Santa is on his way
Saturday, December 14th, was a
busy day in Allen . . . especially
for Santa!
That jolly old man arrived on
the fire truck at 3:00 pm and made
his way to a specially made chair
in the Memory Lane gazebo.
There he took requests and visited with area children. He gave
each youngster a bag of candy,
courtesy of the Allen Chamber
of Commerce, and then continued on his way to the Woodland
Hills Nursing Home. He took

time with each resident and staff
member, distributed fruit to the
residents, and then boarded the
truck to travel back to his sleigh
for the return trip to the North
Pole.
While he was bringing joy to
the WHNH residents, locals gathered at the Allen Food Center with
the tickets they had acquired from
the Chamber’s “Shop at Home”
campaign with high hope of taking home the new TV or one of
the other prizes.
It took several draws to get
the winners, but taking home
a handmade clock donated by
Charles and Betty Speir was
Jewel Rocha; and winner of the
$50 gift certificate, donated by the
Allen Food Center, was Dorothy
Knighten. The grand prize, a 42”
LED TV, went home with David
Morrison.
Also announced were winners
of the lighting contest. First place
and $100 in Allen Bucks went
to Brad and Vanessa Scroggins;
second place and $75 went to Pete
and Barbara Joiner; and Mike and
Kelly Todd won 3rd place and
$50.
The Allen Chamber and local
merchants thank all area residents
for their loyalty in shopping
at home. It is this support that
enables them to provide these
Christmas give-aways as well as
the annual Easter Egg Hunt, the
Veterans’ Dinner on Memorial
Day, and Customer Appreciation
Day in June.
Kierra Frederick was happy to sit on Santa’s knee and tell
him what she wants for Christmas this year.
Christmas is a great time for families to be together and this
year was special for Johnny Frederick as his wife, Wanda,
and grandkids, Pam and Daniel Crabtree, joined him for
the party at Woodland Hills.
Anyone as pretty as T.K. Mowdy has had to be good all year .
Santa loves kids of all ages and William Harden probably had
a lengthy wish list to share.
Pay attention, Santa, Hattie Giacomo has things to tell
you . . .
HELP! HELP! This weird man in a red suit has a hold of me! Lauren Baber wasn’t happy
this year but we’re sure by next year Santa will be high on her list of favorite people.
Three generation were at the Woodland Hills party and shared a visit with Santa. Pictured, left to
right, with Santa are Holly Woods, Dylanee McCarroll, Shaylee Hopkins and DeeAnn Jensen.

Christmas is not what it used
to be . . . all of us have heard that
and most of us have said it.
It might surprise you to know
that they were saying the same
thing over one hundred years
ago. This is from an 1899 edition
of The Ladies Home Journal.
There must some radical and
growing departure from the right
and best way of celebrating
is always something wrong when
we make a burden of our pleasures. And if one of our sources
of pleasure in the calendar’s
greatest gala day is derived from
a feeling of thankfulness that it
is over, there is something askew
either in the way we prepare for,
or spend, the day.
The work of celebrating Christmas falls, for the main part, on
women. Men think that they do
their share if they provide the
money for the Christmas purchases, and sparingly assist in the
selection of an occasional present.

Santa and his friend Wakeita Williams shared a visit at Woodland
Hills.
Christmas when each recurring
year we hear a larger number of
men saying, “Well, I’ll be truly
thankful when this Christmas
business is over.” And they are
led to this remark generally seeing their wives, mothers, sisters
or daughters reach Christmas Day
utterly tired out, with the prospect
of a siege of illness as soon as
Christmas is over. And it must
be confessed that this state of affairs exists in thousands of homes.
Women themselves frequently
acknowledge their satisfaction

