Sheriff’s Office discusses prescriptions

BY BRIAN RASH

editor@grahamleader.com

Editor’s Note: This is the second half of a report on illegal prescrip-tion drug use in Graham and Young County.

While one drug commonly associ-ated with the declination of rural areas remains methamphetamine, officers in Graham and Young County have been seeing prescrip-tion drugs thrown into the mix more and more, especially in the last three years.

Young County Sheriff Bryan Walls and Deputy Jim Budarf confirmed that illegal prescription use is a problem throughout Young County and, just like Graham Police Chief Tony Widner, Walls said that more often than not various pills are found in tandem with black-market drugs.

“About 75 percent of the time when we deal with meth, there’s prescrip-tions with that, and I’m saying where it’s not theirs, it’s somebody else’s,” Walls said. “And it’s usually hydro-codone, Soma, Xanax, stuff like that, and it’s always with that meth. You’d see the meth and marijuana always together, and now you see both of those, but you also see the prescrip-tions. There’s quite a few folks that we know of that are major prescrip-tion junkies, as we call them.”

Walls said strategies for illegally acquiring prescription drugs vary, and that people should be aware of certain predatory tactics.

“People will look at maybe the obituaries, for instance, and see where ‘Jane Doe’ just died,” he said. “Word around town is she’s been sick, that’s when they’ll go to her house and break in and try to find all of her prescriptions because they know that she’s got plenty of them. Or somebody’s just had surgery or anything like that, they know they probably have hydrocodone for the pain, so they’ll break into their house.”

He added that he’s personally dealt with people pretending to be door-to-door salesmen, insisting on coming inside to make their sales pitch, and then suddenly needing to use the bathroom for instant access to the medicine cabinet.

“We got a call on them, and checked it out and we made sure they got out of our county real quick,” Walls said. “And we can’t file burglary charges on them because the people let them in to the house.”

Deputy Budarf was quick to point out that not all salespeople should be treated with suspicion, and that there are litmus tests to determine the validity of a sales call. True sales people, he said, will have lanyards or other proper identification and sales materials.

Breckenridge native Randy Meador, pictured next to one of his most recent oil paintings titled “Ranch Crown,” is the OPOMAC’s featured artist for the month of September. In conjunction with three other displays consisting of cowboy hats, boots and spurs, Meador’s paintings number about 40 strong and will be featured all month long. “The model sitting on the fence is actually a fantastically talented ranch/rodeo competitor,” Meador said of the piece recently. “Ranch Crown” is part of a new direction for the Fort Worth-based artist, who said he is now focusing on what he calls more real, raw and lesser-known subjects within the western genre.

The Graham Police Department is shifting its technique for train-ing and recruiting officers, a move department leaders hope will fix turnover problems involving other agencies cherry-picking employees.

This year alone, GPD has lost five officers to other agencies.

Police Chief Tony Widner dis-cussed the issue at Graham City Council’s Sept. 11 meeting before council members considered and approved changes in the depart-ment’s training policy.

“When we hire an officer, we imme-diately invest somewhere between $3,000 and $5,000 in equipment and training,” Widner said at the meet-ing. “And one of the problems that we’ve seen is, once we make that initial investment, they become at-tractive to other agencies because they don’t have to make that much of an investment. So, we’ve been losing a lot of officers.”

One example is the Palo Pinto County Sheriff’s Office, which attracts Young County Sheriff’s deputies by offering a better salary, Widner said. The YCSO will then entice field-trained and street-ready GPD officers with additional time off incentives.

“There has been a big joke about the shuffle, and that’s kind of what it looks like,” Widner said.

GPD is also changing its shift schedule to 12-hour shifts on Oct. 1 to match time-off incentives offered by the YCSO and other local first response agencies and to increase coverage on shifts.

On July 27, Widner told The Graham Leader that GPD was fully staffed after hiring three new of-

The City of Graham is at a tipping point in its search to secure an al-ternate source of water to replace a quickly diminishing Lake Graham.

