In a community safety is one of the most important things citizens can possess Knowing that the fire depart-ment and police force will always be there ready to serve is crucial for the working and stability of any com-munity city or state Governments and citizens realize that and want to do everything to achieve the high-est level of preparation for anything that would or could go wrong Thatrsquos why in Morganrsquos Point Resort the City of Morganrsquos Point the Morganrsquos Point Ladies Auxiliary Club and the Morganrsquos Point Fire Department have teamed up to give the best equipment to the citizens of Morganrsquos Point that they can affordldquoWersquore having an upgrade in the
Jaws of Life and the materials that the fire department hasrdquo said John Phillips the Fire Chief in Morganrsquos Point ldquoTheyrsquore set to arrive on
December 8th and we are really excited to get themrdquo The Jaws of Life are tools used by
fire departments to help people that are trapped in their cars after a car wreck The Jaws of Life and related materials are very important to any fire department because of the spe-cific purpose that they serve When it comes to car wrecks the damage on the car and the people inside can be very severe and the Jaws of Life help expedite the process of saving someone from the wreckage of a car before it is too lateldquoWhen it comes to other things that
the fire department does there are alternate tools and ways that I can go about accomplishing a taskrdquo said Phillips ldquoWhen it comes to a car the Jaws of Life are pretty much the only way to get someone out of a car after a wreck if theyrsquore trapped The Jaws of Life are designed to cut and

At Saturdayrsquos Celebrate Killeen event a number of Cove motorcyclists along with their cohorts from other central Texas com-munities partnered with the Texas Department of Transportation to raise driv-ersrsquo awareness of motorcy-clists on the roads
One such group the Patriot Guard Riders has about 300000 members nationwide said group member Amanda Ferguson of Killeen
ldquoWe attend the funerals of veterans whenever a family invites usrdquo Ferguson said The Patriot Guard when attending a veteranrsquos funeral
will post a line of American flags at the funeral home and stand in salute in honor of the departed veteran
Theyrsquoll also lead the way to the cemetery Ferguson added
On Saturday however several local members of the Patriot Guard rode in a procession while carrying flags saying ldquoLook Twice for Motorcycles After the procession they pointed people to the TxDOTrsquos booth promoting their May 2015 safety awareness campaign called ldquoShare the Road Look Twice for Motorcyclesrdquo
Another group present Saturday were members of ldquoDo You See Me Nowrdquo a motorcycle safety aware-
ness group founded in 2012 by Covite Terri ldquoPopsiclerdquo Benezet in response to a friendrsquos death in a motor-cycle accident
ldquoOur first year we had 1500 riders participate but that was down to around 1000 in 2013rdquo Benezet said She said the numbers were likely down due to the fact a number of the riders were helping in the relief efforts in the weeks following the West explosion
ldquoWersquore here to help people be more aware of motor-
cycles on the roadrdquo she said ldquoTo get people to get off the cell phones while driving pay attentionrdquo
Benezet along with Robert ldquoToolzrdquo Henry president of the ldquoForgotten Soldiersrdquo club and Rick ldquoNinerdquo Dewees State Coordinator of the ldquo2 Million Bikers to DCrdquo club sat in the parking lot of the Killeen Community Center to promote their cause

For the 2015 TEA evaluated school dis-tricts on seven indicators to earn a total of up to thirty points Belton ISD received a perfect score earning all thirty points
At the direction of the legislature TEA began issuing the FIRST report in 2003 This year a new passfail scoring system replaced an earlier system that rated dis-tricts as attaining ldquosuperior achievementrdquo ldquoabove-standard achievementrdquo ldquostandard achievementrdquo or ldquosubstandard achieve-mentrdquo Belton ISD has received the highest available rating on 12 of the 13 reports that have been issued to date
Since 2010 Belton ISD has refunded bonds six times saving taxpayers a total of $75 million

As Kenny Rogers says ldquoYou got to know when to fold lsquoemrdquo The first time I remember pondering that line occurred on August 19 1986 the day Earl Camp-bell announced his retire-ment from the New Orleans Saints That made a big im-pression on me Until that moment I believed I could become just about anything if I wanted
Realistically I could prob-ably never break through an NFL defensive line but I have a good mind and Irsquom a hard worker Earl Campbell taught me you also need a good sense of timing to keep moving forward in life Irsquove been fortunate to put those qualities to good use first as a res-taurant manager then a teacher fol-lowed by time in a corporate cubicle to now as an education consultant And I suppose you could count my work on this column as a fifth career of sorts
There are plenty of examples of folks who stay and play even though the days at the peak of their games
have long gone by Many times knowing when to move on and do the next thing can be tricky but sometimes it can be quite simple As a restaurant manager at age 29 I saw myself quite clearly in the future -- an overweight di-vorced smoker barking or-ders at the hostess from my perch at the bar It was an easy decision to leave that
behind and change jobs Besides I had always wanted to teach Fortu-nately the classroom provided plenty of challenges ndash likely saving both my mental well-being and physical health from disaster
In many cases former athletes continue to contribute publicly by lending their names to worthy causes as speakers and in assisting with fun-draisers Earl Campbell is a leading
spokesperson for research to help those with multiple sclerosis cancer and brain injuries During a speech in Jackson MS in 2014 Campbell said ldquoWe all go through things in life Itrsquos lsquohowrsquo we go through it that matters Itrsquos family itrsquos friends itrsquos our team that gets us there Itrsquos easy to quit and do nothing I refuse to do nothing I keep working to do the best I can do Some people ask what keeps me going My mother didnrsquot quit when my daddy died as she raised 11 kids Why should I quit The military folks in this room they donrsquot quit Why should werdquo
We are all witnesses to the human drama of aging Former sports greats often struggle to make contribu-tions to their teams and continue to receive their customary accolades I love the San Antonio Spurs because itrsquos the one sports team I know that has consistently favored teamwork The top players have made financial

On Retirement
We are lucky to live in Texas I of-ten get the attitude from people that donrsquot live here that there is something negative about living here in Texas Let me set the record straight I have lived here all my life save the few years the military relocated me so I have a fair idea of what being a Texan is all about There is a lot about this great state or country as some might consider it
Well yes we do have some warm days in sum-mer OK hot days How-ever it is no different than the really cold days our yankee neighbors have in their northern states I donrsquot re-call a time when the sun-plow had to move the sunshine from in front of my house so I could go shopping or get to work I also donrsquot remember ever shoveling summer weather from my sidewalk Now in trade for those warm days we get those perfect days
from about later summer through spring The great days are quite welcome as a break from the winter
weather Besides all buildings and every vehicle has air condi-tioning and now the cars start themselves so it can cool down
Since we are essentially a country all our own we also have our own language We say things that donrsquot make sense if you are not from here There is a wide language barrier between a Texan and Bostonian so much so that it might actually require a translator When we give driv-ing directions it makes sense to
Texans but not so much to ldquoforeign-ersrdquo
We also have some of the best food on the planet There is one food named for the state TexMex Obvi-ously a combination based on the regional foods here I donrsquot know of a place with similarly good food or anything named as such like New-Can for a combination of New York
and Canadian foods It just doesnrsquot have that ldquoringrdquo to it Then we also have BBQ here some of the best in the world perhaps the universe This is such a great style of cooking that they have huge competitions for BBQ You donrsquot see those type of contests for boiled cabbage or brus-sels sprouts And donrsquot forget the sea-food
Another great benefit of our cul-ture here is the clothing style Jeans and boots are acceptable for any oc-casion Pressed jeans are just as fancy as dress pants Slip on a black jacket and you are ready for any event I tend to like vests and those are part of the style heritage here I can wear a nice vest in Texas and no one mis-takes me for a waiter Boots are com-fortable and range from durable to quite fashionable I have a couple of pairs that are so soft that I canrsquot imag-ine anything better on my feet And I also have a pair of ostrich skin boots

Every year I have a huge Thanksgiv-ing meal for my entire family I go all out Every year we eat too much and end up at each otherrsquos throats It is this way every year so I have cancelled Thanksgiving at my house Honestly I am relieved but now the whole family is mad at me and my kids are asking me why I know what Thanksgiving is supposed to be but it never turns out that way for my family so why do we do it
K C
Dear KCDid you know that during the holi-
days more people allegedly commit suicide and there are more domestic violence incidents than any other time
of the year I believe in family tradi-tions as long as they serve the purpose
they were intended for As par-ents we tend to forget that our children are absorbing everything that is going on around them even the things we think we are shielding them from Why do we try to shield our kids from things The easy answer is for their pro-tection but the more truthful an-swer is we donrsquot want to explain awkward or difficult things to them if it makes us or somebody else look bad
One of my most favorite Thanksgivings was a day when I had three of my granddaughters all under the age of 10 with me
My husband had to work and their par-ents out of town The girls set the table and we had a very simple meal The table was decorated with sea shells and river rocks We had a red checkered ta-ble cloth and paper towels for napkins
We ate sausage and rice We all shared what we were thankful for and had the best time
We are too hard on ourselves if we are stressed when we try to measure up to the social standards of what the tradi-tional Thanksgiving should be What is wrong with making your own family traditions My son-in-law loves to go hunting Thanksgiving weekend They have a fabulous meal usually on paper plates Whatrsquos wrong with that
I hope you and your family have your best Thanksgiving ever and make new traditions that you can look forward to and not dread every year Make it whatever you would really like for it to be We live in a wonderful blessed country That in and of itself is reason to be happy on Thanksgiving without all the fuss

Thanksgiving is much more than a big meal with family and friends Itrsquos a time to reflect on and be thankful for all of the good things you have Even with all of the uncertainty and turmoil in the world you have so much to be thank-ful for Itrsquos important to be grateful not just on Thanksgiving but each and every day Rather than la-menting what you feel is lacking in your life begin each new day by develop-ing an attitude of gratitude Take inventory of your blessings and you will be surprised at just how much you have to be thankful for
If you have enough to eat a place to live a way to get around people who care about you or people you care about then you are wealthy If you lack any of these elements you must still be grateful for what you do have while striv-ing to obtain whatever is absent
Focus on all positive as-pects of your life Take nothing for granted Every morning recharge your ap-preciation Be happy for everything there is not upset over what you feel is missing
Dreams of the future shouldnrsquot diminish appre-ciation for the present If all you do is concentrate on
what you want you wonrsquot enjoy today Donrsquot be jeal-ous of others what they do or have has no bearing on you
You can feel bitter or resentful for a variety of reasons Perhaps you feel something is missing from your life things arenrsquot going your way or you have been treated unfairly You may wonder ldquoWhy do these things always happen to merdquo
Lifersquos problems tend to dominate your thoughts turning your focus to what you feel is wrong You may start to resent those who appear to be better off Yoursquore apt to dwell on things you think would make your life better if you had them If only you had more money more time a bigger house a different car a different job a differ-ent boss had picked a dif-ferent career etc
Once your attitude be-comes one of deficiency in-stead of abundance and ap-preciation you can become overwhelmed by feelings of frustration and feel like a victim As this happens a consuming vicious cycle starts
Being bitter or resentful blows situations out of pro-portion People who are

There are certain time honoured phrases that are trite and worn out Most of us donrsquot like to hear them but they keep around because they are still very true The great-est of these trite but true statements to me is this ldquoJesus is the answerrdquo I remember as a kid people would say that and I could find no direct nor indirect way that Jesus was connected to my day to day issues When I was younger it was mainly with relationship and work issues By work I mean school work but work translates fairly well across our age groups I had real issues fitting in in middle school I didnrsquot fit neatly into the defined groups at school but fell a bit between the cracks And someone would say as I didnrsquot fit in ldquoJesus is the answerrdquo Really Was Jesus going to make me
popular (this is what I thought I wanted) Was Jesus going to take up pen and paper and do well on my tests for me
My issue or problem was that if Jesus is the an-swer perhaps I was ask-ing the wrong questions What questions we ask is a very important matter
you see I was al-ways before look-ing for Jesus to be like a lucky rabbits foot or perhaps a genie in a bottle When I needed help that suited my needs I would call and like a cosmic butler I expected Him to appear grant my wishes and then go away
My questions for Jesus were all about me But I have come to understand that the issue might be my questions
Jesus is almighty God existing from all eternity and all things that have been made were

