Law Enforcement Center passes inspectionBy ROB DURHAM

editor@breckenridgeamerican.com

The Stephens County Law Enforcement Center passed its routine jail inspection Ste-phens County Commissioners reported Monday at their reg-ular meeting.

The inspection, conducted by The Texas Commission on Jail Standards, was done on Jan. 22, as Jail Administrator Eric Brown said the Law En-forcement Center passed with flying colors.

“The inspector said every-thing we had was in tip-top shape,” he said. Our cells were in good shape. The only thing we were counseled about was some technical assistance on some new forms from the state and all went good on that part of it. Everything just went re-ally well.”

The inspection is done on a surprise inspection once a year and the jail has to live up to state standards or risk viola-tion.

“Overall, everything was good,” said Richard Perez, chief jailer. “We did our normal

drills and we didn’t have any-thing go bad.”

Brown said anytime you have the state come in for in-spection on any part of the workings of the Law Enforce-ment Center, it can be stress-

ful. But, he said the jail staff has always been up to the task.

“It’s stressful for us because we really try to make sure ev-erything is up to standards on a daily basis,” he said. “We don’t just try to rush and get

ready when the inspection comes. We try to make sure we are in compliance year round. We did great on this inspection and our employees did a great job when it comes to keeping our standards.”

Buckaroo, OU standout Sandefer passes awayBy BRANT THURMOND

sports@breckenridgeamerican.com

The Breckenridge commu-nity was saddened to hear the news this week that a former BHS standout past away.

J.D. (Jakie) Sandefer III, passed away Tuesday in Hous-ton’s St. Luke’s Hospital fol-lowing a recent illness. He was 78.

Though he may have left the world in a physical sense, his memories and achievements will live on forever in the hearts and minds of current and former Buckaroos.

Sandefer was an all-state football player for the Bucka-roos’ championship team in 1954.

Current Breckenridge Ath-letic Director and Head Foot-ball coach Casey Hubble said Sandefer had a impact in mak-ing Buckaroo football what it is today.

“He was a big part of the tradition that makes Bucaka-roo football what it is today,” said Hubble. “The success that he had when he was here helped make Breckenridge known across the state and most of the country. He was a testament to the town and the

I am a thinker.Sometimes, stuff is way over-thought

in my case. However, I get one right every now and then and I will put this recent thought up against anything going in our community right now.

The vacant building that formerly housed Walmart was recently blessed with a buyer who is going to remodel the property and bring in four new retailers into our community.

I was excited to hear this because it will increase our local sales tax numbers, which, in turn, will help the city of Breck-enridge when it comes to maintenance of our community.

It’s a good thing in any way you look at it because it’s just a breath of fresh air that will be felt across Breckenridge.

But, there’s always a devil’s advocate in every situation and this one has poten-tially frightening results.

With the increased retail presence in the Western portion of Breckenridge, traffic in that area is going to become a nightmare.

For example, when Walmart opened its new building, the traffic was a danger be-cause of the increased number of vehicles coming off FM 3099 onto Walker Street.

Now, with the vacancy of the old Walmart building, no one had to wonder if a westbound car was making one of three left turns in less than 1/4 of a mile

or continuing westbound toward Abilene.But, that is all about to change and I

am issuing a challenge to the engineers and statistical leaders of the Texas De-partment of Transportation.

TxDOT is a vital part of our communi-ty and they provide services for our com-munity with the utmost cooperation.

But, in this situation, I would hope they are thinking proactively instead of reactively.

The potential for that area is going to be a firestorm because the increased re-tail presence is going to bring visitors to our city from all directions and we, as a community, need to be prepared for that.

It shouldn’t have to take a member of law enforcement knocking on a family’s door to deliver somber news. The right thing to do is make a decision to fix what is already a potential problem.

I am the parent of a pair of potential drivers and I cringe at the thought of sending them through that portion of our community in a vehicle.

The numerous 18-wheelers and com-mercial trucks hitting overdrive head-ing out of town, coupled with the work vehicles coming on and off FM 3099 can keep a man up at night stressing over the safety of his children.

With this being said, I plead with Tx-DOT to take a serious look at this fast-approaching dangerous situation. Right now, it’s bad enough.

