Seawall Commissioners receive ‘Thanks’ for recent projects
BY TERRY MOSIER
A round of ‘thanks’ were offered at last
week’s regular scheduled meeting of the
Matagorda County Seawall Commission.
The first ‘thank you’ to the Seawall Commission was extended by the Grassy Point
Bait Camp, who expressed their gratitude and
relayed some of the praise of fishermen for
the nearly completed Grassy Point Road (East
Bayshore Drive). The construction is mostly
complete and just a few items need to be finished up.
The final payment on the project should be
released at the next meeting if the items are
completed.
The other ‘Thank You’ to the Commissioners came via Gary Hafernick, Chairman of the
City’s Parks and Recreation Committee, who
thanked the Commissioners for their assistance during the past year for improvements
provided to the area along the bay front.
Hafternick also presented some Parks and
Rec. Committee ideas for future improvements to the Commissioners. The ideas
ranged from additional solar trash compactors, a four feet wide Americans with Disabil-

Sales tax revenue record set in 2012 falls in Oct. 2013
BY BRANDI G. WEST
Palacios Beacon
The City of Palacios sales tax rebate check remains
on the rise for the month of October and has all ready
surpassed years past totals.
October’s rebate of $84,923 will be received this
month from the State Comptroller’s office.
The October rebate was a hefty increase of
47.49-percent over what was received in the same
month of last year, surpassing the total year to date
rebate to $733,600. Last year, 2012’s, rebate totaled
$665,196 which was a record breaking year.
Thus far the sales tax revenue rebates has been
monumental this year making 2013 the year to
surpass in the future.
According to the State Comptroller’s office the
increase is due to one sole entity within the city.
Entities contacted by the Palacios Beacon have
not been forthcoming or assumed responsibility for
the well-appreciated up tick in sales tax revenue
generation.
October’s rebates reflect sales from August and
are reported to the State Comptroller in September.
Comparison of sales tax is also followed by the area
13 cities, including Palacios, in Calhoun, Jackson,
Matagorda, Wharton Counties and two cities in
Brazoria County.
Less than half of 13 area cities received less this
month when compared to October 2012. The five
cities rising above last year’s figures in October
sales tax revenue were: East Bernard, La Ward, Point
Comfort, Wharton, and Seadrift.
Despite this month falling short on revenue for
most cities, year to date the majority of area cities
are sitting pretty. Year to date rebates in the following
area cities have surpassed the year to date rebates
in 2012: Bay City, East Bernard, Edna, El Campo,
Ganado, Point Comfort, Port Lavaca, and Seadrift.
According to State Comptroller Susan Combs,
“State sales tax revenue collections continued to
grow at a moderate pace.”
“Growth was led by collections from construction,
telecommunications and retail sectors. State sales
tax revenue has now increased for 42 consecutive
months,” said Combs.
Totals for the 12 other area cities are listed as
follows: Oct. 2013 rebate, Oct. 2012 rebate, percentage

Ducks Unlimited says water-use decisions
not as simple as critters vs. people
Press Release from Cucks Unlimited
Contact: Andi Cooper 601-956-1936
As the Lower Colorado
River Authority (LCRA)
seeks permission from the
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to cut off
inflows to Matagorda Bay,
Ducks Unlimited reminds
Texans of the intrinsic link
between environment and
economy along the Colorado
River and the need for all
users to share in conserving
water.
For shrimpers, farmers,
fishing guides and birding
eco-tourism businesses, the
economy is directly tied to
ecosystem services, especially the freshwater supply. For
others, the economy is tied to
business, industry, real estate
or other jobs, but all of them
require water.
“Every individual, every
occupation, every community depends on water, and
there is presently not enough
to meet all demands,” DU
Conservation Outreach Biologist Kirby Brown said during a LCRA board meeting
in September. “The reality
of the immediate situation is
that all users should conserve
equally and as much as possible. In the longer view, we
must look at all the triggers
for water conservation. The
VOTE
ones we have now
are clearly coming
up short, and water
conservation is the
only immediate solution.”
Brown encouraged Texans
to remember that water is required for all life and livelihoods, and that all users must
take part in conserving this
limited resource.
“We are in a severe drought,
potentially worse than the
drought of the 1950s,” Brown
said. “Yet there continues to
be a lack of understanding of
the situation by our communities and the public. Cities
use anemic water-conservation policies that continue to
allow non-essential uses of
water while criticizing and
politicizing agricultural and
environmental water uses
and crying out that it’s a ‘critters’ versus people debate.
That’s an oversimplified and
ineffective approach to the
problem, and it needs to be
corrected. ”
Water allocation decisions
are not about “critters” versus
people. They are about a sustainable supply of water that
can support all aspects of a
complex, basin-wide regional economy and ecosystem.
Reflecting on the current
water allocation policies in
the state, Brown feels current
water use priorities are out-

