Above, the kick is up and the kick is good by Hereford’s Luis Loya as he connects on a 29-yard field goal late in the second quarter Friday to give the Whitefaces a 17-0 lead. Below, six plays later – four of which were three Plainview plays and a punt – Seth Dixon broke through tacklers off tackle, squirted into the clear and ran away for a 45-yard touchdown and 24-0 halftime lead.

With the flip of the calendar to October, the 2018 election season makes the turn down the homestretch to election day on Nov. 6.

While the national and state political landscape garners much of the attention in this mid-term election, it is issues – not races for office – that are the focal point of the election season in Hereford and Deaf Smith County.

Topping the local ballot come November will be a pair of items for voters to decide upon – one binding and one not.

The most impactful of the two is a $22.4 million bond measure being floated by Hereford Independent School District (HISD).

The bond is the third in as many years attempted

by HISD as it copes with growing needs concerning aging and deteriorating facilities.

The proposed measure is specifically for safety and security upgrades at six campuses ($15.7 million), and construction of a new fieldhouse at Whiteface Stadium and upgrades at baseball, softball and tennis venues.

The total is significantly less than bond issues resoundingly defeated in 2015 ($42.6 million) and 2017 ($45 million).

Should the bond be approved by voters, it would

Although it might have looked like the Hereford Independent School District (HISD) Board of Trustees was counting its proverbial chickens before they hatch, the board was actually casting a hopeful eye to the future.

In action during Monday’s regular meeting, trustees gave unanimous approval to a construction method for district facility improvements using bond funds that has yet to be passed.

HISD is floating its third bond issue in as many years – a $22.4 million measure – on the Nov. 6 general election ballot.

While determining a construction method for work using money that has yet to be voter approved appeared to be

jumping the gun, HISD Business Manager Rusty Ingram said the decision on a method was not needed at this point.

“You could still choose a method if you decide to not vote on it now,” he said during the meeting. “If you do approve a method, that way we’re ready to go if the bond is approved.

“We’re required to select a construction method, just like we did for Tierra Blanca. We would have to for the bond if it is approved.”

As with the December 2017 board meeting when Ingram detailed the five construction methods before trustees made a decision concerning the Tierra Blanca renovations, he briefly refreshed memories on the differences.

Each of the methods

King, queen

2018

Highlighting the festivities during Thursday’s pep rally following the annual homecoming parade was the crowning of Hereford High School homecoming king and queen for 2018. Taking the honors and reigning over Friday’s 37-0 romp past Plainview were, from left, seniors Tanner Frische and Aaliyah Johnson.

News FROM PAGE 1

– design and build, construction manager agent (CMA), competitive bidding, competitive sealed proposal (CMP), and construction manager at risk (CMAR) – had its advantages in the construction process, but four had cons outweighing pros.

Those four would have created instances where district involvement and influence ranged from virtually non-existent to too detailed and hands-on.

Among the five – of which Ingram noted design and build was “seldom used,” competitive bidding would “probably get the cheapest price” and competitive sealed proposal “allows for negotiation” – the construction manager at risk method using a one-step process was preferred.

“We have used this method in the past several years on projects,” Ingram said.

“We know the process and are comfortable with how it works. Most school districts used CMARs.” Of the five potential construction methods, the CMAR provided noticeably more advantages to disadvantages, according to Ingram’s presentation.

The most significant of those is a requirement the CMAR give the district a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) for the project.

result in an additional tax on property owners. The exact tax rate cannot be determined until the HISD Board of Trustees decides on either a 15- or 20-year term on the bond.

The non-binding issue on the ballot is arguably the most contentious.

Hereford residents will also let their opinion be heard on whether surplus city funds and fund balance money from Hereford Economic Development Corporation (HEDC) be used for the construction of a new civic center on West 15th Street.

Unlike the HISD bond, passage of the civic center funding referendum will not result in any additional tax or funding burden on the public.

The funding for the proposed $6.5 million center is set to come from unencumbered money both the city and HEDC has on hand.

Although under no legal obligation to abide by the outcome of a referendum vote and not under mandate to require voter approval on using such city or HEDC funds, city officials have said the fate of the civic center project will rest on the outcome of November’s vote.

Due to “push back” on the matter from citizens, officials noted on more than one occasion the project would be shelved if the referendum failed.

Beyond that, there are plenty of local races to be technically determined in the general election, but only one that is contested.