One cross planted at that intersection is one too many.

Memories dating back to World War II include “tourist courts”—fore-runners of motels—and first spins of Roger Mill-er’s King of the Road—a 1965 song hit. The lyrics included the line, “rooms to let, fifty cents.” (Three years earlier, Motel 6 had begun, so named for its $6 nightly rate.)

During childhood, I thought my late Uncle Gene, a hotel bellman, looked like the guy shown on billboards peddling Phillip Morris cigarettes. Gene worked at the 12-story Hotel Brown-wood, a now-vacant struc-ture that still gives my hometown the hint of a skyline. “Big-eyed” at his piles of coins at shift’s end, I was astounded so many people didn’t choose to carry their own bags.

“When Crossbows are Outlawed, Only Outlaws will have Crossbows” warned a lobby sign, or maybe this was in anoth-er hotel….

A half-century of travel vignettes push and shove forward in my mind’s eye, as if vying for recollec-tion.

They include: Flying to the Permian Basin from Dallas on Muse Air’s final trip there in the ‘80s. I thought it odd the board-ing announcement of-fered “my choice of seat-ing.” Little wonder, since I was the sole passenger. Three flight attendants fawned over me, even in-viting me to play cards. Alas, “Old Maid” was the only card game I knew, so they dealt a hand for their “phantom fourth player.” That was OK by me; I wanted nothing to take my mind off first-class seating for the only time in my life. (I’m sure Muse didn’t make the flight to

accommodate me; there were two-dozen people at Midland Air Terminal go-ing to Dallas Love Field, where the short-lived air-line failed to make a dent in Southwest Airline’s dominance.)

--Requesting a wake-up call at a small town “Mom and Pop” motel near Seattle. “Pop” hand-ed me a wind-up alarm clock, mumbling some-thing about the last Texas guest not knowing how to set it or wind it and pre-ferred to miss his flight than to learn how.

Pleading for a room. I almost never make reser-vations in advance. With few hours to sleep before an early flight from Cal-gary, I heard “sorry, we’re full” laments at numer-ous hotels.

My wife--with “I told you so” looks on her face--vigorously patted her foot for emphasis. Told that the nearest vacan-cies were 75 miles away, I asked, “Why?” The wise guy clerk questioned: “Ever heard of the Cal-gary Stampede?” How about meeting rooms? Yes, they had them for 40 up to 400 guests. Did any have sofas that make beds? One did. He rented us one at the single room rate and handed us bed sheets and pillows. A tearful wife sealed the deal….

Learning what “quaint” means in London. Our ho-tel room was tiny, but did have electricity. Sadly, it was timed and coin-oper-ated.

We were plunged into darkness during an early morning check-out.

Not about to put in an-other coin and leave un-used electricity behind, we finished packing by flashlight….

We have come to appre-ciate truly unique hotels with interesting histories and yesteryear charm that trump most big chain hostelries. Three visited recently—all more than a century old—are in San Diego’s “garden spot” coastal communities—La Jolla and Coronado. La Jolla’s Grande Colonial Hotel is known for its historic charm, heralded Nine-Ten Restaurant and strategic location. It’s only a few steps from the beach, where guests throw down towels be-tween seals that gather there for daily sunning.

The world-famous Ho-tel Del Coronado Hotel is the second-largest wood-en structure in America and was once the largest resort hotel in the world. We weren’t guests there, but joined other visitors in absolute awe of this “must see” place.

We lodged across the street at Coronado’s Glo-rietta Bay Inn, which originally was the home of then-owner of the Del. The boutique property has a marble staircase, brass amenities and per-haps the most accommo-dating staff ever. Won’t soon forget the tray of cookies and pitcher of milk left in our room for nightly snacks. I heard distant calorie bells faint-ly clanging with each bite. My wife, however, heard the calorie bells more clearly. But hey, I couldn’t let four fresh-baked cook-ies go to waste….

Guilt is one of those emotions that we all share. Oh, I’m not so guilty of something that I’m going to jail or even Hell, but I do regret some things that I’ve done.

The very fact that I feel this guilt probably makes me more human… more understanding of others… and…proud. Oops.