dated and unsustainable.
“How is watering the lawn
weekly, or keeping golf
courses and business grounds
green, a matter of public
health and safety or a beneficial use of water during these
times of severe drought?”
Brown asked. “If the public
doesn’t start thinking along
those lines and share water
conservation responsibilities
equally, then we are going
to debate and argue the issue
while the supply continues to
dwindle and limit our economy.”
Along the Texas MidCoast, rice farmers have been
cut off for two years, but the
Highland Lakes continue to
go down. Now the LCRA is
proposing the cutoff of critical freshwater inflows to bays
and estuaries, while an estimated 50 to 75 percent of the
residential water currently
being used is dumped on the
ground for non-essential use.
“Cities and communities,
which are justly worried
about their economies in the
face of limited water, are
calling for halts in environmental and agricultural uses
while not taking a hard look
in the mirror at their nonessential uses,” Brown said.
“Cities must recognize their
water-conservation policies
are not working and make
responsible changes. Communities must believe there
is a legitimate threat to public
health and safety to address
the serious drought. As long
as residents can water weekly, they will continue to think
‘What’s the emergency?’”
In the meantime, the cutoff of water to rice farmers is
crushing the rural economy
of three coastal counties on
the lower Colorado River
and creating a food-supply
deficit for more than 600,000
ducks on the Texas MidCoast. Environmental flows
currently being considered
for cutoff are necessary for
the habitat that supports 60
to 80 percent of the continental redhead duck population
and critical fisheries. Texas
waterfowl hunting alone
provides more than $204
million in annual economic
input, and annual revenues
from wildlife tourism, including hunting, fishing and
wildlife watching in Texas
top $5 billion.“Ducks Unlimited understands that there is
simply not enough water to
meet all needs at present, and
natural resources and downstream economies should and
have shared in restrictions
and conservation measures,”
Brown said. “Common-sense
water-allocation policy is
required in these times. The
luxuries of lush, green lawns
and squeaky-clean cars each
week are relics of a bygone
era of conspicuous consumption possible in times
of greater rainfall. Now, our
ecosystems and the economies they support must come
first.”
Ducks Unlimited Inc. is
the world’s largest non-profit
organization dedicated to
conserving North America’s
continually disappearing waterfowl habitats. Established
in 1937, Ducks Unlimited
has conserved more than 13
million acres thanks to contributions from more than a
million supporters across the
continent. Guided by science
and dedicated to program efficiency, DU works toward
the vision of wetlands sufficient to fill the skies with waterfowl today, tomorrow and
forever. For more information on our work, visit www.