And I suppose it is just as well that
the buying of Christmas presents
is not by custom delegated to
men. For of all spectacles, a man
deep in the problem of selecting a
Christmas gift, especially one for
a woman, is always the most interesting imaginable. One way of
simplifying Christmas might be to
let me buy all the presents. But I
fear that if this were the case, the
number of Christmas presents
and Christmas merchants would
soon be materially decreased. So
after all, these duties have been
pretty wisely placed in the hands
best adapted to handle them. Yet
the growing number of women
who each year tire themselves
out preparing for Christmas and
reach the day itself unfit to enjoy
it properly, seems to indicate that
sooner or later, if we go on, we
shall reach the other extreme and
abuse Christmas by overdoing its
celebration. And if we look into
the matter, we may find that we
are complicating Christmas a bit
and making it exactly the reverse
of what the day really stands for.
Christmas should be a time
to enjoy . . . not a day to be endured.
—CC—
Jonathan Ames writes . . .
There are many upsetting things
about the Christmas and New
Year’s season—increased creditcard debt, unresolved decadeslong family pain, the spiritual
vacuum at the core of our culture,
trying to get into the spirit of
things when you secretly wish
that you knew Dr. Kevorkian’s
home phone number—but exposure to bad breath is definitely
high on the list.
I recently went to eight Christmas parties in seven days and
I was assaulted with so much
bad breath that I feel I’ve gone
through four years’ worth of
dental school and I’m ready to
hang a shingle. I imagine that
must be one of the first things
dentists have to be trained for and
screened for—ability to withstand
halitosis. There’s probably some
kind of machine they put young
dentists in front of which blows
bad-breath fragrances into their
faces until they’re immune, kind
of like what they did to that fel-
low in Clockwork Orange, but
in reverse. And the dentists who
can’t take the machine are weeded
out and urged to find another field,
but certainly not proctology.
Proctologists for some reason
aren’t the butt of too many jokes
– because we feel bad for them?
– but we always make fun of dentists. Yet have we ever put ourselves in their green smocks and
crepe shoes? Just think of what
they go through on a daily basis!
Garlic breath! Onion breath!
Rotting-gum breath! Dull-person
breath!
I certainly couldn’t be a dentist
in America or Sweden. I was
so sickened by this one fellow’s
pâté-breath at one of the Christmas party, I had to leave early.
Later that night—around 3 a.m.
—I bolted upright in my bed at
the memory of it and couldn’t
fall back to sleep. I replayed the
thing, like a barroom fight. A
barroom fight that I had lost. The
fellow had insisted on crowding
me—we were in the kitchen of
our mutual friend’s home and he
had me up against the sink, which
was pressing on my sciatic nerve,
further paralyzing me.
I should mention that this pâtéfiend had suffered some kind of
injury to his larynx as a child
and this forces him to whisper all
the time, and at this party, which
was very loud with the shriekings of overweight children and
the gargling noises of alcoholics’
tipping beers down their throats,
he had to get right on top of me
to be heard. He was like a boxer
getting another boxer against the
ropes, but instead of jabs and
uppercuts he was scorching my
face with such a fierce aroma of
partially digested pâté and stillbeing-chewed pâté that I was
sorely tempted to behave in an
antisocial manner and say:
“Listen, you’re completely
unaware of this, lost in the cloud
cover of your own id, but you’re
giving me a second-degree burn
with this pâté-breath of yours
and I used to sort of like you, but
I now feel such repulsion and
dislike toward your person that
I will snub you for the rest of
eternity.”
But I didn’t say any such thing.
I just took a beating and applied
the St. Francis prayer: Better to
understand than to be understood, better to forgive than be
forgiven.
What made the moment a little
postmodern, despite my use of an
old prayer, was that not only was
the fellow in question vaporizing
me with pâté, he was speaking to
me about pâté.
“What is pâté?” he had asked,
as he shoved a loaded cracker like
a cannonball into his mouth.
“Liver,” I squeaked.
“Really? I don’t like liver, but
this stuff is great,” he said, firing
the cannonball.
“Yes, it’s very popular,” I aspirated.
“Is it chicken liver?”
“Most likely, though sometimes
it’s duck liver,” I gasped.
Then I thought of a pretty duck
floating around in some toxic
pond and how the liver filters
poison and that I was now breathing in pureed crushed poison that
some pretty duck had once absorbed before being slaughtered.
“Excuse me,” I then said to him,
the vision of this duck floating
through my mind, “but I have to
go…”
That, I have to say, was probably the zenith of the bad breath
I encountered during my holiday
party sojourn. After that it was
mostly just a lot of bad winebreath with an occasional kind
of universal sour-cheese smell
emanating from certain people.
Naturally, I was worried about
my own breath at all these parties and was trying to chew a lot
of mints and I was rigorously
avoiding hors d’oeuvres, which
often come loaded with breathsabotaging ingredients.
At another party a rather slobbish fellow spit food directly into
my mouth! For some reason my
own mouth was open – just for
a second, I guess; it was a freak
accident – and a particle of food
shot right out of him and onto
my tongue! It was so disgusting.
We both pretended it hadn’t happened, but I was deeply mortified
and hard to swallow the thing like
the bitterest of pills.
A few year ago, some kind of
white spittle shot out of a person’s
mouth and attached itself to my
cheek and slid down, and we both
pretended this had not happened,
but having food shot into my
mouth was even worse than that
white-spittle exchange. When
I got home I took three vitamin
Cs instead of the recommended
dosage of one, and I gargled excessively with Listerine.
At another party the ceilings
were very high and I didn’t encounter any bad breath. As this
miracle was unfolding, I wondered if the high ceilings had
something to do with it, or was
bad-breath random, like all other
components of the universe? I
mean what are the chances of
having fifteen meaningless conversations at a Christmas party
and not encountering one case
of halitosis? But then again, this
makes perfect beautiful sense—
after all, miracles are what this
season is all about.
—CC—
And last of all, my favorite
Christmas story of the week
shared by Neil Scott.
My wife and I took our sixyear-old nephew, Nicholas, to see
Santa. While waiting in line, we
remarked that both he and Santa
had the same first name. When
Nicky’s turn came, he enthusiastically climbed up onto Santa’s
knee.
“ What’s your name?” Santa
asked.
“The same as yours,” the youngster replied.
“Well, isn’t that nice,” said the
tired and harried Santa. “And
what would you like for Christmas, Leonard?”