Looking back over time, I feel bad about many things in my childhood. For one, I probably treated my brother badly.

He is two years older. A 3-year-old can really deal misery to a 5-year-old brother.

A neighbor called one time and told on me. She had just witnessed me screaming like I was dy-ing. I wanted him to pull me in the wagon.

My mother had gone out, swatted him, and put me in the wagon. Accord-ing to the neighbor, Bill was nowhere near the wagon when the scream-ing started.

Apparently it was not the first unjustified swat Bill received. Bill, I’m sor-ry.

I loved my Sunday school teacher. She was beauti-ful, tall, well-dressed, and kind. She wore a lovely red hat one Sunday. I wanted her to know that I loved that hat. I wanted my mother to have a hat like

that. Instead of compli-menting her, I told her my mother HAD ONE just like it. She didn’t know I lied, but God did. I was pretty sure… at the age of four that I was going to Hell… maybe even jail. God, I’m still sorry.

I broke Yvonne Davis’s wagon. It was a little wag-on… probably designed for carting around dolls or small puppies.

It was sitting beside the fence and I wanted to look over the fence. I was 6 or 7 by that time. Yvonne was thin and tall. She was the high school band mascot and was practicing on the other side.

I stepped up on that wagon and, before I could get off, the wheel broke off. I knew she wouldn’t let me play with her “real” baton any more if I told her. She might even make a com-ment on my weight or my inability to see over the fence.

Whatever, I just propped that wheel back on the wagon and went home. She had no idea what hap-pened to it. Maybe it was outside the fence because it was already broken.

I’m not sure, but… Yvonne, your wagon broke… sorry.

Older and wiser, I al-ways portrayed myself a pillar of righteousness to my children, but I wasn’t.

I should have made Num-ber One Child construct her own Valentine box in the third grade. She made her own the first two year. They came out looking like recycling projects at the “home.”

I was determined she would win. She took that beautiful red box with the flying hearts on red velour pipe cleaners to school that morning with so much pride, that I didn’t even feel guilty.

Since I made it after she went to bed, she may have thought an angel brought it to her. She won the prize.

I never told the teach-er… and I didn’t feel very guilty about it…. Surely Mrs. Bilby knew. I think she paid me back with the prize. It was a giant refrig-erator box, decorated with valentines. We got to bring it home.

I’ve cheated on diets, on exercise routines, at card games, and on the ques-tion about weight on my driver’s license applica-tion.

I have not cheated on my taxes (much), and I was faithful to my hus-band, my children, and my friends.

In the end… the Big End… I hope that some deep-felt guilt will make up for a boat-load of mis-guided, fool-hearty bad choices. Lord, I hope so.

J.D. “Jakie” Sandefer III, born Dec. 13, 1936, departed this world to be with his Lord and Savior on Tuesday, Jan. 27, 2015.

Jakie grew up in Breck-enridge, where football and oil and gas were a way of life.

Jakie was a standout varsity football player at Breckenridge High, and following high school went to the U n i v e r-sity of O k l a -h o m a , w h e r e he was a starting halfback d u r i n g the 47-g a m e winning s t r e a k , still the l o n g e s t in divi-sion one c o l l e g e f oo tba l l history.

Jakie graduated in 1959 and returned to Brecken-ridge to start his life as an independent oilman and continue a 50-year tradi-tion started by his father, J.D. Sandefer, Jr.

Jakie soon moved to Abilene where he was joined by his lifelong friend Thurmon Andress and they concentrated their oil and gas activities in west and west central Texas.

In 1975, they opened a Houston office and com-

menced their business op-erations in the Gulf Coast.

In 1979, Jakie moved to Houston and was joined by Stephen F. Smith as they formed Sandefer Oil and Gas, Inc.

Through the course of his career, Jakie drilled over 600 wildcat wells in Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana.

During a 10-year span between t h e 1 9 8 0 ’ s and the 1 9 9 0 ’ s , S a n d -efer Oil and Gas, LLC. was one of the most ac-tive inde-pendent operators in the U n i t e d S t a t e s , primarily in the up-per Texas

Gulf Coast, South Louisi-ana and Oklahoma.