Capital Murder charges filed on Gonzales man
GONZALES: Capital murder charges are filed on Daniel
Ramirez, 30, after a shootout with local law enforcement
during a narcotics investigation. During the incident, an
active and ongoing narcotics investigation in northern
Gonzales County on County Road 44B, one of the men
opened fire on the Gonzales County deputies. The remote
pasture of marijuana plants is where the deputies, with no
other choice but to return fire, killed 21-year old Jose Luis
Millian. “When the officers identified themselves as sheriff’s
office deputies, one of the individuals opened fire on the
deputies,” said Gonzales County Sheriff Glen Sachtleben.
According the Sachtleben, the amount of marijuana is
significant as being one of the largest if not the largest
ever found in the county with an estimated 4,000 plus
plants. “The unfortunate shooting of one of the violators
is being investigated by the Texas Rangers as the Sheriff’s
Office does not investigate itself,” Sachtleben said. –The

Unbuckled child leads to cocaine bust
EL CAMPO: Pierce station state troopers are at it again;
working tirelessly to ensure illegal activity is reprimanded
and drugs stay off the streets. Earlier this month Trooper
Thomas Arriaga was patrolling US 59 when he noticed a
child was riding in a van without a seatbelt. The interview
led to inconsistent travel plans and Arriaga’s suspicions of
illegal activity was accurate. With the help of troopers Bruce
Cipriani and Alfred Ochoa the vehicle was searched and
14 bundles of cocaine were found in the right rear quarter
panel of the van. The bundles totaled 37 pounds of cocaine
an estimated $457,205.33 street value. “Like always, we
are more than happy to find dope and put crooks in jail,”
Ochoa said. - El Campo Leader-News
Scientists take to Port A to study BP spill effects
PORT ARANSAS: Scientists from around the nation
working together in Port Aransas with plankton ecologist
Ed Buskey with the University of Texas Marine Science
Institute. The findings are the dispersants used to break
up the Deepwater Horizon oil spill were actually more
harmful to specific tiny Gulf of Mexico creatures than the
oil itself. “We find that things like zooplankton are actually
eating the lightly larger oil droplets,” Buskey said. Also
the dispersants were two to three times more toxic to the
zooplankton, a fundamental building block in the food chain,
than the oil. Also according to Buskey, oil has always been
in the environment and nature has evolved to accommodate
that and that while the spill (Deepwater Horizon oil spill)
was big the Gulf of Mexico is significantly bigger.-Port

Sheriff soliciting donations
for purchase of new drug dog
Matagorda County Sheriff
Frank “Skipper” Osborne is
asking for donations for the
purchase of a new drug dog.
The cost of a new dog is an
estimated $7,500.
‘Roxie’ is currently
Matagorda County Sheriff’s
office drug dog and has been
on the drug force for 10 years
and is ready for retirement.
“I’m asking for anyone’s
help, if you would be so kind,”
said Osborne.
Roxie has been on the drug
force since she was received
from the San Antonio Police
TAX
Department over two years
ago.
“Due to her age and heavy
workload, Roxie is developing
the beginning stages of arthritis
in her hips,” commented
Osborne.
The medication is costly but
necessary to ease her pain and
stiffness.
“It is time for her to be able
to play instead of working
grueling hours,” said Osborne.
Matagorda County Sheriff’s
office first drug dog, ‘Bear’
was awarded in 1988 and was
purchased for about $1,200.

Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in
God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are
may mansions; if it were not so, I would have told
you. I go to prepare a place for you, I will come
again and receive you to Myself; that were I am,
there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you
know.,Thomas said to Him. “Lord we do not know where You are

Evelyn Bowers, 82, of Palacios
were held on October 11, 2013
at the First Baptist Church in

