Inside Today

Moving forward while remembering the past...Serving Hutchinson County since 1926

The forecast remains dry and warm as we go through the week with temperatures sitting in the low to mid 80s under mostly sunny skies. We could see a few isolated thunderstorms Tuesday through Thursday in the afternoon due to daytime heating, but otherwise well stay mostly dry un-til the end of the week. A strong cold front will be sweeping through on Fri-day that will bring much cooler and wetter con-ditions across the Pan-handle. Right now, the weather models arent in agreement as to exactly how big of an effect this cold front will have, but highs will turn for the 70s by Saturday. As we move closer towards the end of the week and the model guidance gets a better idea of what tem-peratures will look like, we could drop even cool-er for the weekend!

Sunshine, smiles, and small fry fishing at Lake Meredtith

By Tabitha Fleming(806) 273-5612

This weekend Lake Merediths Stilling Basin was home to the Annual Small Fry Fishing Tournament, which is organized each year by the Lake Meredith Small Fry Fishing Association [LMSFFA]. Luckily for organizers and the families in attendance, the weather Saturday was just right for casting out into the well-stocked basin. Although the majority of the fish kids catch are barely bigger than minnows, they are catch-ing on to a lot more than that; they are catching on to the concepts of fishing, and making their way towards being better anglers, whether it be competitively or just as a relaxing pastime in adulthood.

We had 101 small fries, plus six, says Tim Cruze, chief of interpretation, education and visitor services for the Lake Meredith National Recreation Area, who was referring to kids in attendance, not the number of small fry or fish caught. The plus is for those kids that were younger than six years old, Cruze explains.

For almost two hours the shores were filled with chil-dren learning to cast, set a hook, and reel in a fish. At the end of the second hour, a hot dog lunch was started and the work of tallying the numbers was tackled by a coop-eration of NPS rangers and LMSFFA representatives.

There were a lot of volunteers and helpers on hand, and while its always difficult to keep track of every-one that helped, LMSFFA did have help from their own members including David Hagler, President and his wife Gaylene; Misty Bible, Vice President and her husband Tom along with her father Rick Gresham; Pat Foster, Treasurer and her husband Jerry; Charlie Kerr, Secretary and his wife Karen along with their grand-daughter Ireland; Brett & Kay Fisher; Lille Turner and her husband Barney; Tim Cruze, NPS; Betty Glide-well; Kirk Coker, Deputy Sheriff and his wife Tonya; Don Johnson, Sheriff; Theron Baker, United Grovery Manager and his wife Brenda; Jimmy Gowdy, Country Chevrolet and his wife Manda; and last but certainly not least, Pokey the Clown, a.k.a. Doug Smith.

Local photographerscapture super eclipseBy Alex Mann(806) 273-5611

Sunday evening offered locals a chance to witness a rare astronomical event as a lunar eclipse coincided with other phenomena to produce a noticeably larger moon dyed sanguine red. The spectacle was witnessed by amateur astronomers across the nation, but here in Borger a number of photo enthusiasts took the chance to snap pictures of the enormous red moon, including avid hobbyist photographer, and Borger City Coun-cilman, Charles Gillingham.

JonesContinued from page 1

Following a couple of years working inMidland, he and his family moved to Borger, where

he has practiced law with Mitchell & Jones for the past 17 years.

After practicing primarily oil & gas law in Midland for two years, I decided that I was better suited to a small-town practice of law where I could assist clients in a variety of different legal fields on a daily basis, Jones said. Borger was a community of comparable size to the one in which I grew up (Brownfield), and the people and values that I found here were very similar to those that shaped me as a kid and contributed to who I am. Borger and the Texas Panhandle are great places to raise a family, and the opportunity to work with the partners I have been privileged to work alongside, such as Leon Mitchell, James Mosley, Roy Gurley, and Terry Gassaway, have made the decision to come to Borger all those many years ago one of the best choices of my life.

