Wildcats Season Ends with Loss to Raccoons
by Butch Burney
FRISCO — The Frisco Raccoons had to win their final two regular season games just to make the playoffs. Thursday night, they kept on winning.
Frisco used a ground-based offense and a bend-but-don’t-break defense to take a 41-14 victory over the Sulphur Springs Wildcats at the new, domed Ford Center in Frisco in the Class 5A, Division II bi-district game.
Frisco improved to 7-4 and will face the Everman-South Oak Cliff winner in the area round, while Sulphur Springs’ season ended at 6-4.
The Wildcats actually outgained Frisco in total yards, but the Raccoons took a 7-0 lead on their second possession of the game and never trailed.
Down 13-0 at halftime, Sulphur Springs scored on the second play of the second half to cut the deficit to 13-7 — and the Wildcats scored again on their final play of the game. But, in between, Frisco scored 28 straight points to put the game out of reach.
They did it by utilizing a single-wing offense in which fullback Nick Stanton gained 109 yards rushing and wingback Blake May added 108 yards on the ground. Stanton scored three touchdowns and May scored another to pace the Raccoons’ attack.
All told, Frisco had 292 yards rushing and 28 passing for a total of 320 yards. Conversely, the Wildcats got 281 yards passing from quarterback D’Corian Young (154 yards of it going to wide receiver Austin Dodd) and another 61 yards rushing for 342 total yards. But, the Wildcats turned the ball over twice while not forcing a turnover, and they were hit with 60 yards in penalties, some of which were at the most inopportune times.
Sulphur Springs had a tough time on fourth downs, converting just 1-of-6 opportunities, and they had just two “explosive” plays (of more than 20 yards) and those were the two touchdown passes Young threw to Dodd for 74 yards and to Landry Tyson for 47 yards.
The third quarter was especially painful for the Wildcats as they mustered just two first downs and failed to convert on a 4th-and-1 from their own 32 yard line while trailing 20-7. That led to a Stanton 4-yard TD run and a 27-7 Frisco lead with less than 10 minutes left in the contest. Then, Frisco was able to use its pounding ground game to wear down the Wildcat defense.
The Sulphur Springs offense was able to move the ball, especially in the first half when they had drives of 12, 15 and 7 plays, but were not able to score points on them. In the second half, the Wildcat offense was limited to just 7 yards rushing and both turnovers occured in the fourth quarter, including a SSHS fumble that was returned 44 yards for a touchdown by Frisco’s Nick Holland.
NOTES: The Wildcats, who most prognosticators had predicted before the season would not make the playoffs, finished in third place in District 8-5A, Division II. Frisco was the second place team in District 7-5A. … The Raccoons had 22 first downs to 16 for Sulphur Springs. … Wildcat special teams had a couple of shining moments as Damiyon Dugan had a 51-yard kickoff return in the second half and Austin Dodd had a 23-yard punt return. In additino, Jermond Bryant-Amos got off a 53-yard punt.

Impaired Driving: A Deadly Danger at Thanksgiving By Johanna Hicks
Texas A&M AgriLife Extension and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) have joined forces this Thanksgiving holiday to remind drivers that whether under the influence of illegal drugs, prescription drugs, or alcohol, any form of impaired driving is deadly and dangerous — and illegal. The message is clear: If You Feel Different, You Drive Different. Drive Sober During Thanksgiving.
Too often, while celebrating with family and friends over Thanksgiving weekend, impaired drivers get behind the wheel, but whether impaired by alcohol, marijuana, or anything else, it can be deadly to drive under the influence. No one should ever take that risk. Drunk driving-related crashes spike during the Thanksgiving holiday. According to the NHTSA, from 2013 to 2017, more than 800 people died in alcohol-impaired driving crashes during the Thanksgiving holiday week — Wednesday, 6 p.m., to Monday, 5:59 a.m. — making it the deadliest holiday on not only Texas roadways, but across the U.S.
In fact, during 2017, more than one out of every three traffic fatalities during the Thanksgiving holiday week involved an alcohol-impaired driver. Also, a new threat is emerging: Drug-impaired driving. From 2007 to 2016, marijuana usage doubled among drivers killed in crashes, and in 2016, 42 percent of the drivers killed in fatal crashes who were tested revealed to test positive for drug-use while driving.
Excessive alcohol and drug intoxication are also prevalent over Thanksgiving, due in part to cultural phenomenon’s like “Blackout Wednesday” and “Danksgiving,” which highlight and even encourage the heavy consumption of alcohol and marijuana throughout the holiday weekend. That is why this Thanksgiving holiday, the NHTSA and its partners are doing even more to save lives on the road. A nationwide social media blitz, featuring the hashtags #BoycottBlackoutWednesday and #DitchDanksgiving, will help deliver some new life-saving messages into the public conversation and encourage positive actions that can help reduce the danger of impaired driving on the roadways.
Impaired driving, in any form, is illegal in all 50 U.S. states. Whether a person is feeling a little high, buzzed, stoned, wasted, or drunk, he or she is impaired and should never get behind the wheel. Texas A&M AgriLife Extension’s “Watch UR BAC” program recommends these simple tips to stay safe on the road while celebrating this Thanksgiving:
· Choose non-alcoholic beverages – hot cider and hot chocolate are good cold-weather beverages.
· Plan a way to safely get home before the Thanksgiving festivities begin.
· Always designate a sober driver.
· If you are impaired, take a taxi, call a sober friend or family member, or use public transportation.
· Download the NHTSA’s SaferRide mobile app, which helps identify a sober ride home and a location for pickup.
· If a driver on the road appears impaired, contact local law enforcement.
· If someone you know is about to drive while impaired, take their keys and help them make safe, sober travel arrangements to where they are going.