“If we don’t get started, it will be too late to make a difference po-tentially,” said Mayor Jack Graham. “We’re at that tipping point, where if by January we’re not moving, we’re really in danger of not being able to catch back up. We’re kind of at dire strait time.”

Graham’s elected officials have

decided to focus on two of three possible options: groundwater from water wells in the county and re-use of water from the city’s waste water treatment plant, called effluent.

With the time it takes to imple-ment these plans, officials feel they need to act now in order to have an alternate source active by January 2016. That’s when projections from city consultant Scott Swanson of La Costa Environmental out of Austin estimate the lake will be at 20 per-cent capacity -- unusable as a water source -- if current weather trends continue.

Lake Graham is at an elevation of 1,061.34 feet above mean sea level, or about 41 percent full, the lowest City Manager David Casteel believes it has been since it began impound-ment in 1958.

“(Consultants) have come up with three alternates to look at,” Casteel explained. “One is getting some wa-ter from (Possum Kingdom Lake). Two, getting groundwater sources in Young County, and three, finding some reuse for our effluent, which right now we just pump downstream to PK.”

A large portion of the two-hour

Sept. 11 City Council meeting was dedicated to a presentation by con-sultant Allen Phillips, an engineer with Abilene’s Jacob and Martin who was hired in May to study the cost and feasibility of possible alternate water sources. In August, Phillips presented his preliminary findings, and at September’s meeting he presented a draft of his final report.

Graham, on average, uses 3 million gallons a day with peaks of more than 6 mgd in the summer. City leadership along with engineering consultants have calculated the city can survive on 2 mgd with conserva-

tion measures in place, according to Phillips’ report.

After discussion, a fully present city council voted to move forward with preparations to develop large water-well fields and reuse the city’s effluent discharge to supplement Lake Graham.

“I think, my personal opinion, nothing hurts going forward with getting the permits, and it just gets the process started quicker,” Gra-ham said. “Now the decision’s on what we actually do, just because

Eva Hoffman made Graham her home 50 years ago and takes great pride in living in a clean community.

“Graham is a special place in this part of Texas,” she said. “It’s an ongo-ing effort to keep trash picked up and keep Graham clean.”

Keep Graham Beautiful helps to do just that, and its kick-off event for the 2014 annual Fall Clean-Up launches Oct. 4 at 9 a.m.

For Hoffman, who has been a major contributor and board member to the semi-annual community-wide clean up events since 2012, the overall orga-nization of the clean-up events gives people more opportunities to get rid of all of their accumulated trash.

“We’d be back in the situation we were in with those dumpsters in the neighborhoods,” Hoffman said of the six years before KGB brought back the cohesive cleanup/recycling events. “You’d have to go and look at the pictures of how it just accumulated. ”

Having massive, cooperative clean-up efforts has helped allay that problem, Hoffman said, adding that another marked improvement is a sustained awareness of the impor-tance of recycling.

“Starting the recycling at the schools has been quite successful,” she said. “Before, there wasn’t any focus hardly at all on recycling, but since we put those bins at the schools, they’ve really been making use of them,

especially with the paper products.” Aiding clean-up efforts, the conve-

nience station will be open everyday during the run of the Fall Clean-Up through Oct. 12, allowing Graham residents to dump all of their brush and trash for bulk disposal. Plastic, glass, aluminum, steel, tin, boxboard, chipboard, corrugated cardboard and mixed papers can also be deliv-ered to the convenience station for recycling.

“We are hoping that people will take all of their trash to the convenience

station since they will be hosting extra hours of their service,” Hoffman said.

Recycling also factors big on the Square on Oct. 4, which will have a Graham Lion’s Club-sponsored sta-tion for eyeglasses and an electronics recycling station that will benefit the Helen Hawkins Music Scholarship Fund. Shred-It Paper Shredding will also be on hand to take care of all unwanted paper and documents.

