Childress is Definitely a Road Trip
Childress is a three-hour drive from Muleshoe, so you can see my dilemma when we rolled into the drive-way at 1:45 am: write about the game or hit the bed. Alas, you can see which won. But – I can tell you that the Mules won the ball game, 41-19, so it was worth the...
Pretty in Pink-the Shirt, That is, Not the Movie
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and the Bailey County Relay for Life committee was pondering fund-raising ideas. Since pink is the color linked to breast cancer, they came up with the idea to “pink out the stadium” at the next home football...
Mules Run Over River Road
River Road beat Muleshoe last year, so there might have been a score to settle, but I don’t think that is why the score was so lopsided-Mules 72, River Road 16. The Mules were by far the better team. We invaded the end zone first, and it was not until the fourth...
Joe Bob Stevenson 1944-2010
Joe Bob Stevenson took us all by surprise when he rode off into the sunset October 7. He had gone through by-pass surgery and we all thought everything was going to be all right. But it wasn’t. I could tell you all the information from his obituary again, but...
The Pleasure of Payback: Muleshoe 43-Littlefield 8
The air was crisp and clear; the moon was full; the stands were packed; the teams were anxious. Tonight would be a classic example of Texas high school football at its best: two small West Texas towns that have been football rivals forever, playing for what...
Muleshoe Knows How to Stuff a Bus
The Muleshoe Food Pantry was running out of food. The South Plains Food Pantry, which helped supply commodities and other items to our food pantry, was also running low and could not meet some of our needs. So Donna Jay, who is in charge of our food pantry,...
Muleshoe 54, Friona 19
I don't know if everyone was home watching the Rangers get beat by the Yankees or what, but far too many reserved seats were empty tonight. And the Mules could have used fan support. It was a night of ups and downs, wonderful plays followed by mediocre...
Hellen’s Mule
This September when the bustin' loose mule made its way onto the new turf football field and the floor of the entrance to the high school, cast in stone, as the saying goes, Krystal Angeley Bennett knew it was time to tell the world who came up with that mule. So she...
Mules Celebrate Homecoming 2010 With a Win
The Mules managed to find their mojo and beat the Slaton Tigers 54-7 last night. Things didn't start off well, however, as we fumbled on our first possession and the first quarter ended scoreless, 0-0. Soon into the second quarter we did score, making it 7-0 and not...
Kitty the Lap Cat
Kitty came to us by way of Bill's mother, Eloise, who, for a time, lived at the Harmon Elliott Senior Citizens Complex here in Muleshoe. This scrawny, dirty little cat showed up at her apartment, just matted hair and bones, very hungry and very scared. Eloise...