How Can the Fedrsquos Actions Affect You
Scot HrbacekFinancial Advisor3011 N Main Ste CBelton TX 76513(254) 933-7680scothrbacekedwardjonescomMember SIPC
The Federal Reserve may soon raise short-term interest rates What would a rate hike mean to you as an individual investor
For one thing if you own bonds be aware that their price could fall ndash bond prices typically move in the opposite direction of interest rates Longer-term bonds may see more drastic price drops so make sure these bonds donrsquot make up too large a percentage of your fixed-income portfolio
You could also build a bond ladder consisting of short- and long-term bonds and other fixed-rate vehicles such as certificates of deposit When interest rates rise as may be the case soon you can reinvest your maturing short-term bonds and CDs at the higher rates And when market rates are low yoursquoll still have your longer-term bonds which usually pay higher rates working for you Make sure the bonds or CDs in your ladder are consistent with your investment objectives
Concentrate on those things you can control such as building a diversified portfolio that reflects your goals risk tolerance and time horizon This type of focus can help you ndash no matter where interest rates are headed

about this purchase is the three-way split between the three organizations A pur-chase of this magnitude has never taken place this way before and thanks to the com-bined effort of these Ladies Auxiliary Club the City of Morganrsquos Point and the MPFD this purchase of these materials will be quick and economically efficient for all three organizations involvedldquoThe Morganrsquos Point Ladies

Now these are the Texanrsquos versions of Gucci loafers
I know that some people like living in large cities for the cultural and social bene-fits I can see that but some-times you need open spaces I have on a few occasions been out under the open sky and seen the Milky Way in such a bright and fantastic way that it was beyond de-scription Not just seeing it in a dark sky but seeing the fullness from one horizon to the other There is no way to take in that view from the middle of a city Actually there are not many places dark enough at night and flat enough to let the full-ness of all the stars to shine through
We have great scenery as well We go from beaches on the ocean to forests to even mountains Granted the mountains arenrsquot really the snowy peaks like the Rock-ies We do get snow and if you wanted to cross coun-try ski you could travel for many miles in west Texas on a snowy day without going up or down a hill
Living in a place like Bel-ton can be unique There are few places in the world where people are as friendly as Texas and most of the south Being in a small town seems to help people be neighborly as well Perhaps it is seeing the same people a lot or knowing that we all share a nice town along the creek We speak and hold doors open and just enjoy the benefits of being Texans We can follow our noses to some great food travel a few miles to the beach get lost in the forest or when you really need to let go just step outside on a clear night and look at all the stars in the sky That is one way to clear your head another way is a good full plate of Tex-Mex

By Caleb MynattThe Belton Journal
A well-loved and popu-lar eating establishment in Belton is undergoing a major renovation Clem Mikeskarsquos Barbeque one of the most well-known res-taurants in the community as well as a heir to one of the best known names in the Texas barbeque world is undergoing an expansion to their building to fit the needs of the consumers Clem Mikeskarsquos is one of the most attended restaurants in Belton and is becoming bigger and better than it is already
ldquoClem Mikeskarsquos has been in Belton for about 10 years nowrdquo said Anna Mikeska Payne ldquoWersquove received requests for a bigger build-ing because wersquove grown so much we are running out of tables to seat everybody Clem Mikeskas is expanding as a response to customer demandrdquo
Clem Mikeskarsquos has always been a great venue as a social gathering place as well as a family establishment Clem
Mikeskarsquos has been a won-derful place to make a new friend and have a sit down dinner with your family As a result of the expansion Clem Mikeskarsquos is only going to become a better place to enjoy a meal with friends and family
ldquoWe want to make Clem Mikeskarsquos a great family establishment We want it to be a place where you can meet new people and enjoy the food and the funrdquo said Mikeska Payne ldquoAs a part of the expansion we are going to be adding a bar that will be serving draft beers only as well as some wine We will be adding new tables and chairs but we will also add nine new TVrsquos We want Clem Mikeskarsquos to be a place people can come and enjoy a football game or basketball game and have a good beer as well as come after a foot-ball or basketball or baseball gamerdquo
As for Clem Mikeskarsquos famous finger-lickinrsquo food options it too is going to undergo change

Clem Mikeskarsquos has been one of the most popular res-taurants in Belton for many years now Though many new people have moved to Belton and Temple over the past decade the love for Clem Mikeskarsquos Barbeque has lasted throughout the years The expansion of Clem Mikeskarsquos is an excit-ing thing for the Belton and Temple community as it will become better at what it already does provide wonderful food and a great atmosphere for the citizens and families of Belton and Temple Texas

bitter frequently find that their situations deteriorate and their mental and physi-cal health decays
Itrsquos difficult if not impos-sible to achieve your goals while you are bitter or re-sentful Regardless of what challenges might befall you bitterness makes finding so-lutions much more elusive
There is no point to feel-ing bitter since it accom-plishes nothing harms you and makes things worse Filling yourself with grati-tude on a daily basis makes you feel good while driving out negative feelings
Begin your practice of gratitude each morning as soon as you wake Every day is a great day If you have any doubts try miss-ing one Take inventory of everything no matter how small or seemingly insignif-icant that is good in your
lifeIf it helps make a writ-
ten list of all things you are grateful for Read your list every day As you do this you will build and reinforce your attitude of gratitude Donrsquot waste any time with what you feel you donrsquot have
Keep things in perspec-tive Consider all the peo-ple who have overcome difficulties far worse than yours Donrsquot be consumed by your problems there is always a solution Main-taining an attitude of grati-tude allows your mind to devise a resolution for your circumstances
Make everyday a day of Thanksgiving and you will be amazed how much better your life will become

mation on the districtrsquos budget bonds and tax rates The webpage has been awarded the Texas Comptrollerrsquos Platinum Leadership Circle award two years in a row
Pittenger also high-lighted the money saved by refunding the districtrsquos bonds at lower interest rates Since 2010 Belton ISD has refunded bonds six times saving taxpayers a total of $75 million

Santa Pal Blue Santa returns to Morganrsquos Point Resort
By David TumaThe Belton Journal
Tim Bower found his love after football Some football players go back to coaching or into business of some sort The discipline of the sport pays off in the business world for many young men in Texas Many businesses in Belton to this day are run by ex-football players the same is true for Temple or most towns that have a football team
Bower more than likely is going to spend the rest of his life working on a ranch of some sort That is really what he would like to do This past summer he worked at the Philmont Scout Ranch taking scouts on trail rides Tim is an Eagle Scout and has been to the ranch several times while in the scouts
The Philmont is near Cimarron New Mexico just east of Taos Bower worked with young scouts on two hour trail rides daily Bad weather conditions tend to slow things down or have the ride can-celed
ldquoThere were kids from the big
cities that were scared to death of the horse at first Some of them had never seen a horse in person They picked it up real quick After two hours on that first ride the inside of the knees got real sorerdquo said Bower
There is a difference between hik-ing in the mountains and riding a horse Walking in the mountains you have to spend a lot of time watching your feet You are either going up or down and usually there is a drop off Some kids have been near a horse some havenrsquot There is more to a trail ride with kids than
what you would think Both horse and rider need to be compatible
Bower and the other trail boss-es would start saddling the 18-25 horses at 5 am The ride would start at 8 am They gave a demon-stration of what to do
ldquoWe tried to assign the kids a horse that was a match to the personality of both You walk the horse around
with the kid on board Then you adjust the stirups and the cinch When you ride you see so much more of the beauty of the moun-tains We had kids from Chicago that had never seen a horse before There are four different camps that offer ridesrdquo said Bower
There were two wranglers for every 15 riders Bower also got to go on several 5-day rides one of the camps offer Each night they camped in the mountains From listening to Bower it was hard to tell who had more fun the scouts or him
The ranch he worked on is a huge place totaling over 127000 acres and 214 square miles Craig Bower took Tim his son to the camp twice in 2006 and 2008
ldquoI told my dad I wanted to work on the ranch I donrsquot remember that but he did I wake up to a beautiful sunrise and elk It gets cold here but being from Texas makes it hard to judge what is cold We worked with a girl from Chicago and she said it was okay I still think it was cold My favorite memories are from this ranch I did get to scout from some Elk right before I left Being 30-yards from a bull elk is awesomerdquo said Bower
He broke two smart phones early in his work on the ranch He switched to flip phones ldquoYou donrsquot need all that fancy Facebook stuff up thererdquo said Bower He plans to go back again and again he intends to do some hunting with his family
He has also won a buckle at a rodeo held at a local town near the ranch During one of the competi-tions he thought he cracked a rib Tim won the buckle after a quick call to his father to make sure it was a broken rib It was the final event he participated in

Is your charity effectiveSpecial to the Journal
Donors give to charity throughout the year but the charity watchdog group Charity Navigator reports that around 40 percent of donors make their annual contributions between Thanksgiving and New Yearrsquos Day No matter when one gives the decision to support a charity should never be made lightly Some people choose to donate to charities that focus on causes that resonate with them Emotional feelings can drive donation deci-sions but itrsquos important to do some research into the charitable organization to determine how ef-ficiently the charity operates and how effective the organization ultimately is at fulfilling its mission Look at how much of your money actually goes to-ward the cause you are supporting paying atten-tion to how the organization allocates donations The majority of donation dollars should go to the cause and not toward organizational overhead Here are some questions to ask before selecting a charity
middot Does the charity address the most serious problems in the most cost-effective ways
middot How much money is devoted to overhead ver-sus program outreach
middot Are the charityrsquos interventions really workingmiddot Will this charity help the greatest number of
people with your donationmiddot Is the organization honest and transparentIndividuals can make use of resources made
available by the Better Business Bureau Charity Navigator and GiveWell to see if charities meet their criteria

The Body of Christ Community Clinic has joined in a growing international movement called GivingTuesday This is a desig-nated day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individu-als communities and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity worldwide The day itself falls on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving each year meaning the actual GivingTuesday for 2015 falls on December 1
The Body of Christ Clinic is part-nering with several local businesses and organizations to celebrate gen-erosity and promote giving on three separate TuesdaysmdashNovember 17th and 24th and December 1st (the global GivingTuesday date)
On November 17th our partner
Grand Avenue Theater in Belton will be offering $5 movies all day and a percentage of all their con-cession sales will be donated to the Clinic
On that same day the University of Mary Hardin Baylor will kick off a GivingThanks initiative in con-junction with our GivingTuesday effort Students will be able to write something for which they are grateful on a large poster and take a photograph of themselves with the poster They will also be encour-aged to make a donation to the Clinic and take another selfie this time called an ldquounselfierdquo as they make a charitable contribution
The Body of Christ Community Clinic is a team of local volun-teers committed to carrying out the compassionate healing ministry of Christ by providing personalized quality health services to the medi-cally underserved in the greater Belton and Salado ISD areas Our Vision is to be recognized as a Christ-Centered healthcare pro-vider enabling all in our commu-nity to achieve healthy living in mind body and spirit There is a great need for health services in
our community as poverty levels and uninsured rates are both high especially among minority popula-tions
Over 100 volunteers staff the Clinic rotating their services to cover the hours of operation These include doctors dentists nurses physician assistants dental assistants hygienists social work-ers and clerical techs The only paid positions are those of a full time Executive Director a part- time nurse practitioner (5hrs) a week and patient scheduler (3hrs) The Clinic is a 501 (c) (3) not for profit organization and finan-cial support for the Clinic comes from area churches and individual donors The Clinic receives no fed-eral or state funding The Clinic has been in operation for five years All the volunteers at the Clinic are men and women dedicated to expressing love and compassion to those without access to medical and dental care

It was a crazy opening night to the 2015 Texas UIL Class 6A-Region I Bi-District Playoffs at Homer B Johnson Stadium in Garland Friday night as the Belton Tigers traveled to take on the Rowlett Eagles
From the opening kick-off to the final whistle the game was track meet of epic proportions In the end the Tigers were unable to stop the Eagles
late and were stopped on a last-ditch effort inside the final minute Rowlett advanced to the area round against Dallas Skyline with a 65-64 win over Belton
The Tigers ended their season 5-6
Belton took the open-ing kickoff and performed some trickeration as Davion Peoples pitched the ball to Olajuwon Taylor after receiving the ball Taylor went 40 yards to start the Tigers on their own 40-yard line Peoples
ran the first play from scrimmage for 15 yards and the third play for 17 yards The plays set up a field goal of 37 yards from Roberto Barrios to give the Tigers a 3-0 lead with 1006 to play in the first quarter
Rowlett answered the score with a touch-down of 26 yards from Logan Bonner to LaDarius Pickens Alvin Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 7-3 lead with 722 to play in the opening stanza
Carlton Shanks III took a pooch kick by the Eagles 57 yards to the Rowlett 8 to set up Peoplesrsquo eight-yard run on the next play A bad snap caused holder Anthony Mirabel to pull in the ball and break for the right pylon Mirabel appeared to have made it to the inside of the pylon by the replay but the ref-eree claimed he went out of bounds and called the conversion attempt no good Belton led 9-7 lead with 702 to go in the first quarter
One of the Rowlett returners was rocked by a hit and fumbled but one of the Eagles recovered the ball on the Rowlett 33 Bonner connected with Quinton Stinson for a 63-yard pass comple-tion down to the Belton 2 Bonner snuck the ball into the end zone on the next play Chris Luplowrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 14-9 lead with 641 to go in the quarter
Belton took the next possession down to the Rowlett 45 but turned
the ball over on downs when Peoples was stopped at the Rowlett 44 on fourth down and three The Eagles took the ball and drove it down to the Belton 7 Great defen-sive plays by Garrison Vaughn Bryan Thomas and John Harvey kept the ball out of the end zone forcing the Eagles to settle for a Kenworthy 23-yard field goal Rowlett led 17-9 with 227 left in the first period

