The Lubbock Community Theatre
If you read last week’s blog, you know I attended a writing workshop presided over by Jaston Williams and that I promised more information about the Lubbock Community Theatre, where the workshop was held. So, here we go- The organization known as the Lubbock Community...
Jaston Williams Comes to Town
Jaston Williams of Greater Tuna fame, was in Lubbock this past weekend to conduct a writing workshop, The Art and Heart of the Story, hosted by and held in the Lubbock Community Theatre at the corner of Boston and 43rd Street. (More about LCT next week.) I couldn’t...
Mules 40, Bushland 17
The Mules traveled to Bushland tonight for their second district win. It was a long game, a cold game, a somewhat uneven game, but the Mules persevered and won 40 to 17. If you recall last week’s game against Friona, you might remember that the scoreboard was...
600 Miles and 60 Years
I traveled back home to Rosenberg a few weeks ago to pay my respects to Loma Koenig, mother of my friend Carol Sue and friend of my family. I had also been back to Rosenberg for the class reunion in August, so between the two trips I had a double dose of one of those...
Mules 52, Friona 13
Muleshoe and Friona have a history of interesting football connections. There has always been a rivalry between the two towns; that goes without saying. But I can remember the game played in Friona in the late 80s that was a mudbath in the rain. Players’ uniforms were...
Mules 55, Alpine 14
Alpine came to town to help the Mules celebrate Homecoming in the rain. Jr. Baca scores the first touchdown with 9:03 on the clock, and after Alpine has to punt on their possession, Baca and quarterback Caleb Wood do it again, only to have it called back. But Austin...

The Muleshoe Chamber of Commerce hosted their second ranch rodeo last Saturday, September 22nd. I had to be out of town and missed it, but I still want to share it with you. Allisen Welch, three year-old granddaughter of Della and Kelvin Welch, is anxious for things...
Mules 41, Roosevelt Eagles 16
The Mules traveled to Roosevelt to play the team of a former coach and won, 41-16. Roosevelt coach and athletic director Greg Poynor was one of Coach Wood’s assistant coaches back when the Mules went to the semi-finals in 2001, so how do you prepare when the...
Water For Elephants
I missed the first few minutes of the movie Water for Elephants the other day. I looked away when the main character had to put a horse out of its pain. I muted the sound and looked away when the elephant was beaten. The denouement turned out right, but for me was...
Mules 41, Levelland 20
It was a perfect night for football, chilly but comfortable, with only a slight breeze and a good crowd to watch the Mules beat the Lobos 41-20. The Mules kick off, and on the second play of the game when the Lobos made a run for the goal line, I was a bit concerned...
