ACED IT Roadrunner Foundation Wraps up Record-Setting Guy Davis Golf Tournament

The 12th Annual Guy Davis Golf Tournament wrapped up its tournament on Saturday with a record-setting field – and a couple of big bangs out on the course.

Fifty teams composed of 250 players converged on Crown Colony Country Club in the event hosted by the Roadrunner Foundation and sponsored by several area businesses. Proceeds go toward assisting all Angelina College athletics programs.

Foundation president Wes Welch praised the staff at Crown Colony and said the event could not have run much smoother.

“It was a great day, a great turnout,” Welch said. “The community really came out to support Angelina College today. This was our biggest turnout ever with 50 teams. We had two aces, which has never happened in this tournament. The weather was perfect. It was just an awesome day for everyone involved.

“We had a lot of new people involved this time. This is just a testament to Coach (Guy) Davis and the legacy he’s built in Lufkin and at Angelina College. We hope to duplicate this next year, because this is as big as we can get with this event.”

At Friday night’s kickoff dinner, the Foundation recognized long-time president Steve Hall, who retired from the position earlier this year. Hall was instrumental in helping build the Foundation’s activities, including the annual golf tournament, in his 11-year tenure.

Angelina College athletes served as course assistants, giving golfers the opportunity to interact with the players they’ll see on the courts and fields all year long.

Out on the course, golfers were competing for both bragging rights and prizes. Ross Motorsports gave away a loaded fishing kayak for a hole-in-one; and East Texas Asphalt, Contractor Supply and David Moore chipped in with a $10,000 prize for another ace.

Two golfers walked away with those prizes: Will Thurmond and Justin Morehead each knocked down aces.

“For my very first ace, this was a good one,” Thurmond said. “Hole No. 14, I hit a seven iron 165 yards, one-hopped it into the hole. I never thought I would get one, and this was a great time to get it.

“We had a great crowd around the hole, and their reaction was incredible.” Morehead, who’s notched several aces in his career, carded his ace on No. 4. “I hit a normal 9-iron, and I one-hopped it into the hole,” Morehead said. “There were about six or seven witnesses, so it was perfect.” Final results by flight, along with scores, were as follows:

First flight, Phillips Team (Will Thurman, Michael Phillips, Clark Oates, Will Griffin, Loyd Davis ), 52; Second Flight, Lee Trans Services Team (Chase Bozeman, Jace Lewis, Josh Lewis, Nick Rhodes, Josh Whitworth ), 51; Third Flight, Farmers Insurance Team (Ray Allen, Justin Morehead, Chad Roberts, B.J. Clement, Garrett Massie ), 51; Fourth Flight, Sandridge Team (Jim Sandridge, Jared Sandridge, Monty Bostwick, Jamie Luckett, Bobby McKenzie ), 52; Fifth Flight, Little Caesars Team (Mark Law, Alex Law, Dennis Holm, Bob Melton, Kevin Beaudrox) ), 54; Sixth Flight, TA Septic Team (David Anders, Tyler Anders, Brent Emerson, Koby Emerson, J.T. Page ) 55.

In helping to kick off the 2019-2020 seasons, Angelina College and the Roadrunner Foundation couldn’t have found a more legendary and inspiring speaker to address its student athletes.

Former University of Texas women’s basketball coach Jody Conradt will be the guest speaker for the event. In a career spanning 38 years – 31 of those at UT – Conradt won 900 games, the second-best mark in all-time wins for an NCAA Division I basketball coach. Her Longhorns in the 1980s achieved national prominence, remaining atop the national polls for several seasons. In 1986, Conradt and her players earned the Longhorn women’s program its first (and to date, only) national championship. She was the first women’s collegiate basketball coach to achieve 700 wins, and was the first to coach her team to an undefeated season. From 1978 to 1990, Conradt’s Longhorns did not lose a single Southwest Conference game, a streak of 183 consecutive conference victories. She was a six-time National Coach of the Year and eight-time Conference Coach of the Year. In 1995, Conradt was inducted into the International Women’s Sports Hall of Fame; in 1997, she was inducted into the Texas Sports Hall of Fame.

