new library, new classrooms,
a renovated auditorium, an
expanded cafeteria, a new roof
and various other updates are being done at Channing ISD, a PreKindergarten through twelfth
grade school, set to be completed
this school year. Thanks to a 2.5
million dollar bond passed in May
of this year, these much-needed
projects that were once lofty goals
are now nearing completion. In essence, Channing ISD is experiencing growing pains, and the community couldn’t be more excited.

school had some needs, but the
community also had some needs.
So we really spent some time looking at how we could come up with
a combination solution to those
needs. We were very interested in
what would help the community,
not just the school.”
In addition to the bond, the school
board has applied for but not yet
received grant money for help with
books and supplies for the new library. The residents of Channing
are stepping in to help fill the gap
so far.
“We have received between 1,200
and 1,500 book donations from the
community,” McLain said. “And

ON THE EDGE OF COMMON SENSE
Veternary Medicine ain’t what it used to be
ver the years the
O
number of large animal veterinarians has
steadily declined. It is
most evident in rural
America and Canada.
Many factors have contributed to this decline;
the greatest is the change
in the profession itself.
The cost of schooling
is daunting. The severe
decline of male students
til they are only 20% of
the enrollment. The low
number of “farm kids”
that are interested in vet
school, and the changing
attitude of the graduates
themselves.
Back in the “good ol’
days” a rural veterinarian was on call 24/7. His
life was controlled by
the phone. It was was
hectic; days off, vacations, meetings, birthday parties and church
was always planned with
the knowledge that dad
might not be there. These
vets were, what some
would call dedicated, but
most would recognize as
workaholics.
The new generation
wants to “have a life!”
Family time, days off, no
night calls and a decent
wage are part of their
plan.
All of these factors have
combined to fuel the decline in the number of
rural veterinarians. But
there is another large factor that has always been
discouraging to rural
vets, that is the reluctance
of farmers and ranchers
to willingly pay the vet a
“reasonable fee.”
Livestock have a calculable value, expressed
as per head or dollars per
pound. With the exception of the occasional
ranch horse, there is no
anthropomorphological
attachment as exists in
the pet world. This has
always lead the cowman to try and treat the
animal himself. If the
critter dies, it only evens
out what the vet would
charge…no loss. But in
the last three years things
have changed!
Droughts, herd depletion, and demand for beef
of all kinds have caused
the value of cattle to
soar! Business for rural
veterinarians has picked
up and continues to grow.
Maybe there’s hope. But
the good cowman is being backed into a corner.
He considers himself capable of pulling a calf,
or treating the scours,
deciding what vaccine
to use, at least he always
has…he even did a Caesarian once…’course the
cow was dead.
He’s a hard workin’,
stubborn, do-it-yerself,
thrifty cowman and it
bothers him to ask for
help, especially if it costs
money! It goes against
his cowboy mentality.
What are the odds?
“Harold, she’s been
tryin’ to calve since noon.
He’s worth 500 bucks
when he hits the ground.
It’s time. Unhook those
chains and put down the
come-along.”
“But…”
“Call Doc Smith.”
“But…but…what if he
charges mileage?”

en Griffin repeated as the Dalhart
Country Club’s, Club
Champion, shooting a
two- day total of even
par for 36 holes played
Saturday and Sunday at
the club.
You couldn’t have asked
for a better day Saturday
for the first round of the
Men’s Club Championship at Dalhart Country
Club. No wind and warm
temperatures made for
perfect playing conditions on the challenging
18-hole layout to determine the best of the best
in Dalhart.
Taking the early lead
after the first day of play
was local standouts Jeff
Lloyd and Chris Anderson shooting 71 and taking the overnight lead
into Sunday over defending champion Ben Griffin who shot one over
par, 73, Royce Howell
who also shot a 73 and
Cory Beckner who was
one shot back with an
even par 72.
Steve Brorman and
Rick Moore each finished the first round with
77s, rounding out the
championship flight.
In the first flight, Josh
Vogel had the overnight
lead shooting an 82 and
John Tripp was one
stroke back shooting
83 after the first day of
play. Seven other golfers
were bunched up chasing Tripp and Vogel in
the second round.
Sunday was a little
cooler and windy for
the second round, but at
the half way mark some
golfers were hoping to
hold on and others were
looking to move up in
their flights.
Griffin shot a one-underpar to take the championship, with Howell and
Beckner tied at second
place at four over par for
the two days. Beckner
ended up second place
after making a birdie on
the second playoff hole.
In the first flight, Kenneth Pack came from
three strokes out to win
shooting 76 on the second day of play. John
Tripp shot an 84 to go
with his first day 83 to
take second place in the
first flight. Joe Warren
came back on Sunday
with an 82 to go with his
first day score of 86 to
finish third place.