February 25, 1931 to the late
Dennic Clary and Pearl Mae
Clary in Palacios and went to
be with the Lord on Tuesday,
October 8, 2013. Mittis was devoted to her
family and loved being surrounded by her kids and grandkids. She loved the Lord and
was an active member of First Baptist Church in Palacios.
She is survived by her husband of 61 years, Ray Edwin Bowers; daughters Janet Martin & husband Jay of
Beeville, TX and Merrianne Pringle & husband Steve of
Houston; son Dennis Ray Bowers & wife Lee Ann of Palacios; grandchildren Justin & Tammy Bowers of Spring,
Kristen & Nick Christopher of Richmond, Stacy & J. D.
Greenawalt of Bay City, Shannon Bowers of Huntsville,
Chris Pringle of Houston & Kevin Pringle of New York;
eight great grandchildren; niece Susan Furman & husband

visiting www.taylorbros.net. Arrangements were made
with Palacios Funeral Home in Palacios. Alapha Club celebrates life of
2nd First Lady, Abigail Adams
At the October 7 meeting
of the Alapha Club, members
were asked to respond to the
question: “if you were First
Lady, how would you want
to influence America?” Responses ranged from teaching
family values to an emphasis
on education and conservation. The response that received the most enthusiasm
was “as First Lady, I would
do everything in my power
to make members of Congress learn problem-solving
skills!”
The program presented by
Leala Kahlich, Miss Murphy, and Sue Stacy emphasized the contributions of
Abigail Adams, the second
First Lady (who was also
the first Second Lady, as
her husband John Adams
was the first Vice President)
and mother to John Quincy
Adams, the sixth President.
Members were shown excerpts of a PBS movie on
John and Abigail Adams and
their incredible love story.
The letters written between
John and Abigail spoke of
great love and friendship and
we learned that Abigail was
very astute in her political
thinking. While her husband
was President she was one
of his most trusted advisers,
sometimes called “Mrs. President”. She also pushed for
more rights for women, although it would be 150 years
before women received the
right to vote. Abigail died in
1818 at age 73.
Where there’s a WILL, there’s a way!
Do you have a Will? Between half and two-third of American adults do not. A Will helps
ensure that whatever personal belongings and assets you own will go to family or beneficiaries that you designate. If you do not have a Will, a court decides who gets your assets.
With a Will, you can appoint a guardian of your minor children, decide who will inherit
your money and who will inherit your property. You may also take advantage of the tax
benefits that a Will offers.
Put your mind at ease, and create a Will during our ONE-TIME SPECIAL.
For $550.00, The Chau Law Firm, P.C. will draft: a living will, HIPPA release, power of
attorneys, and instructions for burial remains. You qualify for this special if your estate is
worth less than $500,000. A minimum $200.00 retainer is required, with the remainder due
on November 16, 2013.
What to do:
1) Contact our offices for a packet to be sent to you
2) Fill out the packet and return it to us with all the paperwork signed and filled out with the retainer paid
3) Save November 16, 2013 in your calendar!
We will take care of the rest! Do not miss this opportunity to put your mind at ease regarding yourfuture and the future of your loved ones!

BY Chinatu Gladrich
AgriLife Extension Agent-Matagorda County
Halloween is a particularly
deadly night due to the high
number of drunk drivers on
the road. In 2012, Texas lost
15 motorists from Friday,
October 28, through Wednesday, October 31. The Saturday prior to Halloween was
a particularly deadly night,
with 10 Texans losing their
lives in alcohol-related crashes.
Texas law enforcement
officers remind drivers that
they will be out in force looking for drunk drivers. If you
as scary as impaired drivers
do not drive sober, you will
get pulled over. Young men
are particularly at risk of being involved in a traffic crash
as a result of “buzzed” or
drunk driving.
“With
drunk
driving,
there’s no trick and there’s no
treat,” said Chinatu Gladrich,
AgriLife Extension agent for
Matagorda County. “We want
all our residents to remember
that Halloween is about kids
and
trick-or-treating—not
about seeing how much alcohol they can drink.”
Palacios Library’s annual
Havest Moon Dinner &
Dance set for Oct 26

dancing. Cocktail attire is recommended.

internet access at Palacios and Blessing libraries, the after-school homework assistance program for Palacios’
students, and library improvements, equipment, and

to: Friends of Palacios Library, P. O. Box 2, Palacios,
TX 77465. Century Club Members receive admission
for 2 to the annual Harvest Moon Dinner Dance.
Put Saturday, October 26, on your calendar, and join
the crowd at the Palacios Recreation Center for a fun
evening of dinner, dancing, and entertainment.