Belton took the ball at their own 36-yard line and tried to answer the score On third down and five on the Belton 46 Mansell threw an incompletion to Taylor However five yards in front of Taylor Logan Collins was grabbed by Jakel Davis and was held trying to come back for the ball The officials did not deem it a penalty and Belton was forced to punt
Kobe Morrowrsquos 51-yard run set up Rowlettrsquos next score Bonner had 13 yards of completions and Morrowrsquos plunge in from a yard out put six more points up for the Eagles
Luplowrsquos extra-point made the score 37-23 with 42 seconds to go in the half
Belton unfazed from the drive got a bril-liant pass completion from Mansell to Collins that was tipped for a 46-yard completion to the Rowlett 16 After a Belton timeout the Tigers continued to drive the ball down to the goal line With one second remaining in the half Mansell found Taylor for a 3-yard touchdown pass Barriosrsquo extra-point made the score 37-30 at halftime
Belton got a defen-sive stand to start the third quarter as Shanks Vaughn and Chris Jones made three stops in a row on Bonner and forced Rowlett to punt
The Tigers got the ball at midfield to start their first second-half posses-sion Mansellrsquos 30-yard run set the table for his own 1-yard touchdown run to cap off the 8-play 50-yard drive Barriosrsquo extra-point tied the score at 37-37
On the next play from scrimmage Morrow took a delayed hand off waited for a hole to open burst through it and dashed 74 yards for a Rowlett score Luplowrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 44-37 lead with 813 to
go in the third quarterAnother good return
by Shanks gave the Tigers good starting field position this time on the Belton 40 Mansell dissected the Rowlett secondary with passes to Mirabel and Taylor for 27 combined yards Mansellrsquos strike to Taylor from six yards away and Barriosrsquo extra-point tied the score at 44-44 with 510 to go in the third quarter On the point-after Rowlett was flagged for an unsportsmanlike conduct foul moving the Tigers up to mid-field to kick off Belton
recovered the onside kick at the Rowlett 33 and started back to workFollowing a three-yard pass from Mansell to Bubba Marshall Peoples burst around end and raced 30 yards to give the Tigers the lead 50-44 Barriosrsquo extra-point try sailed wide left keeping the Tigers in the lead by six
Bonnerrsquos pass to Lewis for 10 yards set up a 53-yard option pitch run by Morrow down to the Belton 3 Kofi McDonald and Brandon Gangloff made huge stops to force third down Morrow pounded the ball into the end zone and Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave the Eagles a one-point lead with 129 to
play in the third quarter 51-50
After a short kickoff by Rowlett Demeatric Brandon busted off a 49-yard run down the sidelines to the Rowlett 15 Peoplesrsquo ran the ball in for a touchdown on the next play to give Belton to lead once again The Tigers lined up for a two-point conversion and Rowlett called time-out right before the play Belton trotted the point-after team back on and tried for an extra point which sailed wide right The Tigers led 56-51 with 56 seconds left in
the third quarterAfter a great special
teams play by Harvey the Eagles started their next drive at their own 28-yard line Rowlett drove the ball down to the Belton 41 and were forced into a fourth and two situation Bonner dropped back to pass and Vaughn stepped in front of the receiver at the Belton 2 and intercepted the ball with 950 left on the fourth quarter clock
Peoples always up for big-game plays busted off one of the biggest runs in recent Tiger his-tory He took the hand off Mansell made three jukes broke into the open and raced 98 yards for an electrifying Tiger score The two-point
conversion was good and the Tiger fans cheered on the effort as Belton led by 13 points 64-51 with 933 to play
Rowlett answered the call again putting together a 64-yard drive capped by a 24-yard pass from Bonner to Morrow Luplowrsquos extra-point made the score 64-58 with 714 to go
Belton got the ball back at their own 18-yard line and ended up in a third and six situation at their own 22-yard line Mansell scrambled towards the Rowlett sidelines looking for an open man He ended up out of bounds on a hard hit and was down for a couple of moments Belton had to send out backup punter Lutz to kick the ball away on fourth down The ball went off the side of his foot and Rowlett ended up with great field posi-tion at the Belton 41
Shanks and Jones made two good defensive stops on the first two plays of Rowlettrsquos next drive Bonner found Dickens for a 11-yard comple-tion for a first down and put the Eagles in striking distance again On third down and two on the Belton 8 Bonner scrambled around the right side and got the benefit of a hold from Rowlettrsquos right tackle in front of the referee as he went in for the score Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett the lead 65-64 with 233 to play in the game
Belton started to move the ball down the field on their final drive Peoples had two rushes for eight yards and Brandon bust-ed off a 12-yard run On second down and 10 at the Rowlett 30 the Tigers drew a critical holding call which set them back 10 yards On the next play Mansell threw the ball towards Taylor who was being held for 10 yards by the jersey by the safety The pass was incomplete and no call was made On third down and 20 at the Rowlett 40 Mansell
found Taylor open for a split second over the middle and threw a pass high towards him Taylor was grabbed as he attempted to make the catch and could not make the catch The back judge deemed the ball uncatch-able though Taylorrsquos fingertips appeared to touch the ball On fourth down Mansell scram-bled to find to open man and ran across the field and let a pass go that was short of the target The Tigers had to turn it over on downs with 43 seconds left Rowlett knelt the ball twice and ended the Tigersrsquo season in heartbreaking fashion
It was a bittersweet pill for the Tigers to take as they were turnover-free in the game and had a 13-point lead with 933 to play
ldquoIrsquom proud of the teamrdquo Belton head coach Bob Shipley said ldquoThey just fought and fought the entire game Either team deserved to win Both teams deserved to win Only one could win Yoursquore up 64-51 in the fourth quarter and we just had a tough time stopped them all night They had a really good scheme and really good offense We made some good stops and made the onside kick We were going to run the onside kick whether we got that 15-yard penalty or not There are a lot of situ-ations during the game that could have been the difference in the game The situation I was most disappointed in was that we couldnrsquot get a first down after they scored (with Belton leading 64-58) We shanked the punt and they scored We couldnrsquot get it donerdquo
Despite coming up a point short at the end Shipley was proud of the Tigersrsquo efforts
ldquoI really wanted them to hold up the gold foot-ball and win for our seniors a championship of some sortrdquo Shipley said ldquoBut it didnrsquot hap-pen I know that they laid the foundation to build on for next yearrdquo

Tigers Football sub-varsity teams successful in 2015
LOICONTINUED FROM C1
By Tony AdamsSports Editor
Much in the way of the past two seasons the Belton Tigersrsquo sub-varsity experienced great success in the 2015 season
The five sub-varsity teams went a combined 34-10-1 outscoring teams 1178-541
Thatrsquos an average score of 26-12 A two-touch-down differential com-bined up and down the ranks is an impressive one
The crown jewel in the season was the Belton JV Red team finishing with a perfect 10-0 record Outscoring teams 389-88 the nearest team came to within just 16 points of the Tigers
ldquoThis was a real-ly good group to work withrdquo Belton coach Mike Morgan said ldquoOne of the big selling points to the kids was that they had a tremendous opportunity to go out and compete each week As the season progressed and the team kept winning we talked about the opportunity to be perfect as a team There is never a perfect
play in a game and never a perfect game it is not possible But a team has the opportunity to have a perfect season and that is what the JV Red was able to accomplish They are a very unselfish group of players and they bought in that if they played extremely hard and did their job then they would have a great chance to be successfulrdquo
The Belton JV White team finished 6-2 against tough competition as well outscoring the oppo-sition 181-112 Though games against Stony Point (weather) and Ellison (JV teams merged) were cancelled coach Jason Moffett and his staff worked hard with their players to guide them towards success
ldquoWe try to find ways to really make the White Team importantrdquo Moffett said ldquoWe try not to allow our guys to think of themselves as ldquoBrdquo Team players We want to win ball games and be district champs no matter what the level We spend a lot of time coaching these guys I think a lot more than some other teams in
our area I saw improve-ment defensively over the course of the year in terms of alignment assignment and tacklingrdquo
The Belton Freshman Red team finished 7-3 outscoring opponents 273-146 A few of the freshmen were called up to junior varsity through-out the season
ldquoFreshmen improved from the start of camp all the way until the last game of the yearrdquo Belton coach Al Maxwell said ldquoThe improvement was most evident in the physi-cal condition and most importantly the mental toughness of the team as a wholerdquo
The Freshman White team was two points from a perfect season in their own rights (a late-season loss to Midway 29-27) having gone 9-1 in 2015 outscoring opponents 269-94
The Freshman Gray team played just a 7-game schedule and finished 2-4-1 having been out-scored 101-66 Most of the players were brought up to Freshman Red and Freshman White at the completion of the sched-
uleldquoThe guys achieved
good things this foot-ball season by winning 18 games and compet-ing with three teamsrdquo Maxwell said ldquoThe guysrsquo mental toughness was on display each game and showed when games became tough and crowds were hostile The guys did very this season and will look to win a district championship next sea-sonrdquo
The key to the success of the Tigers sub-varsity programs is the work that the players put in and the coaching staff and how they coach It is a uni-formed system up and down the ranks
ldquoWe spend a lot of time as coaches with our sub-varsity teamsrdquo Belton head football coach Bob Shipley said ldquoI canrsquot imagine any sub-varsi-ty teams in our district who get more individual coaching from varsity coaches than our kids do The JV kids have to be scout team players of course but we spend a lot of time with them out-side of varsity practice They are well-prepared
every week If you want to change a culture and have kids expecting to win you have to invest a lot of time in them before they are varsity players Our kids are learning how to win for sure Irsquove had kids tell me several times that they never won more than a game or two in middle school and they love win-ning in high school That lets us know that itrsquos all worth itrdquo
The talent is so abun-dant in the Belton sub-varsity system that the varsity team is able to bring up players to add to their depth and keep the junior varsity and fresh-man teams very competi-tive Although there are too many potential names to name players to watch in particular over the next season or two or three Shipley believes that the
10th grade season for a football player is one of the most critical seasons
ldquoThere are several JV players we expect to start for us next yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoIt should be that way every year We only had 2 sophomore players on varsity the majority of the season I think 10th grade is a critical time for players They need to be playing as much as pos-sible If theyrsquore going to be on varsity as sophomores they need to be starting because theyrsquore not get-ting any better standing on the sidelines They need to be getting every snap on Thursday nights so they can continue to develop as players and improverdquo
Congratulations to all five teams on a successful 2015 season