Eight local offices are the Nov. 6 ballot, but seven of those were effectively decided in the March Republican primary because the office had no Democrats filed to run.

GOP incumbents Jerry O’Connor (Precinct 2 commissioner) and Elaine Gerber (District Court clerk) ran unopposed to retain their offices, while incumbent Precinct 4 Commissioner Dale Artho survived a four-man primary and run-off to advance.

County treasurer Karen Smith won her primary, as did Rachel Garman, who won a three-person race for Deaf Smith County Clerk to oust incumbent Imelda DeLaCerda.

Incumbent District Court Judge Roland Saul ran unopposed, while assistant District Attorney Chris Strowd faced none and faces no challenge as he looks to attain the 222nd Judicial District District Attorney seat from a retiring Jim English.

The only local race challenged is that for Deaf Smith County Judge.

Seeking a second term, incumbent D.J. Wagner

“I like that this method provides a GMP,” Ingram said. “If costs go over that, the CMAR pays for it. If costs are lower, we can get reimbursed.

“We only have to pay what the GMP is.”

The method also keeps the district more involved in the bidding process and allows HISD officials to see all subcontractor bids.

In addition to the method providing a known timeline and maximum cost for construction, it is a more streamlined process for HISD in that school officials will only have to deal with the CMAR. The CMAR – not HISD – is responsible for dealing with all issues that may arise from subcontractors.

The lone noted disadvantage to the CMAR method is a possibility of slightly higher project costs than some of the others.

In a unanimous vote, trustees approved the CMAR method – as they had for the Tierra Blanca project.

“The good thing is the CMAR deals with all the issues we would have to under the other methods,” Ingram said. “This method is very transparent. We are even involved in bid opening.”

HISD officials noted the decision on a construction method was not an indicator of how the pending bond vote might turn out, but was done in an effort to facilitate the construction process if the bond is approved.

beat off a primary challenge and now faces Democrat Mona Hernandez in November for the seat.

Also on the local ballot will be state and national races for governor, lieutenant governor, state senator, state representative, U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives.

Early voting for the general election runs from Monday, Oct. 22-Friday,

Nov. 2.

Early voting, which is only available at Deaf Smith County Courthouse, will be open from 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Oct. 22-Oct. 31, and 7 a.m.-7 p.m. on Nov. 1-2.

Polls on election day, Tuesday, Nov. 6, will be open 7 a.m.-7 p.m., and all county voters are eligible to vote at any polling place regardless of where they reside.

Gubernatorial candidates square off in only debate

“How the mighty are fallen...” — 2 Samuel 1:25 Seeing Bill Cosby escorted from a courtroom in handcuffs this week was a long overdue reckoning for “America’s Dad,” who camouflaged his true nature with the wholesome mask of charm and wit that he wore so well. Cosby’s long fall from grace is particularly ironic considering the high moral ground he claimed in recent years, publicly lecturing the black community for their perceived failings. It has taken decades and the suffering of sixty-plus women for justice to be brought to bear, proving how tenaciously we cling to the reputations of our heroes, however flawed they may be.

Before Cosby embodied the relatable Dr. Cliff Huxtable, he was a platinum-selling creator of comedy albums featuring hilarious routines such as the classic conversation between Noah and God about building the ark. Remember, “Right...What’s a cubit?”

It’s nearly incomprehensible that the droll funnyman, beloved by America, was simultaneously preying on young women, plying his fame, wealth and image to gain their trust.

For decades, he got away with his crimes, acting with arrogant impunity.

ALL IN Kerrie Womble Steiert Like a comic book superhero, Cosby was bulletproof.

As a kid, I remember the best part of Mother’s regular shopping trip to Cooper’s grocery was spending our weekly allowance on the latest comic books, displayed on revolving metal racks near the store’s entrance. With our bubblegum and comics purchased, we escaped to the parking lot to hole up in the family station wagon, inhaling the dramatic adventures in Gotham and Metropolis. During the Golden Age of comics, we were primarily DC fans, thoroughly steeped in the colorful, inky lore of Superman, Batman, the Justice League and Teen Titans.

Today, so many superheroes populate the world of entertainment that it’s challenging to keep up with all their back stories, universes and relationships. Caped crusaders may have multiplied and found new platforms, but they’ve been a part of our pop culture since Mandrake the Magician debuted in 1934, four years before Superman leapt over the first tall building with a single bound. It wasn’t long before comic book heroes made the jump to lunch boxes, action figures, television series and movie screens. Superhero fandom has turned out to be a cash cow for DC, Marvel and Dark Horse who dominate the graphic novel market.