Moon Dinner Dance, please call: 361-972-3234, or call

Pantry Patter Veteran Services
Officer to be at

The Robert Duran
Caring & Sharing Food Pantry
BY FRAN FULLER
September passed without
a hurricane - thankfully. At
times at the food pantry - it
seemed a mighty wind had
passed through - Trinity Baptist Youth came and packed
our boxes. Our nominee for
Volunteers of the year is the
Trinity Baptist Youth - the
United Way had a Kick-off
luncheon at Bay City Country Club and several of the
pantry bunch attended, plus
the honorees, Jeanne Wilson
and two others. A lovely
time to enjoy this honor.
We were blessed several
times with the presence of
Angels -- that is Angels from
Care Home Health out of Bay
City -- Leslie Rodriguez and
Haley E. Garcia. They came
and volunteered and offered
help to all in need.
The pantry is running a
little short of plastic bags
to bag our groceries. If you
have some extra (and who
doesn’t?) we would appreciate having them. Just drop
them by most mornings during the week.
Where Caring Is Our Calling
VFW Post 2467 announced that Jason Sanders, Matagorda County Veterans Service Officer will
be holding a Q&A seminar
for all local veterans who
may have questions or concerns about their veteran
benefits, at the VFW Hall
located at 200 Commerce
in Palacios on Oct 30 at 6
p.m. VFW membership is
not required to attend. Any
veteran who may have a
pending VA claim and has
questions, are asked to
bring their documentation.
This is a great opportunity
for all veterans to learn
more about their benefits
and some of the newest
changes to those benefits
so please try to attend. For
more information contact
Gus Valcik, Post Commander, at 361-935-5052.
Driving while impaired is
a crime that seriously risks
your safety and the safety of
those around you. Whether
you have had one too many or
are way over the limit, drunk
driving is not worth causing
a traffic crash, serious injury,
or worse—death.
The legal and financial
costs of driving while impaired can be significant.
Drunk driving violators often
face jail time, the loss of their
driver’s license, higher insurance rates, use of an ignition
interlock, and dozens of other
unanticipated expenses rang-
ing from attorney fees, court
costs, car towing and repairs,
and lost wages due to time off
from work.
Plan ahead so that you
don’t turn the roads into a real-life horror show. If you are
going to a party, plan a way
to safely get home at the end
of the night.

invited to expand their paddling horizons by equipping
themselves with a keen appreciation for the ins and outs
of camping at remote and
primitive waterfront locations. The Matagorda County
Birding Nature Center, near
Bay City, will again offer
its annual two-part outdoors
knowledge and skills course,
The Heart Beat
of the Universe
(Philippians 2:4-8 NKLV) “ Let each of you look out not
only for his own interests, but also for the interests of
others. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ
Jesus, who being in the form of God, did not consider it
robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no
reputation taking the form of a servant, and coming in
the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a
man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the
point of death, even the death of the cross.”
Selfish, self-centered, self-seeking, self-fulfilling,
these words conjure up a lot in our minds when we
think about them don’t they? And let’s be honest with
ourselves; when we think of these words, we typically
think of others that we know, don’t we?
The fragile nature on us how important it is for us to appreciate the life that we’ve been blessed with. He wants
us to make the most of it, each and every single day.
Being self-centered is easy for most of us. It almost
second nature if we live by the flesh. If we live by God’s
Spirit, though, being selfish will become more and
more difficult to do.
God wants us to consider others and see them as being
important. We’re put here to love God be a light to this
sighing, dying, humanity of this world.
Take a few minutes today to ask God if your life is
imparting anyone else around you in a positive way.
Our lives should be a light to them without us having
to preach to them or quote scriptures to them. It’s not
about how many Bible verses we quote on a daily basis,
but what we say and do in everyday settings and situations that imprints the most! It is up to us to love them
and impact their lives with our own lives. God has
equipped us for this!