In his almost twenty years of law practice in Texas, Jones has had several opportunities to serve the profes-sion, most recently serving in his current position as Panel Chairperson of the District 10 Grievance Com-mittee of the State Bar of Texas. This committee is re-sponsible for hearing and determining complaints by citizens against attorneys for professional misconduct. In addition, Jones currently serves as Vice President of the Hutchinson County Bar Association and served on the Board of Directors for the Amarillo Area Bar As-sociation from 2006 to 2008.

Jones has also had many opportunities to serve, being active in the community and in his church since coming to Borger. For many years, he has served on the Board of Directors, and currently serves as President, for the Frank Phillips College Development Corporation,

which manages and maintains the endowed schol-arship funds for FPC. He was president of the BHS Band Boosters for 2013-14 and has served the past two years as president of the BHS Volleyball Booster Club. Jones has provided legal services on a pro bono basis to several local organizations, including TCY Football, taught business law at FPC, and participated in mentor-ing young people through the FPC Job Shadow Day. He also provided commentary on the radio broadcast of Borger Bulldog football, served as public address an-nouncer for Borger Bulldog football games for several years, and was team coordinator for his daughters club

volleyball team.Jones is also an active member at Faith Covenant

Church in Borger, serving for over ten years as a lay worship leader, after serving in the same capacity for several years at the Church of Christ at Borger. He is the current chairman of the Board of Elders at FCC, chair of the FCC Missions Team, and a home group leader.

Since 1999, participation and service in the Borger Rotary Club has also been important to Jones, who served as club president in 2005-06 and was chosen as Rotarian of the Year for District 5730 in 2007. He later served as Assistant District Governor for the Borger, Spearman, Perryton, Dumas, and Dalhart Rotary Clubs and, in that capacity, assisted the Borger and Spearman clubs in becoming 100% Paul Harris Fellow Clubs, an honor which is reserved for those clubs in which every member contributes $1,000.00 during a calendar year to the Rotary Foundation, which promotes humanitar-ian and charitable causes throughout the world. Jones himself has been recognized as a Multiple Paul Harris Fellow by the Rotary Foundation.

Jones remarked, I believe that my professional and leadership experiences have prepared me for the tough and reasoned decisions which are required of a district judge. Whether my role has been one of an advocate, a teammate, a leader, or a peacemaker, I have had many opportunities to inspire people to be better and to resolve conflict. My experiences as a small business owner and a member of governing boards have also prepared me, in my opinion, to make the tough call, after much prayer and deliberation, that allows me to have a clear conscience. All of these traits are crucial, I believe, for a judge.

Although Jones indicates that spare time has been hard to come by since his kids entered high school, he enjoys golf, hunting, and following his favorite sports teams the Dallas Cowboys, the Texas Rangers, and the Baylor Bears. Jones is married to his wife of almost 23 years, Lisa, who teaches music at Crockett Elementary in Borger. The couple has two children a son, Cooper, who is a 2015 graduate of Borger High currently at-tending Angelo State University in San Angelo, and a daughter, Carson, who is a senior at Borger High.

I would be honored to serve the citizens of the 84th District and would appreciate your vote in the March primary, Jones said. More information can be found on Joness Facebook page, Craig Jones for 84th Dis-trict Court Judge, or on his campaign website at www.craigjonesforjudge.com.

Small FryContinued from page 1

This is my granddaughter, Ireland, said Charlie Kerr, of the LMSFFA, she used to fish in the tour-nament, but now that shes 16, she just helps out. Definitely a community minded young lady, Ireland helped set up, keep tallies, and provide excellent sup-port staff for her Grandfather. The two generations, working together to make a positive impact for fami-lies is something that the Small Fry tournament is de-signed to do. Its the reason that the LMSFFA mem-bers dedicate their time, the donors dedicate their money, and everyone comes together, Its not just so the kids can learn to fish, said Kerr, Its a family ac-tivity, its giving people a place to get out, and spend some time with each other. Family time, thats what its all about. When it was all said and done, the top three anglers were rewarded in each age group based on how many fish they caught.