Even now as full-fledged adults, we think we know our heroes. It’s easy to forget that our one-sided relationship with a celebrity, star athlete or person of power is based on a carefully polished persona projected to portray them in the best light. Superstars tend to be gradually transformed, rarely in a good way, as they acquire notoriety and wealth. The rich and famous are often insulated from consequences because they’re surrounded by enablers and yes men. Like chameleons, celebrities are old world lizards who change their colors to thwart enemies and attract mates.

The roster of athletes and coaches who publicly flamed out in spectacular fashion is a lengthy litany of wasted talent and opportunity, including O.J. Simpson, Lance Armstrong, Joe Paterno, Oskar Pistorius, Michael Vick, Tiger Woods, Mike Tyson, Tonya Harding. Perhaps the reason so many of our fallen idols are athletes is because we build their altars so high. Plucked from obscurity, gifted athletes often seem illprepared for the fat paychecks and abrupt vault into the rarefied air of mega success and attention.

National disgrace can befall anyone in a position of power, including captains of industry, elected leaders and the clergy. The tragic disintegration of Richard Nixon’s political career is a bitter lesson in how hubris and paranoia can lead to gloomy exile.

The so-called King of Pop Michael Jackson died in the self-made, creepy shadows of scandal. Faulty “above the law” confidence has preceded arrests and some fairly unforgettable mug shots of A-list celebrities like Mel Gibson, Lindsay Lohan, Nick Nolte and Martha Stewart, to name a few.

Although due process may have been lost in some cases, the #Me Too movement has cut a deep swath through the reputations and livelihoods of movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, actor Kevin Spacey, newscasters Charlie Rose and Matt Lauer, politician Al Franken and CBS CEO Les Moonves. An endless pedophilia scandal continues to roil and rattle the Catholic Church with accusations of cover-ups escalating all the way to The Vatican. Even our favorite Prairie Home companion, Garrison Keillor, could not escape accusations of impropriety.

We invite heroes to seduce us, casting flawless spells through deftly-massaged public impressions. But the demands of artificial perfection can cost those very qualities that define our humanity and authenticity. People are poorly equipped to be idolized and the glittering trap of fame fails to be fulfilling. The pressures of living in a fishbowl, separated from ordinariness, take a toll. Stardom comes with sharp teeth to eat the soul.

AUSTIN – Gov. Greg Abbott and Lupe Valdez on Sept. 28 appeared together on television for 60 minutes in the only scheduled gubernatorial debate, a forum hosted by the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library and Museum on the University of Texas campus.

A Republican and former Texas attorney general, Abbott is seeking a second fouryear term as the state’s chief executive.

His challenger, Guadalupe “Lupe” Valdez, a San Antonio-born Democrat, held elected office as Dallas County sheriff from 2005 to 2017 and previously served as a senior agent and investigator for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, earlier as an agent for other federal agencies, and as a captain in the U.S. Army Reserve.

Abbott and Valdez voiced their positions on topics including education, property taxes, health care, immigration, border security, gun control, school camSTATE pus security and disaster CAPITAL management related to Hurricane Harvey. Abbott HIGHLIGHTS touted his record on each Ed Sterling topic and asked voters to stay the course and support him. Valdez said she would use the state’s $12 billion “rainy day fund” to speed up assistance to hurricane-stricken Texans. Valdez also said she would fund public education and health care programs at a much higher level, rather than devote state dollars to militarizing the Texas-Mexico border. Also, she said that as governor she would sign a “red flag law” to help keep firearms out of the hands of ill-intentioned individuals.

Both candidates said they would support legislation that increases access to medical marijuana and decreases the criminal penalty for possession of small amounts of marijuana for non-medical use.

Robert Hadlock of KXAN, the Austin NBCTV affiliate, moderated the forum in which the candidates answered questions from a panel of four journalists from Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio broadcast stations.

Registration hits new high As of last week, Texas had 15,624,871 registered voters, a new record, the state’s chief elections officer announced.

On Sept. 25 – National Voter Registration Day – Texas Secretary of State Rolando Pablos pushed for even more participation, inviting all eligible residents to ensure they are registered to vote ahead of the Oct. 9 voter registration deadline.

