AMARILLO – The Canyon Eagles were snared early, methodically squeezed and stuffed to join a porcupine and steer in the 2018 postseason trophy case of the Hereford Whitefaces after Friday’s 14-3, Class 4A Division 1 Region 1 semifinal victory at Dick Bivins Stadium.

Winning for the fourth straight week, the Herd improved to 9-3 – the first ninewin season since 2010 – and moved to state Elite Eight for only the fourth time in school history.

“Our guys played a great game,” said Hereford coach Don DeLozier, whose team is making the deepest playoff run of his 15-year tenure.

“We didn’t score as much as we would have liked, but we maintained possession to keep the ball away from their offense.

“The defense also played very well. They made the stops when needed.”

When an annual trip to Liberal, Kan., for a basketball tournament during the first week of Decembers fell through, Hereford Whiteface coach C.J. Villegas was left scrambling to fill a hole.

The result was a decision that rather than find another tournament to play in, the Herd would host one.

Subsequently, the inaugural Hereford Classic tips Thursday and runs through Saturday as eight teams play through a roundrobin format.

“After we lost the Liberal tournament, we thought about it and decided to host [a tournament],” Villegas said. “We first thought about doing six teams, but too many of those interested in playing were district foes and didn’t want to play each other in a tournament.

“It was hard to get some of the Amarillo schools because they have already started district play, but it turned out to be a good field. Everyone will get a chance to see some really good high school basketball.”

Classic play begins noon Thursday in Whiteface Gym when Pampa and Seminole tip.

The Whitefaces take on the Lubbock Titans at 1:30 p.m., with Seminole facing Odessa at 3 p.m., and Randall meeting Pampa at 4:30 p.m.

The evening session features a 6 p.m. tilt between Borger and the Lubbock Titans before the Herd faces Monahans to close the day PLEASE SEE CLASSIC | 3

The Hereford BRAND was established in February 1901

Mary "Frances" Cowley was born on July 26, 1924 in Cairo, Ill., to Walter and Maxie Neighbors Means. She moved to Oklahoma at the age of 4.

She graduated from Ocina High School as valedictorian in 1943.

She worked in a smalltown cafe, when a good-looking young man ordered a cup of coffee. She refilled his cup several times and finally he asked her, "May I take you home?" Thus, began a courtship which led to a marriage on Aug. 10, 1943 that lasted 68 years.

They moved to Earth in 1949, then in 1965 to Hereford. She was a farmer's wife and substitute teacher for 19½ years. Her main role in life was a devoted wife, mama and grandma. She was a member of the First Baptist Church. She loved music, poetry, singing and all of us.

Favorite Bible verse: John 14: "Let not your heart be troubled, ye believe in God believe also in me."

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband "Buddy"; son Charles; and daughter Carolyn. She is urvived by son Denis Cowley and wife Doris of South Padre Island; seven grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; and one son-in-law.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to Samaritan Hospice, 426 Main St, Hereford, TX, 79045.

P.S.: For those of you that knew my mother, she wrote her own obituary to make sure no survivor might mess it up.

tips in the main gym between Hereford and Randall, and in the back gym between Seminole and Lubbock Titans.

The Classic winds down Saturday with a 9 a.m. game between Randall and Monahans before Borger and Seminole meet at 10:30 a.m., and Pampa and Lubbock Titans play at noon.

The Herd closes out play with a 1:30 p.m. tip against Odessa.

As a classic instead of a true VILLEGAS tournament, no champion will be crowned.

However, a most valuable player and 16-member, all-tournament team will be selected with each school guaranteed two all-tourney selections after having played the five classic games.

“This is a chance for us to gain some more experience and everyone to see some good basketball,” Villegas said.

Top marchers Leading the HHS Mighty Maroon as Marchers of the Week for Week 7 of the season were Shylee Elis, Hayden Parson, Matlin Mimms and Ramon Gonzalez. The Mighty Maroon recognizes top performers each week during the football and performance season.