By Tony AdamsSports Editor
Last Friday nightrsquos bi-dis-trict playoff game between the Belton Tigers and the Rowlett Eagles was loaded with ups and downs There were so many great perfor-mances including Davion Peoples scoring rushing touchdowns on three con-secutive scores including his school record-breaking 98-yard run on his way to a 200-plus yard rushing night and Peyton Mansellrsquos ability to navigate the Tigers up and down the field
ldquoObviously we did some good things offensivelyrdquo Belton head coach Bob Shipley said ldquoWe didnrsquot turn the ball over which we knew would be key The offensive line did a good job most of the night and of course we had some receivers come up with some big plays I thought Peyton (Mansell) played really well especially for his first playoff gamerdquo
ldquoOffensively our kids did a great job execut-ing the game plan we preached all week that we couldnrsquot have that lull on offense that we have had from time to timerdquo Belton offensive coordinator Sam Skidmore said ldquoThe offen-sive line controlled the line of scrimmage DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) did a great job seeing the holes running well and blocking Peyton did it through the air and on the ground and really stepped up and led the entire receiving corps did a great job I think almost everyone had a catch and did a great job blocking as wellrdquo
As heartbreaking as the
loss was it was the high mark for points scored in a game this season and set a school record for points in a season with 452 There was absolutely no quit in the 48 minutes
ldquoDefensively it was just a long nightrdquo Shipley said ldquoWe made a couple of stops but didnrsquot in the fourth quarter when we had too They were very athletic and had a great quarterback I thought our kids fought so hard and Irsquom proud of them for that My only disappointment offensively were penalties that hurt our field position and the inability to get first downs when we had the lead in the fourth quarterrdquo
ldquoVery impressed with the resiliency our kids showedrdquo Belton special teams coach Mike Morgan said ldquoIt was a very emotional game and our kids kept responding over and over againrdquo
Ramonce Taylor was on the sidelines for the last couple of games and has been very encouraging towards the team He was so happy for Peoples when he broke his school record for the longest run
ldquoRamonce has been to several games this yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoItrsquos always great to see him and have him giving our kids point-ers I donrsquot think anyone would argue that he has to be one of the greatest athletes to ever represent Belton High School Hersquos back in school and wants to be a coach After seeing the way our kids respond to him I think hersquod be a great onerdquo
ldquoWe were very glad to have Ramonce on the side-linerdquo Skidmore said ldquoThe kids can relate and he was encouraging the kids being
involved and I know our kids enjoyed him being aroundrdquo
When discussing with the coaches the bi-district playoff game outcomes the 10-7 Shoemaker win over Sachse was a surprise to many in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex But to the Belton staff it wasnrsquot
ldquoI knew Shoemaker had a good defense but I was a little surprised by the scorerdquo Shipley said ldquoSachse has playmakers all over the field I think it shows people that our district can compete with any district in the state Every school has a great coaching staff Irsquove been very impressed with the coaches in our district and of course the athletes we see week in and week out are amazingrdquo
ldquoNo I expected Shoemaker to give them fits the match up of Kendall Jones on Sachsersquos center was going play big in favor of Shoemakerrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAlso Shoemakerrsquos overall defensive speed and tenacity gave Sachse fits I donrsquot know for sure but Irsquom assuming Shoemakerrsquos defensive line and front seven was disruptive all night against Sachsersquos offensive linerdquo
ldquoShoemaker was not a surprise at allrdquo Morgan said ldquoHolding Sachse to zero offensive touchdowns was quite an accomplish-ment But the unit that Shoemaker is able to put on the field defensively will probably not be appreci-ated until all of those guys have graduated Midway performed about like I thought they would Aside from the early season loss-es they have been a very good team the last eight weeksrdquo
The Tigers had a great season despite a 5-6 record There were highlights and lowlights as every season has
ldquoThe two games at Killeen were exciting but I think the way our kids came out and played against Hendrickson and Stony Point was a highlight for the regular seasonrdquo Shipley said ldquoThose teams beat us badly last year and our kids showed that we are a different team this year I was also proud of the way we came out against Midway as well It was a far cry from last year when we were never in the gamerdquo
ldquoI thought our offense made great strides this yearrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAt times we were very explo-sive and put up good num-bers The offensive line played well all year Shack was a great leader and it was awesome to see the prog-ress of Jerrod (Jackson) Javon (Chambers) (Jacob) Dumas and Caleb Smith Jaylin Bryant You couldnrsquot have asked for a better 1-2 punch than DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) Those two had great seasons Peyton (Mansell) got better every game he was a real leader and battled every game The leadership and tenac-ity to win he showed was impressive The receiv-ers got better all year and Olajuwon (Taylor) step-ping up and making plays all year long was hugerdquo
ldquoThe 2015 Tigers were a great bunch to coachrdquo Morgan said ldquoThere were times we had it rolling in all three phases of the game and times when we were one or two first downs or one or two stops away from breaking close games
open With all of the offen-sive skill kids who had to be replaced from 2014 I was very proud of the way new guys developed and became such weapons offensively It all started and ended with the out-standing play of our offen-sive line and tight end I thought Zach Shackelford lead that group to being very good and new coach Jacob Hunter did an out-standing job as well Most disappointing was the early season struggles of our punt team and the impact it had on our Hendrickson Stony Point and Copperas Cove losses Kickers Roberto Barrios and Ryan Smith were very effective and improved dramatically from seasonrsquos start to endrdquo
Belton led in every game this season and five of the six losses came within the final minute (a total of 16 points in those five games) Things happen in foot-ball and this team could have finished with a 2-8 record and as good as 10-1 They set a school record for points in a season (452 in 11 games shattering the 1993 record of 425 in 1993 in 12 games)
ldquoWe had a lot of tough breaks this yearrdquo Shipley added ldquoI think the clock malfunctioning at Hendrickson had an effect on the outcome of the game Hendrickson scored two touchdowns in the sec-ond quarter that Irsquom not sure they would have had time to score if the clock was working properly I really feel that the Stony Point game came down to the fourth-down spot at the end of the game That sounds like an excuse but if you were at the game you know exactly what Irsquom
talking about The kids cer-tainly played well enough to win The Shoemaker game could have gone either way as could the Cove game Irsquove had seasons where the ball bounced our way and we got some breaks but unfortunately this wasnrsquot one of themrdquo
Defensively the team may have struggled and gave up yardage and points But the solid play of defensive line lineback-ers and secondary was there John Harvey Chris Jones Carlton Shanks III Brandon Gangloff Garrison Vaughn CJ Jones DJ Fisher Cody Garrett Reagan Chapman and a host of other defensive players played well against a schedule of solid teams
ldquoWinning is difficult in 6A football regardless of what team you are a part ofrdquo Morgan said ldquoI think the biggest thing moving forward is our guys have to understand the impor-tance of every play in the outcome of a close ball-game There can never be a letdown or lapse in focus in a tight ball game On the bright side the 2015 Tigers never quit and put themselves in situations to win every ball game they played this year
As is the case every sea-son teams lose a good number of seniors to grad-uation The 2016 Belton seniors have meant a great deal to the Belton Tigers football tradition
ldquoTheyrsquove put a lot into this thingrdquo Shipley said ldquoThey bought in and worked their tails off Not many teams across the state have over 100 kids that show up at 545 every morning to work out and our seniors led the wayrdquo

At Saturdayrsquos Celebrate Killeen event a number of Cove motorcyclists along with their cohorts from other central Texas com-munities partnered with the Texas Department of Transportation to raise driv-ersrsquo awareness of motorcy-clists on the roads
One such group the Patriot Guard Riders has about 300000 members nationwide said group member Amanda Ferguson of Killeen
ldquoWe attend the funerals of veterans whenever a family invites usrdquo Ferguson said The Patriot Guard when attending a veteranrsquos funeral
will post a line of American flags at the funeral home and stand in salute in honor of the departed veteran
Theyrsquoll also lead the way to the cemetery Ferguson added
On Saturday however several local members of the Patriot Guard rode in a procession while carrying flags saying ldquoLook Twice for Motorcycles After the procession they pointed people to the TxDOTrsquos booth promoting their May 2015 safety awareness campaign called ldquoShare the Road Look Twice for Motorcyclesrdquo
Another group present Saturday were members of ldquoDo You See Me Nowrdquo a motorcycle safety aware-
ness group founded in 2012 by Covite Terri ldquoPopsiclerdquo Benezet in response to a friendrsquos death in a motor-cycle accident
ldquoOur first year we had 1500 riders participate but that was down to around 1000 in 2013rdquo Benezet said She said the numbers were likely down due to the fact a number of the riders were helping in the relief efforts in the weeks following the West explosion
ldquoWersquore here to help people be more aware of motor-
cycles on the roadrdquo she said ldquoTo get people to get off the cell phones while driving pay attentionrdquo
Benezet along with Robert ldquoToolzrdquo Henry president of the ldquoForgotten Soldiersrdquo club and Rick ldquoNinerdquo Dewees State Coordinator of the ldquo2 Million Bikers to DCrdquo club sat in the parking lot of the Killeen Community Center to promote their cause

For the 2015 TEA evaluated school dis-tricts on seven indicators to earn a total of up to thirty points Belton ISD received a perfect score earning all thirty points
At the direction of the legislature TEA began issuing the FIRST report in 2003 This year a new passfail scoring system replaced an earlier system that rated dis-tricts as attaining ldquosuperior achievementrdquo ldquoabove-standard achievementrdquo ldquostandard achievementrdquo or ldquosubstandard achieve-mentrdquo Belton ISD has received the highest available rating on 12 of the 13 reports that have been issued to date
Since 2010 Belton ISD has refunded bonds six times saving taxpayers a total of $75 million

As Kenny Rogers says ldquoYou got to know when to fold lsquoemrdquo The first time I remember pondering that line occurred on August 19 1986 the day Earl Camp-bell announced his retire-ment from the New Orleans Saints That made a big im-pression on me Until that moment I believed I could become just about anything if I wanted
Realistically I could prob-ably never break through an NFL defensive line but I have a good mind and Irsquom a hard worker Earl Campbell taught me you also need a good sense of timing to keep moving forward in life Irsquove been fortunate to put those qualities to good use first as a res-taurant manager then a teacher fol-lowed by time in a corporate cubicle to now as an education consultant And I suppose you could count my work on this column as a fifth career of sorts
There are plenty of examples of folks who stay and play even though the days at the peak of their games
have long gone by Many times knowing when to move on and do the next thing can be tricky but sometimes it can be quite simple As a restaurant manager at age 29 I saw myself quite clearly in the future -- an overweight di-vorced smoker barking or-ders at the hostess from my perch at the bar It was an easy decision to leave that
behind and change jobs Besides I had always wanted to teach Fortu-nately the classroom provided plenty of challenges ndash likely saving both my mental well-being and physical health from disaster
In many cases former athletes continue to contribute publicly by lending their names to worthy causes as speakers and in assisting with fun-draisers Earl Campbell is a leading
spokesperson for research to help those with multiple sclerosis cancer and brain injuries During a speech in Jackson MS in 2014 Campbell said ldquoWe all go through things in life Itrsquos lsquohowrsquo we go through it that matters Itrsquos family itrsquos friends itrsquos our team that gets us there Itrsquos easy to quit and do nothing I refuse to do nothing I keep working to do the best I can do Some people ask what keeps me going My mother didnrsquot quit when my daddy died as she raised 11 kids Why should I quit The military folks in this room they donrsquot quit Why should werdquo
We are all witnesses to the human drama of aging Former sports greats often struggle to make contribu-tions to their teams and continue to receive their customary accolades I love the San Antonio Spurs because itrsquos the one sports team I know that has consistently favored teamwork The top players have made financial

On Retirement
We are lucky to live in Texas I of-ten get the attitude from people that donrsquot live here that there is something negative about living here in Texas Let me set the record straight I have lived here all my life save the few years the military relocated me so I have a fair idea of what being a Texan is all about There is a lot about this great state or country as some might consider it
Well yes we do have some warm days in sum-mer OK hot days How-ever it is no different than the really cold days our yankee neighbors have in their northern states I donrsquot re-call a time when the sun-plow had to move the sunshine from in front of my house so I could go shopping or get to work I also donrsquot remember ever shoveling summer weather from my sidewalk Now in trade for those warm days we get those perfect days
from about later summer through spring The great days are quite welcome as a break from the winter
weather Besides all buildings and every vehicle has air condi-tioning and now the cars start themselves so it can cool down
Since we are essentially a country all our own we also have our own language We say things that donrsquot make sense if you are not from here There is a wide language barrier between a Texan and Bostonian so much so that it might actually require a translator When we give driv-ing directions it makes sense to
Texans but not so much to ldquoforeign-ersrdquo
We also have some of the best food on the planet There is one food named for the state TexMex Obvi-ously a combination based on the regional foods here I donrsquot know of a place with similarly good food or anything named as such like New-Can for a combination of New York
and Canadian foods It just doesnrsquot have that ldquoringrdquo to it Then we also have BBQ here some of the best in the world perhaps the universe This is such a great style of cooking that they have huge competitions for BBQ You donrsquot see those type of contests for boiled cabbage or brus-sels sprouts And donrsquot forget the sea-food
Another great benefit of our cul-ture here is the clothing style Jeans and boots are acceptable for any oc-casion Pressed jeans are just as fancy as dress pants Slip on a black jacket and you are ready for any event I tend to like vests and those are part of the style heritage here I can wear a nice vest in Texas and no one mis-takes me for a waiter Boots are com-fortable and range from durable to quite fashionable I have a couple of pairs that are so soft that I canrsquot imag-ine anything better on my feet And I also have a pair of ostrich skin boots

Every year I have a huge Thanksgiv-ing meal for my entire family I go all out Every year we eat too much and end up at each otherrsquos throats It is this way every year so I have cancelled Thanksgiving at my house Honestly I am relieved but now the whole family is mad at me and my kids are asking me why I know what Thanksgiving is supposed to be but it never turns out that way for my family so why do we do it
K C
Dear KCDid you know that during the holi-
days more people allegedly commit suicide and there are more domestic violence incidents than any other time
of the year I believe in family tradi-tions as long as they serve the purpose
they were intended for As par-ents we tend to forget that our children are absorbing everything that is going on around them even the things we think we are shielding them from Why do we try to shield our kids from things The easy answer is for their pro-tection but the more truthful an-swer is we donrsquot want to explain awkward or difficult things to them if it makes us or somebody else look bad
One of my most favorite Thanksgivings was a day when I had three of my granddaughters all under the age of 10 with me
My husband had to work and their par-ents out of town The girls set the table and we had a very simple meal The table was decorated with sea shells and river rocks We had a red checkered ta-ble cloth and paper towels for napkins
We ate sausage and rice We all shared what we were thankful for and had the best time
We are too hard on ourselves if we are stressed when we try to measure up to the social standards of what the tradi-tional Thanksgiving should be What is wrong with making your own family traditions My son-in-law loves to go hunting Thanksgiving weekend They have a fabulous meal usually on paper plates Whatrsquos wrong with that
I hope you and your family have your best Thanksgiving ever and make new traditions that you can look forward to and not dread every year Make it whatever you would really like for it to be We live in a wonderful blessed country That in and of itself is reason to be happy on Thanksgiving without all the fuss