Faith & Religion
A Life of Fruitfulness
ut the fruit of the Spirit is
B
love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithful-
ness, gentleness, self-control;
against such things there is
no law (Galatians 5:22-23
ESV).
These verses from Paul are
some of the best known and
most frequently quoted in the
New Testament, but they are
also some of the most misunderstood. I misunderstood
them for years. Like many
Christians, I read this passage
as a list of nine character traits
that I needed to work on. I
would evaluate my life and
make a personal assessment
of how I thought I was doing with each of them. It was
like a checklist. If I felt like
I was doing well on an item,
I would check it off. “Okay,
I don’t need to worry about
that one, but I sure do need
to work on that self-control
thing...oh...and that patience
thing too.”
That is entirely the wrong
way to approach these verses.
Let me show you what I had
failed to notice. First, notice
that Paul says “fruit,” not
“fruits.” These are not nine individual qualities. They all go
together. The fruit is a package deal. If you get one, you
get them all, and you don’t
get to pick and choose. It is
not an a’la carte menu.
And you don’t actually get
them either. You receive them
- all of them. These are not
things that you need to work
on. You cannot earn them
through your own efforts,
anymore than you can earn
your salvation. Like your salvation, they are gifts of God’s
grace. These are the fruit of
the Spirit. This fruit is a gift
we receive from the Holy
Spirit, as we walk by the Spirit
(see Galatians 5:16). The fruit
is the result, it is what is produced by the Holy Spirit in
the lives of those who walk,
or live by the Spirit.
You might say, “Okay,
so I don’t get each one individually; I receive them all at
the same time from the Holy
Spirit. I get that, but how
do I receive this fruit? How
do I walk by the Spirit?” To
walk or live by the Spirit is to
walk and live by faith - faith
in Christ. It is all about having a trusting relationship
with Jesus. This is what Jesus
taught in John 15 when he
talked about the vine and the
branches:
Abide in me, and I in you. As
the branch cannot bear fruit
by itself, unless it abides in
the vine, neither can you, un-
less you abide in me. I am the
vine; you are the branches.
Whoever abides in me and I in
him, he it is that bears much
fruit, for apart from me you
can do nothing (John 15:4-5
ESV).
Just as a branch will not
produce grapes unless it is attached to the vine, we will not
bear fruit unless we abide in
Christ. “Apart from me you
can do nothing.” Abide is a
rich word. It means to remain,
stay, live, exist. It is related to
the word abode. To abide in
something is to live there, to
make your home there. Jesus
is saying that if we make our
home in Him, he will make
His home in us, and we will
bear much fruit. He is talking
about a loving relationship
with Him that produces the
fruit of the Spirit in our lives.
These words of Jesus were
part of a long teaching that Jesus gave His disciples on His
final night with them. Earlier,
in John 14, He had told them
that he would soon be going
away, but He promised that
he would send the Spirit to be
with them and be in them (see
John 14:16-17). He precedes
this promise by saying, “If
you love me, you will keep
my commandments (John
14:15 ESV).” And he follows
his promise with these words:
“If anyone loves me, he will
keep my word, and my Father
will love him, and we will
come to him and make our
home with him (John 14:23
ESV).”
Do you see the connection?
To abide in Christ, and He
in us, is to love Him. And
we love him by keeping his
word. Returning to John 15,
Jesus says in v. 10, “If you
keep my commandments, you
will abide in my love, just as
I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his
love.” And then Jesus gives
the reason for telling His
disciples all of this: “These
things I have spoken to you,
that my joy may be in you,
and that your joy may be full
(v. 11).”
Love. Joy. Aren’t those a part
of the fruit of the Spirit that
Paul describes in Galatians
5? If you want love, and joy,
and peace (and who doesn’t?),
and all of the things that make
up that fruit, then trust Jesus
Christ. Abide in Him. Make
your home in Him. Love Him
by doing what He says, and He
will make His home in you,
and make your joy complete.

