Buck
Rangers
is ready to re-evaluate where it
wants to be next season and that
starts with a winning attitude.
“I think we underachieved
this year,” Buck said. ‘We had
some opportunities that we
couldn’t capitalize on, and I
think that has to do alotwiththe
atmosphere. The kids aren’t
used to winning. They kind of
have that loser’s mentality right
now. It’s much like football is do-
ing. Since the first day I walked
over there, the atmosphere has
changed. I’m just trying to re-
peat what [Atkinson] done over
there with a little twist over here
with the baseball program.”
Buck, a Ryan baseball prod-
uct, started out in the Denton
Boys Baseball youth leagues. He
played shortstop and pitcher
during his playing days, which
included a year at Odessa Col-
lege and a year at Richland Col-
lege before finishing his final
two years at McNeese State in
Louisiana.
He then came back to his
roots at Ryan and learned under
head coach Bret Warnack. It
was under his guidance that
Buck learned how to set and
meet expectations.
That attitude and account-
ability are areas of focus on
which Buck wants to see an im-
proved focus, which he thinks,
in turn, will lead to improved
success.
We need to spend a little
more time on pitching and espe-
cially our offense,” Buck said.
We stmggled on both of those
things this year. Defensively we
played well, but I think pitching
and hitting are the things we
need to spend the majority [of
time] on as far as weights and
core-body stuff like that. Next
year, we’re going to try to incor-
porate more baseball knowl-
edge, spending time on the
smaller details, and not so much
just the skills, is going to help us
out tremendously.”
Next season, the Broncos will
make the transition to District
5-5A, losing Guyer, Lake Dallas
and Trophy Club Nelson — all
playoff teams this past season —
while picking up Fort Worth
Chisholm Trail, Saginaw Bos-
well and Saginaw — also all
playoff teams in 2014 — to go
along with the remaining Fort
Worth Brewer, Wichita Falls
and Wichita Falls Rider.
With the Broncos’ district
change, Buck expects big things
from his team next season.
They’ll have to replace three key
seniors, but with the majority of
the team’s youth getting playing
time this past season, the sum-
mer and fall present opportuni-
ties for strengthening and mat-
uration.
We’re leaving a really good
district and heading into a dis-
trict that isn’t as baseball heavy”
Buck said. “I’ll be very disap-
pointed if we’re not in a playoff
opportunity next year. There are
high hopes and high expecta-
tions. Ifwe don’t set our expecta-
tions high enough, the kids are
going to be content and I felt like
that’s how the kids were last
year. I don’t want the kids to be
content. That’s why we set our
goals high.”

most difficult one over there,”
said Williams, a former third
baseman. “It’s the high chopper
that you can’t come get, that you
have to give on, and he goes
down to his knees to stop him-
self and turn and throw. It’s dif-
ficult because there is no mo-
mentum involved.”
Said Rendon: “I don’t know.
I just threw it. It happened to go
to [LaRoche].”
Rangers starter Nick Te-
pesch (2-1) allowed five runs —
four earned — on seven hits. He
had won two straight, but didn’t
make it past the second inning
Saturday.
The Nationals took a 1-0 lead
in the first, when Rendon lined
Tepesch’s pitch into the Rang-
ers’ bullpen for his sixth home
run. He had six straight hits
over two days before striking
out in the eighth.
In the second, Lobaton,
spelling Wilson Ramos in a day
game after a night game,
worked the count to 3-2 before
hitting a two-run homer into
the first row of seats in right
center. Tepesch had given up
just two homers in 18 1/3 in-
nings before Saturday.
“I think what caused him his
demise [was] early on he was
going deep in counts, and that’s
a fastball hitting team, and he
had to try and throw a strike,”
Texas manager Ron Washing-
ton said. “And when he did, they
made him pay for it.”
The Nationals weren’t done
in the second, with singles by
Denard Span and Rendon. Jay-
son Werth doubled and the ball
was bobbled in left by Shin-Soo
Choo. Span and Rendon scored
to make it 5-0.
Washington broke the game
open in the fourth.
Andrus lost Fister’s pop-up
in the sun and it fell for a lead-
off single. Then with first and
second and one out, Werth hit a
smash that Andrus bobbled be-
fore getting the force at second,
with Werth just beating the re-
lay.
LaRoche then followed with
a three-run shot, his seventh of
the year, putting the Nationals
up 8-0. He has hit safely in all
five games (7-for-22) since re-
turning from a right quad
strain.
The Rangers got to Fister in
the fifth, when Alex Rios walked
and scored on a double by
Rougned Odor, and Mitch Mo-
reland added an RBI single in
the sixth. Hairston, pinch hit-
ting for Werth, hit a two-run ho-
mer in the sixth.
Briefly...
Ron Washington used pitch-
er Nick Martinez to pinch hit for
Tepesch in the third inning.
Martinez grounded out. ... It

cut San Antonio’s lead to 93-91
with 4:01 to play, leading to the
frantic final minutes.
Durant made two free throws
to tie the score at 97 with 58 sec-
onds left. San Antonio attacked,
but Serge Ibaka blocked Ginobi-
li’s shot at the rim — replays
showed the ball hit the back-
board first and should have been
a goaltend — and Derek Fisher
rebounded.
Durant quickly attacked the
hoop out of a timeout and made
a layup with 32 seconds to play,
finally giving the Thunder the
lead at 99-97.
Ginobili came back with a 3-
pointer with 27 seconds to play,
putting the Spurs back up 100-
99.
Durant lost the ball, and San
Antonio came up with it, forcing
the Thunder to foul. Ginobili
made the first and missed the
second free throw with 15.9 sec-
onds to play.
Westbrook was fouled on a
drive with 9.3 seconds to play. He
made both free throws to tie the
score at 10L
Ginobili’s fadeaway at the