OPINION

Lumbering Debt

Former U.S. President dies Nov. 30 at age 94

Some debts are fun when you are acquiring them, but none are fun when you set about retiring them.

– Ogden Nash According to Coin Community, $50 in pennies weighs about 25 pounds, depending which years the coins were minted. A conservative estimate of $40,000 in pennies tips the scale at 20,000 lbs. or 10 tons.

The average cost of a new mid-sized car is $33,500 (16,750 lbs. of pennies). When you add a $100,000 home mortgage (50,000 lbs.) and $40,000 in student loans (20,000 lbs.), it's no surprise that the lower and middle classes are staggering to stay upright.

America's money IQ is stunning in our failure to understand the relationship between income and spending. We're doing a wretched job of demonstrating or teaching our kids about the origins of assets (how to earn), essential money management and responsible borrowing. But when it comes to buying, our youth are whiz kids. There's a widening disconnect between earning and having. That's a recipe for personal financial disaster.

There's an ongoing epiALL IN demic of borrowers who Kerrie Womble Steiert fail to grasp the reality that a blizzard of bills is on the horizon. Banks and creditors are happy to issue credit cards and make the process entirely too easy for uneducated applicants. Households with the lowest net worth hold a staggering average of $10,308 in credit card debt. In Texas, the average credit card debt per household is nearly $7,000.

Our chronic connection to media saturates us with advertising and product placement. We've gone from being exposed to about 500 ads a day back in the 1970's to as many as 5,000 a day today. As a society, we’re conditioned to fill our role as consumers of the hottest big-ticket, musthave possessions. Apple is betting that its devotees will line up to shell out $1,000 for the latest IPhone X because, according to the onslaught of ads, it’s all that and a bag of chips.

Corporations plaster their iconic logos on every available inch of flat surface, from parking stripes to postage stamps. "Public" venues—arenas, stadiums, ball parks and skating rinks—are wallpapered with advertisements. Professional fishermen (yes, really) and race car drivers become walking billboards for their sponsors. Even as private citizens, we subconsciously market name-brands when we invest in highpriced, signature products that we flaunt as status symbols. I'm dreading the day when national holidays get officially optioned by advertisers: Christmas, brought to you by Amazon.

College students are most vulnerable to the debt trap for several reasons, beginning with the fact that, from their perspective, the first twelve years of education cost nothing. They may have limited experience earning or handling money. College loans are painless to get and can remain forgotten for years. It is only after receiving that expensive sheepskin that a graduate realizes they are indentured slaves to student loans at a time when they can least afford it.

For academic year 2018-19, the undergraduate tuition costs at West Texas A&M University will be $8,484 for in-state students. Texas tuition and fees have soared 104.48% from last year. Since 2013, there’s been a $500 billion increase in outstanding student loans, accounting for 10 percent of America’s national debt.

Student loans and credit cards are absolutely last resort measures for investing in a higher education. College-bound students would be better off relying on scholarships, grants, CLEP classes, community college and part-time employment.

It's not only private citizens who are mired in debt. Our elected leaders regularly practice the very worst spending habits, burdening our children and grandchildren with the consequences. The colossal national debt has surpassed $20 trillion, more pennies than we can count, not to mention, lift. And yet, in spite of a supersized budget, we still cannot afford to repair our neglected roads, bridges and water mains.

A balanced national budget is as likely as a herd of flying pigs because every Congressman is obliged to protect those pet projects that are sacred for his/her district.

While we rise up with pitchforks and torches over budget pork in other states, we are addicted to the flow of federal dollars to our particular locale. We want budget cuts that impact the other guys, not us. Getting re-elected means delivering the bacon to the voters, even though the country is drowning in debt.

Debt is weight. If we had the experience of carrying our loans as pennies on our backs, maybe we'd have a better understanding of the hefty obligation we are signing up to bear when we borrow money.