The first and second place winners in the oldest age group were Ira Price, age 13 from Fritch, and his cousin, Shy Price, also age 13 who reeled in 29 and 24 fish respectively. These two were really happy with their victory, and said they had enjoyed the event and were excited about their prizes. When asked what advice they have for fishermen that want to catch as many as they do, Ira Price spoke up first, Just dont use no bobbers, or weights, he said.

And use worms, but no weights, or bobbers, Shy

Price chimed in. The two really do advocate fishing with a free float-

ing worm, which apparently paid off this time. The two plan to come again next year, if they can.

Aiden Berck, of Borger didnt catch 29 fish, but he definitely had a good time fishing with his Dad Carl Kaiser during the tournament. It was really fun, just catching the fish, smiled Berck. He caught seven fish in the tournament this year, but plans to try again next year. Bercks mother and other older family members had competed in the same tournament in their younger years as well. The two Borger residents werent fin-ished with fishing for the day, however, Now, well go catch some real fish, said Kaiser. All smiles, the two of them planned to go fish in the larger lake before head-ing back to Borger.

This event wouldnt be possible without the gener-ous donations from: Fuzzys Radiator, Parker Boats, Crown Supply, Kiwanas Charitable Foundation, Hap-py State Bank, Borger Rotary Club, Frito-Lay, Daylight Donuts, Rex Young Allstate Insurance, Fritch Drug, Pantex Federal Credit Union, DCP, Mintons Funeral Home, Amarillo National Bank, Johnnys Furniture, United Supermarket, Little Debbie Snack Cakes, Plains Plugging, Jane Phillips Society, Sharkens Honeyhole, Orbit Properties, Agrium, Disco, Fritch Boat Storage, Walmart Pharmacy, Plains Dairy, Wal-Mart Borger, Air Liquide, Lowes, RMA Enterprize, Ray Mac En-ergy, Chevron Phillips, J&D Signs, Coca-Cola, Solvay, Linn Energy, Phillips 66, Academy Sports, and Coun-try Chevrolet.

Super EclipseContinued from page 1

Its a super moon, and that means that it appears to be something like 30 percent larger. Charles ex-plains, Of course its not really bigger, the moon is the same size, but to the eye it appears larger. While Charles and others likely managed to snag some memorable shots of the eclipse, there are always new opportunities for local photographers to improve their skills. No professional equipment is strictly nec-essary to capture incredible photos, and Charles regu-larly offers classes at Frank Phillips College to share his expertise with those interested. Skill, patience, and timing are the keys to taking better pictures, and these are the very things Charles hopes to share in his lessons. Meanwhile whether its capturing an eclipse or a cityscape, Charles was willing to share a few of his favorite spots around town for capturing this par-ticular event, as well as future ones. There are two places I like to go, and I really hate to let the word get out, he laughs, One place is the east side of the hos-pital parking lot, and that way you can get the moon

coming up over the city. The other place I go is just outside town, by the 6666 Ranch where the historical marker is. It comes up right over the hill there on the horizon.

While a nice camera does wonders to improve photo quality, Charles reminds that thousand dollar lenses and equipment arent necessary at all. Any SLR camera will work, but you need. to be able to shoot on manual, otherwise it wouldnt be much bet-ter than a cell phone. For his part, Charles relied on several pieces of equipment to capture the lunar eclipse. I use a good steady tripod, and typically a telephoto lens, a 70 or 300 for that. That way you can get some wide angle shots if you want to include the city, or zoom in for a closer view of the moon itself.

Unfortunately for those who missed it, predictions indicate that the area wont be seeing another lunar eclipse for another couple years, while it may be de-cades before another super moon eclipse graces the skies. While it may be a disappointment, it neverthe-less offers amateur and professional photographers plenty of time to hone their skills, and prepare their equipment for next time.

Next weekend, visi-tors from all over the country will converge on the Alibates Flint Quarry for FlintFest 2015. This special event, focuses on the stone that shaped and was shaped by the earliest civilizations in the Texas Panhandle. There really isnt any other time that you can get out and really ex-perience Alibates like this, said Tim Cruze, Chief of Interpretation, Education and Visitor Services at Lake Mer-edith National Rec-reation Area Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument.

