The Claude Lady

‘Stangs softball team is

ready to kick off a brand

new season! Excitement

is building as this will be

the first year on the new

field at that American

Legion Softball Com-

plex.

Another reason for

excitement is there are

this year there are 16

girls coming out for the

team and 10 of those are

returning players from

last years team. “Having

these returning players is

going to help our experi-

ence level.” Shared se-

cond year coach Hayden

Hook. Hook returns to

coaching the team, this

year with assistant coach

Leslie Burton.

Last year the girls

faced many ups and

downs. Something that

Hook is addressing this

year. “Our motto this

year is "Prevail!" Regard-

less of how the game

goes, regardless on how

life treats you, you must

hold your head up high

and have a positive mind-

set. We must prevail

against all odds!”

The season does not just begin in the Spring.

The girls have been

working hard in the off-

season too. Especially in

the weight room. “We

have to be better, faster,

stronger than our oppo-

nents.” Explains Hook

“This is something that

will continue even during

the season. Our agility,

weight room, and run-

ning workouts will sup-

plement what we are do-

ing out on the softball

field.”

The schedule is a

tough one for the Lady

‘Stangs. 80% of the

schedule is district oppo-

nents. With the experi-

ence of the returning

players and the off sea-

son workouts the Lady

‘Stangs have a great

chance of a strong show-

ing.

With a new field,

returning core players

and strong coaching the

Lady ‘Stangs are some-

thing that you don’t want

to miss. The first home

game is Feb 27th at

4pm. Everyone should

come out and see the

girls play. As Hook put it

“This group of Lady

Stangs has been putting

in the work offseason and

ready to play. It's a new

year and we'll have a new

look and a new venue.

Come on out to support the Lady Stangs.”

Claude’s Field of Dreams

Have you seen the

new softball field? That is

the question that spread-

ing around the city of

Claude. Citizens are talk-

ing, the students are talk-

ing, the parents are talk-

ing, the high school girls

have a new field and it is

wonderful. It was two

years in the making.

Journey back two

years ago and you will

find a group of citizens in

Claude who saw a need.

So instead of talking and

complaining this group

took action. They formed

the Claude Softball Asso-

ciation, now a full fledge

50c3, and set out to do

one thing; build a new

softball complex.

“The association was

formed to help youth soft-

ball with equipment train-

ing and provide a field for

softball players in Claude

since there was only one

little legue field to play

on all softball games were

held there ...from youth ,

highschool and adult

League” stated CSA pres-

ident Devree Gardner.

“Not to mention when the

high school played it was

to small and not a regulat-

ed playing field. So a

group of parents , friends

and community volun-

teers was formed and we

started to think of what

way we could do to help

these players out.”

Gardner serves as the

president with Tessa Mor-

row, vice president. The

rest of the leadership

makes up of secretary

Amy Wilkerson, treasurer

Julie Edwards and voting

members Cynthia Lindley

and Shay Hand. The CSA

meets every Monday and

encourages everyone to

come out and be a part.

The field is ready to

be played on as the girls

will host their first game

February 27th but there is

still a ways to go to com-

plete the American Le-

gion Softball Complex,

named so for the land

donated by the Claude

Legion. Money is still

being raised to complete a

concession stand and

bathrooms. The stand/

restrooms with the next

project to be completed. It

should be noted that all

the work done on the field

was done for free. One

could just noticed the love

the CSA has for project as

you could Jody Edwards,

parent of Lady Stangs

player Jade, out there

working day and night to

make sure the field, fence

and dugouts were ready.

All out of the love for the

students and the commu-

nity of Claude.

You can be involved

as the CSS moves to com-

plete the complex.

Ground has already has

been broken for what will

be a second field. They

CSA is looking to com-

plete their 100 for $100

Our department lost

one of our deputies be-

cause of an injury suf-

fered outside of his job.

Ronnie is no longer a

deputy here in Armstrong

County. We wish him

luck in recuperating and

in future endeavors. We

have hired a new deputy.

His name is David. He

started riding with the

other deputies this past

weekend and will be

ready to head out on his

own on midnights. We

are excited to have him.

If you see him out and

about, say hi.

We are also in the

process of hiring a new

dispatcher. If you would

like to work for the Arm-

strong County Sheriff’s

Office and do not have a

Class B misdemeanor or

above come in and see

one of the staff and pick

up an application. We

are looking for qualified

candidates that have al-

ready received the neces-

sary classes for being a

jailer and dispatcher, but

if the right person applies,

we are willing to train.

As all the citizens

have probably heard, yes

we are down a vehicle.

DPS, Carson County and

Armstrong County were

in a pursuit this past

week. I was not going to

allow the pursuit to enter

Claude. The lives of eve-

ry citizen in this city

would have been in dan-

ger. No, I did not inten-

tionally run into the sus-

pect vehicle. I set up a

roadblock and the suspect

hit my vehicle. My vehi-

cle was not moving at the

time the vehicles made

contact with each other.