Thanksgiving is much more than a big meal with family and friends Itrsquos a time to reflect on and be thankful for all of the good things you have Even with all of the uncertainty and turmoil in the world you have so much to be thank-ful for Itrsquos important to be grateful not just on Thanksgiving but each and every day Rather than la-menting what you feel is lacking in your life begin each new day by develop-ing an attitude of gratitude Take inventory of your blessings and you will be surprised at just how much you have to be thankful for
If you have enough to eat a place to live a way to get around people who care about you or people you care about then you are wealthy If you lack any of these elements you must still be grateful for what you do have while striv-ing to obtain whatever is absent
Focus on all positive as-pects of your life Take nothing for granted Every morning recharge your ap-preciation Be happy for everything there is not upset over what you feel is missing
Dreams of the future shouldnrsquot diminish appre-ciation for the present If all you do is concentrate on
what you want you wonrsquot enjoy today Donrsquot be jeal-ous of others what they do or have has no bearing on you
You can feel bitter or resentful for a variety of reasons Perhaps you feel something is missing from your life things arenrsquot going your way or you have been treated unfairly You may wonder ldquoWhy do these things always happen to merdquo
Lifersquos problems tend to dominate your thoughts turning your focus to what you feel is wrong You may start to resent those who appear to be better off Yoursquore apt to dwell on things you think would make your life better if you had them If only you had more money more time a bigger house a different car a different job a differ-ent boss had picked a dif-ferent career etc
Once your attitude be-comes one of deficiency in-stead of abundance and ap-preciation you can become overwhelmed by feelings of frustration and feel like a victim As this happens a consuming vicious cycle starts
Being bitter or resentful blows situations out of pro-portion People who are

There are certain time honoured phrases that are trite and worn out Most of us donrsquot like to hear them but they keep around because they are still very true The great-est of these trite but true statements to me is this ldquoJesus is the answerrdquo I remember as a kid people would say that and I could find no direct nor indirect way that Jesus was connected to my day to day issues When I was younger it was mainly with relationship and work issues By work I mean school work but work translates fairly well across our age groups I had real issues fitting in in middle school I didnrsquot fit neatly into the defined groups at school but fell a bit between the cracks And someone would say as I didnrsquot fit in ldquoJesus is the answerrdquo Really Was Jesus going to make me
popular (this is what I thought I wanted) Was Jesus going to take up pen and paper and do well on my tests for me
My issue or problem was that if Jesus is the an-swer perhaps I was ask-ing the wrong questions What questions we ask is a very important matter
you see I was al-ways before look-ing for Jesus to be like a lucky rabbits foot or perhaps a genie in a bottle When I needed help that suited my needs I would call and like a cosmic butler I expected Him to appear grant my wishes and then go away
My questions for Jesus were all about me But I have come to understand that the issue might be my questions
Jesus is almighty God existing from all eternity and all things that have been made were

How Can the Fedrsquos Actions Affect You
Scot HrbacekFinancial Advisor3011 N Main Ste CBelton TX 76513(254) 933-7680scothrbacekedwardjonescomMember SIPC
The Federal Reserve may soon raise short-term interest rates What would a rate hike mean to you as an individual investor
For one thing if you own bonds be aware that their price could fall ndash bond prices typically move in the opposite direction of interest rates Longer-term bonds may see more drastic price drops so make sure these bonds donrsquot make up too large a percentage of your fixed-income portfolio
You could also build a bond ladder consisting of short- and long-term bonds and other fixed-rate vehicles such as certificates of deposit When interest rates rise as may be the case soon you can reinvest your maturing short-term bonds and CDs at the higher rates And when market rates are low yoursquoll still have your longer-term bonds which usually pay higher rates working for you Make sure the bonds or CDs in your ladder are consistent with your investment objectives
Concentrate on those things you can control such as building a diversified portfolio that reflects your goals risk tolerance and time horizon This type of focus can help you ndash no matter where interest rates are headed

a proactive purchase We are reacting to the fact that our equipment has lived its life and exceeded its lifespan as wersquove had our current equip-ment since 1992rdquo said Phillips ldquoIt is proactive because we will be ready with efficient equip-ment to deal with any car acci-dents that may arise Morganrsquos Point is growing very quickly so the need for these materi-als may increase We can be ready nowrdquo The very interesting thing
about this purchase is the three-way split between the three organizations A pur-chase of this magnitude has never taken place this way before and thanks to the com-bined effort of these Ladies Auxiliary Club the City of Morganrsquos Point and the MPFD this purchase of these materials will be quick and economically efficient for all three organizations involvedldquoThe Morganrsquos Point Ladies

Now these are the Texanrsquos versions of Gucci loafers
I know that some people like living in large cities for the cultural and social bene-fits I can see that but some-times you need open spaces I have on a few occasions been out under the open sky and seen the Milky Way in such a bright and fantastic way that it was beyond de-scription Not just seeing it in a dark sky but seeing the fullness from one horizon to the other There is no way to take in that view from the middle of a city Actually there are not many places dark enough at night and flat enough to let the full-ness of all the stars to shine through
We have great scenery as well We go from beaches on the ocean to forests to even mountains Granted the mountains arenrsquot really the snowy peaks like the Rock-ies We do get snow and if you wanted to cross coun-try ski you could travel for many miles in west Texas on a snowy day without going up or down a hill
Living in a place like Bel-ton can be unique There are few places in the world where people are as friendly as Texas and most of the south Being in a small town seems to help people be neighborly as well Perhaps it is seeing the same people a lot or knowing that we all share a nice town along the creek We speak and hold doors open and just enjoy the benefits of being Texans We can follow our noses to some great food travel a few miles to the beach get lost in the forest or when you really need to let go just step outside on a clear night and look at all the stars in the sky That is one way to clear your head another way is a good full plate of Tex-Mex

By Caleb MynattThe Belton Journal
A well-loved and popu-lar eating establishment in Belton is undergoing a major renovation Clem Mikeskarsquos Barbeque one of the most well-known res-taurants in the community as well as a heir to one of the best known names in the Texas barbeque world is undergoing an expansion to their building to fit the needs of the consumers Clem Mikeskarsquos is one of the most attended restaurants in Belton and is becoming bigger and better than it is already
ldquoClem Mikeskarsquos has been in Belton for about 10 years nowrdquo said Anna Mikeska Payne ldquoWersquove received requests for a bigger build-ing because wersquove grown so much we are running out of tables to seat everybody Clem Mikeskas is expanding as a response to customer demandrdquo
Clem Mikeskarsquos has always been a great venue as a social gathering place as well as a family establishment Clem
Mikeskarsquos has been a won-derful place to make a new friend and have a sit down dinner with your family As a result of the expansion Clem Mikeskarsquos is only going to become a better place to enjoy a meal with friends and family
ldquoWe want to make Clem Mikeskarsquos a great family establishment We want it to be a place where you can meet new people and enjoy the food and the funrdquo said Mikeska Payne ldquoAs a part of the expansion we are going to be adding a bar that will be serving draft beers only as well as some wine We will be adding new tables and chairs but we will also add nine new TVrsquos We want Clem Mikeskarsquos to be a place people can come and enjoy a football game or basketball game and have a good beer as well as come after a foot-ball or basketball or baseball gamerdquo
As for Clem Mikeskarsquos famous finger-lickinrsquo food options it too is going to undergo change
ldquoAs well as the expansion in the buildings seating and
the bar and what not we will be changing our menurdquo said Mikeska Payne ldquoWe have widened our menu options so people can come in sev-eral times a week and have something different You can come in one day and have the chicken salad and then come in the other day and have shrimp po-boyrdquo
Clem Mikeskarsquos has been one of the most popular res-taurants in Belton for many years now Though many new people have moved to Belton and Temple over the past decade the love for Clem Mikeskarsquos Barbeque has lasted throughout the years The expansion of Clem Mikeskarsquos is an excit-ing thing for the Belton and Temple community as it will become better at what it already does provide wonderful food and a great atmosphere for the citizens and families of Belton and Temple Texas
ldquoWe are growing with Beltonrdquo said Mikeska Payne ldquoBelton is indeed growing so our restaurant needed to as wellrdquo

bitter frequently find that their situations deteriorate and their mental and physi-cal health decays
Itrsquos difficult if not impos-sible to achieve your goals while you are bitter or re-sentful Regardless of what challenges might befall you bitterness makes finding so-lutions much more elusive
There is no point to feel-ing bitter since it accom-plishes nothing harms you and makes things worse Filling yourself with grati-tude on a daily basis makes you feel good while driving out negative feelings
Begin your practice of gratitude each morning as soon as you wake Every day is a great day If you have any doubts try miss-ing one Take inventory of everything no matter how small or seemingly insignif-icant that is good in your
lifeIf it helps make a writ-
ten list of all things you are grateful for Read your list every day As you do this you will build and reinforce your attitude of gratitude Donrsquot waste any time with what you feel you donrsquot have
Keep things in perspec-tive Consider all the peo-ple who have overcome difficulties far worse than yours Donrsquot be consumed by your problems there is always a solution Main-taining an attitude of grati-tude allows your mind to devise a resolution for your circumstances
Make everyday a day of Thanksgiving and you will be amazed how much better your life will become

For the 2015 school districts were evaluated
on seven indicators with the possibility of earning up to 30 points Belton ISD received a per-fect score earning all 30 points
At the direction of the legislature TEA began issuing the FIRST report in 2003 This year a new passfail scoring system replaced an earlier sys-tem that rated districts as attaining ldquosuperior achievementrdquo ldquoabove-standard achievementrdquo
ldquostandard achievementrdquo or ldquosubstandard achieve-mentrdquo Belton ISD has received the highest avail-able rating on 12 of the 13 reports that have been issued to date

Santa Pal Blue Santa returns to Morganrsquos Point Resort
By David TumaThe Belton Journal
Tim Bower found his love after football Some football players go back to coaching or into business of some sort The discipline of the sport pays off in the business world for many young men in Texas Many businesses in Belton to this day are run by ex-football players the same is true for Temple or most towns that have a football team
Bower more than likely is going to spend the rest of his life working on a ranch of some sort That is really what he would like to do This past summer he worked at the Philmont Scout Ranch taking scouts on trail rides Tim is an Eagle Scout and has been to the ranch several times while in the scouts
The Philmont is near Cimarron New Mexico just east of Taos Bower worked with young scouts on two hour trail rides daily Bad weather conditions tend to slow things down or have the ride can-celed
ldquoThere were kids from the big
cities that were scared to death of the horse at first Some of them had never seen a horse in person They picked it up real quick After two hours on that first ride the inside of the knees got real sorerdquo said Bower
There is a difference between hik-ing in the mountains and riding a horse Walking in the mountains you have to spend a lot of time watching your feet You are either going up or down and usually there is a drop off Some kids have been near a horse some havenrsquot There is more to a trail ride with kids than
what you would think Both horse and rider need to be compatible
Bower and the other trail boss-es would start saddling the 18-25 horses at 5 am The ride would start at 8 am They gave a demon-stration of what to do
ldquoWe tried to assign the kids a horse that was a match to the personality of both You walk the horse around
with the kid on board Then you adjust the stirups and the cinch When you ride you see so much more of the beauty of the moun-tains We had kids from Chicago that had never seen a horse before There are four different camps that offer ridesrdquo said Bower
There were two wranglers for every 15 riders Bower also got to go on several 5-day rides one of the camps offer Each night they camped in the mountains From listening to Bower it was hard to tell who had more fun the scouts or him
The ranch he worked on is a huge place totaling over 127000 acres and 214 square miles Craig Bower took Tim his son to the camp twice in 2006 and 2008
ldquoI told my dad I wanted to work on the ranch I donrsquot remember that but he did I wake up to a beautiful sunrise and elk It gets cold here but being from Texas makes it hard to judge what is cold We worked with a girl from Chicago and she said it was okay I still think it was cold My favorite memories are from this ranch I did get to scout from some Elk right before I left Being 30-yards from a bull elk is awesomerdquo said Bower
He broke two smart phones early in his work on the ranch He switched to flip phones ldquoYou donrsquot need all that fancy Facebook stuff up thererdquo said Bower He plans to go back again and again he intends to do some hunting with his family
He has also won a buckle at a rodeo held at a local town near the ranch During one of the competi-tions he thought he cracked a rib Tim won the buckle after a quick call to his father to make sure it was a broken rib It was the final event he participated in