“40 Days for Life has consistently generated proven
life-saving results,” Shawn
Carney, 40 Days for Life’s
national campaign director
said. “During 13 nationally coordinated campaigns,
539 communities are taking part, including Dalhart.
The efforts of 650,000
people of faith have helped
make a tremendous difference.”
Carney said numerous
cities reported a significant
drop in abortions.
“Some 50 abortion facilities have closed following
40 Days for Life efforts,”
he said. “Churches across
denominational lines have
worked together to work
for an end to abortion in
their cities. Many postabortive women began
programs to heal from the
pain caused by previous
abortion experiences. And
more than 8,900 babies -and their mothers -- have
been spared from the tragedy of abortion.”
“We’ve seen what 40

Marriage, Divorce and Remarriage
Many today marry, divorce, and remarry without giving any thought to God’s
law concerning such. This writing makes us aware of God’s law concerning
marriage, divorce, and remarriage.
1)
God’s Law Concerning Marriage. God’s law, from the beginning,
involves one man for one woman for life. (Gen. 2:18-24). Paul put it this way,
“Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let
every woman have her own husband” (1 Cor. 7:2). Pretty simple, isn’t it?
2)
God’s Law Concerning Divorce. Today, men and women divorce for
just about any reason, and our state even allows “non-fault” divorce. Did you
know there is only one Scriptural reason for divorce? “Whosoever shall put
away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another,
committeth adultery…” (Mt. 19:9). The Lord allows the party free of fornication to put away his fornicating mate. If you divorce your mate for any
reason other than fornication, then you have an unscripted divorce.
3)
God’s Law Concerning Remarriage. The Scriptures show only two
classes of people who have a right to take another mate: (1) Those whose
mate is dead (Rom. 7:1-4). (2) Those who put away their mate for fornication
(Mt. 19:9). For anyone else to remarry is to live in adultery, and “whoremongers and adulterers God will judge” (Heb. 13:4).
Since marriage is of God (Gen. 2:18-24), let’s learn to respect His law concerning this divine institution.