The suspects in the vehi-

cle, after driving through

the yards of the Amarillo

College housing area,

were eventually caught

after they wrecked out in

Potter County. Thank

goodness Highland Park

School was not out at that

time.

Everyone have a safe

weekend!

Fleta Barnett Sheriff

I would appreciate your

PD BY JULIE EDWARDS

The Claude News

editor challenged me with

that. I pondered an an-

swer during the 30-

minute morning commute

to downtown Amarillo,

where I work as a parale-

gal at the Underwood

Law Firm.

The gorgeous Golden

Spread sunrise surround-

ed me, cows grazed, a

freight train rolled by,

Canadian geese honked

overhead, and wind tur-

bines cranked out energy.

Jason Aldean’s song

flowed through my mind,

“Feel that freedom on

your face; breathe in all

that open space.”

I thought back on the

3-minute drive that morn-

ing to drop my grandchil-

dren off at school (all 3

schools in one place!),

and last night’s gym full

of cheering Mustang bas-

ketball fans, honoring the

graduating seniors and

their families.

I pictured the excited

kids (of all ages) at the

Gem Theater the night

before, eager to start play

practice and get measured

for Narnia costumes. As I

drove away from the thea-

ter that night, I had

stopped to watch the

lights on the Armstrong

County Courthouse and

around the Square, and

see the progress being

made.

I recollected the hap-

py, welcoming faces at

the First Baptist Church

last Sunday, all singing

traditional, beloved

hymns, and the Methodist

Church’s sign at the edge

of town proclaiming

“Claude and the people in

it belong to Jesus.”

I remembered the

enthusiasm on my hus-

band Shane’s face when

he found us the perfect

house on Alamo Street,

the happiness of being

close to our daughter and

husband, Melissa and

Kirk Anderson, and the

neighbors who welcomed

us by helping set our

mailbox and sharing food

with us. I smiled at the

remembrance of families

riding by in golf carts and

pickups with kids in Hal-

loween costumes excited-

ly running up to our front

door. Caprock Roundup

came to mind, with the

parade and hoopla on the

Square, and the fun of the

rodeo.

I reminisced how

many times I had passed

through Claude, when I

was a newly-wed in Clar-

endon and a high school

student at Hedley, or on

our way to DFW or Hou-

ston. I had always

thought of Claude as the

movie set for HUD. Paul

Newman and Patricia

Neal had walked these

streets—how cool!

So all of these are the

answer—proximity to a

bigger city, wide open

spaces, schools, theater,

church, family, neighbors,

and uniqueness of the

town. I love Claude be-

cause, although it has

challenges and there are

improvements to be

made, it is the quintessen-

tial small Texas town, the

perfect place for us to call

home. It is Claude,

America, and I’m happy

to be here.

campaign where they are

looking for 100 people or

businesses to donate $100

to be part of their found-

ers club. You can also

make a donation for a

“sponsor banner” that will

be hung at the field. If

you are interested then

contact the CSA through

their official Facebook

page or contact Gardner

at 806-231-1316 or Ed-

wards at 806-679-8966.

The complex is not

just benefit the Lady

‘Stangs team but it is for

the whole community.

Speaking with CSA treas-

urer Edwards she stressed

this point. “These are go-

ing to do wonderful things

for Claude. Not only will

the adult softball league

have two fields to play

but it will give us a

chance to host tourna-

ments. Those tournaments

will be bring in so many

people from the panhan-

dle area, which means

more business for

Claude.” Note: The adult

softball league will be

starting soon.

VP Morrow is in

agreement with Edwards

“These fields will create

the opportunity to host

games for all ages, as well

as give one more area for

our community to gather

for fellowship. We also

believe that the fields can

benefit the community by

bringing visitors to town

to play, shop, and eat dur-

ing tournaments.”

As you live in Claude

you always hear people

talking about what needs

to be done or how things

need to change. Rarely

does that talk lead to ac-

tion. The Claude Softball

Association should be

applauded and happily

celebrated for what they

have done for this com-

munity. The Claude News

will be the first in line to

thank them for the work

put in. This is something

that is going be put to use

for years and it is all dues

to a group of citizens who

saw a need and put a plan

into action.

Come out on Friday

March 9th as the CSA

will be having an official

“kick off” of the complex.

There will also be a rib-

bon cutting at this time.

Watch the CSA Facebook

more info. After the fes-

tivities are done stay and

root on the Lady ‘Stangs

as they battle Memphis.

The battle that will take

place on their brand new

The Claude Lady

Mustang basketball team

is in the midst of

playoffs. The girls contin-

ue to grow as the season

progresses. They have

recently played two

games that have shown

how much they’ve im-

proved.

On February 15,

2018, the girls played

Farwell for the Area title.