Over her storied career, Conradt coached 28 players who went on to play professionally, four U. S. Olympians, eight Kodak All-Americans and three players who earned a combined 13 National Player of the Year honors.

During her tenure, Conradt’s student-athletes achieved a 99 percent graduation rate. Her long list of accomplishments culminated with numerous career awards, including enshrinement in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1998 – the first active women’s coach, and only the second woman, to achieve the honor. She also was inducted into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame in 1999. In 2008, the Atlanta Tipoff Club presented Conradt and Dick Vitale with the Naismith Award as a “pays tribute to the individuals who have made a significant impact on women’s and men’s college basketball.”

Coach Conradt was born in Goldthwaite, Texas, where she became a high school standout, averaging 40 points per game for her high school career. She played basketball at Baylor University and finished her collegiate career averaging 20 points per game.

Conradt retired from her 38-year coaching career following the 2006-2007 season. Upon her retirement, the late Pat Summit said of Conradt, “She’s left her footprints all over the game and all over a lot of us coaches.”

The Roadrunner Foundation, hosts of the banquet, are active supporters of all Angelina College athletics programs. This past week, the Foundation held the 12th Annual Guy Davis Golf Tournament at Crown Colony, which featured a record 50 teams with approximately 250 players. All funds generated from the tournament and the Foundation’s activities go toward the AC athletics teams to help with various expenses. In 2019, the Lady Roadrunner women’s basketball team and softball team qualified for their respective national tournaments, and a portion of the Foundation’s funds helped with those expenses.

The “Meet the Roadrunners” banquet will take place on Saturday, August 24 inside Shands Gymnasium on the Angelina College campus. This is an annual even at which the Foundation, backed by generous sponsors in the community, welcomes the athletes and their guests to the first gathering of the year via a hamburger meal. The event commences at 6 p.m., and Coach Conradt will begin speaking at approximately 6:45 p.m.

The gymnasium stands will be open to the public to hear Coach Conradt speak. There will be no admission fee, but donations toward Angelina College Athletics are greatly appreciated.

FIVE ROADRUNNERS SIGN AT NEXT LEVEL Roadrunner Graduates Leave AC with High Expectations

Kevin Norman, Hunter Janacek, Walter Prevost, Kenan Jackson and Markus Stevenson.

Angelina College head men’s basketball coach Nick Wade and assistant coach Zac Kircher had plenty of reasons to feel proud about their first seasons on the bench at AC, but what occurred after the season may be their biggest bragging point yet.

Five Roadrunners graduated and signed to play at the next level, testament to the effort the coaches and athletes put forth both on the floor and in the classroom.

Those players include Kevin Norman, who signed with Jacksonville University in Florida; Hunter Janacek, who signed with Houston Baptist University; Kenan Jackson of Lufkin, who signed with Jarvis Christian College in Hawkins, Texas; Walter Prevost, who signed with the University of Maryland-Eastern Shores; and Markus Stevenson, who signed with Lincoln College.

Norman was the Roadrunners’ leading scorer and a 1st Team All-Region selection in 2018-2019. Janacek shot 35.3 percent (65 of 184) from three-point range in 2018-2019, and Prevost averaged nearly a double-double despite missing time with injuries. Jackson and Stevenson provided valuable minutes off the bench as the ‘Runners finished 18-14 with a No. 2 seeding in the Region XIV conference tournament’s Eastern Zone.

Three of the players signed their letters of intent back in May. Wade commented then on the quality of people and players those new organizations are getting.

“First and foremost, those are great individuals and human beings,” Wade said. “They’ve been raised right and come from great families, so I don’t worry about them. Sometimes coming to a junior college program is just about being tough and figuring things out about yourself you may not know. It’s not for everybody, and those guys definitely withstood the test of time.

“They’ve been coached hard, and they know how to compete. They’ll play to the best of their abilities, and they’ll be great teammates and students. That’s all we can ask of them.”

Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar Announces Highest Ratings for Texas Short-Term Notes

By

Texas repeated its high credit ratings for this year’s Texas Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes (TRAN), which will allow the state to manage its cash-flow needs for fiscal 2020.