It was Pablos’ final call to action to voters, community leaders and elected officials to encourage fellow Texans to register and prepare to vote in the upcoming Nov. 6 election. He suggested that Texans check their registration status on the Texas Secretary of State’s “Am I Registered?” web page, and that those who have moved to a new address within the same county or have changed their name can update their information online.

Early voting will begin on Oct. 22 and end on Nov. 2. Voters with questions about how to cast a ballot in upcoming elections can call 1-800-252-VOTE. Abbott announces grant Gov. Abbott on Sept. 24 announced a $2 million grant to the Austin Community College District in partnership with The University of Texas and the U.S. Army.

The funds, Abbott said, are for the buildout of communication facilities supporting the new U.S. Army Futures Command in Austin.

The $2 million comes through the Defense Economic Adjustment Assistance grant program administered by the Texas Military Preparedness Commission, a part of the governor’s office that advises Abbott and the Texas Legislature on defense and military issues.

Abbott noted that he announced more than $50 million in grant awards to military installations across Texas over the last two state budget cycles.

Jobs increase in August The Texas economy added 32,000 seasonally adjusted non-farm jobs during the month of August, the Texas Workforce Commission announced in September.

Private-sector employers added 32,800 positions in August and Texas’ seasonally adjusted unemployment rate dropped to 3.9 percent, down slightly from 4.0 in July.

Also, the Workforce Commission stated, the increase marked 26 consecutive months of employment growth. Over the course of the year Texas added 394,500 jobs, for an annual employment growth rate of 3.2 percent.

The Midland Metropolitan Statistical Area recorded the month’s lowest unemployment rate among Texas MSAs with a not-seasonally adjusted rate of 2.2 percent, followed by the Amarillo and Odessa MSAs with rates of 2.8 and 2.9 percent, respectively. The Austin-Round Rock MSA recorded the fourth-lowest rate of 3.0 percent for August.

Fall symphony begins with the trumpet of arriving cranes

By Jim Steiert Contributing Writer

In these first days of fall it’s easy to anticipate the arrival of migrating flights of sandhill cranes that should be here soon this month, ducks that come on fronts, and geese that normally don’t really build in number until near Thanksgiving. This first-of-fall anticipation prompts a run-through of the mental checklist of things that should have been handled in the summer months but still need doing in preparation for a new hunting season.

It’s part of the perpetual motion, the rhyme and rhythm of seasons turning, that one will inevitably be engaged in work on camouflaging blinds or touching up paint on decoys on a crisp fall afternoon when the distant prehistoric bugling of the first high-flying sandhill cranes announces the return of the spiraling gray ghosts to the Plains. It is an Indian summer spectacle that forever calls back days of snapping ears of corn harvested from the sixteen rows of field corn planted in full half-mile rows for a roasting ear patch east of the house. This roasting ear patch produced far more than one family and neighbors could use for the table, and the ochre ears with their yellow kernels of dented grain

James Higgins places some of his corn shuck-adorned tamale blinds adjacent to classic G&H decoys on an afternoon goose hunt in a winter wheat field West of Hereford. Homemade blinds were a forerunner of today’s layout blinds.

Photo by Jim Steiert wrapped inside made up the stuff of cheap winter hog feed when piled high in a pair of picket cribs.

With the little Massey Ferguson 65 towing the trailer creeping along in low range, first gear, you could put the front tire in a water furrow and not worry that it would stray off course as you walked alongside the tractor running on “autopilot” and picked corn in company with neighbor kids recruited as a work crew from down the road.

In the warmth of the afternoon the cries of cranes would come to our ears. Since it was almost impossible to spy them with neck-craning upward glances—and since mid-afternoon drowsiness sometimes weighed

the eyelids, I would step up on the platform and stop the poking-along tractor so that we could all pile atop the heaped corn in the trailer to sprawl, resting our backs, hands behind our heads, comfortably atop the shuck-encased bounty. From this pose we searched the thin-clouded azure realms above for fall’s symphony players sounding their trumpet calls of evolution as they floated lazily across their upper realms. Fall sounded then, and still does now, of the rustle of corn leaves stirred by autumnal breezes and the bugling of thermal riders gliding south.

Fall and preparing for waterfowl and crane season seems always closely

tied to corn. Once the combines get rolling for corn harvest, even more so. The aftermath of corn harvest calls back times when our goose hunting fraternity included Trow Mims, Hap Cavness and James Higgins. We would search harvested corn fields for intact corn shucks, somewhat similar to what might be used to wrap tamales. Ours was not with the purpose of dining embellishment in mind, but for concealing our throwback goose blinds that were pioneered by Higgins, long before today’s cushy layout blinds came along.