Is your charity effectiveSpecial to the Journal
Donors give to charity throughout the year but the charity watchdog group Charity Navigator reports that around 40 percent of donors make their annual contributions between Thanksgiving and New Yearrsquos Day No matter when one gives the decision to support a charity should never be made lightly Some people choose to donate to charities that focus on causes that resonate with them Emotional feelings can drive donation deci-sions but itrsquos important to do some research into the charitable organization to determine how ef-ficiently the charity operates and how effective the organization ultimately is at fulfilling its mission Look at how much of your money actually goes to-ward the cause you are supporting paying atten-tion to how the organization allocates donations The majority of donation dollars should go to the cause and not toward organizational overhead Here are some questions to ask before selecting a charity
middot Does the charity address the most serious problems in the most cost-effective ways
middot How much money is devoted to overhead ver-sus program outreach
middot Are the charityrsquos interventions really workingmiddot Will this charity help the greatest number of
people with your donationmiddot Is the organization honest and transparentIndividuals can make use of resources made
available by the Better Business Bureau Charity Navigator and GiveWell to see if charities meet their criteria

The Body of Christ Community Clinic has joined in a growing international movement called GivingTuesday This is a desig-nated day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individu-als communities and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity worldwide The day itself falls on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving each year meaning the actual GivingTuesday for 2015 falls on December 1
The Body of Christ Clinic is part-nering with several local businesses and organizations to celebrate gen-erosity and promote giving on three separate TuesdaysmdashNovember 17th and 24th and December 1st (the global GivingTuesday date)
On November 17th our partner
Grand Avenue Theater in Belton will be offering $5 movies all day and a percentage of all their con-cession sales will be donated to the Clinic
On that same day the University of Mary Hardin Baylor will kick off a GivingThanks initiative in con-junction with our GivingTuesday effort Students will be able to write something for which they are grateful on a large poster and take a photograph of themselves with the poster They will also be encour-aged to make a donation to the Clinic and take another selfie this time called an ldquounselfierdquo as they make a charitable contribution
The Body of Christ Community Clinic is a team of local volun-teers committed to carrying out the compassionate healing ministry of Christ by providing personalized quality health services to the medi-cally underserved in the greater Belton and Salado ISD areas Our Vision is to be recognized as a Christ-Centered healthcare pro-vider enabling all in our commu-nity to achieve healthy living in mind body and spirit There is a great need for health services in
our community as poverty levels and uninsured rates are both high especially among minority popula-tions
Over 100 volunteers staff the Clinic rotating their services to cover the hours of operation These include doctors dentists nurses physician assistants dental assistants hygienists social work-ers and clerical techs The only paid positions are those of a full time Executive Director a part- time nurse practitioner (5hrs) a week and patient scheduler (3hrs) The Clinic is a 501 (c) (3) not for profit organization and finan-cial support for the Clinic comes from area churches and individual donors The Clinic receives no fed-eral or state funding The Clinic has been in operation for five years All the volunteers at the Clinic are men and women dedicated to expressing love and compassion to those without access to medical and dental care

It was a crazy opening night to the 2015 Texas UIL Class 6A-Region I Bi-District Playoffs at Homer B Johnson Stadium in Garland Friday night as the Belton Tigers traveled to take on the Rowlett Eagles
From the opening kick-off to the final whistle the game was track meet of epic proportions In the end the Tigers were unable to stop the Eagles
late and were stopped on a last-ditch effort inside the final minute Rowlett advanced to the area round against Dallas Skyline with a 65-64 win over Belton
The Tigers ended their season 5-6
Belton took the open-ing kickoff and performed some trickeration as Davion Peoples pitched the ball to Olajuwon Taylor after receiving the ball Taylor went 40 yards to start the Tigers on their own 40-yard line Peoples
ran the first play from scrimmage for 15 yards and the third play for 17 yards The plays set up a field goal of 37 yards from Roberto Barrios to give the Tigers a 3-0 lead with 1006 to play in the first quarter
Rowlett answered the score with a touch-down of 26 yards from Logan Bonner to LaDarius Pickens Alvin Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 7-3 lead with 722 to play in the opening stanza
Carlton Shanks III took a pooch kick by the Eagles 57 yards to the Rowlett 8 to set up Peoplesrsquo eight-yard run on the next play A bad snap caused holder Anthony Mirabel to pull in the ball and break for the right pylon Mirabel appeared to have made it to the inside of the pylon by the replay but the ref-eree claimed he went out of bounds and called the conversion attempt no good Belton led 9-7 lead with 702 to go in the first quarter
One of the Rowlett returners was rocked by a hit and fumbled but one of the Eagles recovered the ball on the Rowlett 33 Bonner connected with Quinton Stinson for a 63-yard pass comple-tion down to the Belton 2 Bonner snuck the ball into the end zone on the next play Chris Luplowrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 14-9 lead with 641 to go in the quarter
Belton took the next possession down to the Rowlett 45 but turned
the ball over on downs when Peoples was stopped at the Rowlett 44 on fourth down and three The Eagles took the ball and drove it down to the Belton 7 Great defen-sive plays by Garrison Vaughn Bryan Thomas and John Harvey kept the ball out of the end zone forcing the Eagles to settle for a Kenworthy 23-yard field goal Rowlett led 17-9 with 227 left in the first period

Payton Mansell found Weston Lucas for a nice 27-yard comple-tion into Rowlett terri-tory to highlight the next scoring drive The duo hooked up for a 25-yard touchdown strike and Barrios hit the point-after to draw the Tigers to within a point 17-16 with 37 seconds remain-ing in the quarter
Rowlett hit pay turf the first play into the second quarter follow-ing a Bonner to Josh Lewis 37-yard comple-tion Dickensrsquo 7-yard touchdown run gave to the Eagles a 23-16 lead Kenworthyrsquos point-after kick glanced off the right upright

Kobe Morrowrsquos 51-yard run set up Rowlettrsquos next score Bonner had 13 yards of completions and Morrowrsquos plunge in from a yard out put six more points up for the Eagles
Luplowrsquos extra-point made the score 37-23 with 42 seconds to go in the half
Belton unfazed from the drive got a bril-liant pass completion from Mansell to Collins that was tipped for a 46-yard completion to the Rowlett 16 After a Belton timeout the Tigers continued to drive the ball down to the goal line With one second remaining in the half Mansell found Taylor for a 3-yard touchdown pass Barriosrsquo extra-point made the score 37-30 at halftime
Belton got a defen-sive stand to start the third quarter as Shanks Vaughn and Chris Jones made three stops in a row on Bonner and forced Rowlett to punt
The Tigers got the ball at midfield to start their first second-half posses-sion Mansellrsquos 30-yard run set the table for his own 1-yard touchdown run to cap off the 8-play 50-yard drive Barriosrsquo extra-point tied the score at 37-37
On the next play from scrimmage Morrow took a delayed hand off waited for a hole to open burst through it and dashed 74 yards for a Rowlett score Luplowrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 44-37 lead with 813 to
go in the third quarterAnother good return
by Shanks gave the Tigers good starting field position this time on the Belton 40 Mansell dissected the Rowlett secondary with passes to Mirabel and Taylor for 27 combined yards Mansellrsquos strike to Taylor from six yards away and Barriosrsquo extra-point tied the score at 44-44 with 510 to go in the third quarter On the point-after Rowlett was flagged for an unsportsmanlike conduct foul moving the Tigers up to mid-field to kick off Belton
recovered the onside kick at the Rowlett 33 and started back to workFollowing a three-yard pass from Mansell to Bubba Marshall Peoples burst around end and raced 30 yards to give the Tigers the lead 50-44 Barriosrsquo extra-point try sailed wide left keeping the Tigers in the lead by six
Bonnerrsquos pass to Lewis for 10 yards set up a 53-yard option pitch run by Morrow down to the Belton 3 Kofi McDonald and Brandon Gangloff made huge stops to force third down Morrow pounded the ball into the end zone and Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave the Eagles a one-point lead with 129 to
play in the third quarter 51-50
After a short kickoff by Rowlett Demeatric Brandon busted off a 49-yard run down the sidelines to the Rowlett 15 Peoplesrsquo ran the ball in for a touchdown on the next play to give Belton to lead once again The Tigers lined up for a two-point conversion and Rowlett called time-out right before the play Belton trotted the point-after team back on and tried for an extra point which sailed wide right The Tigers led 56-51 with 56 seconds left in
the third quarterAfter a great special
teams play by Harvey the Eagles started their next drive at their own 28-yard line Rowlett drove the ball down to the Belton 41 and were forced into a fourth and two situation Bonner dropped back to pass and Vaughn stepped in front of the receiver at the Belton 2 and intercepted the ball with 950 left on the fourth quarter clock
Peoples always up for big-game plays busted off one of the biggest runs in recent Tiger his-tory He took the hand off Mansell made three jukes broke into the open and raced 98 yards for an electrifying Tiger score The two-point
conversion was good and the Tiger fans cheered on the effort as Belton led by 13 points 64-51 with 933 to play
Rowlett answered the call again putting together a 64-yard drive capped by a 24-yard pass from Bonner to Morrow Luplowrsquos extra-point made the score 64-58 with 714 to go
Belton got the ball back at their own 18-yard line and ended up in a third and six situation at their own 22-yard line Mansell scrambled towards the Rowlett sidelines looking for an open man He ended up out of bounds on a hard hit and was down for a couple of moments Belton had to send out backup punter Lutz to kick the ball away on fourth down The ball went off the side of his foot and Rowlett ended up with great field posi-tion at the Belton 41
Shanks and Jones made two good defensive stops on the first two plays of Rowlettrsquos next drive Bonner found Dickens for a 11-yard comple-tion for a first down and put the Eagles in striking distance again On third down and two on the Belton 8 Bonner scrambled around the right side and got the benefit of a hold from Rowlettrsquos right tackle in front of the referee as he went in for the score Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett the lead 65-64 with 233 to play in the game
Belton started to move the ball down the field on their final drive Peoples had two rushes for eight yards and Brandon bust-ed off a 12-yard run On second down and 10 at the Rowlett 30 the Tigers drew a critical holding call which set them back 10 yards On the next play Mansell threw the ball towards Taylor who was being held for 10 yards by the jersey by the safety The pass was incomplete and no call was made On third down and 20 at the Rowlett 40 Mansell
found Taylor open for a split second over the middle and threw a pass high towards him Taylor was grabbed as he attempted to make the catch and could not make the catch The back judge deemed the ball uncatch-able though Taylorrsquos fingertips appeared to touch the ball On fourth down Mansell scram-bled to find to open man and ran across the field and let a pass go that was short of the target The Tigers had to turn it over on downs with 43 seconds left Rowlett knelt the ball twice and ended the Tigersrsquo season in heartbreaking fashion
It was a bittersweet pill for the Tigers to take as they were turnover-free in the game and had a 13-point lead with 933 to play
ldquoIrsquom proud of the teamrdquo Belton head coach Bob Shipley said ldquoThey just fought and fought the entire game Either team deserved to win Both teams deserved to win Only one could win Yoursquore up 64-51 in the fourth quarter and we just had a tough time stopped them all night They had a really good scheme and really good offense We made some good stops and made the onside kick We were going to run the onside kick whether we got that 15-yard penalty or not There are a lot of situ-ations during the game that could have been the difference in the game The situation I was most disappointed in was that we couldnrsquot get a first down after they scored (with Belton leading 64-58) We shanked the punt and they scored We couldnrsquot get it donerdquo
Despite coming up a point short at the end Shipley was proud of the Tigersrsquo efforts
ldquoI really wanted them to hold up the gold foot-ball and win for our seniors a championship of some sortrdquo Shipley said ldquoBut it didnrsquot hap-pen I know that they laid the foundation to build on for next yearrdquo

If the 32 minutes of basketball that the Belton Tigers opened up with on Monday night at Tiger Gym is a small taste of what fans will see out of this yearrsquos boysrsquo basketball team people may want to get in line for a big helping
Belton used a 29-7 third quarter and com-pounded it to a 17-point halftime lead en route to an 81-39 win over the Austin Travis Rebels
The Tigers are now 1-0 on the young season
Belton held Travis to one field goal in the first
quarter although neither team hit the scoreboard until Kiron Griffin Jr hit a put back in the paint at the 511 match and Izaiah Jones had a put back 20 seconds later to put Belton up 4-0
After a Travis field goal Jones Ruben Freeman and Dontori Lott helped the Tigers mount a 9-3 closing run to give Belton a 13-5 lead at the end of the first quarter