“Texas has once again received the highest short-term credit ratings on these one-year notes,” Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar said. “These high ratings, coupled with the maintenance of our AAA long-term ratings, help keep Texas’ borrowing costs low and save taxpayer dollars as we manage our cash flow. Our creditworthiness reflects our conservative approach to financial management, an increasingly diverse economy and our broad and rising employment base. 

“I would add, however, that issues such as emerging trade tensions, the need to continue to address long-term obligations on the state’s balance sheet and increased spending pressures continue to pose potential risks to our future credit. My discussions with the ratings agencies regarding these topics are noted in a number of their reports.”

Texas’ 2019 TRAN issuance is rated SP-1+ by Standard & Poor’s (S&P), F1+ by Fitch Inc., MIG 1 by Moody’s Investors Service and K1+ by Kroll Bond Rating Agency.

This year’s $8 billion TRAN sale is Aug. 21. These annual, one-year notes are sold to help fund school payments and manage cash flow between the start of the fiscal year and the arrival of tax revenue later in the year.

The ratings come on the heels of Hegar’s June certification of House Bill 1, which appropriates $250.7 billion in total spending for the state’s budget during the 2020-21 biennium. During the 2019 legislative session, lawmakers took positive steps toward addressing key long-term concerns that Hegar has highlighted, such as teacher pensions and health care, while also increasing funding for education and reforming the property tax system.

Moody’s said, “The state’s economic fundamentals and reserve position are strong, but balancing the budget competes with the demand for education, transportation and pension funding in the fast-growing state.”

Fitch said its rating is “based on (Texas’) growth-oriented economy and its ample fiscal flexibility provided both by a conservative approach to financial operations and maintenance of substantial reserve balances.”

Kroll said, “The economy of Texas is very strong based on an increasingly broad and diverse employment base, ongoing increases in population and above average growth in gross state product. … the economy has diversified well beyond its past reliance on the oil and gas industry, although this sector remains a significant component of economic activity.”

Several agencies also noted potential risks to the state’s economy.

S&P said, “While Texas’ growing prosperity is not likely to abate within the short term … emerging trade tensions could have a pronounced effect on the state.”

Kroll said, “Given the state’s ongoing economic and population growth, it is (Kroll’s) view that it will continue to face pressure to fund necessary infrastructure to keep up with growth, specifically in the areas of education and transportation. This could jeopardize the ability to maintain balanced financial operations.”

Gambling with Cattle Herd Health

Too often, cattlemen will put off some basic animal husbandry practices to save time and expense, with the hope that their herd will be fine. Much of the time they might “do fine” but doing fine isn’t going to realize top profits and, heaven forbid, what if they don’t “do fine”?

With weather patterns and market prices causing unforeseen changes in profitability, I’ve heard some folks say that farmers and ranchers are gamblers.

But beef producers can do much to minimize the gambling of herd management by being proactive and focusing on known controllable variables and choosing wisely in this regard. Take horn flies, for example. Horn flies are the number one pest of beef cattle. Living their entire life on the backs of livestock, they feed constantly. Control is possible with proper insecticide use and biological control factors.

Those flies are a real problem for many. In addition to the excessive number of painful bites that occur daily, the lesions can lead to secondary infections. Horn flies occur mostly on the cow and usually only by incident on the calves. Not treating mama cows can lead to a 12% decrease in the average daily growth rate of nursing calves.

There are other flies and insects, but control of horn flies should be a priority.

Giving vaccines or other medication are going to part of protecting and caring for livestock. I’ve been hesitant myself on what needle size and syringe to choose. And once chosen, there are some locations and methods to deliver the medications that must be followed.

Gone are the days when you give a shot in the hip. You and I may get shots in the hip at the doctor’s office, but never should we give shots in the rear on market livestock!

Other herdsmanship practices that need to be better practiced include dehorning and castration. It’s true that dehorning and castration can be messy. Yet conducting both practices will net a higher price at the auction barn and may help reduce damage to other cattle.

Cattle identification is key as well. A simple tag in the ear will go along ways to helping most producers know which calf came off which cow. We’ve all heard that the most faded ink is better than the sharpest memory. The same is true for cattle identification. Unless you have a few “pet” cows, you’d be far ahead by identifying them and keeping records.