Higgins evolved a device with rebar to hold it steady and serve as a throwback handle. The covering small mesh net-

ting was ordered from the thick and tip-filled Herter’s hunting and fishing gear catalog that predated the Cabela’s and Mack’s Prairie Wings offerings of today. Higgins devised the idea of covering the netting with corn shucks. Hunters would lie beneath the rig, either on a tarp, or the bare ground, and be covered head to toe, peering through the netting as geese approached the decoys. I soon learned to bring along an old throw pillow to support my head and reduce the strain of craning the neck to look around. The rigs worked, so well, in fact, that we literally had geese land at our feet. Ideally, after the hunt, you simply folded

the blind carefully, and it stored away neatly in the decoy box.

We of the goose fraternity were of the mind that if a few corn shucks were good, more was better, and we worked, in evening garage settings, on strung-up batches of netting, attaching abundant camouflage with thin florist’s wire. Naturally, working with corn shucks, we came to call them “tamale blinds.”

Now, I work to conceal new blinds with stuff called “Killer Weed” or simply Prairie Grass blind covering that is tied in bundles to the attachment straps of today’s modern blinds, either throwback or layout. Zip ties have replaced the finger poking florist wire, but time and effort are still required to create effective concealment.

As always, what should have been summer work gets put off into early fall days.

Maybe it is procrastination—or maybe it is because the work goes better with the music of bugling cries of arriving cranes sounding in the ear, and the thought that skeins of migrating geese can’t be far behind. Thus, it is high time to make ready.

Tip of the Day Entertaining in a pet-friendly home Pet lovers often find their companion animals to be the center of their worlds. Data from the ASPCA says approximately 44 percent of all American households have a dog and 35 percent have a cat. Similarly, the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association, in partnership with Hill’s Science Diet, found that roughly 35 percent of Canadian househ o l d s have a dog, while 38 percent have a cat.

about pets and then make accommodations based on their responses.

Cats and dogs are cherished family members, earning gifts and premiere spots for lounging around the house. But even in pet-friendly homes, certain concessions may need to be made when entertaining. And don’t forget about safety in regard to your pets, who may be frightened by the noise and commotion when guests arrive.

· Clean up well.

For guests who suffer from pet allergies, having animals around can be uncomfortable. Placing pets in another room and using a HEPA vacuum to go over carpets, upholstery and drapes may help tame the dander and fur that can trigger reactions among people who are allergic to pets.

· “Party animals”: Many animals are right at home during parties, while the sights, sounds and aromas may cause anxiety in others. For pets known to be a bit skittish, establish a safe haven for them away from the festivities.

Keep the room as dark and quiet as possible, and include comfort items. · Know your guests. Some people enjoy playing with others’ pets, while others may be more hesitant around animals. Ask guests how they feel

· Pet behavior: If yours is a boisterous puppy who loves jumping up on others, or a cat that can’t resist napping on guests’ laps while seated on the couch, he or she may need to sit the party out.

Pets that behave well and know how to stay quiet may be better suited to hang out during the festivities.

· Food and escape routes: Pets may try to eat party food that can be toxic to them. Guests will need to throw away scraps instead of leaving them out where items can be consumed by curious pets. Also, advising guests to exercise caution when entering and exiting the house can prevent nervous pets from escaping into the neighborhood.

Pet owners need to consider their pets’ demeanors before entertaining guests at home.

In winning their third in a row, fourth in the last five matches and 10th of the past 13, the Lady Herd improved to 16-20 overall and 2-0 in league.

After taking the first set in a 25-20 final, the Lady Whitefaces chased that with wins of 25-11 and 25-15 to close out the Lady Tornadoes.

Middle hitters Carmen Flood and Taytum Stow again led the Lady Whiteface attack with Stow notching a 12 kills and Flood 11.

Darcy Dodd added 8 kills to the effort with Rainey Aven chipping in 5 and Beth Sanchez finishing with 4.

For the third time in as many weeks, the Hereford Whitefaces won a homecoming football game, but this time they delighted the home crowd with a 37-0 romp Friday past visiting Plainview.

With their fourth straight victory, the Herd is now 4-1 on the season. The Bulldogs dropped to 1-4.

“We played solid across the field,” Hereford coach Don DeLozier said. “We made some big plays on special teams, and the defense played extremely well.