Carson Hammond com-bined for the 22 points giving Belton a 35-18 lead at halftime
The Tigers made an emphatic statement to open up the first 445 of the second half by putting 17 unanswered points on the board Jones had six points Freeman and Hammond each had four points and Griffin hit a three-pointer to give the Tigers at 32-point lead 52-20 Belton held the Rebels to nine points in the quarter and lead by 35 points at the end for the stanza 62-27
Belton head coach David President cycled his bench into the game
and got valuable in-game experience The Tigers outscored Travis in the fourth quarter 19-12 and Belton cruised to the 42-point win
It is the biggest Belton margin of victory in sev-eral years President saw great things from his young team during the ball game
ldquoThe energy level was high and everybody came out ready to playrdquo President said ldquoI bragged on a couple of guys ear-lier today and they came out a little slow When we went to our bench we had great energyrdquo
Five Tigers scored in double-figures with
Jones leading the team with 15 points (10 in a row in the third quarter) Lott scored 14 Griffin posted 12 Hammond scored 11 and Freeman scored 10 Seven Tigers scored in all
Beltonrsquos two leading scorers from a year ago Jackson McGowan and Jordan Russell didnrsquot score But they posted several rebounds assists and steals in a solid defensive effort
ldquoWe have to have strong production from our bench all season longrdquo President said ldquoOn different nights some guys are going to be on We expect that
But when we bring the energy every night thatrsquos big time for usrdquo
Belton will travel to Temple to take on the Wildcats Saturday after-noon at 5 pm The game was moved from 7 pm on Friday to Saturday afternoon due to Templersquos playoff game in Bryan
ldquoItrsquos a rivalry gamerdquo President said ldquoItrsquos a game that will have high emotion and a lot of energy in the building We just have to do what we do We canrsquot get out of what we do We need to execute and play within ourselvesrdquo

Tigers Football sub-varsity teams successful in 2015
LOICONTINUED FROM C1
By Tony AdamsSports Editor
Much in the way of the past two seasons the Belton Tigersrsquo sub-varsity experienced great success in the 2015 season
The five sub-varsity teams went a combined 34-10-1 outscoring teams 1178-541
Thatrsquos an average score of 26-12 A two-touch-down differential com-bined up and down the ranks is an impressive one
The crown jewel in the season was the Belton JV Red team finishing with a perfect 10-0 record Outscoring teams 389-88 the nearest team came to within just 16 points of the Tigers
ldquoThis was a real-ly good group to work withrdquo Belton coach Mike Morgan said ldquoOne of the big selling points to the kids was that they had a tremendous opportunity to go out and compete each week As the season progressed and the team kept winning we talked about the opportunity to be perfect as a team There is never a perfect
play in a game and never a perfect game it is not possible But a team has the opportunity to have a perfect season and that is what the JV Red was able to accomplish They are a very unselfish group of players and they bought in that if they played extremely hard and did their job then they would have a great chance to be successfulrdquo
The Belton JV White team finished 6-2 against tough competition as well outscoring the oppo-sition 181-112 Though games against Stony Point (weather) and Ellison (JV teams merged) were cancelled coach Jason Moffett and his staff worked hard with their players to guide them towards success
ldquoWe try to find ways to really make the White Team importantrdquo Moffett said ldquoWe try not to allow our guys to think of themselves as ldquoBrdquo Team players We want to win ball games and be district champs no matter what the level We spend a lot of time coaching these guys I think a lot more than some other teams in
our area I saw improve-ment defensively over the course of the year in terms of alignment assignment and tacklingrdquo
The Belton Freshman Red team finished 7-3 outscoring opponents 273-146 A few of the freshmen were called up to junior varsity through-out the season
ldquoFreshmen improved from the start of camp all the way until the last game of the yearrdquo Belton coach Al Maxwell said ldquoThe improvement was most evident in the physi-cal condition and most importantly the mental toughness of the team as a wholerdquo
The Freshman White team was two points from a perfect season in their own rights (a late-season loss to Midway 29-27) having gone 9-1 in 2015 outscoring opponents 269-94
The Freshman Gray team played just a 7-game schedule and finished 2-4-1 having been out-scored 101-66 Most of the players were brought up to Freshman Red and Freshman White at the completion of the sched-
uleldquoThe guys achieved
good things this foot-ball season by winning 18 games and compet-ing with three teamsrdquo Maxwell said ldquoThe guysrsquo mental toughness was on display each game and showed when games became tough and crowds were hostile The guys did very this season and will look to win a district championship next sea-sonrdquo
The key to the success of the Tigers sub-varsity programs is the work that the players put in and the coaching staff and how they coach It is a uni-formed system up and down the ranks
ldquoWe spend a lot of time as coaches with our sub-varsity teamsrdquo Belton head football coach Bob Shipley said ldquoI canrsquot imagine any sub-varsi-ty teams in our district who get more individual coaching from varsity coaches than our kids do The JV kids have to be scout team players of course but we spend a lot of time with them out-side of varsity practice They are well-prepared
every week If you want to change a culture and have kids expecting to win you have to invest a lot of time in them before they are varsity players Our kids are learning how to win for sure Irsquove had kids tell me several times that they never won more than a game or two in middle school and they love win-ning in high school That lets us know that itrsquos all worth itrdquo
The talent is so abun-dant in the Belton sub-varsity system that the varsity team is able to bring up players to add to their depth and keep the junior varsity and fresh-man teams very competi-tive Although there are too many potential names to name players to watch in particular over the next season or two or three Shipley believes that the
10th grade season for a football player is one of the most critical seasons
ldquoThere are several JV players we expect to start for us next yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoIt should be that way every year We only had 2 sophomore players on varsity the majority of the season I think 10th grade is a critical time for players They need to be playing as much as pos-sible If theyrsquore going to be on varsity as sophomores they need to be starting because theyrsquore not get-ting any better standing on the sidelines They need to be getting every snap on Thursday nights so they can continue to develop as players and improverdquo
Congratulations to all five teams on a successful 2015 season

The two teams will be meeting for the fourth time in the postseason and the 22nd time over-all The Cru has won each of the previous three postseason meet-ings between these two programs and holds a 15-6 all-time edge in the series
ldquoIt feels awesome to be selected and we really did have to sweat it out this seasonrdquo Cru head coach Pete Fredenburg said ldquoIt makes you real-ize what a fragile exis-tence you have in the playoffs and I feel an obligation to make sure we do everything we can to make the most of this opportunity I think the playersrsquo reaction shows that they are excited to be back in the playoffs and we hope that the excitement carries on into our practice and preparation for a big ball game next week-endrdquo
Anderson crossed the 2000-yard passing mark against East Texas Baptist He is 125-of-204 for 2041 yards 19 touchdowns against just four interceptions He also has 247 yards rushing and seven touchdowns Jackson is inserted into the ball-game in certain pack-ages and his numbers are good going 34-of-67 passing for 451 yards six touchdowns against two interceptions while running for 263 yards

Ramos gets the major-ity of the looks at wide receiver (75 catches for 1443 yards 16 TDs 192 yards-per-catch) and is dangerous as a punt and kick returner He has 330 yards on 17 punt returns and two touchdowns to go with four kick returns for 130 yards and a touchdown
UMHBrsquos defense is one of the best in the
country with 19 inter-ceptions 49 sacks 122 tackles for 507 yards lost nine forced fum-bles and 11 recovered fumbles Trey Thedford leads the defense with 83 tackles Teidrick Smith has 47 tackles includ-ing a team-leading 21 tackles for 116 yards lost and a team-leading 14 sacks Jon Isom has 165 tackles for loss and is second on the team in sacks with 11 Baylor Mullins Raylon Hickey and Reggie Wilson each have four interceptions

By Tony AdamsSports Editor
Last Friday nightrsquos bi-dis-trict playoff game between the Belton Tigers and the Rowlett Eagles was loaded with ups and downs There were so many great perfor-mances including Davion Peoples scoring rushing touchdowns on three con-secutive scores including his school record-breaking 98-yard run on his way to a 200-plus yard rushing night and Peyton Mansellrsquos ability to navigate the Tigers up and down the field
ldquoObviously we did some good things offensivelyrdquo Belton head coach Bob Shipley said ldquoWe didnrsquot turn the ball over which we knew would be key The offensive line did a good job most of the night and of course we had some receivers come up with some big plays I thought Peyton (Mansell) played really well especially for his first playoff gamerdquo
ldquoOffensively our kids did a great job execut-ing the game plan we preached all week that we couldnrsquot have that lull on offense that we have had from time to timerdquo Belton offensive coordinator Sam Skidmore said ldquoThe offen-sive line controlled the line of scrimmage DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) did a great job seeing the holes running well and blocking Peyton did it through the air and on the ground and really stepped up and led the entire receiving corps did a great job I think almost everyone had a catch and did a great job blocking as wellrdquo
As heartbreaking as the
loss was it was the high mark for points scored in a game this season and set a school record for points in a season with 452 There was absolutely no quit in the 48 minutes
ldquoDefensively it was just a long nightrdquo Shipley said ldquoWe made a couple of stops but didnrsquot in the fourth quarter when we had too They were very athletic and had a great quarterback I thought our kids fought so hard and Irsquom proud of them for that My only disappointment offensively were penalties that hurt our field position and the inability to get first downs when we had the lead in the fourth quarterrdquo
ldquoVery impressed with the resiliency our kids showedrdquo Belton special teams coach Mike Morgan said ldquoIt was a very emotional game and our kids kept responding over and over againrdquo
Ramonce Taylor was on the sidelines for the last couple of games and has been very encouraging towards the team He was so happy for Peoples when he broke his school record for the longest run
ldquoRamonce has been to several games this yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoItrsquos always great to see him and have him giving our kids point-ers I donrsquot think anyone would argue that he has to be one of the greatest athletes to ever represent Belton High School Hersquos back in school and wants to be a coach After seeing the way our kids respond to him I think hersquod be a great onerdquo
ldquoWe were very glad to have Ramonce on the side-linerdquo Skidmore said ldquoThe kids can relate and he was encouraging the kids being
involved and I know our kids enjoyed him being aroundrdquo
When discussing with the coaches the bi-district playoff game outcomes the 10-7 Shoemaker win over Sachse was a surprise to many in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex But to the Belton staff it wasnrsquot
ldquoI knew Shoemaker had a good defense but I was a little surprised by the scorerdquo Shipley said ldquoSachse has playmakers all over the field I think it shows people that our district can compete with any district in the state Every school has a great coaching staff Irsquove been very impressed with the coaches in our district and of course the athletes we see week in and week out are amazingrdquo
ldquoNo I expected Shoemaker to give them fits the match up of Kendall Jones on Sachsersquos center was going play big in favor of Shoemakerrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAlso Shoemakerrsquos overall defensive speed and tenacity gave Sachse fits I donrsquot know for sure but Irsquom assuming Shoemakerrsquos defensive line and front seven was disruptive all night against Sachsersquos offensive linerdquo
ldquoShoemaker was not a surprise at allrdquo Morgan said ldquoHolding Sachse to zero offensive touchdowns was quite an accomplish-ment But the unit that Shoemaker is able to put on the field defensively will probably not be appreci-ated until all of those guys have graduated Midway performed about like I thought they would Aside from the early season loss-es they have been a very good team the last eight weeksrdquo
The Tigers had a great season despite a 5-6 record There were highlights and lowlights as every season has
ldquoThe two games at Killeen were exciting but I think the way our kids came out and played against Hendrickson and Stony Point was a highlight for the regular seasonrdquo Shipley said ldquoThose teams beat us badly last year and our kids showed that we are a different team this year I was also proud of the way we came out against Midway as well It was a far cry from last year when we were never in the gamerdquo
ldquoI thought our offense made great strides this yearrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAt times we were very explo-sive and put up good num-bers The offensive line played well all year Shack was a great leader and it was awesome to see the prog-ress of Jerrod (Jackson) Javon (Chambers) (Jacob) Dumas and Caleb Smith Jaylin Bryant You couldnrsquot have asked for a better 1-2 punch than DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) Those two had great seasons Peyton (Mansell) got better every game he was a real leader and battled every game The leadership and tenac-ity to win he showed was impressive The receiv-ers got better all year and Olajuwon (Taylor) step-ping up and making plays all year long was hugerdquo
ldquoThe 2015 Tigers were a great bunch to coachrdquo Morgan said ldquoThere were times we had it rolling in all three phases of the game and times when we were one or two first downs or one or two stops away from breaking close games
open With all of the offen-sive skill kids who had to be replaced from 2014 I was very proud of the way new guys developed and became such weapons offensively It all started and ended with the out-standing play of our offen-sive line and tight end I thought Zach Shackelford lead that group to being very good and new coach Jacob Hunter did an out-standing job as well Most disappointing was the early season struggles of our punt team and the impact it had on our Hendrickson Stony Point and Copperas Cove losses Kickers Roberto Barrios and Ryan Smith were very effective and improved dramatically from seasonrsquos start to endrdquo
Belton led in every game this season and five of the six losses came within the final minute (a total of 16 points in those five games) Things happen in foot-ball and this team could have finished with a 2-8 record and as good as 10-1 They set a school record for points in a season (452 in 11 games shattering the 1993 record of 425 in 1993 in 12 games)
ldquoWe had a lot of tough breaks this yearrdquo Shipley added ldquoI think the clock malfunctioning at Hendrickson had an effect on the outcome of the game Hendrickson scored two touchdowns in the sec-ond quarter that Irsquom not sure they would have had time to score if the clock was working properly I really feel that the Stony Point game came down to the fourth-down spot at the end of the game That sounds like an excuse but if you were at the game you know exactly what Irsquom
talking about The kids cer-tainly played well enough to win The Shoemaker game could have gone either way as could the Cove game Irsquove had seasons where the ball bounced our way and we got some breaks but unfortunately this wasnrsquot one of themrdquo
Defensively the team may have struggled and gave up yardage and points But the solid play of defensive line lineback-ers and secondary was there John Harvey Chris Jones Carlton Shanks III Brandon Gangloff Garrison Vaughn CJ Jones DJ Fisher Cody Garrett Reagan Chapman and a host of other defensive players played well against a schedule of solid teams
ldquoWinning is difficult in 6A football regardless of what team you are a part ofrdquo Morgan said ldquoI think the biggest thing moving forward is our guys have to understand the impor-tance of every play in the outcome of a close ball-game There can never be a letdown or lapse in focus in a tight ball game On the bright side the 2015 Tigers never quit and put themselves in situations to win every ball game they played this year
As is the case every sea-son teams lose a good number of seniors to grad-uation The 2016 Belton seniors have meant a great deal to the Belton Tigers football tradition
ldquoTheyrsquove put a lot into this thingrdquo Shipley said ldquoThey bought in and worked their tails off Not many teams across the state have over 100 kids that show up at 545 every morning to work out and our seniors led the wayrdquo