Alibates Flint Quar-ries National Monument will host FlintFest 2015 on Saturday, October 3, and Sunday, Octo-ber 4, 2015. Flintfest

celebrates the unique resource known as Ali-bates flint and its usage through the ages. This year also marks the 50th Anniversary of Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument. Activities start at 9:00 am and run through 4:00 pm.

Join some of the best flintknappers from around the area as they demonstrate the skill of making stone tools and weapons. Learn about the flintknapping pro-cess while watching arrowheads and spear-points being made on site by demonstrators us-ing the exact same tech-niques once used by an-cient Native Americans. Listen to the beautiful music of Paul and Grace Jones, from Taos, New Mexico, as they demon-strate the making of Na-tive American flutes and discuss the history and

art of traditional Koko-pelli flute building. Use an atlatl to throw spears, just as the Paleo Indians of the past, during pre-historic weapons dem-onstrations.

Special Ranger-led programs will include tours to the ruins of an Antelope Creek Peo-ples Village, walks on what was once the LX Ranch to learn about the days when cowboys ruled the plains, behind the scenes tours of the 1904 McBride Ranch House, and Alibates Flint Quarries tours. Tours are free. If you are interested in one of the special tours sign-up at the front desk at the Alibates Visitor Center. We will limit each tour to 25 people for protec-tion of the resource.

Join author Audrey Calivodo for her theater presentation entitled

Following the Parker Trail. Calivodo will share the poignant story of Cynthia Ann Parker. Taken from her fam-ily when she was nine years-old, Parker be-came Comanche. Her oldest son, Quanah, would become a leader of his people.

Learn about uses of the great Buffalo, and see Native American dress and learn a dance of two from Minoma Littlehawk-Sills, mem-ber of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Nation of Oklahoma.

Kids can become Ju-nior Rangers and earn a badge, and a free t-shirt.

Ranger-guided activities include an archeological dig for young visitors and the opportunity to grind corn with the pre-historic metate.

This year also marked the installation of a brand new state of the art museum and exhibit area at the Alibates Flint Quarries Visitor Center featuring educational hands-on and interac-tive exhibits fun for the entire family.

For more information or to make reservations, contact Lake Meredith headquarters at 806-857-3151 or Alibates Flint Quarries at 806-857-6680.

Texas Rangers announced today that 45-year-old Antonio Perez, who is a suspect in a homicide of Christian Eduardo Guerrero Ramirez, turned him-self into Little Rock, Ark, Police Officers around 3:30 p.m.

The homicide occurred September 19 at the Braums Dairy Farm near Follett, Texas. Rangers will be continuing their investigation into the ho-micide.

Rangers end manhunt

Early Saturday morn-ing the Texas Depart-ment of Public Safety (DPS) respond to a ma-jor crash that resulted in the death of one person and injured another.

At around 6:51 a.m., DPS Troopers respond-ed to a two-vehicle crash on US 87, ap-proximately five miles south of Dumas in Moore County.

A preliminary in-vestigation indicates that Abdulkarim Omar Adam, 28, of Amaril-lo, Texas, was driving a 2006 Toyota Camry northbound on US 87,

when for an unknown reason, he crossed the center median, travel-ing into the southbound lanes of US 87, striking a 2015 Chevrolet pick-up.

The pickup was driv-en by Jonathan Samuel Wallace, 39, of Dumas, Texas.

Adam, who was wearing a seatbelt, was pronounced dead at the scene while Wallace, who also was wearing a seatbelt, was taken to Moore County Hospital with minor injuries. The crash remains under in-vestigation.

Moore county fatality

WHITE DEER, Tx. Panhandle Groundwater Conservation District Board of Directors held their monthly meeting on Wednesday, September, 23, 2015 at the Districts office in the Windmill Room. One major topic of discussion was Conservation Areas C-15-1 and C-15-2 in Donley County.