Some PSO Bills Estimated
Due to last week’s winter storm
followed by days of continued
cold and icy conditions, PSO
meter readers were not able to read
the meters on their regular routes
during the worst of the weather.
As a result, approximately 1015 percent of PSO customers in
the coming days will receive an
estimated bill.
“Many streets and roads across
PSO’s service area have been
treacherous at times, and in some
cases, completely impassable
since the storm began,” said
Derek Lewellen, PSO manager of
gridSMART and Meter Revenue
Operations. “It’s a rarity that our
meter readers are not able to get
out to read their routes. But for
the safety of our customers and
our employees, we felt it best to
adhere to the warnings of public
safety officials across the state
and limit our driving as much as
possible.”
Lewellen said most meter
reading routes were suspended
for four or five days, beginning
Friday, December 6th. With few
exceptions, all routes are being
read again.
Customers whose meters
normally would have been read
while road conditions were at
their worst will begin receiving
their bills in the next few days.
The bill will indicate whether the
reading is an actual or estimated
reading.
Customers
whose
meter
readings are estimated this month
will be read next month.
Customers who receive an
estimated bill and have questions
about the estimate should call
PSO’s Customer Solutions
Center at 1-888-216-3523.

Threads of Life
by Cleo Emerson LeVally
I have the children’s sermon
at our church each Sunday
morning. I have been talking to
them about taking responsibility for their actions and learn to
spot things that need to be done
at their home and in the neighborhood where they live.
Last Sunday I gave them
an envelop with money in it.
I asked them to look around
their home and find things
they can do to help. It could
be keeping their rooms neat
and clean, helping with chores
around the house and also to
look around their neighborhood and do things they can
see that would help to keep the