“And if they’re in the county, and you’re not sure about who this person is at your door, all you gotta do is call the Sheriff’s Department and we’ll send a deputy down there to verify who they are,” Walls added.

But another problem that comes with illegal prescription use, Widner explained, is that those drugs are meant to be prescribed by trained profes-sionals. Amateurs can do fatal harm, he said.

“One of the big concerns we have about this is that those medications are prescribed by somebody who knows what the effects are on the people they’re giving them to,” Widner said. “Differences in size and sensitivity to those medica-tions can take a medication that helps treat an illness or problem and helps improve that person’s quality of life but can put another person’s life in danger. If they’re allergic, or it’s prescribed in a dosage that’s too strong for the person that’s taking it, there’s a lot of concerns there that aren’t addressed by people abusing those drugs.”

Dangerous Drug ChargesThe following information from Texas

Health and Safety Code chapter 483 section 42 describes various criteria constituting possession of an illegal dangerous drug:

A person commits an offense if the person possesses a dangerous drug unless the person obtains the drug from a pharmacist acting in the manner described by Section 483.042(a)(1) or a practitioner acting in the manner described by Section 483.042(a)(2).

(b) Except as permitted by this chapter, a person commits an offense if the person possesses a dangerous drug for the purpose of selling the drug.

(c) Subsection (a) does not apply to the possession of a dangerous drug in the usual course of business or practice or in the performance of official duties by the following persons or an agent or employee of the person:

(1) a pharmacy licensed by the board;(2) a practitioner;(3) a person who obtains a dangerous drug

for lawful research, teaching, or testing, but not for resale;

(4) a hospital that obtains a dangerous drug for lawful administration by a prac-titioner;

(5) an officer or employee of the federal, state, or local government;

(6) a manufacturer or wholesaler licensed by the Department of State Health Services under Chapter 431 (Texas Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act);

(7) a carrier or warehouseman;(8) a home and community support ser-

vices agency licensed under and acting in accordance with Chapter 142;

(9) a licensed midwife who obtains oxygen for administration to a mother or newborn or who obtains a dangerous drug for the administration of prophylaxis to a newborn for the prevention of ophthalmia neonato-rum in accordance with Section 203.353, Occupations Code;

(10) a salvage broker or salvage operator licensed under Chapter 432; or

(11) a certified laser hair removal profes-sional under Subchapter M, Chapter 401, who possesses and uses a laser or pulsed light device approved by and registered with the department and in compliance with department rules for the sole purpose of cosmetic nonablative hair removal.

(d) An offense under this section is a Class A misdemeanor.

ficers. At the Sept. 11 meeting he reported that the agency was back to having two open slots and was having to move code enforcement officer Robert San Miguel to patrol duty in October to meet city coverage needs.

Widner’s solution is to recruit and send local candidates to the police academy. In exchange, prospective employees would sign a three-year contract to stay with the agency following completion of academy train-ing or pay back the investment made by GPD to get them trained. In the past, Widner explained, GPD has recruited officers who already had acad-emy training.

“What we’re hoping to do is to

advertise locally for people who might be interested in law en-forcement, and we would send them to the academy,” he said, adding that the hope is by find-ing people with an established investment in the community, the department will have an easier time retaining officers. This will also give the depart-ment the opportunity to train officers from the ground up, he said.

“We are still looking for the same quality of individual,” Widner said. “We would just be more involved with the train-ing from the basic level all the way through our field training program, and I think it’ll be a benefit to us. I think we’ll see better retention. We’ll have the same quality, and we’ll have

people who are vested in the quality of life in Graham, not just police work.”

City Manager David Casteel reported that Graham Fire-Rescue has a similar program in place that Fire Chief Dennie Covey said has been successful for his agency.

“It works really well, and we always have someone who is trained and ready to step in,” Covey said.

Casteel said Widner has al-ready advertised for officers to fill the open slots but the candidate pool is weak so far.