Understanding basic nutrition will be discussed as requested. It can be frustrating trying to sort thru feed labels and protein supplements. I’ll be talking about what protein levels are needed and what minerals are to be supplemented.

Weaning calves is the right thing to do because it correctly sets calves up to perform better for the rest of their lives. Weaning also gives sellers access to special preconditioned sales which may result in higher prices. Several folks are anticipating selling calves in the fall market. Those calves that are less stressed and already better prepared for the auction ring.

Lastly, there is an enormous volume of data to fully support cattlemen looking the Expected Progeny Differences (or EPD’s). To ignore EPDs when selecting bulls and replacement heifers is like rolling the dice.

This Monday, August 19, the Angelina County Extension office will host a program at 6:30 pm called “Cattle Herd Management Part 2: It’s More Than Just A Gamble”. The featured speaker is Dr. Bradley Clary, local veterinarian.

There is no fee for the program. Topics such as those above on basic animal husbandry practices will be the focus of the program.

Barnes Named Head Softball Coach at Angelina College Former McCook CC (Nebraska) Head Plans to Keep AC in National Spotlight

Josh Barnes knows he’s stepping right into the sweet spot.

The recently named new head coach of the Angelina College softball program knows all about the team’s recent successes, including an NJCAA Division I national championship in 2014 and a national runners-up finish this past season. He’s fully aware of the expectations and tradition, not to mention the level of competition in the program’s home conference.

“I love the competitive nature at Angelina College,” Barnes said. “To have a chance to be a part of that and compete against some of the best in the country is just too good to pass up.

“The (Region XIV) conference competition is going to be exciting, but it’s also going to be the stressful part of the job. I know I’m coming into one of the best conferences in the entire country, and I know I have to do a great job to continue what the program’s been doing for the past few years. But coaches are as competitive as anybody, and every single one wants the opportunity to go up against the best to see where they stand.”

Barnes has spent the past three seasons as the head coach at McCook Community College in Nebraska, where his teams were among national leaders in doubles and stolen bases. In 2019, McCook’s Indians posted a team slugging percentage of .495 with 32 homers and 126 doubles, scoring 382 runs in 62 games to average 6.1 runs per game. While he’s a firm believer in allowing his players to swing the bats, he said he’s more focused on developing a player’s overall individual abilities.

“I haven’t pigeonholed my players into singular skills,” Barnes said. “I try to get athletic players. I love hitting, but at the same time you have to have players who play good defense, and you’ve got to have someone in the circle who can help shut down the opposition. My goal is to have plenty of balance.

“I definitely believe in molding to the personnel we have, but something we’ve done with our teams is the focus on hitting as well,” Barnes added. “We haven’t hit as many homers, but our field (at McCook) is considerably bigger. Our power alleys are about 20 feet longer, but we’ve been in the top 15 in the nation in doubles the past few years.”

Barnes said he’s also aware of how team speed can help change the course of any game.

“Hey, if your mascot is ‘Roadrunners’, you’ve definitely got to have some speed on the field,” Barnes laughed. “I thought that was in the AC rule book.”

A Potter, Kansas native, Barnes played baseball at the University of Saint Mary’s in Leavenworth, Kansas, where he was an outfielder and pitcher. During his playing career, Barnes earned two KCAC Gold Gloves (2010/2011), a 2nd Team All-KCAC Outfielder award (2010) and was selected to the All-NAIA Gold Glove team in 2011.

Barnes graduated from the University of Saint Mary with a degree in Elementary Education and Sports Management. He received his Master of Science in Kinesiology-Sports Management degree from the University of Central Missouri. Prior to his stint with MCC, Barnes was a fifth-grade teacher for four years at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.

Barnes will also experience the unique situation of inheriting incoming players rather than working with his own recruiting class. He feels his approach to coaching will make the transition beneficial and smoother for all involved.

“I want every player to know I care about her as a person, first and foremost,” Barnes said. “We’re going to play a game, and it’s just a game. I tell my players that I hope in 10 years I’m getting invitations to your wedding, I’m getting baby pictures, I’m getting notifications on all your accomplishments, whether it’s graduating with your degree or getting your dream job. I want to be a part of their lives, and I want to be one of the first people they call or text about the great things they have going on.