Snakes
“By the time we get into
having some consistent
cooler temperatures in the
fall after the first freeze,
you won’t have to worry
about them,” Bragg said.
“But, if we have some
warmer days like during
Indian Summer, you may
see them coming back out
and hanging out around
their dens in the warmer
parts of the day.”
Bragg said, in the fall the
rattlesnakes become slower and that is when they become harder to discover.
“They have such good
camouflage and they are
starting to get more lethargic,” Bragg said. “One of
the biggest ways we know
they are near is they rattle,
but this time of year when
they are more lethargic,
they may not rattle, making them more dangerous
to humans.”
Rattlesnake facts and
warnings:
• Most bites occur between April and October,
the months during which
rattlesnakes are at their
most active.
• Don’t let your dog run
through grass that is knee
high or higher in wilderness areas. Snakes bite dogs
too, and dogs die more often than people when they
are bitten because they are
smaller.
• It is often reported that
more people die from wasp
and bee stings in the United
States than from the bites
of rattlesnakes.
• If trying to remove a rattlesnake from your backyard, call in professionals.
Remain calm if faced with
the snake when you are
in your backyard — level
headedness is essential to
dealing with any dangerous situation.
• Snakes frighten most
people. However, it does
help to understand the ecological niche that snakes
fill. Importantly, snakes
keep down rodent populations that might otherwise
be in plague proportions
in many places, destroying
crops, food storage, and
spreading disease. Removing snakes from their original territory is frequently
followed by a rise in rodent
numbers. Moreover, rattlesnakes are a source of food
for predators.
• It is a myth that young
rattlesnakes are more poisonous than adults. The
venom glands are much
larger on the adults, so
even if the young rattlesnake empties its venom,
its not nearly the amount
of venom delivered by an
adult.
Warnings
• Never pick up a freshly killed rattlesnake. It
can bite reflexively even
though it is dead.
• Never put a tourniquet
on a limb bitten by a snake.
It may cause necrosis and
the loss of the limb. Stay
calm and seek medical attention.
• Never pick up what
seems to be a dead rattlesnake. It may be resting
deeply or simply not moving in a way that is detectable to your eye. Just leave
well enough alone.
• Pavement stays warm
after sundown. Rattlesnakes may find their way
onto a warm road or sidewalk on a cool evening to
keep warm. Use caution
after sundown when walking on paved roads or sidewalks.
• Do not cut, suck or
drain snakebites — these
are old-fashioned methods
that have been proven to
not work.
Library
some on the weekends and
even some during the summer break,” McLain said.
The separate building that
houses the new library was
built in the 1950s and has
been used as a bus barn,
classroom and vocational
education classroom.
“The old library was
centrally located inside
the school. So, to make
it available to the public
meant the entire school
had to be opened,” McLain
explained. “By moving it
out to this new building,
it’s more accessible to the
public.”
The new library will be
technologically advanced,
allowing students to use
laptops in the facility and
use and check out e-readers, such as Kindles and
iPads. Since the library is
part of the Harrington Library Consortium in Amarillo, there are also more
opportunities for online
borrowing.
In accordance to modern
safety standards, the front
foyer area of the school is
also being redone.
“We really tried to keep
the integrity and the history
of the building, while also
making the school as safe
as possible for our staff
and students,” McLain
said. “Now, visitors will
have to stop into the office
before being allowed into
the building.”
The renovated auditorium
and expanded cafeteria
will have ample space,
able to host larger crowds
for such things as funerals,
fundraiser meals, meetings
for the local volunteer firefighters, FFA and 4-H. At
completion in May 2015,
the auditorium will almost
double in capacity from
200 seats to an estimated
350 seats.
“I’m proud of how we’re
taking the bond money and
stretching it and making
use of existing facilities.
That is what is allowing us
to get more bang for our
buck,” McLain said. “It’s
been an adventure; a learning process. But we are
seeing growth and we’re
doing a lot of neat things.”
A grand opening for the library is planned for early
November. Channing ISD
invites the public to come
see the new facility and
share in their excitement
of a growing community.
cine available, it’s a yearly
vaccine.”
Bragg explained that dogs
and other pets tend to find
the snakes before humans.
“Ranchers usually get
their dogs vaccinated because they are working
dogs always out where the
snakes are,” Bragg said.
“But the vaccine would
is good for pet owners as
well and could save your
dog’s life.”
Bragg said that people
who are walking on the
hiking trails around the
lake should take caution or
bring a dog with them because of the fact they usually spot snakes quicker
than someone taking a leisurely hike.
“I don’t want to discourage people to from using
the trails but this time of
year they should be on the
lookout for rattlesnakes,.
Keep your dogs on a leash
when hiking so they do not
try and attack the snake.”
Humans are the rattlesnake’s biggest predator,
but they are also hunted by
roadrunners, hawks wild
pigs and other snakes like
the King Snake.
Bragg also said, when
temperatures get hot,
snakes hang out in shaded
areas, so this time of year
when it reached the mid
80s they are out, but probably resting in shade.
“There is no telling how
many rattlesnakes I’ve
found by gates, gate poles
provide just enough shade
so ranchers need to be
careful,” Bragg added.
The fall migration of the
snakes depends on the
weather. By mid October,
the snakes should be in
their dens.
ly on the community for
donations and gifts. The
county (Hartley) is also
looking into helping out financially to purchase some
books.”
The current school librarian, Kathy Gordon will
operate the library during
the school day, allowing
students, as well as Channing residents, to have use
of the facility.
“I’m anxious to get the
library open to the public,” Gordon said. “This is
something we’ve needed
for a long time and I think
the people will really enjoy
the work that’s been done
here.”
With some planning and
scheduling, the school is
hoping to have volunteers
willing to work a few
nights during the week.
“One of our senior students, Callie Shipley, is
doing a community service
project of creating a volunteer program to keep the library open in the evenings.
Depending on the need, we
would possibly stay open
Channing ISD Librarian Kathy Gordon helps Mary Gordon and Cassidy Davis with

library up to the public recently.