“So, if you can’t buy it, grow your own,” Casteel said.

Mayor Jack Graham asked if the change would have an impact on the agency’s budget.

“It will,” Widner responded.

“It depends on what kind of response we get right off the bat, and then we’ll have to look at it and make some adjustments at that point.”

Following key testimony, the council unanimously approved the creation of an officer-in-training and reserve-officer-training program.

“Let’s give it a shot and see if we can get some more reten-tion,” Mayor Jack Graham said.

Widner added that anyone interested in the officer-in- training and reserve-officer programs can pick up an ap-plication at the Graham Police Department headquarters at 903 Loving Highway or can email the GPD website to re-ceive a digital version of the application.

you get a permit doesn’t mean you have to use it.”

City council contracted Jacob and Martin to execute

the necessary engineering to acquire a permit amendment for the waste water treatment plant to discharge treated effluent into Lake Graham. The city and consultants are working with the Texas Com-mission for Environmental Quality for permission to al-low for what the agency classi-fies as “de facto re-use,” where water discharged from the waste water treatment plant can be collected for public consumption only after it is filtered through an adequate natural barrier, in this case Lake Graham.

Council also gave the go-ahead for Swanson to assist Phillips in acquiring “bed and banks permits” to discharge well water and effluent di-rectly into the lake.

Phillip’s study identified two possible plans to generate up to 1.25 mgd of groundwater from water wells in Young County. One plan involves two well fields and 34 wells,

one 14-well field near Jean with and another 20-well field near Loving equipped with pipelines to return a possible 1 mgd of water either to Lake Graham or directly to the water treatment plant. The other plan is for a single well field near Indian Mound Road and Salt Creek outfitted with a pipeline that could generate up to 1.25 mgd with 22 wells.

“We need to spend the money to get the permits to allow us to move forward in whatever direction we go,” Councilman Darby Brockway said. “We don’t want to be waiting on that in a time of dire need.”

Swanson said the cost to obtain the bed and banks permits were negligible, and Phillips approximated the costs for the effluent permit-ting to be less than $10,000.

Council members led by Graham agreed to delay all but the preemptive stages of developing the Possum King-

dom Lake option due to poor water quality and excessive treatment and transportation costs.

City aldermen also passed a motion to have Phillips look into acquiring permission to place a pipeline to PK Lake in Texas Department of Trans-portation land along State Highway 67 or Fort Belknap Water Supply Corp. land.

Since the Sept. 11 meet-ing, the city has confirmed that TxDOT has room in its land along Highway 67 for a pipeline from Graham to Ivan should the PK option be further perused, Casteel said.

“I’ve thought about this a lot, and to me, PK is your last resort,” Graham said. “It’s just such a nightmare.”

In the weekend edition of The Graham Leader a report will discuss the City’s plan to search for a private part-ner to develop the well field option for Graham’s water supply.

BY THE GRAHAM LEADER

The Graham Leader’s parent

company, Digital First Media, has hired an investment bank to explore its business op-tions, including the possible sale of DFM’s newspapers.

UBS Securities - part of a global investment banking, wealth management and asset management firm with head-quarters in Switzerland – will evaluate the holdings of DFM and recommend business strategies to the company’s board of directors.

Digital First Media was formed in December 2013 by the merger of MediaNews Group and 21st Century Newspapers, formerly Journal Register Company.

It is the second largest news-paper company in the United States by circulation and includes more than 800 news and information product lines.

In addition to its small, non-daily holdings, includ-

ing Graham Newspapers, Inc., DFM owns metropolitan newspapers in Denver, El Paso, San Jose, Oakland, Los Angeles, Detroit, St. Paul and New Haven, Conn. The company owns 76 daily and 160 weekly newspapers in 15 states across America.

A majority of the markets were part of MediaNews Group, which was founded and built by Graham, Texas, native William Dean Singleton, who retired from the firm in December.