“I am proud of the way the offense executed and put the ball in. They did what they should and took advantage of the opportunities presented.”

The big special teams plays came on back-to-back Plainview possessions in the first quarter and effectively decided the game.

Dropping back to punt at their own 48 after a second three-and-out to open the game, the Bulldogs faked it with a direct snap to upback and starting tailback Andrew Villa.

Whitefaces Tyler Scoggins and Orion Ramirez stopped him short to give

Our lesson series,"Key Words for Living," continues this Sunday as Pastor Danny Mize addresses FORGIVENESS. Some of the points he will share with us include: "He Paid My Debt In Full!" "What About Forgiving Others?" and "Forgiveness Comes Because God Forgave Me!" Our music will reinforce the theme, as Peggy Mize leads us in singing: "Cleanse Me, Search Me O God" "People of God" and "He Paid A Debt He Did Not Owe." Cindy Cassels will play piano accompaniment.

Dennis Hicks will lead our 9:00 a.m. adult Bible study – the last session in the new series, "Gods At War."

spotlight.

In holding the Bulldogs to three-and-outs on eight of their 10 possessions, the Whiteface defense did not allow a first down until 2:00 before intermission.

With only 3 first downs for the game, the Bulldogs were limited to just 96 total yards – 90 on 41 rushing attempts, and 6 on 1-of-6 passing – that included only 38 in the first half.

“The defense played very well,” coach DeLozier said.

“They are playing fast, sure and physical. Those three things make for good defense.”

The Herd hit the road for another long trip Friday when they visit Andrews.

Kickoff is 7 p.m.

Sanchez, Hannah Wood and Aven also recorded a dig apiece.

The Lady Whitefaces returned home to continue district play after press time Tuesday when they hosted Levelland.

They complete the first run through the district on Saturday when they travel to Canyon for a 1 p.m. match.

Something has to give Friday in Andrews

By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor

The old football adage is that defense travels well.

The Hereford Whitefaces are hoping there is truth in that when they board the bus Friday for a visit to Andrews.

“They are explosive on offense,” Hereford coach Don DeLozier said. “They have a quality quarterback, good wide receivers and running backs, and a solid offensive line.

“They also have good size on defense.”

The Mustangs have not worried too much about defense through the first half of the season with an offense that is averaging 50 points per game.

In racing to a 5-0 record, Andrews scored 52 against Lubbock Cooper, 36 against Monahans, another 42 against Levelland and 48 against Snyder before hanging 72 on El Paso Mountain View last week.

“They do a lot of runpass option,” DeLozier said. “They present a new challenge. We haven’t faced anyone who puts the ball in the air as much as they do. They also like to play fast.”

Hostile Herd (4-1) VS.

Andrews Mustangs

(5-0)

When: Friday Where: Andrews Kickoff: 7 p.m.

That can mean one of two things for an opposing defense – fatigue if it can’t get off the field or very short possessions if stops can be made.

While the Mustangs trot a prolific offense onto the field, the Herd will counter with a defense that is improving on a weekly basis.

In posting its second shutout of the season last week – and second in the past three games – the Whitefaces are only allowing 10.4 points per game.

In fact, the unit surrendered more points in the season-opening loss to Caprock (28) than it has in the four games since combined (24).

In addition to holding Plainview scoreless last week, the Herd defense allowed only 96 total yards and just 3 first downs.

Bolstered by its defense going in, the Whiteface offense could also have a leg up.

With Seth Dixon leading a bruising rushing attack, the Herd passing game is being honed with starting QB Dodge DeLozier fully recovered from a pre-season injury that kept him out of the first two games.

“They do a lot of things in their 3-4 defense that we have seen from others,” coach DeLozier said.

“The match-ups along the offensive line will be very important for us.

“The ability to execute on offense and take advantage of what is given is the sign of a good offense.”

The Herd offense has been gaining momentum throughout the season.

With its lowest output (20 points) coming in the opening loss, the Whitefaces have not scored fewer than 27 points since with three games seeing 33 or more on the board.

For the season, the Herd is averaging a healthy

32.8 points per game.

The potential plus is the Mustang defense has given up 26 or more points in four of the five games and is allowing 30.8 points per game.

“This is a big game because it is the next one on the schedule,” DeLozier said. “We want to win all our games, but we also understand we want to be playing our best ball in Weeks 8, 9, 10 and beyond.

“We respect all our opponents, but we don’t fear them.”

Kickoff for Friday’s game in Andrews is 7 p.m.