f there was ever a team
that Dalhart beat convincingly every time and
yet were pushed to their
limits, that team would be
Highland Park.
Dalhart is 4-0 against the
Lady Hornets this year and
were 2-0 against them in
2013, but there were very
few moments where Highland Park was ever truly
out of a game.
Tuesday night was no
exception and a perfect example of high competition
during a convincing win.
The
Lady
Wolves
dropped Highland Park in
straight sets, but if the final
points of the second game
go a little bit differently,
this could have been a fivegame match for sure.
Dalhart won 3-0 (25-13,
26-24 and 25-22) over the
Lady Hornets on Tuesday
night. Madison Sherrill led
the way with nine kills and
Macie Shelton had 10 assists.
With the exception of
the match against Highland
Park in the Canyon tournament, Dalhart and the Lady
Hornets have had highly
contested matches. One of
the biggest reasons for that
has been Highland Park’s
propensity for fast starts.
They started fast in their
match-up in the semifinal
of the Borger tournament
and forced Dalhart to go to
Avery Ballard simply trying to get it over the net.
the limit in the first game
though the Lady Wolves
ultimately won that game
30-28.
They also started fast in
Dalhart’s season opener
getting out to a 7-0 lead in
game one before Dalhart
ultimately came out and
won that game in another
close set to start off the
year.
On Tuesday night Dalhart did not give Highland
Park the chance to jump out
to that lead. Macie Shelton
came out and hit a couple
of key serves that helped
the Lady Wolves out to an
8-2 lead in that first game.
Keeping Highland Park
away from a quick start
helped the Lady Wolves to
their most convincing win
of a game on the night.
“The emphasis was let’s
start aggressive and stay
aggressive and try to take
it to teams and not sit back
and wait,” head coach Kira

alhart’s junior varsity did not get off to the start
they wanted to this season. The Lady Wolves
opened up 2014 with a loss to Highland Park in a game
they should have won running away.
How do we know they should have won running
away? Because they won running away over the Lady
Hornets on Tuesday night.
Dalhart’s JV won in straight sets 2-0 (25-13, 25-5)
over the Lady Hornets and probably had their shortest
game of the year in the second set on the night.
The Lady Wolves got off to a fast start, which gave
them a lot of confidence going forward. Leslie Batenhorst had four kills in the first game while Caroline
Herring had two and the Lady Wolves were off to a
roaring start.
It helped too that Dalhart dominated on the serve

Responsibility:
Pass it On
Lady Wolves ability to adjust has
them with more wins than 2013
By THOMAS LOTT

Sabrah Howell had four aces on Tuesday night.
oming into the 2014
it was well known the
Lady Wolves were going
to have to shift around to
make up for the graduation of four key players
on the Dalhart roster.
Dalhart had to find a
new setter, a second hitter, an extra middle and
another front line player.
The Lady Wolves have
found a way to fill these
spots throughout the season even while they have
had to fill even more spots
than originally expected.
With injuries during the
year to Avery Ballard and
Courtney White, the Lady
Wolves have had to make
adjustments on the block,
with the serve and in their
entire scheme.
The injury to Ballard
forced the Lady Wolves
to play a 5-1 for a while,
which was not the original plan, and an injury
to White on Saturday put
Sabrah Howell in starting
at Libero.
With all of the injuries
and the new responsibility, it would not be surprising to see the Lady
Wolves struggling to win
games, however, Dalhart
has done anything but
struggle this season.
They won their 19th
game on Tuesday night already surpassing their win
total from 2013. Their win
over Highland Park was
their fourth of the season
over the 2013 Class 2A
regional finalist.
The argument could
be made that the Lady
Wolves are even better
than they were last year at
this point and much of the
reason for that stems from
different players stepping
up in different ways.
On Tuesday night that
person was Howell. The
junior defender had four
aces in the match against
the Lady Hornets and was
the server on the final
five points that helped the
Lady Wolves come away
with the win in game one.
And lately Howell has
had to step up in ways
she may not have been
expecting until next year.
She had to step in at Libero on Saturday against a
team in Randall that was
one of the best attacking
teams Dalhart had faced
all year long.
It would have been a
tall order for White to
defend against the Lady