pavilion from 9:20 a.m. until

gear, foods, shelter, destination and campsite selection;
safety and emergency management. Session #2 will be
a guided 18-mile overnight
float trip down the Colorado
River on Dec. 14 and 15. This

of an experienced expedition
paddler. The course is limited to ten (10) individuals, 18
or older, possessing the confidence they can cover 8-10
miles per day on slow-moving flat water. The cost is $50
per person and covers two
light meals; shuttle, guide, instruction and trip leadership

The library received memorials in memory of Herb
James from the Palacios Lion’s Club and Paul Cooper
by Beverly Behnke.
We are getting ready for our annual Harvest Moon Ball
and on display in the library is a quilt made by Mary Kay
Beard. This quilt will be used for our loud auction along
with a few other items; there will be many items for the
silent auction as well.
This week we talked about autumn and what makes our
leaves turn colors and fall off the trees. Everyone made
leaf rubbings. Last week we learned all about whales
during Story Hour. Miss Vikijane read Wilma On Her
Own, a story about a young Beluga Whale in a bay near
Nova Scotia. We did some whale work sheets and drew
some whales. More recently volunteer reader Rev. Chris
Webb told the children about gold and the Gold Rush
and read From Gold to Money by Ali Mitgtsch, Clementine by Ann Owen, and Swamp Angel by Ann Isaacs.
Later he demonstrated how to pan for gold and everyone
worked on gold mining pages. Story hour is every Tuesday at 10 a.m.; any child who is at home during the day
is welcome to come. We have fun reading new books
and doing crafts. We have just received some new First
Books which we will be giving away each week, home
schoolers are also welcome.
All children in need of help with homework may sign
up for our Homework program which lasts from 4:15
until 5:45, Monday through Thursday. All children must
bring everything they need to complete their homework.
So far we have had over 30 students who regularly attend. Our computers are here for tools to help children
to complete their homework and also for learning games
that will help strengthen their learning abilities. If you
would like to find out more about our homework program please call the library at 972-3234.

taken for a ride by Hallettsville Juinor High
Yearlings on the gridiron last week.
The 8th grade Sandsharks were toppled by

The Yearlings bolted out of the gates and
staked out a 20-0 first quarter lead.
The Sandshark 8th answered back in the
second quarter and cut the lead to 20-6, when
Chase Ford connected with Amos Haynes on
a 50-yard touchdown pass.
After holding the Yearlings scoreless for
the second and third quarters, Hallettsville
added two more scores in the fourth quarter.
“The defense played well,” said coach
Rene Valdez, “but we have to play for four
full quarters and not just three.”
Palacios scored on a 10-yard run by Johnny
Garcia with less than two minutes remaining
in the game to close the gape to 36-12.
Sandshark 7th
The PJHS Sandshark 7th fell to Hallettsville 44-8.
“We knew Hallettsville would be one of

were,” said Palacios coach Bill Fort. “The
kids played hard but were just outmatched.”
The Sandsharks scored the games first points
on a 65-yard run by Andrew Manrriquez.
Manrriquez also punched in the two point
conversion to give Palacios an 8-0 lead.

Tigers dealt 21-7 loss by VV Leps
The Tidehaven Tigers had
an opportunity against Van
Vleck last Friday to inch
closer towards a playoff
berth, but a second half rally allowed the Leopards to
sneak out of El Maton with a
21-7 win.
The two Matagorda County
feline rivals (and Dist. 13-2A
DII rivals) were in a slug fest
early in the game as the two
teams battled to a 7-7 score at
halftime.