Memories
area around where they live, to
be better. There is trash on the
streets and, perhaps they can
help a neighbor carry groceries, walk a neighbors dog, etc. I
asked them to keep a record on
the envelope of the things they
could find to do to help. Each
time they wanted to spend the
money in the envelope and did
a good deed, to make a note of
it on the envelope and not to
spend the money as they first
wanted to.
I want them to come back in
six months with a list of things
they did, written on that envelope. The thought behind this
was to help them to be responsible citizens of the area where
they live, and in years to come,
they will remember the good
deeds they did and the reward
they received for learning this
lesson will be the memories in
years to come. At that time I
plan to match the money they
still have in that envelope. That
will be their reward now, but
the reward of the memories
of that six months will live on
with them.
I have not done as much as
I could to help people through
the years, however, I do have
a lot of good memories. I remember that on one trip to California, we stopped at a service
station and found a family, the
car loaded down with all their
worldly possessions, and the
car had a flat tire. They were on
their way to California, hoping
to find work. They had run out
of money and could not pay to
have the tire fixed. We paid to
have their tire fixed and gave
them money to get something
to eat. Another memory happened recently. A woman who
lives in the north part of town
rang my doorbell about 8:30
pm. She had walked from her
home and said she needed to
get to Okie’s out on the high-
Graveside services for Clifford Eugene Cox, 76, of Allen
were 10:00 a.m. Saturday,
December 14th, at the Allen
Cemetery, Revs. Phillip Vinson
and Joyce Cook will officiate.
Mr. Cox died Thursday, December 12, 2013, at his home.
He was born September 8,
1937 in Allen, Oklahoma to
Ray and Zellah Warren Cox.
He moved back to the Ada
and Allen area from California
several years ago.
Mr. Cox was a cook at several restaurants in Ada including the Parkview Café and later
a cook in Allen.
Survivors include a brother,
Raymond Cox of Lone Oak,
Arkansas; a sister, Abigail
Miller of Ada; several nieces,
way and she was unable to
walk any further. It was very
cold and she became tired.
She asked if I would take her
to finish her errand. Of course,
I was happy to help.
Another good memory is
when my daughter Phylece,
was about seven years old, I
went out on the deck about
midnight and the sky was completely covered with a mass of
stars. I had never seen anything
like it and went in and got her
out of bed and took her outside
to see this starry display. She
reminded me of it years later
and thanked me for getting her
out of bed to see the sky like
that. I have never since seen
a display like the one we saw
that night. We both cherish the
memory.
I have many other memories
that I cherish. I only hope to
give the young people of my
church a way to make memories of their own, and one that
they will cherish in years to
come.
Rites held for Eugene Cox
nephews, cousins and other
relatives and friends.
He was preceded in death by
his parents; two brothers, Able
and James Cox; a half-sister,
Pauline Langston; and a halfbrother, Jewel Cox.
Directions were under the
direction of Criswell Funeral
Home, Ada.

We’ve already had enough
ice, snow, and cold weather for
an entire year, and winter isn’t
even officially here yet! Who
ever heard of so many snow
days between Thanksgiving
and Christmas? It may mean
the schools will be taking a
half-day off for the 4th of July,
but I’m sure the kids have enjoyed things so far.
The children’s classes opened
the services this week by singing “Away in a Manger” and
“Jingle Bells.’ Not to be outdone, James Hammonds, accompanied by Tom Spillman
and Wyatt Deaton, sang “Just a
Closer Walk with Thee” as the
special music selection. It just
proves that people of all ages
want to sing praises to Jesus
and have a closer walk with
Him.
By the way, “Jingle Bells”
comes under the category of
“making a joyful noise unto
the Lord.”
Rev. Karch’s message didn’t
have a title this Sunday, but an
English teacher might name it
“Jesus: Past Perfect, Present
Perfect, and Future Perfect.”
The sermon was based on
scriptures in Isaiah 9:6,7; Isaiah 53:1-10; and I Thessalonians 4:13-18.
O ld Testament scriptures
foretold Jesus’ birth, and we
can see that His birth and the
circumstances that surrounded
it completely fulfilled Isaiah’s
prophecies.
Isaiah also foretold Jesus’
death and the way it would
happen, and those prophecies
were perfectly fulfilled, too.
What kind of love led Jesus,
knowing us for what we are
and knowing the way he would
die, to leave heaven to come
live and die for us? It must
be beyond any kind of love
that we can ever completely
understand.
S ince we live in the 21 st
century, we can see that the
Old Testament prophecies
about Jesus were fulfilled.
But there’s more. Prophecy
in the New Testament says
that Jesus will return again
and will bring the Believers
who “sleep in Jesus” with Him.
Those Believers who are alive
on earth at that time shall be
caught up together with them
then to meet the Lord in the air
and will then live forever with
Him.
If you are a Believer, if you
believe that Jesus died for your
sins and you have accepted
Him as your savior, you will
be in one of those two groups.
Jesus will be victorious over
the world and you will live
forever with Him in heaven.
Yes, the day Jesus was born
on this earth was a huge deal
for us all. May your family’s
celebration of His birth be both
merry and blessed. Have a
Joyous Christmas!
Letter to the Editor
This letter was received this week by our One Pharmacist author, Wayne Bullard, from our old friend
Randall Wagner. Mr. Wagner currently resides in a nursing home in Duncan. He has a request from our
readers and we’re passing it on.
December 1, 2013
Dear Mr. Bullard,
I received some information that says Edward Mackey Johnson was born in 1929. I wondered about
James Edward Weldon who gave him a book Oct. 6, 1932 at Allen. His father was Richard L. (Dick)
Johnson and his mother was Josephine M. Johnson. Mr. Johnson was Supt at the Sunray Refinery in Allen and moved to Duncan.
I wondered if there were any people at Allen who remember Mr. and Mrs. Johnson and Mack (Mackey). I would like to hear from anyone who would like to write. How are you? Hope you have a good Christmas and New Year. I am still in a Duncan care center. I was in Ada Hospital three week and wish I could have contacted you. I didn’t have any visitors. Surely would have liked for someone to be there. I think Mack graduated at Allen. I am in a room with
a Baptist Missionary which is really good. Hope to hear from you.
Sincerely,
Randal Wagner