Many representatives from Donley County were present to address the Board with concerns about turning the Study Areas into Conservation Areas, areas in which the Board could imple-ment more intense monitoring and ad-ditional conversation, which could in-clude restrictions on water pumpage.

C.E. Williams, General Manager of the District began with a presentation showing the decline rate and use of water in the areas over the past sev-eral years. The two areas of concern have steadily been declining over the acceptable rate since 2007. Represen-tatives were given the opportunity to address the Board members regarding the issue.

One representative said he knows how hard they have been pumping their wells over the last several years, but he urged the Board to hold off un-til after the results of the 2016 winter water level measurements.

The District takes measurements in the Wintertime, usually in a period when producers are not pumping, to receive more accurate measurements of the static water level, which is a

representation of what the well pro-duces.

Another issue concerning the rep-resentatives was the meters used on the wells. A few of the representatives believe the meters do not always pro-vide accurate readings. Williams said if there is ever a problem with a meter the District needs to be notified imme-diately where corrective action can be taken.

These are the type of things we need to know, and we wont know about these issues unless you tell our technicians or call the office to inform us. We also want you to know, you are welcome to accompany our techni-cians while they check the meters on your wells or observe well level mea-surements. All you need to do is let us know in advance.

Williams also reminded that meters are required on all wells in a Study Area, not just these areas in Donley County, but all counties currently in the sttudy areas. The Districts meters are the most cost effective method we have identified for those who are re-quired to use them, but those produc-ers are allowed to purchase their own meters if they feel the Districts is not sufficiently accurate.

Ultimately, the Board decided against sending these areas to a pub-lic formal hearing, the next step in the Conservation Area process, and the meeting was adjourned.

Scoreboard

Friday night football...Brandon Seaman throws a pass during West Texas game against Spearman Friday night in Stinnett. The Comanches fought hard but came up just one point short losing 34-33. (photo by Don Rice)

ATLANTA (AP) Jordan Spieth treated the Tour Championship as if it were a major. He played like it was, too.

Looking for a fitting finish to a sensational sea-son, Spieth poured in putts from all over East Lake and never gave Henrik Stenson or anyone else much of a chance Sun-day. His final stroke was an 8-foot par putt that was right in the heart for a 1-under 69, and he leaned back with a smile of pure satisfaction.

The 22-year-old Texan became golf's first $22 million man a PGA Tour record with just over $12 million in prize mon-ey, and the $10 million bo-nus for the FedEx Cup.

"This is incredible," Spieth said. "This is an event where we approach it like a major champion-ship because we know this is possible at the end of it."

Even when he missed back-to-back cuts to start the FedEx Cup playoffs, Spieth spent the month trying to peak for the most important event in the lu-crative series. He was the first to show up at East Lake on Monday to start grinding on his game. And with a one-shot lead going into the final round Sun-day, he was on the putting green three hours before his tee time for what cad-die Michael Greller called the "early grind."

"We only do this at the majors," Greller said.

It all paid off so hand-somely, especially that putter.

Spieth made three bird-ies in a four-hole stretch around the turn, and they were demoralizing for Stenson. Spieth made a 20-foot birdie on No. 8 for a two-shot swing that he

never gave back. He made an 18-foot birdie on the par-5 ninth with Stenson already at tap-in range for birdie. And with Stenson just over 3 feet away for birdie on No. 11, Spieth curled in a 45-foot birdie putt.

"Eleven was a dagger," Spieth said.

At that point, Sten-son could only smile and bump fists with Spieth.

"You can't expect him to make it," Stenson said after a 72. "You're feeling like you got a good chance to make up some ground. But he just poured that one in the middle. It's fun to watch and just say, 'Well done.' The best player this week won the tournament, won the FedEx Cup."

Spieth closed with seven pars for a four-shot victory over Stenson, Danny Lee (65) and Jus-tin Rose (66). His fifth victory of the year, which includes the Masters and the U.S. Open, was worth $1,485,000 million and gave Spieth $12,030,465 for the year.