The anchoring nature of indebtedness can sink any boat when it overwhelms the wind in our sails.

Living within our means may sound like a quaint ideal, but it’s preferable to a lifetime dragging a ton of coin.

AUSTIN – Gov. Greg Abbott on Dec. 1 issued the following statement on the Nov. 30 death of George Herbert Walker Bush, the 41st president of the United States: “The state of Texas mourns with the nation at the passing of one of our greatest presidents. George H.W. Bush was an American hero and icon, he was a friend to all he met, he embodied class and dignity. Texans are genuinely honored that he called the Lone Star State home and we collectively grieve this monumental loss. On behalf of Texas, Cecilia and I offer our thoughts and prayers to the Bush family in their time of need.”

Bush, 94, a Republican, served as the president from 1989 to 1993. He served as vice presiSTATE dent from 1981 to 1989 alongCAPITAL side President Ronald Reagan. He served as a member of the U.S. HIGHLIGHTS House of Representatives, Texas Ed Sterling Congressional District 7, from 1967 to 1971, and went on to serve the nation in many other high-level appointed positions.

Fund transfer is completed Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar on Nov. 29 announced the transfer of $2.77 billion into the State Highway Fund and the Economic Stabilization (“Rainy Day”) Fund. Each fund received more than $1.38 billion or 50 percent of the total transfer, Hegar said.

The transfer amounts are based on crude oil and natural gas production tax revenues in excess of 1987 collections. If either tax generates more revenue than the 1987 threshold, an amount equal to 75 percent of the excess is transferred.

In November 2014, voters approved a constitutional amendment allocating at least half of these severance taxes to the Rainy Day Fund, with the remainder going to the SHF for use on non-toll highway construction, maintenance and right-of-way acquisition.

When fiscal 2018 ended on Aug. 31, the Rainy Day Fund balance was $11.04 billion. The new balance of $12.48 billion, not accounting for currently outstanding spending authority, will decline as agencies spend down the remaining appropriation authority, Hegar said.

Also, the high balance helps Texas maintain its AAA credit rating. “That’s why I have asked the Legislature to authorize me to invest a portion of the fund in a more prudent and responsible manner and use the returns to address the types of long-term liabilities that have crippled the finances of states such as Illinois and New Jersey. Significant portions of this money have not been keeping up with inflation, and we must not allow the power of this asset to erode over time,” Hegar added.

Returns reach landmark Comptroller Hegar on Nov. 29 announced his office had returned $1 billion in unclaimed property to rightful owners since he took office in January 2015.

“This landmark achievement represents the commitment this office has made to reuniting unclaimed property with its rightful owners,” Hegar said. “I’m proud of the folks in our Unclaimed Property program, and I encourage everyone to go to our website and see if there is money waiting for them.”

About 830,000 claims have been approved while Hegar has been comptroller, he said, and since 2015, the comptroller’s office has redesigned its unclaimed property website and internal systems to make the claims process faster, easier and more efficient.

ClaimitTexas.org allows users to upload claim documentation and is mobile-optimized to make it easier to search for unclaimed property on smartphones and tablets. The state has returned more than $3 billion in unclaimed property to its rightful owners since the program’s inception in 1962, Hegar added.

Tax scammers target many Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Nov. 26 warned Texans that entities impersonating the Internal Revenue Service are sending fraudulent email messages.

Fraudsters may use the subject line “tax transcripts” in email messages that attempt to bait Texans into opening links and documents that contain malware designed to steal sensitive financial data.

Paxton said the IRS never calls or emails citizens to demand repayment for penalties, and if any citizen receives a fraudulent call or email message they should call the IRS directly at 800-829-1040.

“My office stands ready to assist hard-working Texas consumers. The consumer protection section of our website contains several resources on how to recognize, prevent and report scams like this. Being informed is the best way to prevent fraud and loss,” added Paxton.