Throughout the years, Jakie made many signifi-cant contributions to en-hance academics and ath-letics at OU where he was recognized as a Distin-guished Alumni in 2000.

In 1990, Jakie was se-lected by his peers to be a member of the All-Ameri-can Wildcatters, an honor reserved for those whose “word is their bond.”

He was inducted in the Texas High School Foot-

ball Hall of Fame in 2007 and in the Big Country Athletic Hall of Fame in 2013.

Among Jakie’s honors, he was elected president of Spindletop International, an oilmen’s charity organi-zation for children.

Jakie is survived by his beloved wife, Melissa Lemke Sandefer and is the proud parent of Jeff Sand-efer, Julie Hagey and Lau-rie Sandefer.

He is blessed with seven grandchildren: Zach Hor-vath; Amanda Horvath; Emma Horvath; Grace Horvath; Taite Sandefer; Charlie Sandefer and Sam Sandefer.

A Funeral service will be conducted at 2 p.m. to-day, Jan. 31, at River Oaks Baptist Church, 2300 Wil-lowick Road in Houston.

The family will gather for a private interment service on Sunday, Feb. 1, at the Breckenridge Cem-etery in Breckenridge, where Jakie will be bur-ied next to his father and mother.

In lieu of customary re-membrances, memorial contributions may be di-rected to Sooners Helping Sooners, Inc., a program started by Jakie and oth-ers to help former Univer-sity of Oklahoma football players live more produc-tive and fruitful lives, 2600 Van Buren, Ste. 2600, Norman, OK, 73072 and the Sandefer Oil Museum, P.O.

ObituariesJ.D. “Jakie” Sandefer III

(Continued from Page 1A)heritage it has of having great football teams. We are saddened by the news and our thoughts and prayers go out to the fam-ily.”

Former teammate Jack Parrott recalls Sandefer as a great football player and an even better person.

“Jakie was a really nice person who never had anything bad to say about anyone,” said Parrott. “He was an exceptional player and was probably one of the best players that have come out of Breckenridge.”

Upon graduation at BHS, Sandefer went on to be a football standout at the University of Okla-homa.

Sandefer served as a halfback for the Sooners on Bud Wilkinson’s 1956 national championship team, where he earned varsity letters from 1956-58 during the midst of Oklahoma’s famed 47-game winning streak.

He started in two sea-sons at left halfback for the Sooners, scoring the go-ahead touchdown against Texas in 1957 (he also had an interception in the fourth quarter as OU won 21-7). Sandefer

scored two touchdowns in Oklahoma’s 48-21 victory over Duke in the 1958 Or-ange Bowl.

Among many notable teammates, Sandefer played in the Oklahoma offensive backfield with Clendon Thomas and Tommy McDonald, who are both inductees in the College Football Hall of Fame. However, for many Sooner fans, Sandefer was known best for volunteer-ing to be the road room-mate of Prentice Gautt, a two-time All-Big Eight back, who was the first African-American schol-arship football player at Oklahoma.

His athletic accom-plishments at OU and at BHS ultimately earn him a spot in the Texas High School Football Hall of Fame in 2007 and the Big Country Athletic Hall of Fame in 2013.

Following graduation from Oklahoma, he fol-lowed his father into the oil business and ultimate-ly moving from Breck-enridge to Abilene, then Houston in 1975 where he founded the successful Sandefer Oil & Gas Com-pany.

Before his retirement,

he had become one of the most active independent operators in the industry, having caused over 600 wildcat wells to be drilled in Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana.

In recognition of his business success, he was named to the prestigious All-America Wildcatters Association in 1990 and served as president of Spindletop International, an oilmen’s charity orga-nization for children.

Sandefer also had a love for HSU football.

He helped provide fund-ing to get the HSU football program restarted in 1990 after a 27-year absence.

The Jake Sandefer Athletic Fieldhouse, which was built in 1990, is named in honor of J.D. (Jake) Sandefer, Jakie’s father, who was a four-sport lettermen for the Cowboys. He also helped with the funding for reno-vations in 2006.

