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...

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...
In Defense of Little Movies
Those of you who already enjoy HBO and Showtime will not be particularly impressed with my latest discovery- lesser known movies are just as entertaining as the big guns. We got fed up with cable a while back and signed up with Dish, which is not always...
Road Trip to the Mustang Bowl
Road trips take a while, you know, so when we rolled into the drive-way at 12:55 a.m. last night, or early this morning, I should say, I decided the blog could wait until this morning. And then I had an early errand that had to be run, so I am just now sitting down to...
Rotary Team Roping
As they have for the past eighteen years to raise money for their various service projects, the Muleshoe Rotary Club staged a three-day team roping event over the Labor Day weekend at the Dusty Rhodes arena next door to the Muleshoe Livestock Auction on Highway 84. I...