Many may purchase units Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush on Nov. 28 announced the Federal Emergency Management Agency granted a program under which Hurricane Harvey survivors still residing in temporary housing units may purchase the federally funded manufactured housing units and travel trailers.

FEMA’s temporary housing assistance is set to expire on Feb. 25, 2019, 18 months after the date of the disaster. Currently, there are 1,582 households in temporary housing units — manufactured housing and travel trailers — administered by the Texas General Land Office.

Counties agreeing to participate in the sales program include Austin, Calhoun, Galveston, Harris, Jasper, Jefferson, Newton, Orange, Polk, San Jacinto, Tyler and Victoria. However, some cities within those counties have opted out of the program.

FEMA approval of the sales program for the housing units “provides Texas communities with one more tool in our recovery toolbox,” Bush said.

Windbreak of elm, grass proves a new wildlife hotspot

By Jim Steiert Contributing Writer

Many of us who grew up in the country as farm kids also grew up hunting—in fact it was as much an essence of life as breathing. Working outside every day brought exposure to experiences not to be had in classroom confines, and a priceless familiarity with Nature and the ways of its critters.

One of the things country kids found familiar in the days of open ditch irrigation was the often-sandy pit near the spillway of the irrigation pump. The sand was mostly from the development of the well, when it pumped sand for a time before clearing up as it was test pumped. Some wells would pump a little sand at the start of the watering season.

Frequently found in association with the spillway pit at the well was a tree planted there with the diligence and foresight of the resident farmer that over time, grew to provide shade and a welcome cool spot in the heat of summer working days. It seems a shame that most of these inviting little park areas have gone by the wayside across the years as sprinkler irrigation, electric motors and submersible pumps sent the spillway trees into oblivion.

It was not only in summer that hunting-minded farm kids grew to appreciate irrigation pump pit trees, though. These small wooded areas, along with overgrown farmsteads with their arrays of volunteer elm trees and kochia weed grew into “hotspots” worthy of spending the time to check out on cold and blustery days when gamebirds sought a place to hunker down out of the weather.

A particular one still comes to mind from growing up days down in the Hart coun-

An odd corner with some cover provided by elm trees and grasses can prove an out of the way wildlife magnet.

Photo by Jim Steiert try. Back in roughly the 1970s the low growing branches of elm trees around an old irrigation well site proffered inviting cover. I still remember a blustery winter day with snow on the ground and no pheasants in the bag, when I opted to leave the warmth of the car for a quick trek into the low growth. The reward for checking this isolated locale with a little low cover was a virtual covey rise of pheasants and the taking of a pair of gaudy roosters with quick shots from the Mossberg pump as a couple of dozen of their fellows raced away on the stiff north wind.

I renewed acquaintance with a similarly woody hotspot this past weekend during the opening day of pheasant season. By late morning the southwest wind was howling, and I opted to post up at a southwest elm tree corner to block for two companions slowly walking hillside cover. Ducks were swimming warily on a nearby playa, and as I drove up near the tree and shut off the pickup I could already see a small covey of bobwhites under low growing protective branches.

Through the elm tree clutter I could see a thicket of johnsongrass. Up from the wav-

ing johnsongrass popped the heads of two, then three mule deer does. That’s when I saw antlers protruding from the johnsongrass thicket. I hardly got the word wooahh out before the buck stood up. A big, gorgeous mule deer buck— I was having a hard time counting points with the elm branches interfering with my view. I grabbed the binoculars off the pickup seat, slipped quietly out of the pickup, and edged around the elm enough to glass him. He laid back down. Nope, not comfortable. He stood back up. Ten, no, twelve points, best I could tell. Not an overly wide, but a very tall rack. I slipped back into the pickup. He watched me. I watched him. The buck started to flee but changed his mind, and stopped to watch me again. Time to go, maybe not. After a couple of steps he turned and faced me full on, and we kept the mutual observation game going. The does got antsy. Six of them were up from the grass. The buck turned and they all clopped away, not in a panic, but in a measured strategic retreat into a wooly CRP grass expanse.

