* — Only complete game Fort Hancock played, all others
decided early via 45-point Texas six-man rule.
Medina said without hesitation.
“We knew this was a team that
had a good running game, and
we had to stop them. We got our
offense on the right foot and our
defense did a good job stopping
them in tight formation.”
“Robert Hinojosa’s intercep-
tion trailing 8-6 really lifted us
high. That's what we needed.
Then when we got three touch-
downs ahead, I had a gut feeling
we'd play good defense in the
next series to clinch it.”
Fort Hancock captured its
fourth state title in five years
with sophomore Vince Ramirez
at tailback. Ramirez rushed for
1,973 yards and 30 touchdowns
and caught 35 passes for 825
yards and 13 touchdowns.
In the victory over Christo-
val, Ramirez had 103 yards
rushing and two touchdowns,
returned a kickoff 44 yards that
set up the Fort’s first touch-
down, returned the second-half
kickoff the length of the field,
caught three passes and threw
for two touchdowns.
Sophomore end Sergio Mal-
donado ended the season with
22 receptions for 728 yards and
13 total scores.
And first-year senior starter
Pancho Solis completed 124 of
213 attempts for 3,079 yards, 5.5
touchdowns and five intercep-
tions.
“Winning another state title
with so many young guys is real
nice,” said Solis, a silver medal-
ist in the two-mile run at the
state track Class A meet as a
sophomore. “The school, the
town benefits from it. It’s some-
thing good for the next people,
the younger people coming to
the school next year.”

eratures for the first two months
were impossible to describe
and I was born and raised in
West Texas and did a 3 year
tour in Yuma, AZ HA !
In the last 20 years I have
been deployed to almost every
state in the USA and have been
to Japan, Okinawa, Phillipines,
Korea, Turkey, Norway, Sweden,
and a dozen more countries all
over the world. I mention
these things, not to sound like
a seasoned traveler but to get
to the point of the letter, which
is to tell you there is no place
like home.
I have known many thousands
of Marines in the last 20 years
from every country and state
and the things that small town
America offers are what is
missing in the vast majority of
them. I am very proud to be
from a small West Texas farm-
ing/ranching environment.
(I have a Texas flag on the
tent wall by my rack) HA!
The next time I am home I
will look up Jerry & Mary Lou
Moseley, who I have never met
and tell them thank you for
sharing their thoughts and lives
with everyone who subscribes
to your paper. I feel as if I

a piece and are in extremely
good shape. Our pilots are
highly trained and I am very
confident they will be success-
ful if they are called on. It
is all of our hones that a peace-
ful solution to this situation
can be found and force does
not have to be used, but it
very well may be required.
I have been here over 3 months
now and seen a steady increase
in the build-up with no signs
of slowing down and it looks
like I will be here for "The
Duration".
I left Hawaii July 19th on a
routine deployment to Las
Vegas for a "Red Flat" exercise
and was there when my squa-
dron got reassigned to the
Rapid Deployment Force that
spearheaded Operation Desert
Shield. Iwas in charge of
taking my squadron to the
Persian Gulf from California
with quick stops in Beaufort,
S. C., San Antonio, Tx.,
Lajes, Portugal, Rota, Spain
and Sigonella, Italy. We were
the first to arrive on the secret
air base and there was no
facilities then and not many
now. I am living in a tent
with 12 other senior Marines
and we work out of tents on
the flight line where our air-
craft are parked. The temp-

I'm sitting here in my tent
on the Island of Bahrain in
the Persian Gulf debating
whether or not to write you
guys. I have a day off, which
has been a rarity, and read
several of the Dell Valley
Review papers that I can't
seem to throw away. I enjoy
them very much and want to
say thank you. This is not
"a letter to the editor" for
printing in your paper as much
as a thank you note to all of
the editors who spend an enor-
mous amount of time preparing
their weekly columns,
I can't express how much
Ina and Colquitt Warrens col-
umn has meant in the last 20
years that I have served in the
Marines. I have told many
of the Marines, that love to
read your paper also, about
West Texas and Dell Valley
because it is a unique place.
I have regretted not writing
Ina Warren and telling her
there were a dozen Marines
that I worked with when I was
overseas in '74 & '75 for 13
months, that usually passed
my paper around the shop
before I got it and really got
a kick out of her column
especially. The down-home
values and appreciation of the
really important qualities in
people that Bernice Elder's
column express are a breath
of fresh air in a world that has
become so polluted that there
is little good left.
The "Any Service Member"
mailing campaign, along with
your paper are proof that there
are many Americans who still
believe in the principles that
America was founded on and
what keeps the USA the envy
of the rest of the world. We
have been literally swamped
with letters from schools,
organizations and concerned
citizens expressing their support
of the Armed Forces over here.
I was in the Marines during
the Vietnam conflict when
public support was not there
and it makes all of the differ-
ence in the world to us and it
makes it a little easier knowing
that America is behind us this
time. Many servicemen don't
agree with what we are doing
just like many civilians don't,
but we are not acting by choice.
We are all volunteers now and
have all taken oaths to follow
orders and we will do that or
get out. Lead, follow or get
out of the way - is the age-old
philosophy, but has taken new
meaning to the young men who
have never really given serious
thought before about what they
are trained to do.
I am the Avionics Chief for
VMFA 235, which is an F/A-
18c "Hornet" Fighter Squadron
1 out of Hawaii. I have 4 shops
in my Division: Electric shop,
Communication/navigation
I shop, Radar shop and the Inte-
* grated Weapons Team (IWT).
We are responsible for maint-
aining all of the avionic systems
on the Hornets which is a very
challenging and interesting job.

FORT HANCOCK - In
Texas six-man football, there is
Fort Hancock, and there is the
rest.
Christoval Coach Billy Bar-
nett knows this well. Barnett’s
team has two losses in the
six-man football semifinals and
two in the state finals. All have
come at the hands of Fort
Hancock.
The last one - a 66-17 defeat
in Saturday’s finals in Mona-
hans — gave Barnett a chance to
look at Fort Hancock’s program
in depth, especially considering
it was the third straight cham-
pionship.
“If you gauge last year (when
Christoval lost 53-46 in the
semifinals), then they’re a lot
better,” Barnett said. “Their
defense is much more physical
than in the past. We tried to
defense them and coulen’t get
enough pressure."
Barnett said the Musiaige,
finishing the season 14-0 for the
second straight time, took ad-
vantage of every mistake his
team made.
“It’s awful tough throwing
the ball against them." Barnett
said. “They just put so much
pressure on you. If we can’t
throw on first down, then the
rest of our stuff isn’t going to
work very well.”
As was the case for most of
the season, the Mustangs
played tough defense, allowing
Christoval just 148 yards rush-
ing and 32 yards passing. Fort
Hancock’s defense in fact, al-
lowed just 10 points per game
and 449.1 yards a game in total
offense.
“Our defense won it for us,"
Fort Hancock Coach Danny