The Leopards managed to
take advantage of a sputtering
Tiger offense to pull ahead
with an early third quarter
score and put the game away
for good with a late fourth
quarter touchdown.
Tidehaven’s lone score
came from Jason Fitzgerald, who rushed the ball four
times for 60-yards and the
TD.
Eric Villareal picked up
128-yards on 19 carries and
Nathan Galvan had three carries for 12 years.
Tidehaven QB Brandon
Litzau was 7-13 passing for
53-yards and one interception. He also rushed four
times for 23 yards.
Rodrick Fisher was the
teams leading receiver with
one catch for a team high
23-yards.
The Tigers will continue
their fight for a playoff berth
this Friday as they visit the
winless Hitchcock Bulldogs
at 7:30 p.m. in Hitchcock.

No. 4 State-ranked Brahmas trample Sharks 51-0
BY RYAN WEST
Palacios Beacon Editor
The Palacios Sharks ran
into a buzzsaw last Friday
Night as the Hallettsville
Brahmas came into Shark
Stadium and annihilated the
Sharks in the Dist. 14-2A
contest 51-0.
Things got ugly, and got
ugly quick for the Sharks in
the shutout loss, the first since
2010’s 53-0 schellacking by
Columbia’s Roughnecks.
The Brahmas stampeded
through the Shark defense for
480-total yards while surrenduring just 146.
Defensively, the Sharks
looked to make a game of
things early on and forced
a Brahma punt on their initial posession. But once the
Brahmas found their stride,
there wasn’t any slowing the
thundering herd.
Hallettsville QB Nate
Kowalik assaulted the Sharks
through the air on 14-26 passing for 250-yards and three
touchdown tosses.
On the flip side, Palacios’
Cameron Sides completed
8-17 passes for 54-yards and
was intercepted three times.
The Shark rushing attacked
was limited to 94-yards on 26
attempts. Chris Garcia led the
Sharks with 72-yards on the
ground.
The Shark offense has sputtered and stalled in the last
two games, and have been
outscored 108-7.
“I know people are getting
impatient and wanting immediate results,” said Palacios
head coach Brad Bowden,
“but we’re not quite 100-percent yet.”
“We’ll throw a screen pass
and miss one block that kills
the play when everyone else
gets their block,” explained

Bowden.
“We haven’t had the big
plays, which means we need
consistent drives and we’re
making too many mistakes
to have several 13-14 play
drives a game
After the shutout loss Shark
head coach Brad Bowden
said, “I told the kids Friday
night, I take the blame for all
of it.
“The last thing we need is
kids pointing fingers, trying
to rationalize it or make excuses.”
“We’re just not good
enough yet, and that goes
back to our preparation,”
added Bowden.
“I feel our kids show up
and play hard on Friday
nights but we’re not improving in practice as efficiently
as we should be.”
“We need to make sure we,
as a team, show up Mon. Thurs. and we’re working as
hard as we can in practice to
get better. That’s where we
correct the mistakes, imrpove
on what we’re doing right
and battling back.”
“Everybody has to get better at what their doing. We
need to improve our practices, and give our offense
a good picture on the scout
teams.
“The main thing,” said
Bowden, “ is for the kids to
just keep going. The persistence that if you work hard
and do right long enough you
will be rewarded. It’s just a
matter ofh keep working and
keep going.”
For the Sharks (0-1, 1-4)
the loss was Palacios’ 14th
consecutive District loss.
The last District win for the
Sharks came in the 2009 season finale against the Gonzales Apaches.
Things won’t be getting
any easier for the Sharks,
who will travel Hempstead to
face the Bobcats at 7:30 p.m.
this Friday (Oct. 18)
The Bobcats shredded the
Sharks 40-20 last season.
Hempstead is currently the
District’s leading offense, av-
eraging over 410-yards per
game, most of which comes
on the ground.
Bobcat junior QB Will
Smith has already rushed
for 1,073 yards and has an
11.92-yards per carry average.
SHARK Chris Deleon has a firm grasp of Brahma QB
Nate Kowalik, but indicative of how things went for the
Sharks, Kowalik’s pass on this play went for a touchdown. (Beacon Photo by Ryan West)