I watched them out of sight. Hadn’t brought the camera, darn it, but a great picture memory anyway.

The bobwhites had endured my presence about as much as they could stand, and flushed in a whir from beneath the elm thicket.

I took up my shotgun, turned the Labs out of their crates, and moved across my end of the hillside thicket as my friends David and Gary worked closer. I couldn’t hear their shouted directions in the roaring wind, and thought their frantic gestures meant I was supposed to swing with the dogs into a kochia stand in front of me. Pheasants fleeing the drivers bailed as they reached an opening in the kochia weed behind me.

A purple-and turquoise hued rooster launched, gained speed in the wind, and evaded my hurried shot. Mallards erupted into flight from the nearby playa. We watched the air show. Don’t know about the other guys, but I had bagged a game-rich experience.

It wasn’t until walking back to the pickup later that I noticed the abandoned irrigation equipment next to

the tree and thought on the blowy, snowy day and the pheasant covey rise back when. Hmm. Old memories, and fresh new ones to join them. Yep, the kinship with the wildlife hotspots in odd corners endures.

More Eagles await in Elite Eight

Whitefaces run afoul in Perryton comeback From Staff Reports

Hereford’s Hostile Herd will be looking to make it bookends Friday when they face the Decatur Eagles in UIL Class 4A Division 1 state quarterfinal playoff tilt to determine the Region 1 champion.

The Whitefaces come in at 9-3 after taking down District 3-4A rival Canyon, 14-3, in last week’s Sweet 16. Marking only the fourth time in school history a football team has advanced this far into the postseason, it is the deepest foray into the playoffs during Don DeLozier’s 15-years as head coach.

To join an even more elite group of Herd grid teams with a win, the Herd will have to ground another high-flying Eagle offense.

“Decatur is a good team,” DeLozier said.

“They are a No. 4 seed, but play much better than that.

“They have found their stride in the playoffs.

They are used to deep playoff runs, but like us, this is their first fourthround appearance in recent years.”

The Eagles have been lighting it up this season with one of the top quarterback-receiver duos in the state.

Scoring no less than 21

Next to a trio of gold-ball trophies on the desk as one enters athletic offices at Whiteface Stadium fieldhouse space is already set aside for a fourth.

BRAND/John Carson points in a game this season, they have scored 31 or more nine times that includes five games of 48 or more. They average a healthy 35.7 points per game this season.

Running out of a spread, DeLozier said the Eagles will run “lots” of run-pass option plays and have an offense similar to that of Herd opponents Andrews and Dumas.

“Their execution could cause us some problems,” DeLozier said.

“They have kids who can play well, and when they execute the offense, they can hurt you.”

All the offensive fireworks are needed con-

sidering the Eagle defense has been giving up points at a similar pace.

While allowing just 21 points per games in the playoffs, Decatur has surrendered 41 or more in eight games of which four were 56 or more that includes games of 70 and 75 points allowed.

Despite surrendering 21, 28 and 14 points in three playoff games, the Eagles are allowing a whopping 39.8 per game for the season.

DeLozier expects the Eagles to adjust edge defenders in their 4-2-5 and 3-4 schemes to combat the Herd running game while also incorporating

Hoop roundup

Foul trouble proved deadly Friday for the Hereford Whitefaces as Perryton crawled out of a fourth-quarter hole to eke out a 59-58 victory on the non-district hardwood.

The win was the fifth straight for the 1-5 Herd after a season-opening victory.

“We played hard and really got after it defensively,” Hereford coach C.J. Villegas said. “We just got into foul trouble with our big men, and that really handcuffed us. It was especially bad when [post] Tanner Frische fouled out with four minutes to play.

“We shot well in the third quarter, but they made five 3-pointers in the fourth. Then to lose Tanner to fouls really hurt us.”

The Whitefaces looked like they had taken control when they stretched a 27-26 halftime lead to 49-38 after the third.

