CAJUN FRIENDS FACE LONG RECOVERY People around the country who have never had to deal with flood waters have no idea what South Louisiana is going through. We do because we have had to rip everything out of our homes and put it out on the street. In Louisiana many businesses, large and small, and more than 100,000 homes are now facing that problem. Only 15 percent of the residents have flood insurance. If it wasn’t for the Federal Government and FEMA many people would have no chance to recover. Think about waking up t...
Capt. Dickie Colburn For The Record The Triangle Tailchasers hosted their year-end championship event this past Saturday and had it been a horse race rather than a fishing tournament, the winning ticket would not have earned you much at the windows.The “odds-on” favorites once again showed why they were the “odds-on” favorites. In spite of the fact that there are some very skilled teams that participate in this local redfish circuit throughout the year, the Vaughans have been all but unbeatable from start to finish. Michael a...
Tommy Mann Jr. For The Record West Orange-Stark is the defending Class 4A Division II state champion after being a state finalist the previous year, and the Mustangs should have a bullseye on their back this year too with another state title run very likely. The LC-M Battlin' Bears have high expectations for 2016 and are looking to get its first football playoff win since 1997 after two quick exits in 2013 and 2014 following bi-district losses. The Orangefield Bobcats have made the playoffs three consecutive years and...
Joe Kazmar For The Record Games This Week WEST ORANGE-STARK over NEDERLAND—This game is always a rock-‘em-sock-‘em affair and Friday’s season opener at Dan Hooks Stadium in West Orange shouldn’t be any different. This game usually is decided late in the second half, but because the Mustangs are defending their state championship, the outcome could be decided much sooner. BRIDGE CITY over HAMSHIRE-FANNETT—Although the Cardinals begin the season on the road, they should be able to outgun the Longhorns Friday night if they find...
Kaz's Korner Joe Kazmar For The Record The Olympic Games are over for another four years with the United States doing what it does best—win the most gold, silver ad bronze medals—racking up a total of 121 medals during the two weeks of competition of nearly every athletic event in the books. However, the pride of being better than every other country in the world was tarnished somewhat by the stupid antics of four members of the U.S. Swim Team, who last week partied too hea...
Meri Elen Jacobs For The Record After a stellar season last year, where the 2015 Mustangs brought home the state title, fans were eager to see just how good the 2016 team was going to be…and those guys have not disappointed, winning both game situation scrimmage against 5A teams Port Neches-Groves and Vidor. The Mustangs beat the Indians, 19-7 and were able to play several of the young guys in the second half. The same happened against Vidor, where WO-S finished with a 3...
Capt. Chuck Uzzle For The Record The sleek silhouette coasted over the tree line with that familiar darting flight pattern, the volley of shots only confirmed the obvious and the dove continued on its way toward the stock tank to get a much needed drink. This scene is played out thousands of times in the state of Texas as hunters take to the field suffering the effects of a long off season without much, if any, practice. Shooting these fast flying birds is enough of a challenge without any other interference, like most dove...