The game took place at

Canyon, and it was a

great game. The scores

were never too close with

the Lady ‘Stangs estab-

lishing a lead and keeping

it for the entire game. The

final score was a blowout

of 55 points to 37 points.

The girls played on

Monday the 19th at River

Road for the Regionals

Quarter Final title.

Claude played the Vega

Longhorns. The game

was intense and fast

paced. In the first half,

Vega led the Lady Stangs

by a slim margin. By the

half, the Longhorns were

clinging to a mere two

point lead. In the second

half, the Lady Stangs

continued to press the

opposition and traded

leads with the Longhorns.

The offense, which was

dominated by Jenna

Cooper and Allison Giles,

continually brought the

ball to the basket with

mixed results.

With seconds left on

the clock, the team made

their last shot and hoped

to clinch the Mustang

victory. However, when

the buzzer sounded at the

end of four quarters, the

score was tied 37-37, and

the teams headed into

overtime.

Overtime was kind to

the Lady ‘Stangs, who

performed several offen-

sive and defensive plays

to beat down the Long-

horns targeted defense.

The successful three

point execution coupled

with some crucial foul

shots inched Claude

ahead in scoring. The

final game score was for-

ty-six points to forty-one

points in favor of the La-

dy ‘Stangs.

Claude’s leading

scorers against Vega

were Jenna Cooper and

Allison Giles. Cooper

scored twenty-three

points. Allison Giles

scored thirteen points--

three of them coming

from the opening shot in

overtime.

The varsity girls trav-

elled to Levelland, Texas

on Thursday to make

preparations for the Re-

gional Tournament. The

Lady ‘Stangs’ first game

will be tonight (2/23) at

6:30 p.m. in the South

Plains College Texan

Dome. If the ladies win,

they will play again at

3:30 p.m. on Saturday,

February 24th, also at the

Texan Dome. Make sure to come support these

ladies as they attempt to

advance to the State

Tournament in San Anto-

nio.

(StatePoint) A busy

lifestyle and cooler

weather can take a toll on

the body, especially for

those who suffer from

chronic aches and pains.

Whether the cause of

your pain is due to injury,

stress, or poor sleep, there

are many ways to feel

better while avoiding

future pain.

To stay well this sea-

son and naturally manage

muscle pain, consider

these tips from profes-

sional ballroom dancer

Tony Dovolani, who’s no

stranger to the subject of

pain management.

• Stretch. Stretching

is not just for before or

after a workout. Stretch

throughout the day to

keep blood flowing, par-

ticularly if you have a job

that keeps you sedentary.

• Eat right. Your diet

should include lean pro-

tein and healthy carbs.

“And I eat my vegetables,

too!” says Dovolani.

“Mainly spinach, string

beans and broccoli.”

Figure out which

vegetables you like best,

and be sure to incorporate

them into your diet.

• Hydrate, hydrate,

hydrate! Water is neces-

sary for muscle repair.

Drink water throughout

the day and especially

when you’re active.

• Apply heat. Heat is

a timeless remedy, and

it’s clinically proven to

relieve pain associated

with muscle tension and

stress, helping to relax

muscles and improve

blood flow. The increased

blood flow restores oxy-

gen and nutrients to in-

flamed areas to help ac-

celerate healing.

“After every rehears-

al and performance, I use

heat to soothe aches and

pains and improve blood

flow to my neck and

shoulder muscles,” says

Dovolani, whose pain

relief routine includes

using The Sunbeam Re-

nue Neck Wrap. “It’s

great for providing relief

to the back of my head,

neck and shoulders.”

Because it features an

adjustable neck collar

that contours to the shape

of the neck of the user, it

can provide high-level,

concentrated heat for tar-

geted relief.

Don’t let aches and

pains set you back. With

a healthy, active lifestyle

and simple, natural reme-

dies, you can feel your

best.

The Claude Mus-

tangs played their last

game of the year Tues-

day night against the

Memphis Cyclones. Af-

ter a long and gruesome

fight, the Mustangs ulti-

mately fell to the Cy-

clones. They gave every-

thing they had and made

the fans very proud. “I

have been a dedicated

fan this year and have

been to all of the Mus-

tang’s games,” stated

spectator Emmeri Elliot.

“The boy’s fought their

hardest game of the year

and I am proud of their

efforts throughout the

season.”

Mason Smith ended

his season on a high note

scoring twenty-six

points. Senior Ty Ivy

scored eight points for

the Mustangs. Ivy has

been a key player

throughout the year and

proved to be once again

against the Cyclones

with four steals and four

assists. Tristan Sims

ended his season scoring

the Mustangs five points.

They fought long and

hard for the win, but

unfortunately fell short.

The final score was 39-

87.

Although the season

is over for the boys, they

have strong prospects

heading into next year.

Many of the team mem-

bers are also looking

forward to rooting on the

Lady Stangs as they compete in the Regional

Tournament in Level-

land.