Graham Newspapers, Inc., also founded by Singleton, includes The Graham Leader, The Olney Enterprise, Jacks-boro Gazette-News, The Jack County Herald, Breckenridge American, Lake Country Sun, five non-daily newspapers in suburban Fort Worth, and four area radio stations licensed to Graham and Breckenridge.

“The news information industry in America is un-

dergoing a period of seismic change, defined by the need to consolidate to rapidly compete in a digital world,” said John Paton, DFM’s chief executive officer. “DFM has clearly emerged as a leading player, based on the high quality of our assets and the extensive work we have done to transform them into multi-platform products that deliver outstanding local news and exceptional op-portunities for advertisers.”

Paton said the company has many options available to maximize the value of the company for its stockhold-ers, which is why the board ordered the review.

“It could mean we decide to sell the company. Or sell parts of it. Or expand it. Or stay the course,” Paton wrote in a public blog to employees of the company.

While industry analysts across the country have con-cluded the review will result

in a sale, company executives caution against such thinking.

“There are no assurances that the process will result in a transaction(s) or on the terms or timing of such a transaction(s), if under-taken,” the company said in a news release. “Further, the board has not set a definitive schedule to complete its re-view process.”

Responding to the an-nouncement, The Graham Leader Publisher Robb Kreck-low said it will be business as usual for the employees of Graham Newspapers.

“We have a proud tradition, and our team continues to respond to changes in our markets by adding web and digital products to our tradi-tional newspaper product line in order to serve our read-ers and retail customers,” Krecklow said. “Our only job has been and will continue to be ‘take care of our local customers.’”

ALYSSA WINN

lifestyles@grahamleader.com

“Taking the bull by the horns” isn’t just a figure of speech for Jay Waskom, XX. It’s a literal bullet point on his resume, and he has the scars and bruises to prove it.

This year, he will take that and several other aspects of his rodeo skill set to a national stage.

For the first time in his career, Waskom, a Graham resident, qualified for the NSPRA (Na-tional Senior Pro Rodeo As-sociation) finals in bull riding. This also means that he’s in the hunt for a world champi-onship.

The NSPRA offers a chance for people 40 and older to strut their stuff with other competi-tors in their age bracket.

“There still is older people that love to rodeo,” Waskom said. “An 86-year-old man who ropes in the National Senior Pro Rodeo is leading the world, so that gives inspiration to young kids as well as to the old who want to start or continue their rodeo careers.”

Waskom competes through-out the country every year, vying for a spot in the finals in Las Vegas. As a member of the NSPRA, he can enter every U.S. rodeo on the schedule, as well as all co-sanctioned rodeos in Canada.

“It’s an awesome feeling that you qualified and earned you a spot in the finals,” he said. “All year long you work hard, so getting a chance to go to Las Vegas for the first time is going to be a fun experience.”

The road to the finals isn’t easy, especially considering how dangerous rodeo sports can be.

“My scariest ride was when I woke up in the hospital not knowing if I won or not. I got knocked out in the chin and had knee surgery,” he said. “I got hung up on a bull, and he kicked my knee, knocked my tooth out, broke my jaw, and I woke up in the hospital three days later.”

But injuries didn’t stop him from riding bulls or broncs, which might not have been the case were it not for his pre-ride

routine.“Mentally, I’m already riding,”

he explained. “When I get there, the mental game is already done, so I start stretching and warming up and remember to ride jump-for-jump and second-for-second. I always try to have fun and let the Lord handle everything.”

Besides working for a world championship, Waskom has some other ideas that involve Young County.

“I’m actually trying to bring a NSPRA rodeo here to Graham in May of next year so people can come out and watch some of these seniors ride,” he said.

It’s a big job, but he has an idea of how to go about it.

“First of all, you have to get involved in the town or city, start putting ideas out there,” he said. “Start going to the arena, then you start working little-by-little getting sponsorships and just try to get everyone involved.”

