^Controversy sparks meeting
By
Tim Murphy
Controversy over proposed annexation south of the
city and the approval of a final land plat highlighted
the Tuesday night meeting of the Cedar Hill City
Council.
A group of citizens from the disputed annexation
a area between Cedar Hill and Ovilla questioned the
™ motives of the council in acquiring the land.
Ovilla and Cedar Hill had earlier agreed to a jagged
line separating the two communities and allowed for
Cedar Hill fireman Willis Murdock to request
deannexation from Ovilla and to request Cedar Hill
anexation.
Carel H. Stone, spokesman for the group, questioned
the 500 foot line and requested that his homestead be
dropped from the annexation line.
City attorney Louis Sifford then explained that,
a according to the Texas statute, Cedar Hill must annex
^ a contiguous line no less than 500 feet, and that the Ston
property could not legally be deannexed in the future.
Mayor George Walters then told the group the
motives behind the annexation was to square off
the city limits to coincide with the Cedar Hill
Independent School district boundaries.
The council then agreed to hold the first reading of
the annexation at their March 11 meeting. After the
second reading, the land officially becomes a part of
Cedar Hill.
On the vote for the final approval of the plat for the
0 Shady Brook Farm Estates, three members voted for
approval but the council lacked a quorum for
approval.
Councilman Frank Tidwell abstained from the vote,
Councilman T. W. Cannady excused himself because
of a conflict of interest on the matter and Councilman
Jimmy Mobley was absent.
Developer of the property, Jim Strickland then
challenged Tidwell’s abstaining vote and requested
either a yes or no vote from the councilman.
Tidwell refused comment on the vote and Mayor
Walters recommended that the item be reentered on
the agenda for the March 11 council meeting.
In other action the council adopted an ordinance
requiring address numbers on residences. The
ordinance will become effective three months after the
second publication in the Chronicle on March 4.
The council also adopted a new sign ordinance
limiting the place of political signs.
Under the new ordinance no signs may be put up
until 45 days before an election and must be removed
five days after the election. Political signs cannot be
placed on non-residential property without a permit
from the city building inspector and no signs can be
placed on utility poles.
All signs placed on residential property must have
the consent of the owner. Violations of the ordinance
are subject to fines from the city.
The council also decided not to accept the Wildflower
sewer system until corrections could be made on
drainagae and the surface of the road.
The new service center was also accepted by the
council.
Longhorns take bi-district!
Pulling off another of seemingly endless string of
miracles, the Cedar Hill Longhorns came storming
back in the second half to defeat favored 12-AA Ferris
56-54 for the bi-district championship.
The victory marked the first time ever that a
basketball team from Cedar Hill has won a bi-district
enoucnter and assured the Longhorns their most
successful season in the high school’s history.
The Longhorns entered the game with the first
quarter jitters and fell behind 12-6 as they could not
seem to find the basket. Ferris increased their lead to
27-16 at the half and the Longhorns, as they have much
of the season, were looking at a significant deficit
entering the second half.
“In the first half our kids were nervous and Ferris
simply took away the inside completely from us,”
coach John Rich said. “Ferris was also really fired up
early in the game.”
Cedar Hill trailed by as much as 13 points in the third
quarter before they reeled off a 15-1 splurge late in the
stanza to steal the momentum of the game away from
Ferris.
Trailing by only 36-32 as the quarter ended, the
Longhorns once again came alive in the final period,
outscoring the 12-AA champs 24-18 to sew up their 10th
victory in their last 11 outings.
“In the fourth quarter Todd Boortz hit on three key
baskets for us and Billy Carmack kept his cool and
sank four of five free-throws that really made the
difference for us,” Rich said.
“Plus, Kevin Daigrepont came in and had one of his
better ballgames for us. He executed well and really
fired up the other players,” he said.
The Longhorns relied heavily on free-throws, as they
sank 14 of 22, including 10 of 15 in the final period.
Ferris only managed 8 of 23 from the charity line, in
what made the final difference in the game.
“When the game started, Ferris looked pretty awe-
some, but what saved us was cutting of their fast break
and controlling the tempo of the second half,” Rich
noted.
Todd Boortz again led the Longhorn scoring with 15
points, including the crucial six in the fourth quarter.
Albert Lacy added 10, Eddie Hutson nine, and
Carmack eight. David Richardson, just up from the
junior varsity the last two games, scored six points and
added some timely rebounds.
Lacy led Cedar Hill in rebounds with 14 and Hutson
garnered 11.
The Longhorns managed to shoot only 36 percent
from the field, but on defense limited Ferris to only 32
percent.
“In the third quarter we moved to a tight
man-to-man defense and sagged on the back side to
help our post man,” Rich said. “It really seemed to
help.”
The win upped the Horns season record to 18-10 and
set up a match against the number one ranked team in
the state in 2-AA basketball, Coleman. Coleman has
reeled off a 28-0 record this season and has been ranked
number one for most of the season.
The Longhorns will face Coleman at 8:30 p.m.,
tomorrow at the North Texas State University Gym in
Denton in the second game of the regional tournament.
But, no matter what happens in that game, coach
Rich is proud of his team that has battled back over
and over all season.
“The kids did a tremendous job of coming back,” he
said. “They really showed character in meeting the
pressure of being behind a good ballclub.”