The previous record was $10.9 million by Vi-jay Singh in 2004.

And if that wasn't enough, Spieth went back to No. 1 in the world.

The first person to greet him was his little sister, Ellie, who keeps Spieth and the entire family so grounded in light of so much success. His par-ents, girlfriend, grandfa-ther and a tight group of high school friends from Dallas were there to watch another amazing perfor-mance in a year filled with him.

Spieth became the youngest player since Horton Smith in 1929 to win five times in a season, and the youngest to claim the FedEx Cup title.

LOUDON, N.H. (AP) Jeff Gordon kissed his wife and high-fived his two young children on pit road, a part of his life missing when he made his Cup debut in 1992.

What has been familiar for all 23 years of Gor-don's career was starting a NASCAR race in the No. 24 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports.

He's never missed one and now he's NA-SCAR's new Iron Man.

Gordon's latest mile-stone in a surefire Hall of Fame career came Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway when he set the NASCAR record with his 789th consecutive start. The 44-year-old Gordon passed Ricky Rudd for the record. Rudd set the mark in 2002 when he broke Terry Labonte's streak of 655 consecutive races.

"Jeff's a good guy, so if someone's going to break the record, better him than not one of your favorites," Rudd said by phone to The Associated Press. "I've done my time. People still remember me. I may not be Iron Man 1. Maybe I'm Iron Man 2 now."

Gordon will retire at the end of the season and shift in 2016 into the Fox broadcast booth.

The four-time Cup champion's streak began with his Cup debut on Nov. 15, 1992, at Atlanta Motor Speedway. He has never missed a race and holds the record for the longest consecutive starts streak from the beginning of a career.

Should Gordon make every start the rest of the season, he'll have 797 consecutive starts.

Gordon has four series championships and his 92 wins have him third on the career list, trailing only Hall of Famers Rich-ard Petty (200) and David Pearson (105).

Gordon and his family took a parade lap around the New Hampshire track in a duck boat usually re-served for Boston's cham-pions.

"It's rare that we get the team and my whole family and they get to ride around the track with me like that, so that was very special," Gordon said.

Gordon's first race came in the last one for Petty, now a team owner. The Atlanta race was won by another Hall of Famer in Bill Elliott, whose son Chase will replace Gordon next season at Hendrick Motorsports.

LOUDON, N.H. (AP) Matt Kenseth had the fresher tires and the fuller tank as he stalked Kevin Har-vick with postseason advancement at stake.

Harvick never slowed down to conserve fuel, his team firm in the belief he could stretch his way to victory lane.

The gamble backfired. Harvick was out of gas, and now, almost out of chances to defend his Sprint Cup title.

Kenseth pressured Harvick down the stretch and took the lead for

good when the defending series champion ran out of fuel Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in the second race of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Champi-onship.

"I ran as hard as I could to get as close as I could to him because I wanted to beat him," Kenseth said. "The faster he has to go, obviously, he burns more gas."

Harvick burned it all. Every last drop gone for the Stewart-Haas Rac-ing driver before the finish line.

Kenseth, who won for the fifth

time, earned a berth in the second round of NASCAR's playoffs and gave Joe Gibbs Racing its fourth straight victory.

Harvick had the dominant car and led the most laps until fuel woes hit and knocked him out with three laps left. He tumbled to 21st a week after he was finished 42nd in the Chase opener and will surely have to win next week at Dover International Speedway to advance to the second round.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) The Dallas Cowboys were off and running without Tony Romo and Dez Bryant.

Joseph Randle had touchdown runs on the Cowboys' first two possessions for a quick lead, and none of Brandon Weeden's 14 pass attempts before halftime hit the ground; he had 13 completions and an interception.

But Matt Ryan threw two touchdowns to Julio Jones in the second half, fill-in running back Devonta Freeman ran for 141 yards with three scores against the NFL's top rushing de-fense as the Falcons overcame a trio of two-touchdown deficits for a 39-28 win Sunday.

"We couldn't keep our momentum that we built in the first half, carry over into the sec-ond half," said Weeden, who finished 22 of 26 for 232 yards.