Hartley girls Angelica Gonzalez and Kelly Wieck.
The two runners were neck and neck last week at
Thompson Park with Wieck finishing in 8th place and
Gonzalez in 11th.
Wieck was the top finisher for the Hartley girls in each
of the first two meets of the year finishing in the top 10
in each run.
Gonzalez did not run very well in Borger, but at
Thompson Park she closed the gap dramatically between
her and the new stud freshmen.
On Saturday Gonzalez reminded everyone why she
was a regional qualifier and a qualifier for the two-mile
at the state track meet.
Gonzalez finished in 11th place on Saturday afternoon
again, but this time she was able to get out in front of
Wieck and grab the top spot for the Hartley girls for the
first time this season.
Wieck ran very well herself finishing in 13th place just
10 seconds behind Gonzalez, but to get that first top finish is good for Gonzalez and for the competition between
the two girls.
“She really showed a lot of strength I think this past
week,” Hartley girls cross country coach Dedra Hill said.
“She’s continued to work hard in practice and it’s paying off, now it’s making up for what she didn’t do in the
summer.”
Those were the only runners for the Lady Tigers that
ran with the varsity group. They had a full team at the
junior varsity level though and they are running a full
team in Lubbock this weekend.
“Lubbock tends to be a good course for us,” Hill said.
“Some of the kids have their personal bests during that
time.”
On the boys’ side for the Tigers, Derek Wieck was
not at 100 percent and ultimately did not finish the race.
The top finisher for the Tigers was Beckett Medford and
Cameron Foster and Alex Torres followed him.
For Texline the Tornadoes had both boys and girls runners go on Saturday morning. They ran the junior varsity
race on both sides.
For the girls Zoey Riley and MaKayla Hall were the
runners and for the boys Dylan Lobley, Alan Cazares,
Rocky Day and Bailey Hall ran.
This was the first meet of the year so the times they ran
are not indicative of what they could do, but to get that
first run out of the way is always a good thing.
The district meet for Hartley, Texline and Channing is
still a ways away.
as Faith Claborn had a
couple of aces and Herring and Hayden Dunham
added one of their own as
well.
Highland Park never
stood a chance in the second game as the Lady
Wolves simply ran away
with it.
This Lady Wolves team
is greatly improved from
the beginning of the season and are clicking on all
cylinders as they head into
their first district game of
the season against Pampa
on Saturday.
Their game starts at 3
p.m. on the Lady Wolves
home court. The Lady
Wolves lost their first
match-up last season
to Pampa as freshmen
though they won the first
game and had a chance to
close out the season.
Dalhart has a good
chance to get off to a better start at the junior varsity level tomorrow.

Freshmen 2,
Highland Park 0 (25-12,
25-9)
Dalhart’s freshmen have
a lot of talent. They have
height, they have athleticism, they have servers,
they have everything.
Now they just have to
find a way to get all of
that working at the same
time.
It definitely all worked
T
at the same time on Tuesday night when they
dropped the Lady Hornets
for the second time this
season at home.
Highland Park really
never stood a chance with
the way the Lady Wolves
were serving.
Dalhart simply ran
away just like the junior
varsity helping out the
Lady Wolves on their way
to a clean sweep of the
Highland Park Lady Hornets. The freshmen get
started at 2 p.m. on Saturday against Pampa.

Déjà Vu all over again
By THOMAS LOTT
Dylan Lobley was the top finisher for Texline.
Yareth Lozano goes up for a kill in the first game on Tuesday night.
White on to serve. Sound
familiar? Do you know
what happened?
The exact same thing that
happened in Borger. White
got two aces and helped
the Lady Wolves score six
consecutive points to win
over Highland Park 26-24.
It’s déjà vu all over again
people.
That was the second
straight game Dalhart
closed out the Lady Hornets with five consecutive
points. Sabrah Howell was
the server in game one that
helped Dalhart to the win.
“We’ve done it before
going from 19 to 24 and we
won so that really helped,”
Howell said. “We stayed
calm, but we were still intense so that really helped
so it was crazy.”
he last place Highland
Park wanted to be was
in position to win game
two. Why do you ask? Because the last time they
were in position to beat the
Lady Wolves in a game
it was the Borger tournament and that did not turn
out so well.
Against Highland Park
in game one in the semifinals of the Borger tournament, the Lady Wolves
trailed 24-19 with Courtney White on to serve. The
junior helped the Lady
Wolves score five straight
points to tie it and got the
Lady Wolves on the right
track to win the game 3028.