The journey ahead for that project is immense, and Was-kom knows it’s a gamble to even garner the interest needed to approach the start-

ing gate. But if he does succeed in attracting an NSPRA rodeo, he has high hopes about what it could do for Graham and Young County.

Despite his heady ambition, however, he remains realistic.

“I just hope some people are interested in seeing if they even want to show up to watch older people ride,” he said. “If it comes together, I think people in Graham will like it and will keep wanting us back.”

Waskom has a passion for rodeo and with people about this association and what it has done for him.

“A lot of people stop riding af-ter 40 because they have other stuff going on in their life,” he said. “This association gives older riders who still have a passion to ride a chance to really compete and have fun.”

Waksom also pointed out

that getting an NSPRA rodeo in Young County would not only be a major grab for the county, but would mark the first of its kind in Texas.

“I have been to Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Wyoming and Oklahoma, but we just haven’t been traveling right here in the state of Texas,” he said.

But before he makes a run at bringing a senior circuit rodeo to the area, there’s the nation-als in Las Vegas to focus on, where he will compete Oct. 1 through Oct. 4.

“I practice every chance I get. I try to get on livestock every Sunday,” he said. “It’s trying to master something that you can’t master, hav-ing a 160-pound cowboy on a 2,000-pound bull. The thrill of trying to ride something that is just muscles is pretty awesome.”

Steers’ defense key in Wylie win; Argyle next

BY TORI CUMMINGS

sports@grahamleader.com

As the pocket collapsed around Abilene-Wylie quar-terback J.T. Ward late in the third quarter, he threw the ball up trying to get some-thing going on offense.

After all, the Bulldogs need-ed something, anything, to get back in the game. They had managed just three first downs and 42 yards of offense at that point.

Instead, Graham defensive end Dustin McWhorter got his hands up and snagged the ball.

Two plays later, the Steers converted the turnover into the game’s final score, an 8-yard touchdown run by Ha-gen Hughes and an 18-7 win.

McWhorter’s interception punctuated a dominant per-formance by the Steers’ defense. On a night where a heavy mist and blowing wind slowed down Graham’s offen-sive attack, the defense did exactly what it needed to do.

“I told the guys at halftime, there’s certain nights the de-fense is gonna have to carry you, there’s certain nights the offense is gonna have to carry you,” defensive coordinator Clay McChristian said. “It just happened to be our night. Our kids rose up and took care of our side of the ball.”

Running back Trey Kleffner, who had 476 yards and six touchdowns in two games coming into Friday, scored on a 9-yard run midway through the first quarter for a 7-0 lead.

Then the Steers shut down Kleffner, who had 24 yards on 10 carries, along with the entire Bulldog offense. Wy-lie finished with three first downs, 27 passing yards and 35 rushing yards.

“We perfected the game plan that coach Mac gave us,” cornerback Landon Gonzales said. “We talked about it the whole week. If we’re in the right spot, we’re gonna win. They can’t stop us.”

With the mist keeping the ball wet, the Steers’ offense didn’t have their usual bal-anced attack, relying heavily on the run game. In fact, the Steers had nine straight run plays on their third drive and racked up 63 rushing yards in the first quarter.

Anytime the Steers went to the air in the first half, some-thing seemed to go wrong. The Wylie defense sacked quarterback Landry Turner three times and dropped three potential intercep-tions. Graham also had five false start penalties.

Right before halftime, the Steers put together a five-play drive that ended on a 12-yard touchdown pass to Connor Smith and closed the gap 7-6. The two-point

conversion attempt failed, which seemed to summarize the offense’s overall perfor-mance.

“Ugly, ugly, ugly,” offensive coordinator Casey Dacus said. “But we talk about it all the time; that’s why it’s a team game. I promise you, there’s nobody that’s a big-ger fan of our defense than I am because it makes my job a heck of a lot easier.”

The offense found a little rhythm in the second half thanks to short fields created by the defense.

