Villanueva is especially glad to have this experience and success with seniors like Heaven McMullen a four-year varsity member who's been through it all with the Mules McMullen said the team's ability to stay loose through everything has been a big piece to how the Mules have been able to succeed this season Agundis — who went 5-for-7 with six RBI at the plate and struck out nine batters in 10-plus innings in the series — said the five seniors on the team have played a big role in getting the Mules to the third round of the playoffs for the first time "it's a big accomplishment to know that we made history in Muleshoe."     Viewing for Mary Alice Carrion Robles will be held from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm on Wednesday A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date   It is with heavy hearts that we announce Mary   Mary dedicated her early years to leadership roles at Taco Villa before devoting herself fully to her greatest joy - her family and her spirit brought joy to everyone she touched Her faith showed brightly in the way she lived - always giving powerful force - the kind that made a house a home her deep well of love will live on in the lives of those she touched She leaves behind a legacy not only in her family but in every heart she blessed with her kindness She is survived by her husband of 46 years and Avianna; and her great-granddaughters Nova and Lana and their spouses and many nieces and nephews we are comforted by the knowledge that she is now at peace watching over us with the same love she so freely gave in life good and faithful servant." - Matthew 25:23 The opening week of UIL high school baseball playoffs is here Here's a look at the schedule and results for teams in the Lubbock area Memorial 3 (Lubbock-Cooper wins series 2-1) Lubbock-Cooper Liberty 3 (Graham wins series 2-1) Bushland 0 (5) (Shallowater wins series 2-0) Game 2: time TBD Friday at Stinnett West Texas Borden County 0 (5) (Nazareth wins series 2-0) As hungry as the 2025 Golden Tornado baseball team has been about getting back to the postseason this determined squad might even be hungrier as it opens up the playoffs this weekend.The only way that appetite will get fed is by getting two wins against the Alpine Bucks this weekend at Pecos.“Right now we feel like we’re due one of those Gold gloves The last time we got one of them was in 2019,” Lamesa Coach Steve Garcia said “It’s time to get another one around here.”The Golden Tors let a golden opportunity slip away at ending that playoff drought ..

WOLFFORTH — Bryan Welps declined a penalty An innocuous moment at any other time of a game Welps' decision with 2:36 left in a Class 3A Division I bi-district playoff game in Peoples Bank Stadium on Thursday proved critical for the Amarillo River Road football team Benito Barrioz's 10-yard touchdown put Lamesa back in front 21-20 the difference being a point-after kick attempt from River Road's Diego Martinez coming up short earlier in the fourth quarter The ensuing kickoff saw River Road with the ball at its 36-yard line but the Golden Tornadoes were called offside on the boot The next try allowed the Wildcats to start the final possession of the game at midfield "That wasn't a small decision," Welps said Facing a fourth-and-10 with eight seconds left Welps didn't hesitate to send Martinez out for the game-winning field goal The sophomore kicker proved his coach's faith didn't go to waste hitting the 39-yarder with three seconds left Lamesa's final play fell well short and the Wildcats walked away 23-21 winners "It was never a thought in my mind," Welps said of Martinez I knew I was gonna kick it from the get-go." Quarterback Alex Warren had three lost fumbles in the first two-and-a-half quarters Warren turned the corner the rest of the way orchestrating three straight touchdown-scoring drives and finishing each with his legs converted a crucial third down on a 24-yard throw to Zantiago Marrufo and shadowed Lamesa receiver Cylius McCurley all game McCurley entered the game second in the South Plains in receiving yards with 1,286 He caught an 11-yard touchdown on Lamesa's opening possession but didn't get another grab until the Golden Tors' final play of the game "Alex is a great football player," Welps said Efrain Ramos took over the Lamesa football program in March inheriting a team that won a combined four games the past two years The Golden Tors matched that number this season en route to the team's first district championship since 2001 Ramos credited the seniors for believing in his vision and the team as a whole for reclaiming the lead when all hope seemed lost It was a bitter end to an otherwise sweet year "The program that we're building right now," Ramos said "is gonna be one that's going to create some consistency LAM — Cylius McCurley 11 pass from Daniel Ramos (Joe Carpenter kick) LAM — Maliki Gutierrez 12 pass from Ramos (Carpenter kick) RR — Alex Warren 1 run (Diego Martinez kick) LAM — Benito Barrioz 10 run (Carpenter kick) RECORDS: Amarillo River Road 5-6; Lamesa 4-7     Services for Patty Browning will be Monday 2025 at the Kurt Pierce Athletic Facility in Lamesa  Visitation and viewing will be at the Lamesa Church of Christ at 11:00 am 11:00 am at Citizen’s Cemetery in Clarendon TX to Harold and Naveta Browning passed away in Lamesa  She leaves behind a legacy defined not only by her accomplishments but also by the profound love she held for her family TX where she earned her high school diploma in 1963  She furthered her education at Lubbock Christian College and Abilene Christian College graduating with a degree in physical education in 1967  Patty spent her first year of teaching in Newark Delaware  She began her teaching and coaching career  They taught and coached together the remainder of their careers until retirement in 2015 Patty continued to work producing the high school yearbook    Patty was a dedicated teacher and coach who enjoyed many accomplishments from the beginning to the end of her career  She was blessed to have four teams reach the state volleyball playoffs with the 1986 team winning the state championship  She achieved a record 900 career wins and along with her twin sister was recognized by the Texas House of Representatives and the Texas Girls Coaches Association in 2015  Patty was also a mentor to some of her former players who earned teaching degrees and became coaches and people who knew her were inspired by the courage and faith she demonstrated on a daily basis Patty never complained or felt pity for herself  She faced every day with a positive attitude and achieved her goals  When someone commented about her adversity “It is what it is,” as she continued to work strong work ethic and sense of humor will be forever missed but her memory will continue to inspire those who knew her    Patty was predeceased by her parents Harold and Naveta Browning  She is survived by her sisters Tippy Browning who shared a special relationship with her aunts Patty and Tippy  Many other nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews are left to cherish her memory    The family would like to thank Hospice of Lubbock and their compassionate care team who attended to Patty and her family during this time Sign the online guestbook at www.robertsonfuneral.com LAMESA — There's a lot to like about the Brownfield boys basketball team 5 in Class 3A by the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches has a quick and athletic group that lives out its "Runnin' Cubs" moniker The well-conditioned bunch wears on opponents with its press and fast hands — leading to lightning-fast offense Zayne McPherson can still see the areas that need improvement results like Tuesday's 81-48 win at Lamesa are great but every game McPherson is looking to get the Cubs more well-rounded The defense-to-offense fast break was clicking but the coach wasn't completely pleased with play in the halfcourt especially in games like tonight where we didn't score the ball very well in the halfcourt," McPherson said we're gonna run into some teams down the line that can handle it a lot better and we're gonna have to learn how to be better in the halfcourt."