Jake’s father was Dr. J.D. (Prexy) Sandefer who served as the president of Simmons College, which became Simmons Univer-sity and finally Hardin-Simmons University dur-ing his presidency from 1909-1940.

Historically Speaking

Their plan was to rob the bank at Round Rock which would finance their proposed escape to Mexico. Bass spent his last $20 gold piece in a saloon in Waco, robbed a farmer of a fresh horse and headed to Belton on the main road.

At Belton, Murphey got loose long enough to send the note to Maj. Jones that Bass and his men were headed to Round Rock to rob the bank there and make their escape south to Mexico. Bass and his gang made the mistake of wait-ing for three or four days after arriving at Round Rock.

Bass was extra cautious and wanted to case the bank carefully there at Round Rock and so they camped outside Round Rock for three or four days before the planned robbery.

This delay gave Maj. Jones and the Texas Rangers an opportunity to get all their men in place set for Bass and his men at Round Rock.

In addition to having his Texas Rang-ers assemble for the pursuit of Bass and his gang, Maj. Jones had stationed four or five units on the capitol grounds in Aus-tin.

They were rotated every four to six weeks and on standby to move at a mo-ments notice in any direction to pursue Bass and his gang. There would be no more embarrassing incidents of them not capturing the Bass gang.

This was all set up while the Bass gang was surreptitiously traveling around by way of Terrel, Kaufman, Ennis, Waco and Georgetown and before anyone knew they planned to go into Round Rock and rob the bank.

When word was finally received from Murphey, at Maj. Jones’ headquarters, he had to send his aide, Corporal Vernon Wilson 65 miles on horseback to Lampa-sas and then catch a stagecoach to San Saba to the camp of Texas Ranger Lt. Reynolds.

Lt. Reynolds selected eight men to leave immediately to travel to Round Rock and organize the lawmen there to be on the alert for the Bass gang.

They assembled two pack mules and a hack for Reynolds who was too ill to ride that arduous a trip.

The men traveled all night, 65 miles by dawn, crossing the San Gabriel River, 15 miles south of Lampasas.

They still had 45 miles to travel to get to Round Rock. The men reached the out-skirts of Round Rock by late in the after-noon of Friday, July 19, 1878.

Meanwhile, Maj. Jones would travel directly to Round Rock by train with ex-Texas Ranger Morris Moore, who was now the Deputy Sheriff of Travis County, and get men there organized for the cap-ture of the Bass gang.

They also arrived Friday afternoon, July 19. Additionally, Texas Ranger Pvts. Chris Ware, Chris Connor and George Harold were already in Round Rock and had their horses hidden out in High-smith’s Livery Stable so that Bass and his men would not spot the mounts and catch wind of the Rangers being on site.

The scene is all set for the supposed bank robbery that was tentatively planned for Saturday, July 20, 1878.

Bass and three of his men, Barnes, Jackson and Murphey, decided to ride into Round Rock Friday evening and scout out the bank one more time and review the get-away route once they robbed the bank the next morning.

Bass and his men tied their horses up in an alley off the main street, close to Copprel’s Store.

Bass decided to stop at the store for some provisions and Murphey said he would stop at the feed store on the way into town to get some corn for the horses since they had run out of it the day before.

Of course, Murphey is hoping every-thing is in place for the Texas Rangers to capture Bass and his men that are ac-companying him that evening Seaborn Barnes and Frank Jackson.

Bass heads for Copprel’s store to pur-chase some provisions and accidently showed his six-shooter as he entered the

store.Sheriff Grimes saw the gun and fol-

lowed Bass into the store, not knowing who he was, and confronted Bass about carrying a gun.

The Sheriff asked, “Do you have a six-shooter hidden on your person?” Bass answered that he did as he drew his gun and shot the sheriff dead on the spot.

Deputy Sheriff Moore had followed Grimes and Bass into the store, as had the two Bass gang members, Barnes and Jackson, to help Bass with any of the pro-visions if he needed it.

Texas Ranger Pvt. Dick Ware was at the barbershop close by and came run-ning. Maj. Jones was strolling up the street from the Telegraph Office and bolt-ed down the street toward the gun fire and entered into the fray with just his small Colt double action pistol.