Randle had a 28-yard run on the first play of the game, then after a penalty scored on a 37-yard run. He added 20 yards on his next play, but only 2 yards on his last 11 carries including a 1-yard TD that made it 14-0.

"It felt like they had everybody in the box," said Randle, who emerged as the starting run-ning back this season after the Cowboys lost NFL rushing leader DeMarco Murray in free agency.

The Cowboys had won their first two games, extending their regular-season win-

ning streak to six games, even after Bryant broke a bone in his right foot in the opener and Romo sustained a broken left (non-throwing) collarbone last week at Philadelphia.

They still have the NFC East lead Wash-ington, Philadelphia and the New York Giants are all 1-2 heading to winless New Orleans next week. New England visits Dallas in two weeks, but Bryant is likely out at least another month and Romo will miss another six games or more.

Worried? No, not at all," Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. "I wish we had all our play-ers, but that's dreaming. I like what we did out there today. ... We just have a lot of work to do to stay in the hunt."

Running back Lance Dunbar caught 10 passes for 100 yards, several of those futile attempts to get first downs in third-and-long situations, while tight end Jason Witten had six catches for 65 yards.

But Terrance Williams, the primary fill-in for Bryant, had only two passes thrown his way and didn't catch either.

With Romo watching with his left arm in a sling, Weeden started 9 of 9 to push his streak of completions to 16 to start the season.

Weeden's ill-advised throw while scram-bling to his left was easily intercepted by Wil-

liam Moore, putting the Falcons on the Dal-las 23. Freeman's second score pulled them within 21-14, though it was 28-17 at the half after Randle's third TD run and Matt Bryant's 32-yard field goal.

Ryan completed 24 of 36 passes for 285 yards, including a 45-yarder to Jones mid-way through the third quarter before a 2-point conversion that got the Falcons within 28-25. Jones caught 12 catches for 164 yards, his third consecutive 100-yard game to start the season.

Atlanta went ahead on Freeman's 7-yard run in the opening minute of the fourth quar-ter, and Jones caught a 2-yard TD with 3 min-utes left.

"A lot of resolve to reset and come back and finish like we did," Falcons coach Dan Quinn said. "We clearly got punched in the mouth ... Dallas certainly had us reeling all the way through and we had to battle like crazy to get back in it."

Notes: The Cowboys played their 50th regular-season game at AT&T Stadium. They are 27-23 in the stadium that opened in 2009. ... Dallas' four rushing touchdowns in the first half were the most since at least 1991, accord-ing to the team.

Lady Eagles beatTulia on the road in four

The Sanford-Fritch Lady Eagles got a impres-sive road victory Saturday as they beat Tulia in four games, 25-18, 25-11, 15-25, and 25-20.

Reagan Moos led the attack at the net for the Lady Eagles with 22 kills. Shaeli Garrison was sec-ond on the team in kills with eight. Emmy Meek led the way in assists with

20, and Reagan Moos had eight. Emmy Meek led the team in aces with four. Reagan Moos had three aces, and Shaeli Garrison had two.

On defense, Bobbie Naul and Shaeli Garrison were a force at the net with three blocks each. Am-ber Nicholes and Emma Valle both chipped in two blocks a piece for the Lady Eagles. Reagan Moos led the way in digs with 14, Jayden Snider had 13, and

Amber Nicholes had 12 digs on the day.

The Lady Eagles are now 11-5 on the season, and look to fight for a dis-trict title this year. Head coach Brittany Snider said I was very proud of the girls today for the way they played because we were missing two of our key players due to an injury and other circum-stances.

HOUSTON (AP) J.J. Watt got a kick out of Tampa Bay's kicking woes because they helped the Houston Texans to their first win.

Ryan Mallett threw for threw for 228 yards and a touchdown, and Alfred Blue had 139 yards rush-ing with a score to lead the Texans to the 19-9 victory Sunday.

Rookie Kyle Brindza, who made a 58-yard field goal early in the second quarter, missed an extra

point and three field goals in the second half.

