Lady Bucks buck locals
Alpine eliminates Maidens Saturday
It was a contest that all the
makings of a championship
match-and, in fact, was a match
between the two top-ranked Class
AAA volleyball teams in the
state.
When it was over two hours
after it started, No. 2 had defeated

Saturday’s regional volleyball
finals between the Seminole
Maidens and the Alpine Fighting
Lady Bucks was a finals pairing
like we’ve never seen before.
The Maidens, while finishing a
very disappointing second and
missing a chance for the state
tournament, can hold their heads
up proud for their performance
and their season. Their 32-3
seascn mark speaks for itself.
The regional Finals bore all the
elements necessary for a
Hollywood writer’s dream. It was
a see-saw, back-and-forth match
in which both teams bent, but
neither broke.
We’re extremely proud of the
way the Maidens played, despite

No. 1, as Alpine took the measure
of the Seminole Maidens, 16-14,
12-15,16-14.
The Maidens ended their
season with an outstanding 33-3
record, while Alpine, at 29-6, will
represent Region 1-AAA at the
state tournament in Austin.
It was Alpine who dealt the
Maidens two of their three losses
this season, with this one
especially heart-breaking to the
eight senior Maidens who played
their final games for Seminole.
"We had an opportunity to put
the match away at certain points,"
said Maiden coach Lynda
Jackson. "But Alpine came
through at key moments."
She continued, "Both teams
played their hearts out and never
gave up. A lot of people said that
match could very well have been
a state championship-caliber one
and I believe it was."
Although Jackson cited that
the Maidens' inability to block
successfully continuously as
probably the main reason for the
loss, she didn’t take anything
away from Alpine.
'They’re an outstanding team
and will represent the region in
Austin well," she said.
Jackson also had praise for her
team and the fans that followed
the Maidens’ fortune this year.
She said, "It’s been a super
year. I’m honored to have been
able to work with the young
ladies I’ve worked with this year.
They worked hard to get as far as
they did. The fans that followed
us all year know that and we’re
especially appreciative of that.
We also appreciate the many fans

Not this time
Kara Beth Gandy and Melissa Lambert didn’t quite get the block
on this spike by a Perryton player, but the pair, along with other
members of the Seminole Maiden volleyball team, got enough
to defeat Perryton in the first round of the regional volleyball
tournament in Lubbock Saturday. The locals, however, were
denied a trip to the state tournament, as Alpine defeated them in
a thrilling regional finals confrontation. Shea Foote is also
pictured ready to help her teammates if needed.

Youth rally slated for
tonight at Youth Center
A youth rally warning against drug and
alcohol use and abuse will be held at 7 p.m. tonight
(Wednesday) at the M.S. Doss Youth Center.
The event, featuring Dan O’Canas of
Tulsa, Okla., is being co-sponsored by the Sem inole
Alcohol Narcotics Education (SANE) committee
and the Seminole Ministerial Alliance.
O'Canas, a drug addict for over 30 years,
spent much of his younger life in prison as a result
of his association with drugs and alcohol. He will
relate his life’s experiences as they pertain to his
addiction to drugs.
"Best Friends," a singing group from Lub-
bock Christian University in Lubbock, will open the
program with a concert, followed by the presentation
by O'Canas.
Following O'Canas' talk, the young people
who attend will break off into splinter groups to
discuss things they have heard about drugs and alco-
hol and to express their opinions of the problems and
solutions for Seminole.
Young people in grades 7-12 are particularly
invited to attend the program, according to official
sponsors.

City administrator Tom Adams
put forward the plan, which
would also involve incentive
payments to city employees.
Adams said the city currently

Gaines County commissioners
awarded a bid for a pickup for
Precinct 2 to Bennett Motors, the
low bid, at a Monday meeting.
Bennett bid $10,820, with a
trade-in figured in, compared to
$11,110 for a bid from Phillips
Motor Co.
After the motion was approved
by the commissioners, Ron
Minier of Phillips Motor Co.
asked Precinct 2 commissioner
Robert Matthews why he,
Matthews, personally delivered a
bid sheet to Bennett Motors every
time Precinct 2 had a vehicle to
purchase and why he, Matthews,
never brought a bid sheet to
Phillips Motor Co.
Matthews replied by saying
that the bid sheet and information
always ran in The Sentinel.
Minier asked Matthews if there
was a problem between he and
Phillips, and said to his, Minier’s,
knowledge, there had never been
a problem between Phillips
Motors Co. and the other
commissioners.
Minier, citing in particular
some sheriff’s department cars he
had sold to the county, said he
had always backed up his
warranties with prompt, quality
service and had given the
customer a vehicle to drive while
the vehicle was being serviced.
Minier then asked the other
commissioners to comment if that
had not been the case with them.
The other commissioners, Jean
Bagley, Otis Johnson and J.W.
Allen, said nothing.
Matthews told Minier that
Phillips Motor Co. was not an
authorized dealer, and thus the
problem in dealing with the
company from a county precinct
standpoint.
Minier asked Matthews to tell
him if he simply did not want to
do business with him, so that he,
Minier, would not spend any
more time or energy trying to get
bids for vehicles for Precinct 2,
and Matthews said nothing.
Matthews asked Minier if he
nad any more questions and when
Minier said no, Matthews
indicated that the meeting should
continue with the next agenda
item.
Later, just before the
commissioners recessed, Minier
again asked Matthews to answer
the question of whether or not he
wanted to do business with
Phillips.