Pvt. Cris Connor and Pvt. George Har-old also ran forward to help from wher-ever they were when the gunfire began.

Barnes was killed while trying to mount his horse outside the store and Bass was shot two or three times.

Jackson had to hold off the lawmen with one six shooter as he helped Bass on his horse with the other arm and they both managed to gallop away and passed Murphey at the Feed Store.

Despite the initial pursuit, the Rang-ers don’t find Bass and Jackson. At dawn the next morning, Lt. Reynolds and Sgt. Nevill lead a contingent of men in pursuit of Bass and Jackson.

The following day, Bass was captured as he lay under a tree at the Round Rock Cemetery, where he told Jackson to leave him and save himself. Bass was suffering intensely from his wounds from the pre-vious day.

Bass died the following day, July 21, 1878. He was buried in the Round Rock Cemetery. Jackson and the other gang members were not found at that time.

Later, it was discovered that Bass and his gang had more extensive con-tacts with several residents of Stephens Couunty.

One family had prepared a meal for Bass and his men seven miles south of Caddo, which was later to become the Ne-cessity community. Bass gave the wom-an, who had cooked the meal, a $20 gold piece.

There were other sightings and more $20 gold pieces handed out for aid and provisions.

Many settlers in the area have searched all around Lookout Mountain and all along Caddo Creek for the remainder of the gold taken from the train robbery.

It has never been found but could have been buried at another location be-fore Bass and his gang even got to Ste-phens County. The big mystery was never solved.

Dr. John Hall, a well-known local doc-tor in Breckenridge, is believed to have become the owner of one of the Wells Fargo strongboxes that Bass and his men chucked into the stream after dividing up their money out of three strong boxes.

It was known that Bass and his gang absconded with three strong boxes in their last train robbery. There was $20,000 in $20 gold pieces in each of the strong boxes from the train robbery in Big Spring, Neb.

However, that money had long been di-vided by Bass and his earlier gang of men and they split in pairs. The only one who had money from that robbery was Bass.

He was known to carry $5,000 in $20 gold pieces with him but the rest of his share ($5,000 in $20 gold pieces) was most likely buried in Denton County, among the Elm Bottoms, near Denton, before he showed up with this new gang at Caddo. This of course is all supposition since none of that money has ever been found. Bass Hollow, at Possum Kingdom Lake, is named after the famous outlaw.

There was quite a bit more to the story of the capture of Sam Bass and his gang. It was really embarrassing how they had eluded lawmen and, especially, the Texas Rangers.

Following a big win over the Eastland Mavericks, the Buckaroos had a tough task on their plate in hopes of knocking off one of Dis-trict 8-3A’s top teams in Dublin.

The Buckaroos were able to take care of busi-ness when under pressure as they defeated the Lions 49-40, Tuesday evening at the BISD Athletic and Fine Arts Facility.

Even though the Breck-enridge is still not halfway through district play, the impact of Tuesday’s win will shed some light into the district’s playoff pic-ture as the Bucks move into a three-way tie for first place with Dublin, Eastland, who all sit at 2-1 prior to games played on Friday.

In Tuesday’s game against Dublin, the Bucks used the ability to feed the post to their advantage.

Senior post Alfredo Al-varado scored a team-high 15 points and head coach Josh Alcorn commended the team’s ability to get the ball to the post players.

“I thought we played really good team game,” said Alcorn. “I was re-ally pleased with our big men. Our three posts had 25 points combined and a lot of those points were off of assists. So, it was a really good team effort. That makes you proud as a coach.”

Trailing 15-14 after the end of the first quarter, the Buckaroos picked up the defense in the second pe-riod to lead 27-23 at half-time.

“I thought in the second

Second half surge lifts Lady Bucks past Dublin By BRANT THURMONDsports@breckenridgeamerican.com

Tuesday marked the start of the second half of District 8-3A action for the Breckenridge Lady Bucka-roos.

With the start of the Class 3A Girls’ Basketball playoffs still a few weeks away, the hopes of making the playoffs and peaking at the right time is becom-ing a reality for the Lady Bucks.