One Pharmacist’s View
Christmas, which has been
creeping up on us, has now
gathered steam and is practically here. Many will be
traveling to visit kin and others, like us, will be staying at
home and receiving them. I
think I prefer the latter. Last
week we drove to Tyler, Texas
to attend the graduation of our
granddaughter, Julia Runge.
Julia graduated from the University of Texas at Tyler with
honors and we wanted to be
there. There was a cold rain
falling all the way and parts
of North Texas was still in a
mess from the ice storms that
swept through. But we made
it fine and had a great time.
After Commencement we all
Christmas Rush
gathered at a restaurant called
Bernard’s’ for a celebration
meal. We drove back Saturday.
Most of us made it through
the sleet and ice without incident but I have to admit I did
take a spill in my driveway
and about “brained” myself. I
managed to get up and assured
the “not all that concerned”
crowd that I was OK and we
all went to Calvin and watched
our girl’s beat Asher in the
Pontotoc County Tournament.
My wife wants me to go get my
head examined but I assured
her I am OK. #%@&* Any

Light from God’s
Word
Mark Legg,
Allen church of Christ
“But it doesn’t matter; grace
will cover it!” A certain lady
learned that a religious activity
she practiced was not found in
God’s word, but had originated
with uninspired men. But
learning that she had believed
and practiced error did not
disturb her. She said, “But
it doesn’t matter; grace will
cover it!”
Since we are saved by the
grace of God, does that mean
it doesn’t matter whether or
not we obey God? Since we
are saved by the grace of God,
does that mean we can live as
we please, serve God when or
if we please and worship as we
please? Since we are saved
by the grace of God, does that
mean we can establish our own
churches, organize them as we
please, offer salvation as we
please and give them names as
we please?

He felt that it could. “Where is Duncan, Ok. 73533.
We have one more edithe bell now?” I asked. “Oh I
keep it in my china cabinet. It tion before Christmas but let
me wish each of you a very

State Bank after a few weeks
minded me of the words of the
Apostle Paul. Paul had just
explained that we are saved
by the “abundance of grace”
and “the gift of righteousness”
through Jesus Christ. (Rom
5:17) He then asks, “What
shall we say then? Shall we go
on sinning that grace may increase?” Paul answered, “By
no means! We died to sin; how
can we live in it any longer?”
(Romans 6:1-3)
Once we know the truth that
God expects us to practice, but
we continue in disobedience to
God, how can we expect God’s
grace to extend to us? How can
God not be offended if we willfully continue sinning when
we know the truth? Wouldn’t
that be deliberate and willful
disobedience to God? The
inspired Hebrew writer wrote,
“For if we sin willfully after we
have received the knowledge
of the truth, there no longer
remains a sacrifice for sin.”
(Hebrews 10:26) There is
only one sacrifice for our sins
– Jesus Christ – but if we reject
His sacrifice by knowingly disobeying Him, we have no other
means of being saved. If we
really have faith in Jesus and
trust Him to save us, will we
not do whatever He desires?