From there, the combination of foul calls and torrid Ranger shooting allowed Perryton to put together a 21-9 surge in the fourth to secure to victory.

Despite fouling out midway through the fi-

nal period, Frische finished with 20 points to share team scoring honors with Haz Castaneda.

The Whitefaces are back in action after press time Tuesday when they hosted Dumas.

They follow that with five games over three days during the inaugural Hereford Classic, Thursday-Saturday at Whiteface Gym. Lady Herd go 1-3 at Shallowater tourney A blow-out loss and big win sandwiched a pair of tight defeats for the Hereford Lady Whitefaces during tournament action last weekend at Shallowater.

The Lady Herd saw a close game get out of hand in the tourney opener when Seminole used a 23-10 third quarter to take a 52-31 lead into the final frame on the way to a 69-44 win.

In Thursday’s nightcap, the Lady Whitefaces could not hold a first-half lead in scoring only 14 second-half points in a 47-38 loss to Canadian.

Friday’s opener proved a similar scenarPLEASE SEE HOOP | 10

HISTORY: FROM PAGE 1

has come on strong during the past month, set the tone from the first Eagle possession – which started at the Canyon 4 and moved to the 31 before ending with a punt after 11 plays from the Eagle 14.

Following an exchange of punts, Christian Mendez dropped Eagle QB Lawton Rikel for a 3-yard loss on third-and-2 before the Whitefaces took over at their 43 following a punt.

Seth Dixon sandwiched five carries then three totes around a 4-yard Sebastian Grajeda-to-Ray Ponce pass to set the Herd up with fourth-and-1 at the Canyon 28.

With the Eagle defense following Dixon like sharks on a minnow, Grajeda pulled the ball on the option read and went off the left side for 14 yards and first down at the CHS 13.

On the ensuing play, the Whitefaces would score all they would need when Dixon skirted left end and ran over tacklers before diving into the end zone. Luis Loya’s PAT made it 7-0 with 3:14 to play in the half.

Sparked by a 49-yard Rikel run, the Eagles responded with their best drive to that point

Herd’s Seth Dixon (21) cuts loose on a 31-yard scamper on the way to a 31-carry, 181-yard, 1 TD night that put him over 2,000 yards for the season.

HISD photo by Bryan Hedrick to face second-and-goal at Herd 5.

An incomplete pass and illegal substitution penalty made it third-and-goal from the 10 when Rikel found Seth Nickell breaking open on a quick post in the end zone.

Arriving at the same time as the ball, Whiteface DB Jake Kelso drilled Nickell to knock the ball loose and force the Eagles to settle for a 27-yard Brayden Welch field goal with 23 seconds remaining to make it 7-3.

“That was huge,” DeLozier said. “Really huge. To hold them to a field goal was what we needed to do.

“Looking at the simple math of the game, it we kept them out of the end zone, it would definitely be to our advantage.”

The momentum boost carried the Whitefaces into the third quarter where they forced a Canyon three-and-out to open the second half.

Following a Hereford punt, the Eagles faced third-and-12 from their 17 when Rikel was flushed from the pocket before getting blindsided by Herd DE Carson Altman as he released the ball.

The wounded duck fluttered into the waiting arms of Whiteface LB Alexis Delval at the Canyon 29.

Heading up the sidelines, Delval picked up some blockers and cut back to evade tacklers at the 5 before scoring to up the Whiteface lead to 14-3 with 7:08 to go in the third.

From there, the Herd offense and defense squeezed the remainder of the gridiron season’s life out of the Eagles.

The defense stonewalled a Canyon fourthand-2 attempt from the Herd 17 on the ensuing drive before the offense began playing keepaway.

Taking over at their own 16 with 3:09 to go in the third, the Whitefaces embarked on a nine-play march that ate up 4:40 before ending at the Canyon 35 where Tye Davis’ coffin-corner punt pinned the Eagles at their own 3 with 10:33 to play.