led off with a hashtag. Every journalism professor
I have ever had is staring
angrily in my direction.
But to describe what
happened in game three of
Dalhart’s game with Highland Park, there is no other
appropriate term to use
than the one I just did, so I
start this off with a hashtag
and will now lead into a
story. Before the game on
Tuesday night I was sitting with Nick Olson in
the stands and describing
what it sounded like when
Madison Sherrill hits the
ball.
“It just sounds different,” I said.
Then I would close my
eyes while Nick watched
and I could pick out when
Sherrill hit the ball without
even looking.
It’s just different when
Sherrill hits the ball. The
hit comes with more velocity, and in game three,
it came with more pain.
If Dalhart hadn’t already
broken Highland Park’s
will with their game two
comeback, they certainly
broke their will, and pos-
sibly one player’s cheekbone in game three.
With Dalhart up 16-10
in game three, Macie Shelton put up a set like she always does to the left side
with a waiting and soaring
Sherrill at the ready.
Sherrill promptly took a
swing on the ball and got
off one of her good hits
that was going to be a sure
kill with emphasis. But
Sherrill got more emphasis
than she could have imagined.
Her hit went straight into
Highland Park’s outside
hitter’s face. The ball hit
her so hard that it bounced
straight up into the air and
actually grazed one of the
rafters on the ceiling.
The ball went out of
bounds and gave Dalhart
one of their most demonstrative points of the season eliciting an emphatic
cry from the fans, Sherrill’s teammates and her
coaches.
“It was a great hit, an
amazing hit, but at the
same time she hit that girl
in the face and I know she
felt bad about it because
she’s such a good kid, but
that was a really nice hit,”
head coach Kira Satterfield
said. “So I enjoyed that
quite a bit honestly, I just
had to savor the moment
and not get too hyped up
about it because it might
not look great to have a
coach jumping up and
down over there.”

Satterfield said. “Let’s go out and play our game and
make other teams adjust to us.”
Highland Park was adjusting all game long in game
one. They had to adjust to the block as Katelyn Sybesma
had three blocks in game one, they had to adjust their attack, they had nine hitting errors, and they had to adjust
to the attack of Dalhart which committed a grand total of
one error in the first game.
That game was one of the most efficient the Lady
Wolves had played all year long and it helped them win
the game going away.
“It was very efficient,” Satterfield said. “And I think
that that led to us in the second game kind of thinking,
‘Oh, hey, we might have this won,’ and forgot that Highland Park doesn’t give up.”
Dalhart got down in game two early. They got down
and they didn’t get up very quickly.
Actually Dalhart really didn’t get up until they absolutely had to as they trailed 24-20 with Highland Park
holding serve.
Fortunately for the Lady Wolves, they broke serve and
Courtney White went on a five point run that gave the
Lady Wolves the win in game two and really put Highland Park away.
“When we got two points we were just like ‘we have to
keep going because you could see those kids were thinking oh, man not again,’” Satterfield said. “And just that
little bit of fear crept in and we kept pushing and you just
have to do that.”
This was the second time this season the Lady Wolves
came back from four points on set-point to defeat Highland Park in a game. The other time was the 30-28 victory in Borger.
The Lady Hornets kept fighting and had a late lead in
game three, but ultimately Dalhart just had too much going for them to lose the game.
The Lady Wolves are now 19-11 on the season and
face Pampa next on their home court at 4 p.m. on Saturday for the district opener.
Raiders on Saturday, and
for Howell, it was a tremendously challenging
situation, but it turned out
to be a good experience
and one that she learned
from.
“It was pretty nerveracking because I haven’t
practiced Libero very
much since last year at the
JV level, and then playing it at varsity was kind
of scary,” she said. “But
we did good and it made
me realize I can play anywhere that they have me
play and so it builds your
confidence when you actually do decent there
when you haven’t really
practiced it.”
Howell stepped back
into her normal position
on the back line on Tuesday night and clearly had
some new confidence.
Though she, and the rest
of the back row, still had
some problems in servereceive, there was a clear
difference in her play on
the back row. Some of
that had to do with getting
good first passes, in other
ways it came in the form
of her serve.
“That’s great because
it’s a different type of
Dalhart Texan
serve from Peyton (Shelton),” head coach Kira
Satterfield said. “And we
kind of go back and forth
and some teams kind of
struggle with Sabrah’s
serve than with Peyton’s
serves or vice versa, so
it’s nice to have that versatility.”
If any word describes
the Lady Wolves this season it is versatile. The 6-2
has hitters playing setter
and setters playing hitters, so by definition a
team has to be versatile.
But where Dalhart’s
hidden versatility lies
is in their serving game
and Howell is a big part
of that. The Lady Wolves
have had nine of their 10
players serve at one point
or another this season.
So when it gets down
to a point in the season
where White’s shoulder
may be hurt or Ballard is
out with an injury or Dalhart simply needs to save
Madison Sherrill’s legs,
having multiple players
that can serve effectively
is vital to a team’s success.
Howell’s
emergence
on Tuesday night is a big
part of that success and
she will remain key to
Dalhart’s success when
district play starts on Saturday against Pampa.