I ran into two readers in
Tyler the other night who said
they read my column regularly
and said they enjoyed keeping
up with happenings up here.
Thanks, Sandy and Lisa. I always appreciate hearing from
my readers no matter where
they are. Also, I got a nice
letter from Randall Wagner
which I gave to the paper. It
may be published here someplace. Randall’s history with
Allen goes way back and, in
fact, my own history with him
is getting to be lengthy.
About 15 years ago Randall
wrote me and said he had the
Bell from Sunray DX Refinery
here in Allen. He wondered
if he could just donate it to
the town as he had no use for
it. I talked to some of the city
fathers and it was during the
time we were building the new
war memorial and we quickly
discovered a place for it. In
fact, we designed a place of
honor for it. We would get a
special truck and tote the bell

Atwood Church of the Nazarene
Sunday was an exciting day
for the children. During the
worship hour they put on the
Christmas play, “A Charlie
Brown Christmas.” This play
told about the true meaning of
Christmas and why so many
people are sad this time of the
year. Jessie Beck directed the
...and Christmas Bazaar Pictures
play and did an outstanding
job. The characters were:
Charlie, Dylan Sanford; Linus, Hannah Brill; Violet, Makenize Smart, Lucy, Makenna Barker; Sally, Shelby
Grissom; Schroeder, Montana Smart; Snoopy, Health
Frederick, and Frieda, Audra
Taylor. The younger children;
Sophie Cassell, Kailey Trump,
Jennifer Brill, Braydon Smart,
Olivia Taylor and Kylie Taylor
held the signs and sang and
danced with the cast. Kaylee
Brill helped with the stage
props. Hannah and Shelby
sang” Silent Night. “ Following the program the children
all received gifts from their
adopted parents.
Sunday night we had the
Community Christmas at the
Fire Department. We had a
good crowd and everyone enjoyed the music, food, games,
and visiting with Santa. We
enjoy getting together with our
friends and neighbors. Invite someone to church this
next Sunday. Find a family
in need and help them enjoy
their Christmas. We have been
blessed this year and want to be
a blessing to others. Barbara Jarrett had a booth of gift items at the Atwood
Nazarene Church Bazaar.
The DeShields family was well represented at the Atwood Christmas Bazaar. Pictured
are Truby DeShields, Brenda Beck, Ruth DeShields, Jennea Hass and Jesse Beck.
The pastor of the Atwood Baptist Church and his wife, Rev.
Chuck and Teresa Karch, enjoyed the Nazarene Bazaar.

Allen Third Graders are Generous
The 3rd graders at Allen Elementary were asked to tell
us, “if you could buy one gift,
what would it be and whom
would it be for?” The students
in Mrs. Peay and Mrs. Butler’s
classes did a good job answering that question . . .
If I could give only one gift,
I would give it to Martha. I
would get her jewelry because
she loves jewelry. When she
lived in my old house she

Brooklyn Sanders
If I could give anyone any gift, I would choose my babu
because I love him. He is the best brother ever in the world.
Sometimes he is mean but I still love him. You know you better watch out. I’m telling you why, he is so snoopy. If I could
give him something, it would be my four wheeler because he
is so feisty and plus he is a daredevil, by the way. Or I would
give him an Ipad Touch because he loves things like that. So
now that’s over, I will tell you the best gift ever is Love and that
is how that was , oh and seeing his sister that would be a great
present. Cool!

My name is Barbara McPherson; I am running for the
Allen School Board position vacated by Lynn Anderson.
I am a retired teacher and have lived in Allen for eleven
(11) years. My goals are that the students receive the
best education possible, nutritional food, and bullying
stopped in our schools.
I have spent 39 years in education (9½ years in public
school, 20 years at the School for the Blind in Muskogee,
and worked at CCA Davis Correctional facility in
Holdenville for 9 years in the education department).
1. With the state grading of schools, the elementary received a “C” and high school
got an “A”. We have good teachers and they need our support so they can give the
students the best education possible. This starts at the administrative level. We need
teacher and parent participation at all levels of education.
2. With obesity at an epidemic level in this country we need to give our young people
an opportunity to learn about better food choices. This would give them an opportunity
to have a healthier life.
3. Students going to Allen schools have been bullied starting at the elementary level.
This type of activity needs to be eliminated by parent, school, and community. It is
called respect for others.
I have come to know and have made friends in the community through church, city
activities and attending Allen School functions.
There is always room for improvements and through public service on the Allen
School Board of Education I could maybe make a difference.

