The Chinese junior team had a hitting percentage of .597 compared to the Pirates' .060. Shandong made only two hitting efforts, while SU had 20. Ligi Song led the touring team with 12 kills, nine digs and three blocks. Mitchell led the Pirates with nine kills, while Haley Moffett added four kills on five attempts. "Competing against an elite volleyball team like
SU REPORT Shandong (China) is a fantastic opportunity for our program," Flora said. "This match showed us how to take care of the small things. We need to be able to take care of the little details of each point. Also, this showed us that when someone makes a great play, you need to answer that type of volleyball with a great play of your own." MEN'S SOCCER: A Mary Hardin-Baylor goal in the 81st minute despite SU controlling the half was the demise of the Pirates as they fell 1-0 in Belton on Saturday night, evening the Bucs' record at 1-1 after their season-opening 3-1 victory over Concordia at home on Thursday. Southwestern kicks off a five game home stand on Friday as they host UT Dallas at 7:30 pm. They also will play Hardin-Simmons at 7:30 p.m. Saturday and then open Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference action against Texas Lutheran at 7 p.m. Tuesday. In the win over the Tornadoes before an estimated 800 fans, SU received goals from Ben Lucas, former Georgetown High School standout Andres Carreno -Mendez and Philip Nelson. Christian Lopez had two assists. "UMHB made an early save on Michael Oliveras (a fomer GHS standout) that seemed to spark them to life," Coach Don Gregory said. "The game was mostly contested in the midfield, but with 10 minutes to go UMHB took advantage of a little pocket of space to score the game- winner. We had a handful of good chances in response, but nothing was decisive." WOMEN'S SOCCER: Mary Hardin-Baylor took advantage of a rare Pirates' mistake to score the only goal of the game midway through the second half as SU dropped the first match of the year, 1-0, on Thursday in Belton. The Crusaders' Kathryn Parker scored the only goal in the match at the 68:01 mark. After numerous stray storms blew through Georgetown Sunday evening, the SU match against Concordia was postponed. The match will resume on Tuesday, Oct.18, at 7pm in Georgetown. The Pirates opened SCAC action against Texas Lutheran at home on Wednesday. On Friday they take the road for a 7 p.m. non-conference match with Texas-Tyler and then return home to play Howard Payne on Saturday. WOMEN'S CROSS COUNTRY: In the Pirate Opener on Thursday, Sept. 1, at San Gabriel Park, Brianna Timourian paced the Pirates with a fifth-place finish in the 5K race. She was timed in 22:40. Zainab Oketokoun placed ninth with a time of 24:10, while Trinh Ha's time of 24:58 was good for 11th. Veronica Pardo posted a 13th-place finish with a mark of 25:45.

FRESHMEN— Blue beat Buda Hays, 17-14, to remain unbeaten. Coach Jarrell Flores said: “A firsthalf touchdown run from Jacob Ramos started the game off and we closed the half with a 27-yard field goal from Matthew Diaz. The second half was entertaining, with a touchdown run of 65-yards from Roland Moreno. The defense went to work in the second half securing the win with a huge fumble recovery in the fourth quarter that allowed the offense to run the clock out and call it a night.”