The junior high has a home game coming up on Monday against Bushland. Games start at 5 p.m.
District opener
for volleyball is at
4 p.m. Saturday
By THOMAS LOTT
T
he start of the district
season is finally here
for volleyball! Or is it already here? It is just September with students barely a month into the 2014-15
school year.
But either way, Dalhart’s
district volleyball schedule
starts tomorrow afternoon
when they take on Pampa
on their home court at 4
p.m.
The freshmen team gets
started at 2 p.m. and the junior varsity starts at 3 p.m.
Last season the Harvesters came into their first
match at 6-24. They did not
get a lot of respect going
into the game, but through
the first three games of the
district schedule, teams
were forced to take them
seriously.
The Lady Harvesters
took the Lady Wolves to
four games on their home
court and nearly took the
first game, which would
have forced the match to
five. Then they went to
Borger and defeated the
Lady Dawgs to throw a
wrench in the district title
race.
And that team was 6-24
and didn’t have a lot of
confidence going into district play. That team was
young and inexperienced.
This year, they are young,
but most of their players
return from last season and
they look to be much better
going into district play.
That makes them extremely dangerous.
“I think they’re better
honestly,” head coach Kira
Satterfield said. “They
have a lot of their players
back from last year, they
have their setter back and
she’s a smart girl, smart
player, good hitter.”
And Pampa has some
versatility themselves to
match the Lady Wolves.
Their setter we already
mentioned, but they have a
second setter that contributes to the offense as well
as Madison Brown.
Brown might be the best
athlete in the entire district.
Madison Sherrill probably
has something to say about
that, so we’ll say she is one
of the best.
But Brown is a very athletic middle blocker that
the Lady Wolves are going
to have to contend with.
Fortunately for Dalhart,
the Lady Wolves have one
of the best blockers in the
district in Katelyn Sybesma.
But the junior middle
blocker will have her
hands full with Brown
throughout the match. But
stopping Brown will not
be all about getting blocks,
but rather simply getting a
piece of her hits.
“At this point in district
the block is important all
the time,” Satterfield said.
“But I think tonight we did,
after the first game, a very
good job of realizing that it
is to set up our defense, we
don’t have to stuff balls for
the block to be effective.
“It has to take up space
and make teams hit, and
we have to channel where
we want the balls to go and
I think that we’re understanding that better.”
Fortunately for the Lady
Wolves their first game
with the Lady Harvesters is at home. Pampa is a
completely different team
on their home court in every single sport. They simply play differently when
they are on the road. For
example, the Lady Wolves
took four games to beat
Pampa on their home court
last year and the Lady Harvesters scored no less than
18 points in all four games
and 21 or more in the other
three.
On Dalhart’s home court,
the Lady Harvesters scored
no more than 16 in any
of the three games. Then
there’s basketball, where
in the two games versus
the Harvesters on Pampa’s
home court, the difference
in the two games was a
combined four points. In
the games on Dalhart’s
home court, the difference
was 39 points.