The Herd defense let the Eagles out to

their 25 before forcing a punt.

With the ball at their 35 and 8:19 remaining, the Whiteface did it again with a sevenplay drive that used 4:18 and moved to the Canyon 33 before Davis again pinned the Eagles at their 3.

A 56-yard pass from Rikel to Jack McKay got the Eagles out of the hole and set up first-and-10 from the Herd 16.

Again the Whiteface defense stonewalled the Eagles with LB Jaden Cano sacking Rikel for a 10-yard, then tackling him for no-gain on his next dropback.

On third-and-20 from 26, Dixon blitzed from his outside linebacker spot to nail Rikel for a 5-yard loss.

Welch’s ensuing 48-yard field goal attempt was short and wide, and Dixon carried three times as the Whitefaces ran out the final 90 seconds.

“The key was we played unbelievable defense,” DeLozier said. “They were physical all night. The things [Canyon] had done to hurt us in the past, we were able to stop.

“We gave up a couple of big plays, but we were able to keep them from scoring. That was the key.”

Although finishing with 278 total yards for the night (139 rushing, 139 passing), the Eagles saw 115 of those come on two plays, and both of those were instrumental in Canyon’s only two scoring threats of the game.

Meanwhile, the Whiteface offense did what they do best – hand the ball to Dixon and give him a crease.

The senior carried 31 times for 181 yards and a touchdown while cresting the 2,000yard plateau for the season.

Grajeda connected on 9-of-16 passes for 102 yards with Ponce snaring 8 of those for 86 yards.

ground assault is warranted.

The lead bull, bell cow or whatever you want to call him for the Herd, senior Seth Dixon is proving typically formidable after carrying 31 times for 181 yards in last week’s win.

Last week’s effort allowed Dixon to crest the 2,000-yard mark for the season as he enters Friday’s tilt with 2,075 yards on 328 carries (6.3 per carry) with 31 rushing touchdowns and 2 receiving TDs. Converted WR Sebastian Grajeda is settling in under center after taking over in Game 6. He has hit 47-of-96 passes for 613 yards with 6 TDs and only 3 interceptions.

With them and WR Ray Ponce priming the offense, the Whitefaces are scoring 32.2 points per game for the season, but 35 per game in the playoffs.

The key to the game could be the match-up between the Eagle offense and Whiteface defense that has become an increasingly formidable unit.

Statistically, the biggest difference between the two teams is on the defensive side – where the Herd is allowing 15.7

Hostile Herd head coach Don DeLozier joined the team’s postseason peroxide parade after last week’s, 14-2, Sweet 16 win over Canyon.

BRAND/John Carson points per game in the playoffs.

For the season, the Whitefaces have posted two shutouts and given up 13 or fewer points on six occasions to allow just 14.8 points per game for the season.

io as the Lady Herd led 25-22 at the half before scoring only 12 second-half points to lose to Lubbock, 41-37.

They notched their lone tourney win when Taytum Stow scored 15 points to lead the way in a 47-24 victory over Andews in Friday’s closer.

Friday’s win was the only game that Lori Arias did not lead the Lady Whitefaces in scoring after she posted team highs of 14, 13 and 11 points in the first three games.

“We did OK, but we’re struggling

this game is the same old stuff that got us here,” DeLozier said. “Line up well. Tackle well. Take what they give you. Execute, and take care of the ball.”

some,” first-year Hereford coach Bryan Lintner said. “We trying to be more disciplined, but that can be hard when you’re working in new players and combinations between returnees, new players and volleyball players.

“There are phases where we struggle with a new coach and new schemes.

We’re our own worst enemy right now, plus, we’re playing some pretty good teams. I told them it would be a rollercoaster until January.”

The Lady Whitefaces were back on the floor Tuesday, after press time, against Dumas and are back on the tournament trail Thursday when they open play in the Dimmitt tournament.