Mustangs brace for stiff competition this week
Allen to meet Roff and Weleetka in action prior to Christmas break
By Herman Brown
Allen correspondent
For the Allen Mustangs, there
will be no easy stretch heading
into the Christmas and New
Year’s Day break.
Coach Greg Mills smiles
when he reviews this week’s
two-game schedule.
“We get Roff on Tuesday
and Weleetka on Thursday,”
he said. “Yeah, this ought to be
fun! Those are two very good
teams we’ll be playing before
we get to Christmas!”
Last week, Allen played
three games in a 4-day span.
The Mustangs lost to Roff on
Wednesday in the semi-final
round of the Pontotoc Conference Tournament at Calvin
High School.
On Friday, Allen was back in
action with a home date against
the New Lima Falcons.
The PC tournament resumed
on Saturday. For Allen, that
meant a third-place showdown
with the Tupelo Tigers.
Allen lost both tournament
games, but did salvage a win
in the regular-season contest
on Friday evening.
Coach Mills believes the
crazy schedule has hindered
his team’s progress. The Mustangs have suffered due to a
lack of practice time. Basketball was delayed due to
football playoffs. Even worse,
the Mustangs lost about 10
days due to the recent winter
storm.
“It’s been tough,” he said.
“But, overall, I feel the kids
are playing really hard. They
are making a few mistakes and
not shooting the ball well. We
were just dead-legged in the
tournament and that’s always
going to affect your shooting.
It will improve when we get
more time in the gym and improve our conditioning.”
On Wednesday, Roff dropped
the Mustangs 49-38 in the Pon-
totoc Conference Tournament
semi-finals. The Tigers built
up a 29-19 halftime lead and
pressed on to outscore Allen
20-19 in a competitive second
half. The result was an 11-point
win for Roff, 49-38.
Two Mustangs landed in
double figures in scoring in
the loss. Tommy Peay scored
13 points and Zayne Erickson
added 12. Other offense included Ty Brown with 4 points
and Joseph Hopper, Dakota
Nickell and Drew Back all
with 3.
On Friday, Allen went back
into the regular-season schedule to host the New Lima
Falcons in varsity basketball
action.
Coach Mills watched his
Mustangs enter the second half
down 22-21. From there, Allen
outscored the visitors 30-21 to
rally for the 51-43 triumph.
Allen landed four players
in double figures in scoring.
Joseph Hopper led the way
with 15 points. Zayne Erickson
was second on the team with
12 points. Tommy Peay and Ty
Brown followed with 10 points
each. Dakota Nickell chipped
in 3 points while Colby Eaker
provided the final point.
On Saturday, Allen went
back to Calvin High School
to compete in the conference
tournament. The Mustangs met
the Tupelo Tigers in the thirdplace game.
The Mustangs fell behind
17-8 in the first quarter. The
9-point deficit proved to be too
much to overcome for Allen.
AHS outscored the Tigers 3029 over the final three quarters.
However, that was not enough
to erase the big deficit from the
initial period. Allen ended up
on the short end of the 46-38
final score.
Joseph Hopper finished the
game with a team-best 13
points. Zayne Erickson was
next on the list with 8 points.
Tommy Peay provided 6 points
while Dakota Nickell scored
5 and Drew Back scored 4.
Colby Eaker rounded out the
scoring with 2 points.
Allen walked off the court
with a fourth-place finish.
Looking ahead, Coach Mills
will use the coming weeks to
build up the conditioning to

