The Mathis FFA hosted the
Orange Grove FFA in a basketball
game Tuesday evening, extending
their friendly rivalry from the
agricultural arena to the athletic
arena.
The Mathis FFA proved to be too
much of a good host, as the visitors
from Orange Grove slipped away
with the victory.
FFA advisors Lonnie Messer and
Gina Gwosdz coached the Mathis
and Orange Grove teams, respec-
tively.
While no official scorebook was
kept, Shane Greenwood and Keith
Dieringer scored a lot of the Mathis
points, while Karen Steelhammer
proved to be adept at stealing the
ball during her brief stay in the
game.
Defensively, Earlene Lee, Joy
Merritt and Shannan Littlejohn led
the Mathis team.
Also participating for the Mathis
FFA were Tom Burton, Cris
Wilkons, Mario Garibay, Juan
Tamez, Ramon Acosta, Eddie
Moreno, Stephanie Gamel, Matt
Brown, George Garcia, Steven Gam-
ble and Javier Rodriguez.
Leading Orange Grove to victory
were high scorers Santos Rodriguez,
Darren French, Douglas Boening,
Brandon Arnold, Larry Hall, Kelly
Baggett, Brian Funke, Jesse Cantu,
Regino Alejandro, Abel Trevino and
Adan Gonzales.
Cheering the Orange Grove team
to victory were cheerleaders Julie
Baggett and Jennifer Underbrink,
who were joined by Carolyn Messer
and Coach Gwosdz at halftime to
lead the crowd in a cheer for the
FFA, the “new spirit of agriculture.
Mary Trevino and Messer acted as
clock operators and scoreboard ac-
countants.

The Centsable Way
ou like your home, your neighborhood and the people who live around you. True,
| you probably wouldn't mind living in a newer, energy-efficient home. But, you're
comfortable where you are.
Now get even more comfortable.
Central Power and Light has developed a program that can make your prfesent
house more energy efficient It's called the £entsoble Home Program.
What they'll do is run a Free fentsable survey on your house and then analyze
the data. Then, they'll give you specific recommendations on how to lower your
energy bills.
The recommendations involve steps like adding additional attic insulation,
caulking around windows and doors and putting an insulated blanket around your
water heater. And installing a new properly sized central heat pump or air conditioner
will qualify you for a 0entsable Home Certificate from CPL
Ybu can call a contractor or do the work yourself. Either way, you'll get a lower
energy bill every month. And a more comfortable home.
If you're interested in the Centsable Home Program, give CPL a call.
And get Centsable about your home Jr energy use.