"The field goal kicker kind of helped us out a little bit, so I appreciate that," Watt said, snicker-ing.

Mallett gave Houston (1-2) a lead with a 5-yard pass to DeAndre Hopkins on the opening drive.

The Buccaneers (1-2) went up 9-7 on a touch-down reception by Charles Sims in the second quarter that came after an inter-ception by Mallett, but

didn't score again."We didn't block any

of them," Watt said of the field goal misses. "They just didn't go through the yellow things ... sweet. I hope that happens every time."

Blue had a 20-yard touchdown run after Brindza's second missed field goal in the fourth quarter, but Randy Bull-ock missed the extra point to leave Houston up 16-9.

Mallett helps Texans to 1st win, 19-9 over Tampa Bay

HOUSTON (AP) With the Houston Astros needing him to pitch well, Dallas Keuchel felt no pressure. Rather, he was totally at home.

Keuchel improved to 15-0 at Minute Maid Park this season, leading the Astros past Texas 4-2 Sun-day and cutting the Rang-ers' lead in the AL West to 2 games.

"It's honestly something I never really expected because this is a so-called hitter's park, with the di-mensions and everything," Keuchel said. "It feels like I am at home home here this year. I have steadily improved over the years."

Along with closing in on Texas with a week left in the regular season, the Astros held their lead for the second AL wild-card spot. They stayed a half-game ahead of the Los Angeles Angels, with Minnesota trailing by 1 games.

Keuchel (19-8) struck out 10, giving up just one run and two hits in seven innings. The lefty retired 15 straight batters after walking Elvis Andrus in the second inning.

Luke Gregerson threw a perfect ninth for his 29th save.

Martin Perez (3-6) al-lowed two runs both unearned and five hits in six innings.

Keuchel has allowed two runs over his last two starts after giving up nine in 4 2-3 innings against Texas on Sept. 16.

"I think I was actually the exact same," Keuchel said. "They were hitting pitches the last start, and they weren't doing that to-day. I can't really chalk it up to anything."

Keuchel set a team record for most strike-outs by a left-hander in a season when he fanned Mike Napoli in the first. Keuchel has 213 this year; Mike Cuellar fanned 203 in 1967.

"I've seen Dallas pretty good this year," manager A.J. Hinch said. "For him to step up after the first inning when a couple things didn't go his way - he gives u the cheap run, they scratch one across - he was as dominant as he's

been the whole game."Houston also clinched

its first winning season since 2008.

"It's definitely nice because nobody likes to lose," Keuchel said. "It doesn't matter if it's pro-fessional ranks or col-lege, nobody really likes to lose. We've done a lot of that these last couple of years. The turnaround has been nice. Guys are play-ing with more confidence; guys are maturing; guys are growing, and that is fun to see."

Jake Marisnick gave Houston the lead with a two-out, two-run double in the second. A two-out error by shortstop Elvis Andrus set up Marisnick.

Chris Carter had two hits and greeted Ross Ohlendorf with a solo home run to left to up Houston's lead to 3-1.

Pinch-runner Carlos Gomez stole second and later scored on a passed ball in the eighth to extend the Astros' lead to 4-2.

Prince Fielder put the Rangers up 1-0 in the first with an RBI groundout.

Rougned Odor opened the Texas eighth with a triple off Oliver Perez and scored two batters later on Delino DeShields' ground-er, making it 3-2.

The Rangers now head home to Arlington for their final seven games.

"Safe? There's nothing safe in baseball," Texas manager Jeff Banister said. "You've got to con-tinue to play. It's about competing. These guys, they've never taken that approach. We've been playing from behind all year long. We've worked way too hard to get to this point to think that any-thing is safe."

Perez retired 11 straight from the second until the sixth, snapped by Carlos Correa's single with one out in the sixth. He re-bounded after allowing five runs in four innings in his last start against Oakland.

"I think it's time to finish what we started. We got a good group of guys. We play together every day. That's what you have to do as a team."
