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...
Bushland Breaks the Spell
I don't even know where to start with this one. Well, the score, I guess. Bushland 27; Muleshoe 20. Definitely not one of the Mules' better efforts. It was painful and frustrating for us as fans; I can't imagine how unpleasant it was for the players. This game broke...
Whatever Happened to Real Blue Jeans?
I read an article the other day about the great pains jeans manufacturers go to these days to wear out your pair of jeans before you ever put them on. Yeah, and then charge an arm and a leg for a tattered piece of cloth. What ever happened to letting them wear...
Muleshoe Pulls Out Another One
Roosevelt came to town tonight prepared to do battle, armed with a head coach and three assistant coaches who previously worked under David Wood at Muleshoe. Both teams were 3-0 in non-district play. Both teams ran the spread offense. Both teams really wanted to...