Breckenridge won its third consecutive game, but most importantly sec-ond straight district game, Tuesday evening as they knocked off the Dublin Lady Lions in convincing fashion 53-35, at the BISD

Athletic and Fine Arts Fa-cility.

After picking up a big win against Eastland, Lady Buckaroo head coach Ky Graham said the team played well Tuesday against Dublin.

“Coming off a big win against Eastland, you are always a little afraid of a let down. I think for most part we executed our of-fense very well,” said Graham. “We didn’t shoot well as we have been, but besides that, it was good game offensively.”

After holding Eastland to just 32 points, the Lady Buckaroo defense allowed just one more point higher than that at 33 points.

Graham said the defen-sive intensity was down a notch compared to the Eastland game, but still played well.

“We probably were not as intense on defense as we had been, which I think was just a slight let down after a big win,” said Gra-ham. “But, all in all, it was good. We did a lot of good things and we are looking forward to the next chal-lenge.”

The Lady Bucks trailed by two points (10-8) at the end of the first quarter, but came back to tie the score on two separate occasions in the second quarter.

Breckenridge held it’s

largest lead of the first half at (19-13) following a 6-0 run midway through the second quarter.

Dublin scored the final points of the first half with 57 seconds remaining, but the Lady Bucks still led 19-15 at halftime.

The Lady Bucks strung together four straight points on two different occasions and were able to build an 11 point cush-ion at 34-23 following two free-throws from Cayli Yarbrough with 1:49 re-maining in the third quar-ter.

Breckenridge went on a 6-0 run in the fourth quar-ter to continue to build their lead and finished the game with a 9-4 scoring advantage.

Carri Yarbrough led the team with 16 points, nine rebounds, three blocks, one steal and one assist, while Alexa Medina added 13 points, five rebounds, one block and one steal.

Kaitlyn Ellis chipped in nine points, 10 rebounds, one steal and one assist. Cayli Yarbrough had six points, five rebounds, one block and one assist.

Madison Hatchett add-ed four points and one steal. Heidi O’Dell had three points, 10 rebounds and two assists. Maci Pat-terson scored two points and had one rebound.

and third quarters, we gave ourselves a great chance to win,” said Alcorn. “We held them to five points in the third quarter. Anytime you can hold a team to under 10 points a quarter, you

are going to give yourself a great chance to win.”

The Bucks held a five point lead (42-37) with 3:05 remaining in the game and added six straight points en route to their largest

lead of the game at 48-37 with 1:40 left.

Anthony Ramirez scored 10 points, while Alain Franco added nine points and DeMarcus Johnson tossed in eight points.

Cam Toombs finished with five points and Ca-son Mayo chipped in two points for the Bucks.

So... What are you hungry for? Many today are busy accumulating as much of this world›s goods as they possibly can. Their driving force is a hunger to become wealthy and self-suf cient. Others, hunger for recognition. Look at me… I have the highest grade point average in my school. I just made a touchdown. I just hit a home run. I just created a masterpiece. Look at me! In what we call “the Beatitudes,” Jesus tells His followers to “…hunger and thirst after righteousness” (Matthew 5:6). His call is for His disciples to crave holiness over happiness. If you crave riches or recognition, you may never receive enough to be satis ed. On the other hand, Jesus promised that those who hunger for God and His righteousness “…will be lled.”

The law covers any potential or actual sale, lease, rental, eviction, price terms, privileges or any service in relation to the sale of or use of housing. The law not only prohibits advertisements which restrict access to housing based on the protected categories, but also prohibits advertisements which indicate a preference for or against a person based on a protected category. In some circumstances, the use of local terminology, symbols or directions to real estate for sale or rent may indicate a discriminatory preference.

The Book of Life (PG)

This animated feature mixes pop culture and Mexican folklore to make an adventure about life, death, love and goofi ness. Manolo (voiced by Diego Luna) is a passionate young guitarist who’s competing with a narcissistic soldier (Channing Tatum) for the love of the fairest -- and toughest -- young lady in town. This love triangle has the attention of the gods of the afterlife, setting up Manolo for an adventure through the worlds of the dead. The mythology of the movie is a lot of fun, especially the colorful and exciting “Land of the Remembered.” Last year was a good year for animated fl icks, and this one ranks among the best in its class.

