Crosbyton Chiefs could be
sleeper in the 4-1 A, Div II
The Crosbyton Chiefs
are not picked to win District
but it seems obvious that they
should make the playoffs for
the third consecutive season,
a feat that a Crosbyton team
has never accomplished. The
Chiefs could very well be a
sleeper and they have a su-
per bunch of young players
that will step up and keep the
Crosbyton tradition of win-
ning. The Chiefs defeated the
district champ last season, so
don’t count them out. They
will play last years district
champion, the Ralls Jackrab-
bits in Ralls this year. The
Michael Gutierrez will
lead Chiefs offense
Isaiah Henn will head up
Chiefs defense
Voter ID law - - -
(Continued from page 1)
sues such as voter ID, redistrict-
ing, environmental protection
and the Affordable Care Act
which some refer to as Obama
Care. Within a much longer
statement, Abbott said, “Voter
IDs have nothing to do with
race and they are free to anyone
who needs one.”
Perry sets voting date
Gov. Perry took the offi-
cial step of proclaiming Nov.
5 as Election Day for the nine
proposed constitutional amend-
ments approved by legislators
last spring.
Texans who go to polls
with proper identification in ac-
cordance with the state’s voter
identification law will be able
to vote “yes” or “no” on amend-
ments dealing with topics rang-
ing from property tax exemp-
tions and municipal charters to
funding for the state water plan
and judicial conduct.
Job count grows in July
Texas Workforce Commis-
sion on Aug. 16 reported the
Texas economy added 19,900
seasonally adjusted total non-
farm jobs in July for a total of
293,000 jobs added since July
2012.
Also, Texas’ seasonally ad-
justed unemployment rate held
steady in July at 6.5 percent.
Texas’ unemployment rate re-
mained below the nation’s July
unemployment rate of 7.4 per-
cent.
“As of July,” said Texas
Workforce Commission Chair-
man Andres Alcantar, “Texas
has maintained a positive an-
nual growth rate for 39 straight
months.”
Testing scores improve
Education Commissioner
Michael Williams on Aug. 21
announced that 2013 composite
score for all Texas students tak-
ing the ACT college admission
test hit a new high of 20.9 ac-
cording to the testing company.
In addition, the composite
scores for Texas White, Hispan-
ic/Latino and African-American
students are at all-time highs,
matching or exceeding national
composite scores in each of
those student groups.
“Our state’s ongoing com-
mitment to rigor in the class-
room is clearly evident in these
national results,” said Commis-
sioner Williams. “In the com-
ing years, the challenge will be
in maintaining this momentum
which has provided a strong
foundation of success for all
students, while also offering all
students greater flexibility to
make course choices.”
Measles alert is issued
Texas Department of State
Health Services on Aug. 16
issued a health alert and an-
nounced six cases of measles
had been confirmed in the last
month, bringing the total to 11
cases confirmed for the year.
State health officials have
asked health care providers to
be on the lookout for potential
exposures, particularly in the
North Texas area.
While no measles cases
were reported in 2012, six cases
were reported in 2011, the agen-
cy reported, and said, “vaccina-
tion even shortly before or after
exposure may prevent the dis-
ease or lessen the symptoms.”
DPS to increase patrols
Texas Department of Pub-
lic Safety last week announced
a planned increase in patrols
through Sept. 9, including the
Labor Day holiday weekend.
DPS troopers will focus
on high-risk locations at times
when alcohol-related crashes
are most frequent.
During the extended Labor
Day law enforcement period
last year, troopers made 1,879
DWI arrests, 24,779 speeding
citations, 3,890 seat belt/child
safety seat citations, 4,062 no-
insurance tickets, 1,238 fugitive
arrests,
895 felony arrests and 889
drug arrests during routine pa-
trol operations.

Rabbits are picked to win the
district by most sources, but
the rivalry is always a toss
up.
The Crosbyton Chiefs
have three offensive start-
ers returning, senior quar-
terback Austin Moreno and
senior running back Michael
Gutierrez and junior Nathan
Childers. Offensive players
blocking for the run are ju-
nior Dominique Flores and
seniors Marquis Montemay-
or and Brody Galloway. Ac-
cording to head coach Bran-
non Rodgers, they lost some
key players to graduation but
they have some guys that
were lettermen ready to step
up and fill these spots. Rod-
gers said they know what to
do.
Watch out for the Chiefs
defense. They have seven
starters returning. Defensive
end junior Isaiah Henn is
ready to have a big season.
According to Rodgers with
10 total starters returning this
year, the Crosbyton Chiefs
may be closer than you
might expect. “Together” is
the motto of the Crosbyton
Chiefs this season.
* Returning starters: Of-
fensive lineman Brody Gal-
loway, defensive lineman
Joseph Garcia, running back,
linebacker Michael Gutier-
rez, defensive end Marquis
Montemayor, quarterback
defensive back Austin More-
no, running back defensive
back Nathan Childers, of-
fensive lineman defensive
lineman Dominique Flores,
defensive end Isaiah Henn.
* Other lettermen: Dono-
van Miranda, Brien Berry,
and Bobby Childers.
The Crosbyton Chiefs
will take on the Tahoka Bull-
dogs for their opening game
of the season this coming
Friday night at Chieftain Sta-
dium in Crosbyton at 7:30
p.m. The Bulldogs are very
tough opponent and could
very well be the best team the
Chiefs will face all season.
The Chiefs will have to be
at the top of their game and
make few mistakes to take an
opening season victory, but
with tons of effort they can
win. Go Get’m Chiefs.