“The better our relationship and communication as a team, the better we’re going to be even better on the field. The talent’s going to be there. If they’re playing college ball, they’ve obviously got the talent. They have to have the bond to play together and go into battle every day.”

While developing diamond skills is a necessity, Barnes said he feels his student/athlete’s academic success is of ultimate importance.

“For our players and our program, we have high expectations for their academic success,” Barnes said. “Our program (at McCook) averaged eight Academic All-Americans over our three years there. The truth is, what our athletes do in the classroom is going to have everything to do with their future careers. Their academic success will help determine what they’re able to do for a living. We want to ensure they know how to use their athletic abilities to build a better life down the road.

“I believe in teaching life skills. Sometimes, instead of just another day of ground balls, we’ll do things like resume prep, or talk about different areas of life. We want them to get into the community and see how they can impact lives. That’s where they’ll get their sense of self-satisfaction later on.”

Barnes also said he’s anxious to reach out to the East Texas community to introduce his team and himself.

“We do a lot of things with our women in the community, and I want to continue that in East Texas,” Barnes said. “Obviously, people and players are going to see me as a coach, but I want opportunities for them to see me as a person.

“I can’t be any more excited about this opportunity. When I came down for the interview and saw the town and the college, I had the chance to get a feel for it. I’m a family man. I come from a small town, and I’ve worked in a small town. When you’re in that situation, it’s the commitment to family that keeps you grounded.”

AC president Dr. Michael Simon said he believes Barnes is the perfect fit for the program.

“I am excited for Coach Barnes to join the AC family and to continue the tradition of academic success, citizenship development, and competitive excellence in the Women’s Softball program,” Simon said.

Barnes, his wife Lani and 10-month old son Jordy are expected to arrive in Lufkin in the next week.

An Update from Trent Ashby

By
Rep. Trent Ashby

Since my last column, selfish and hateful acts of violence carried out by a white-supremacist took the lives of 22 people in El Paso, Texas. Just hours later, nine more were killed in Dayton, Ohio at the hands of another sick and demented individual consumed with hate. As Texans, and as Americans, we grieve with heavy hearts and grapple with the reality of the senseless violence that has become too common in a nation that for centuries has lit the world as a beacon of hope, peace, and prosperity. Together, we must search within our collective soul to restore the values and ideals that promote unity and strength, rather than division and hate. And while there will certainly be a number of debates about how to address the increasingly frequent mass-shootings, it is my sincere hope that we will first seek to unite behind a common commitment to reaffirm our identity as one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

With that, I’d like to leave you with scripture that has given me peace in these trying times – “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” Romans 12:21

Legislative Update

Starting in two weeks, and leading up to the week of Early Voting this fall, I will be using the column to cover ballot propositions that voters should expect to see when going to the polls in the fall. I’ll provide a concise explanation of each ballot proposition, and offer my own opinion of the policy.

I would like to take this opportunity to squash some of the rumors starting to circulate about how one proposition – Proposition 4 – could create a statewide income tax. I want to be clear — Proposition 4 DOES NOT create a statewide income tax. The official ballot language has been released by the Office of the Secretary of State, and it is very straightforward. The vote you cast is whether the state should constitutionally ban a statewide income tax. By voting ‘yes’ you are saying that the state should constitutionally prohibit the state from enacting an income tax. By voting ‘no’, you are saying that the state should not include this in the constitution, thus allowing for the possibility of an income tax in the future. Importantly, neither vote – yes or no – would create an income tax on Texans.

Reminders

The mobile office is on the road this month and looks forward to seeing you on the following dates, in the following locations: August 7th at the Leon County Courthouse in Centerville from 9:00-11:00am, or at the Madison County Courthouse Annex in Madisonville from 1:30-3:30pm; on August 21st at the Houston County Courthouse Annex in Crockett from 9:00-11:00am, or at the

Trinity County Courthouse Annex in Groveton from 1:30-3:30pm; and finally, on August 28th at the San Augustine County Courthouse in San Augustine from 9:00-11:00am.

As always, please do not hesitate to contact our office if we can help you in any way. Our District office may be reached at (936) 634-2762, or you can call my Capitol office at (512) 463-0508.