Skeeter Buchanan recov-ered a fumble, one of three the Steers forced, at the 26-yard line on the Bulldogs’ first play of the second half.

Running back Nick Martin carried the ball 25 yards to the one-yard line, and Turner punched it in two plays later for a 12-7 lead. Turner finished with 63 yards on 6 of 13 passing while the run-ning backs combined for 235 yards. Martin led the way with 162 yards on 33 carries.

Gonzales grabbed an in-terception after the Steers took the lead, but the offense was unable to convert it into points.

Still, the defense gave the offense the chances it needed to get back in the game and stopped Wylie from making any sort of run.

“It’s all about momentum,” McChristian said. “And when you can’t generate first downs, the frustration sets in. And offensive guys start to press, and when they start to press, we can tee off a little bit more. I just thought we never let them breathe the whole night.”

The win was Graham’s first in Bulldog Stadium since 2010. The 31-7 loss in 2012 stuck with seniors like Gonzales, who wanted to erase that bitter taste and take some momentum into a battle of 3-0 teams next Friday.

“We came hungry, ready to play,” Gonzales said. “It’s huge coming off the win (getting) ready for Argyle next week.”

Argyle beat Celina 41-29 Friday to keep its perfect season alive. The defending 3A state champions beat Wylie 34-28 on Aug. 29.

Of course, Argyle is well-known around Graham for knocking the Steers out in the state semifinal game last season, 38-14.

The Eagles return five start-ers on offense, including senior running back Nick Ralston, who had 233 yards and four touchdowns against Celina. To slow down the Eagle’s offensive attack, the Steers will need to contain Ralston like they did with Kleffner against Wylie.

“If you don’t stop the run, they’re gonna keep pounding away at you,” McChristian said. “He’s a big back, but he’s got great feet.”

Even if the Steers can bother Ralston, quarterback Cooper Rodgers has four speedy targets, three receiv-ers and a tight end that have combined for 513 receiving yards so far this season. Rod-gers, who has thrown for 538

yards and three touchdowns, stands just 5 foot 10, so he relies on rolling out of the pocket to find his receivers.

Forcing Rodgers to make quick decisions and getting a hand in his face will give the Steers chances to get turnovers, McChristian said.

Argyle, like Graham, forced multiple turnovers against Wylie, including a game-winning fumble return for a

touchdown. The Steers are plus 12 in turnover margin, a number that will need to increase against the Eagles. Converting turnovers into points, either by the offense or defense, will help Graham create some separation from Argyle.

“We gotta try to help each other out and score points

Blues struggle to finish rotations against GodleyBY TORI CUMMINGS

sports@grahamleader.com

Editor’s note: The Lady Blues played Burkburnett Tuesday night after The Graham Leader went to press.

Anytime the Lady Blues volleyball team gained momentum against Godley Friday night, they kept do-ing the same thing.

Graham would stay in one rotation for six or seven points. That would have been fine had the points been going to the Lady Blues.

Instead, Godley would use those rotations to build up large leads, which ultimately led to a three-set loss for Graham (12-25, 10-15, 21-25).

“They just picked us apart and found the holes and at-tacked them,” coach Marci Faulk said. “We might be in a rally, but it would always end in their favor because they could terminate.”

Godley took a 9-5 lead to open the first set. Then, the Lady Blues got stuck, and

the Wildcats blew the the doors wide open. The sec-ond set started even worse for Graham, with Godley taking a 12-4 lead which inflated to 25-10.

The Lady Blues took con-trol of the third set, taking a 4-0 lead aided by two service aces from junior outside hitter Savanna Wilson. But, once again, Graham couldn’t terminate and lost its lead.

Faulk liked the hustle and effort displayed by her team, especially in the third set. At one point, freshman setter Jasmine Sims ran over to the bench to pop up a ball which freshman libero Nicole King passed over the net with one hand while diving to the floor.