Art and CraftFor years, the most prolifi c art forger in U.S.

history got hundreds of fakes into museums and collections. His forgeries looked masterful, and he mimicked the works of artists from a

wide array of styles and eras. Most of his art supplies were things you could pick up at Wal-Mart. He lied and schemed to pass off his work as the originals, but he never really made any money doing

it. He wasn’t trying to. This documentary sits down with the unassuming middle-aged man, and puts light on a surprising human story.

The Judge (R)Hank (Robert Downey Jr.) plays a big-city

lawyer who journeys back to his unloved small-town roots for his mother’s funeral. Hank’s father (Robert Duvall) is a judge -- and windbag -- who has ruled his small-town Indi-ana courtroom for decades. Just as the family tension thickens, Judge Father is arrested for a hit-and-run homicide. In his desperate hour,

the high-and-mighty patriarch must rely on his son’s defense.

American Sniper (R)Bradley Cooper & Sienna Miller,, Directed by Clint

Eastwood

American Sniper aims for entertainment as well as something even deeper, and hits its mark. Eastwood and Cooper both bring their A games for this taut, tense, terse drama that depicts Kyle’s trajectory from Texas good ol’ boy to one of the military’s most eff ective killing machines. It also bites down hard on the psychological eff ects of war, violence and combat that linger long after the fi ghting is over.

Cooper is an undeniably versatile actor. But this role is unlike anything he’s ever undertaken, bulking up with 30 pounds of muscle and taking on a vowel-stretching Lone Star drawl to play Kyle. Sienna Miller plays his frustrated wife, Taya, who watches helplessly as her husband wrestles with emotional demons she can’t fathom each time he returns home from a tour. Kyle’s reputation as a deadly marksman makes him feared among the Iraqi opposition—and highly valued as a trophy. Other snipers, including one known as Mustafa, have their sights trained on him. And then there’s a shadowy terrorist henchman, the Butcher, whose torture instrument of choice is a power drill.

Is American Sniper pro-war or antiwar? Is a sniper a hero, or just a soldier doing his lethal job? Where’s the line between civilization and savagery during wartime, and what’s the price of walking it? Eastwood wants viewers to watch, think and decide. Neil Pond

Look for answers in the Classifi eds

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Mixed signals could create problems. Make sure your views are presented clearly, and insist oth-ers do the same. Don’t let an unanswered question go by without a full explanation.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Financial pres-sures ease, allowing for more budget fl ex-ibility. But as the money-wise Bovine will appreciate, thrift still beats out splurging. Expect news from someone special.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Getting things done is what you do so well. But be careful not to overtax your energy reserves. Take time out to relax or to do something diff er-ent to help keep them at optimum levels.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a good time to satisfy the Moon Child’s growing sense of wanderlust. Choose a really special place to go to, with a very special person to share it all with you.LEO (July 23 to August 22) You love being in the spotlight. But be careful it doesn’t blind you to the truth behind a seemingly wonderful opportunity. Look closer and you might be sadly surprised at what you fi nd.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Isn’t it time to take a break from your hectic sched-ule? Sure it is. And the sooner you do, the sooner you can return fresh and more than ready to take on all those new projects.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A re-cent family incident can help bring every-one closer, and there’s no one who’s better at making that happen than you. Accept (indeed, insist on!) help from others to get things off and running.SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Long-held habits are often diffi cult to break. But the change from how you always did things to how you can do them now can be liberat-ing. So, be fl exible and give it a try.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Someone you met in your professional world last year and thought you would never hear from again could make a sudden reappearance in your life, along with an in-teresting job off er.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Once again, you delight everyone by com-ing up with a solution for a problem that actually works. On another note, it’s not too early to get started on those travel plans.AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Be-fore you go ahead with fi nalizing your plans for your new project, check them over to see if you can make some improvements or if you can fi nd ways to cut costs.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) The Fabu-lous Fish might have been out of the social swim for too long, and it’s time you plunge back in. Reinforce your old friendships and be open to starting new ones.BORN THIS WEEK: Your creative talents help bring beauty to the world and the people in it. On their behalf, thank you.