Allen correspondent to make enough plays to get out we finished second. But, at the
The Allen Lady Mustangs recently captured the runner-up
title in the 2013 Pontotoc Conference Tournament at Calvin High
School.
Coach Jeremy Strong’s squad
took down Stonewall 45-41 in
the opening round game. Sophomore standout Charlea Leonard powered the victory with a
performance of 21 points and 8
rebounds.
By knocking off Stonewall, Allen advanced to the tournament
semi-finals last Wednesday in the
weather-delayed event.
Awaiting the Lady Mustangs in
the semi-final showdown were the
Asher Lady Indians.
“They were the top-seeded
team in the tournament,” said
Coach Strong. “They were also
ranked No. 6 in the state in Class
B basketball.”
Allen stood up to the challenge
and delivered an impressive 4846 victory over the dangerous
Asher girls. The path to the win
included a great comeback rally
by the Lady Mustangs.
Asher trailed 15-14 in the first
quarter before storming to a 3024 lead going into the halftime
break.
After intermission, Allen rallied
to close the gap to within a point
at 37-36.
With the game on the line, the
Lady Mustangs stepped up and
outscored Asher 12-8 over the
final eight minutes.
“It was tied at 46-46,” recalls
Coach Strong. “We called time
to set up a play. That play didn’t
work perfectly but we still got a
decent shot.”
The Allen shot missed the
mark. However, Leonard was on
the back side and perfectly positioned for an offensive rebound.
The 5-11 sophomores took the
rebound and scored the go-ahead
basket with about 7 seconds left
in the fourth quarter.
Asher went down and, with a
couple of seconds to go, fired off
a 3-point shot. Luckily for Allen,
the potential game-winning trey
came up short.
“We batted the ball around a
little and ended up with it before time expired,” said Coach
Strong.
Allen escaped in the semi-finals
with the thrilling 48-46 victory.
Charlea Leonard ended up with
a game-high 19 points. She was
the only Lady Mustang to score
in double figures.
Alison Sells led the other Allen
scorers with 8 points. Others who
contributed to the win included
Miranda Raney with 7 points,
Sondra Howshar with 6, and Kennedy Prentice and Faith Caldwell
with 4 points each.
“It was a good ballgame,” the
coach said. “It went back and
forth. It was not a perfect game
with the win.”
By winning, Allen advanced on
to Saturday’s tournament championship game. However, the Lady
Mustangs had a non-tournament
game to play on Friday evening.
The New Lima Falconettes came
to Allen High School for a regular-season contest.
Coach Strong’s squad posted a
56-42 win over New Lima. The
Lady Mustangs used a strong
showing in the second and third
quarters to secure the victory.
New Lima led 12-9 at the end
of one quarter. Allen countered
to outscore the Falconettes 16-6
in the second quarter and 13-6 in
the third period. The turn-around
lifted the Lady Mustangs to a 3824 advantage going into the fourth
quarter. Allen then matched New
Lima’s 18 points to seal off the
56-42 win.
Charlea Leonard was once
again the driving force in the
game. Leonard scored 16 points
and pulled down 10 rebounds.
Hannah Heck also landed in
double digits with 12 points.
Kennedy Prentice and Miranda
Raney were next on the scoring
list with 8 points. Sondra Howshar added 6 points. Alison Sells
and Faith Caldwell rounded out
the score with 3 points.
“I am really proud of the girls,”
Coach Strong said. “They played
a really good game. We got down
9-0 in the first quarter but I did
not see any panic. The girls kept
chugging along and we ended up
with a double-digit win. We did a
good job of rebounding and also
played pretty good defense.”
On Saturday, Allen jumped back
into tournament action at Calvin
High School. The Lady Mustangs
took on the Roff Lady Tigers in
the championship finals.
Roff led 14-13 after one quarter
and 28-20 at halftime. After the
break, the Lady Indians outscored
Allen 10-9 in the third period and
10-4 in the fourth. The combined
result was a 48-33 win for Roff.
Miranda Raney led the Lady
Mustangs in scoring with 10
points. She was the lone Allen
player to score in double figures.
The rest of Allen’s scoring included Alison Sells and Charlea
Leonard with 5 points each, Sondra Howshar with 4 and Hannah
Heck with 3. Three others scored
3 points each, including Kennedy
Prentice, Alycia Evans and Faith
Caldwell.
“We were running on pure
emotion in the first quarter,”
said Coach Strong. “We played
a pretty good game at that time.
But it was our third game in four
days – Wednesday, Friday and
Saturday – and you could see us
running out of energy. We were
losing our legs and it got away
from us. We set our goals high
and we really wanted to win this
same time, I am very proud of
the girls. They did a pretty good
job. You just have to give Roff a
lot of credit. They played a pretty
good game and they did what they
needed to do to win the tournament.”
Looking ahead, Allen was facing a pair of strong challenges
this week. The Lady Mustangs
were to play Roff again on Tuesday … and then close out the
pre-holiday schedule against the
much-improved Weleetka Lady
Outlaws.
“We’ll have good competition
to go into the break,” said Coach
Strong. “But we play a strong
schedule for a reason. We are
trying to get us prepared for the
playoffs. A great record against
weak competition will do nothing
to get you ready for the games that
really count. We’ll play the strong
teams and it will get us better as
we go along.”