“That shows you some determination and will to keep it in play,” Faulk said. “But sometimes it seems like it comes too late. We (need to) play like that from point one. That’s something we’ve talked about: point

any way we can,” McChris-tian said. “You can’t stress too much this week on the turnover battle.”

Argyle’s defense returns just three starters from last season’s squad. Junior Tay-lor Sweatt leads the Eagles

with 44 tackles and two fumble recoveries.

The Eagles will force the Steers to spread the ball around and beat them with a balanced offensive attack. The Steers must win the one-on-one receiving match ups and replicate the running attack they showed against

Wylie to move the ball against Argyle, Dacus said.

Even though Argyle has the defending state champion target on their back, Graham knows that both teams have changed since the Dec.14 game. Still, Friday’s game will give the Steers a chance to prove themselves against

one of the top teams in the state.

“You want to go out there and show your best,” Mc-Christian said. “We think we’re a good team, and we know they’re a good team. It’s just time to go out there and prove this year who the better team is.”

one is just as important as point 25.”

Defensively, the Lady Blues played well, passing 45 percent of the balls hit at them, one of their better performances this season. However, they couldn’t con-vert the strong passing into kills. Faulk said communica-tion errors and not having someone stepping up under pressure contributed to the rotation problems.

Losing at home for the fourth time this season, not including the Lu Allen Tournament, didn’t sit well with the team, Faulk said. The girls know they need to win at home to bring in more fans and energy for future games.

“When you have a home game and you don’t utilize it in that capacity, it hurts,” Faulk said. “We’ve got to give the crowd a reason to continue to come and support.”

Graham hit the road again Tuesday, where they are 2-2 not including tournaments, to face former district oppo-nent Burkburnett. The Lady Blues will try to get back on track before an open date on Friday.

“Hopefully they’ll step up to that challenge,” Faulk said.

7th A: 24-0, L“The kids were a little too ner-

vous, but will learn through ex-perience to control those nerves,” coach Tommy Grace said.

7th B: 12-0, L“We had great effort and played

well, just had one mistake that cost us the first touchdown. The Wylie running back made a great run,” coach Derek Sokolosky said.

7th C: 16-0, L“I am proud of our team effort,

and look forward to seeing this team continue to learn the funda-mentals of the game, improve as a team, and have fun,” coach James Wyatt said.

8th A: 38-8, L“We had more total yards of of-

fense than they did, but couldn’t get it in the end zone and we gave up the big run way too many times. They played hard and got better as the game progressed,” coach Hunter Hayes said.

8th B: 28-0, L

8th C: 18-6, L“It took awhile to get the offense

going, but they finally did. We had a couple turnovers and gave Wylie a short field for their scores,” Hayes said.

The Federal Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in the

sale, rental, leasing and fi-nancing of housing. The law also prohibits discriminatory advertising on the basis of race, sex, color, religion, na-tional origin, mental or physi-cal handicap or marital status.

The law covers any potential or actual sale, lease, rental, eviction, price terms, privi-leges or any service in relation to the sale of or use of hous-ing. The law not only prohibits advertisements which restrict access to housing based on the protected categories, but also prohibits advertisements which indicate a preference for or against a person based on a protected category. In some circumstances, the use of local terminology, symbols or directions to real estate for sale or rent may indicate a discriminatory preference.

It is the intent and goal of The Graham Leader for each advertiser who wishes to place an advertisement in The Leader to comply with the Federal Fair Housing Act. Any advertisement which is perceived to contain language contrary to the act will be re-jected or changed to remove the offending reference(s).

There may be situations where it is not clear whether particular language is ob-jectionable. Such advertise-ments should be referred to the publisher for consideration and determination. Under certain circumstances, adver-tisers may claim that because of the nature of the housing being advertised, they are not subject to Fair Housing laws. Such claims are irrelevant for the purpose of considering ad-vertisements for publication in The Graham Leader. Every housing advertisement pub-lished in The Graham Leader is subject to all provisions of the Federal Fair Housing Act.