By working together, everyone involved can save lives and help keep America’s roadways safe. Please join or start the conversation to reduce the danger of impaired driving by sharing the life-saving message: “Drive Sober During Thanksgiving,” and by using the hashtags #BoycottBlackoutWednesday and #DitchDanksgiving on social media this Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Focus on friends, family, and thankfulness – and as I always tell my kids (even though they are now adults), make wise choices!
Twogether In Texas
Christmas is a popular time for couples to get engaged. This can be an exciting time, but also the beginning of a stressful time of planning, finding a venue, hiring professionals, considering finances, and much more.
“Twogether in Texas” to the rescue! This is a marriage education workshop to help couples prepare for a lifetime of marriage. I offer the workshop three times each year, and the next one is scheduled for Saturday, February 9, 2019, 8:30 a.m. to approximately 3:30 p.m., at the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Office, 1200 W. Houston Street, in Sulphur Springs. Topics will include: marriage expectations, communication, conflict resolution, money management, and goal setting.
The workshop is open to engaged couples, seriously dating couples, and married couples. Engaged couples have an extra bonus, because a certificate to save $60 upon applying for a marriage license will be given at the conclusion of the workshop. Coffee, water and refreshments will be served during the morning sessions, followed by lunch, which is complementary to all couples. More refreshments will be served during the afternoon sessions, so no one will leave hungry!
We are currently taking reservations, so if you or someone you know, might be interested in attending, please call 903-885-3443.
Closing Thought
“Don’t use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved” – Lecrae
The Many Reasons to be Thankful By Mario Villarino
As I was looking back at 2018, I was reflecting as how much the year changed during it evolvement. As we started with a mostly drought season, we pass thru an “Army-worm October” into a flooded season to end on a cold winter spell.
This year could not be anything different almost every month. One thing in common is the impact of the weather into our hay production. Traditionally, our pastures can support our livestock with hay produced and room to sell. As we move on into the harvesting season, many hay producers sold out their hay crop as record high prices climbed up.
Early on the year, the drought was the most concerning effect. As temperatures dropped and rain came in, it was the flooding that created damage.
Beef producers should be making plans regarding their herds in case hay shortage conditions continue, said a Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service expert. Beef producers might start considering culling options in case drought conditions continue to decrease forage and hay availability.
Dr. Jason Banta, AgriLife Extension beef cattle specialist, Overton, said a shortage of forage and hay could mean producers will be forced to reduce herd numbers. Having a plan to cull herds can save producers money in the short- and long-term. Banta said there was very little hay carryover from last year due to the extended winter.
Cooler than normal temperatures into spring also meant the first hay cutting, which is typically one of the best, was subpar. The second cutting was also below normal in quantity and quality due to drought, he said. Drought conditions are also affecting hay availability in other nearby states, including Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas.“That means hay supplies will be tight,” he said. “A lot of producers are getting worried, and their concerns are justified.”Herd sizes have also increased over the past several years, he said.“That complicates things more,” he said. “It means they will need to look at stocking rates and begin thinking about reducing their herd numbers to save some forage supplies and reduce the need for hay in the winter.” Producers should adjust stocking rates to avoid overgrazing pastures, Banta said.
If moisture is received overgrazing makes it more difficult for grasses to recover.To capitalize on rain, producers should consider keeping a nitrogen fertilizer source with low volatility on better-producing pastures, Banta said. Ammonium nitrate can sit on fields for several weeks with very little or no volatilization concerns. “There should be nitrogen on pastures in the event that an unexpected rain comes,” he said. “It’s important because you never know when we might get moisture. It takes less rain to produce one ton of forage when there is good nitrogen available. So, it’s best to capitalize on any moisture we get.”Banta said producers should also be mindful to maintain cow body condition.
Keeping weight on cows is much easier than recovering lost pounds. Producers may want to wean calves one to two months earlier than usual to help keep cows in better shape going into winter, he said.“Letting a cow get below a body condition score of 4 will increase the cost to get them back to where they need to be,” he said. “A bred cow will do what she has to do to bring her calf to term, but getting her bred the next time is what we’re trying to preserve.”Banta said the U.S. cattle herd is the biggest it’s been since 2009 so producers need to maximize the value of culls amid lower prices. Poor body conditions can mean even lower prices and lower weights. Taking culls to market in good condition can help maximize dollars per head. If conditions continue to decline, Banta said producers should be prepared to cull their herds.“There is no perfect strategy, but there are different options when it comes to culling,” he said.Cows with problems, such as bad udders, bad feet, a bad eye or temperament should always be the first to go.
If additional herd reduction is needed, the list below presents one option:
a) virgin replacement heifers, b) late calvers. C) 2-year-old cows (they have the lowest reproductive rates). d) 3-year-old cows, e) mature cows (least affected by difficult conditions).
Producers have had to feed more hay this year due to extended cold weather this spring. Cooler than normal temperatures also slowed the emergence of warm-season grasses before hot, dry conditions set in.
“Virgin replacement heifers are at the top of the list to sell first because those heifers generally have good value as feeder heifers or for breeding in other parts of the country,” he said. “There are pros and cons to every strategy, the pros of this approach are lower feed costs and more calf income in the short run. However, it will mean higher replacement rates over a short period of time in the future.”
Another strategy is to sell the traditional culls, followed by the late-calvers and any cows age 11 or older. After that a percentage from each remaining group, including virgin heifers, young cows and mature cows, would be sold. This approach keeps the herd age structure intact, but results in higher feed costs and less calves to sell in the short term.
“Cattle prices are lower than in previous droughts so producers can’t spend as much on feed and expect a return when they go to sale,” he said. “We’re not at the point to cull that deep, but it is time to plan and possibly initiate the first parts of the plan. The key is to be ahead of things rather than having to react to a bad situation.”
