NETBIO Requests Local Help To Assist South Texas Ranchers in Need
A SOUTH TEXAS RANCHER TRYING TO SWIM A COW TO HIGHER GROUND
If you’d like to help the Northeast Texas Cattleman’s’ Beef Improvement Organization assist flooded farmers and ranchers in the Southeast Texas area, here is a local donation opportunity sent by Dwyatt Bell, NETBIO President
The NETBIO organization is receiving donations and purchasing hay and other items that we are shipping directly to the South Texas Independent Cattlemen in Beaumont and Winnie. Since Friday we have purchased and shipped 1,718 square bales, two pallets of feed, 640 bottles of water and some dog food. All the items purchased were discounted to cover cost as was the shipping cost. We have had ranchers here donate 7 loads of round hay but we do not at this time have the money for the freight. We started raising money Friday and received $7K to start the account. The items already shipped will run around $13K and it will cost about $8K more to ship the donated hay. 100% of the donations go to the ranchers in the Winnie TX area. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.
Checks should be made out to NETBIO Harvey Relief Fund and mailed to NETBIO PO Box 1250 Sulphur Springs TX, 75483
Pallets of feed shipped from Potts Feed Store in Quitman on Sunday September 3, 2017 which included cases of water and 580 square bales of hay for Winnie, Texas

Burkett Announces Candidacy for Republican Nomination for Texas Senate District 2
Cindy Burkett announced her candidacy for the Republican nomination for Texas Senate saying she will work hard to turn the conservative values “we share into the principles our State lives by.” She will challenge Republican State Senator Bob Hall. (see video below)
She says, “Our families need property tax relief. I will deliver results. Our kids need us to fix our broken school finance system. I can get it done. Liberal courts are now trying to undo the Sanctuary City Ban and every part of my groundbreaking pro-life legislation. But I am more confident than ever that we will prevail.
“My Christian values, my hard work, and my love of family have set the course for my life. I am proud of where they have led me. But I am now undertaking one more important challenge.
As a conservative state representative in Texas House District 113, Cindy helped balance the State budget, passed the largest border security plan in Texas history, banned sanctuary cities, defunded Planned Parenthood, passed Open Carry, cut taxes by $5 billion, and helped make Texas the best.”

Owens Review Game on Saturday Morning Coach’s Show
Wildcats Football Coach Greg Owens said his team still has a lot of work to do on a lot of things but he pointed out lots of positives in the Wildcats 42-21 win at Sherman Friday night. Coach Owens was on the KSST Radio and Channel 18 TV’s Saturday Morning Coach’s Show. He said it was exciting watching the explosiveness of the Wildcats’ offense. The Wildcats had 480 yards of offense with 249 yards rushing and 231 yards passing.
Coach Owens said on defense, the Wildcats played extremely hard and ran to the ball well. He said basically they gave up two big plays. Both involved broken tackles. There was a long quarterback run up the middle and a wide receiver long run after a catch. Coach Owens said other than that, Sherman did not move the ball until very late in the game. He said the Wildcats controlled the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. The Wildcats also used a lot of players. Coach Owens said a strength of the team is its depth and they are guys who can play.
Defensive Coordinator Triston Abron challenged the defense and they held big Sherman back Nate Omayebu pretty much in check. Coach Owens praised the defense of linebacker Jaxon Reneau, defensive linemen D’Idrec Dugan and Calvin Eckert , sophomore linebacker Kylan Wade and defensive back Terrell Turman.
Coach Owens talked about an odd touchdown run by quarterback D’Corian Young after a good fake to back Cason Goodson. It seemed to baffle everyone including the entire officiating crew and the Sherman p.a. announcer and score keeper. On offense, Coach Owens liked the play of quarterback Ryan Humphries, receivers Simeon Taylor and Landry Tyson and the offensive line. He said a run from punt formation by punder Angel Tavera seemed to change the momentum in the game. Coach Owens said it was Tavera’s decision to run adding he has the green light to do so.
Coach Owens also gave an update on injured Wildcats Offensive Lineman Charlie Maddux. Maddux fell from a vehicle and hit his head near the high school parking lot last week. Coach Owens said Maddux is showing good signs of recovery. Before Friday’s game, Maddux was moved to a private room at Trinity Mother Francis Hospital in Tyler.
The Wildcats will play The Avalon School of Gaithersburg, Maryland this Friday at 7:30 p.m. at the newly renovated Gerald Prim Stadium.