The future need to expand facilities for the projected growth of Belton ISD was discussed by all board members
ldquoInstead of dividing Belton we need to multiply itrdquo said Randy Pittenger presi-dent Belton ISD Board of Trustees Open enrollment no zones and have a smaller bigger and specialized high school and let
the students pick We want to make a deci-sion based on the best interest of the kidsrdquo
ldquoWe will take care of the kids no mat-ter what decision we makerdquo commented Penny Digby vice president Belton ISD Board of Trustees
After the Board of Trustees reconvened to discuss and review the Schools Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas (FIRST) report issued by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) Belton ISD received the highest rating of ldquopassedrdquo on the 2015 report
For the 2015 TEA evaluated school dis-tricts on seven indicators to earn a total of up to thirty points Belton ISD received a perfect score earning all thirty points
At the direction of the legislature TEA began issuing the FIRST report in 2003 This year a new passfail scoring system replaced an earlier system that rated dis-tricts as attaining ldquosuperior achievementrdquo ldquoabove-standard achievementrdquo ldquostandard achievementrdquo or ldquosubstandard achieve-mentrdquo Belton ISD has received the highest available rating on 12 of the 13 reports that have been issued to date
Since 2010 Belton ISD has refunded bonds six times saving taxpayers a total of $75 million
Also included on the agenda were spe-cial recognitions to include student extra-curricular activities Rotary Educator of the MonthQuarter Apple Distinguished

As Kenny Rogers says ldquoYou got to know when to fold lsquoemrdquo The first time I remember pondering that line occurred on August 19 1986 the day Earl Camp-bell announced his retire-ment from the New Orleans Saints That made a big im-pression on me Until that moment I believed I could become just about anything if I wanted
Realistically I could prob-ably never break through an NFL defensive line but I have a good mind and Irsquom a hard worker Earl Campbell taught me you also need a good sense of timing to keep moving forward in life Irsquove been fortunate to put those qualities to good use first as a res-taurant manager then a teacher fol-lowed by time in a corporate cubicle to now as an education consultant And I suppose you could count my work on this column as a fifth career of sorts
There are plenty of examples of folks who stay and play even though the days at the peak of their games
have long gone by Many times knowing when to move on and do the next thing can be tricky but sometimes it can be quite simple As a restaurant manager at age 29 I saw myself quite clearly in the future -- an overweight di-vorced smoker barking or-ders at the hostess from my perch at the bar It was an easy decision to leave that
behind and change jobs Besides I had always wanted to teach Fortu-nately the classroom provided plenty of challenges ndash likely saving both my mental well-being and physical health from disaster
In many cases former athletes continue to contribute publicly by lending their names to worthy causes as speakers and in assisting with fun-draisers Earl Campbell is a leading
spokesperson for research to help those with multiple sclerosis cancer and brain injuries During a speech in Jackson MS in 2014 Campbell said ldquoWe all go through things in life Itrsquos lsquohowrsquo we go through it that matters Itrsquos family itrsquos friends itrsquos our team that gets us there Itrsquos easy to quit and do nothing I refuse to do nothing I keep working to do the best I can do Some people ask what keeps me going My mother didnrsquot quit when my daddy died as she raised 11 kids Why should I quit The military folks in this room they donrsquot quit Why should werdquo
We are all witnesses to the human drama of aging Former sports greats often struggle to make contribu-tions to their teams and continue to receive their customary accolades I love the San Antonio Spurs because itrsquos the one sports team I know that has consistently favored teamwork The top players have made financial

On Retirement
We are lucky to live in Texas I of-ten get the attitude from people that donrsquot live here that there is something negative about living here in Texas Let me set the record straight I have lived here all my life save the few years the military relocated me so I have a fair idea of what being a Texan is all about There is a lot about this great state or country as some might consider it
Well yes we do have some warm days in sum-mer OK hot days How-ever it is no different than the really cold days our yankee neighbors have in their northern states I donrsquot re-call a time when the sun-plow had to move the sunshine from in front of my house so I could go shopping or get to work I also donrsquot remember ever shoveling summer weather from my sidewalk Now in trade for those warm days we get those perfect days
from about later summer through spring The great days are quite welcome as a break from the winter
weather Besides all buildings and every vehicle has air condi-tioning and now the cars start themselves so it can cool down
Since we are essentially a country all our own we also have our own language We say things that donrsquot make sense if you are not from here There is a wide language barrier between a Texan and Bostonian so much so that it might actually require a translator When we give driv-ing directions it makes sense to
Texans but not so much to ldquoforeign-ersrdquo
We also have some of the best food on the planet There is one food named for the state TexMex Obvi-ously a combination based on the regional foods here I donrsquot know of a place with similarly good food or anything named as such like New-Can for a combination of New York
and Canadian foods It just doesnrsquot have that ldquoringrdquo to it Then we also have BBQ here some of the best in the world perhaps the universe This is such a great style of cooking that they have huge competitions for BBQ You donrsquot see those type of contests for boiled cabbage or brus-sels sprouts And donrsquot forget the sea-food
Another great benefit of our cul-ture here is the clothing style Jeans and boots are acceptable for any oc-casion Pressed jeans are just as fancy as dress pants Slip on a black jacket and you are ready for any event I tend to like vests and those are part of the style heritage here I can wear a nice vest in Texas and no one mis-takes me for a waiter Boots are com-fortable and range from durable to quite fashionable I have a couple of pairs that are so soft that I canrsquot imag-ine anything better on my feet And I also have a pair of ostrich skin boots

Every year I have a huge Thanksgiv-ing meal for my entire family I go all out Every year we eat too much and end up at each otherrsquos throats It is this way every year so I have cancelled Thanksgiving at my house Honestly I am relieved but now the whole family is mad at me and my kids are asking me why I know what Thanksgiving is supposed to be but it never turns out that way for my family so why do we do it
K C
Dear KCDid you know that during the holi-
days more people allegedly commit suicide and there are more domestic violence incidents than any other time
of the year I believe in family tradi-tions as long as they serve the purpose
they were intended for As par-ents we tend to forget that our children are absorbing everything that is going on around them even the things we think we are shielding them from Why do we try to shield our kids from things The easy answer is for their pro-tection but the more truthful an-swer is we donrsquot want to explain awkward or difficult things to them if it makes us or somebody else look bad
One of my most favorite Thanksgivings was a day when I had three of my granddaughters all under the age of 10 with me
My husband had to work and their par-ents out of town The girls set the table and we had a very simple meal The table was decorated with sea shells and river rocks We had a red checkered ta-ble cloth and paper towels for napkins
We ate sausage and rice We all shared what we were thankful for and had the best time
We are too hard on ourselves if we are stressed when we try to measure up to the social standards of what the tradi-tional Thanksgiving should be What is wrong with making your own family traditions My son-in-law loves to go hunting Thanksgiving weekend They have a fabulous meal usually on paper plates Whatrsquos wrong with that
I hope you and your family have your best Thanksgiving ever and make new traditions that you can look forward to and not dread every year Make it whatever you would really like for it to be We live in a wonderful blessed country That in and of itself is reason to be happy on Thanksgiving without all the fuss

Thanksgiving is much more than a big meal with family and friends Itrsquos a time to reflect on and be thankful for all of the good things you have Even with all of the uncertainty and turmoil in the world you have so much to be thank-ful for Itrsquos important to be grateful not just on Thanksgiving but each and every day Rather than la-menting what you feel is lacking in your life begin each new day by develop-ing an attitude of gratitude Take inventory of your blessings and you will be surprised at just how much you have to be thankful for
If you have enough to eat a place to live a way to get around people who care about you or people you care about then you are wealthy If you lack any of these elements you must still be grateful for what you do have while striv-ing to obtain whatever is absent
Focus on all positive as-pects of your life Take nothing for granted Every morning recharge your ap-preciation Be happy for everything there is not upset over what you feel is missing
Dreams of the future shouldnrsquot diminish appre-ciation for the present If all you do is concentrate on
what you want you wonrsquot enjoy today Donrsquot be jeal-ous of others what they do or have has no bearing on you
You can feel bitter or resentful for a variety of reasons Perhaps you feel something is missing from your life things arenrsquot going your way or you have been treated unfairly You may wonder ldquoWhy do these things always happen to merdquo
Lifersquos problems tend to dominate your thoughts turning your focus to what you feel is wrong You may start to resent those who appear to be better off Yoursquore apt to dwell on things you think would make your life better if you had them If only you had more money more time a bigger house a different car a different job a differ-ent boss had picked a dif-ferent career etc
Once your attitude be-comes one of deficiency in-stead of abundance and ap-preciation you can become overwhelmed by feelings of frustration and feel like a victim As this happens a consuming vicious cycle starts
Being bitter or resentful blows situations out of pro-portion People who are

There are certain time honoured phrases that are trite and worn out Most of us donrsquot like to hear them but they keep around because they are still very true The great-est of these trite but true statements to me is this ldquoJesus is the answerrdquo I remember as a kid people would say that and I could find no direct nor indirect way that Jesus was connected to my day to day issues When I was younger it was mainly with relationship and work issues By work I mean school work but work translates fairly well across our age groups I had real issues fitting in in middle school I didnrsquot fit neatly into the defined groups at school but fell a bit between the cracks And someone would say as I didnrsquot fit in ldquoJesus is the answerrdquo Really Was Jesus going to make me
popular (this is what I thought I wanted) Was Jesus going to take up pen and paper and do well on my tests for me
My issue or problem was that if Jesus is the an-swer perhaps I was ask-ing the wrong questions What questions we ask is a very important matter
you see I was al-ways before look-ing for Jesus to be like a lucky rabbits foot or perhaps a genie in a bottle When I needed help that suited my needs I would call and like a cosmic butler I expected Him to appear grant my wishes and then go away
My questions for Jesus were all about me But I have come to understand that the issue might be my questions
Jesus is almighty God existing from all eternity and all things that have been made were

How Can the Fedrsquos Actions Affect You
Scot HrbacekFinancial Advisor3011 N Main Ste CBelton TX 76513(254) 933-7680scothrbacekedwardjonescomMember SIPC
The Federal Reserve may soon raise short-term interest rates What would a rate hike mean to you as an individual investor
For one thing if you own bonds be aware that their price could fall ndash bond prices typically move in the opposite direction of interest rates Longer-term bonds may see more drastic price drops so make sure these bonds donrsquot make up too large a percentage of your fixed-income portfolio
You could also build a bond ladder consisting of short- and long-term bonds and other fixed-rate vehicles such as certificates of deposit When interest rates rise as may be the case soon you can reinvest your maturing short-term bonds and CDs at the higher rates And when market rates are low yoursquoll still have your longer-term bonds which usually pay higher rates working for you Make sure the bonds or CDs in your ladder are consistent with your investment objectives
Concentrate on those things you can control such as building a diversified portfolio that reflects your goals risk tolerance and time horizon This type of focus can help you ndash no matter where interest rates are headed

I know that some people like living in large cities for the cultural and social bene-fits I can see that but some-times you need open spaces I have on a few occasions been out under the open sky and seen the Milky Way in such a bright and fantastic way that it was beyond de-scription Not just seeing it in a dark sky but seeing the fullness from one horizon to the other There is no way to take in that view from the middle of a city Actually there are not many places dark enough at night and flat enough to let the full-ness of all the stars to shine through
We have great scenery as well We go from beaches on the ocean to forests to even mountains Granted the mountains arenrsquot really the snowy peaks like the Rock-ies We do get snow and if you wanted to cross coun-try ski you could travel for many miles in west Texas on a snowy day without going up or down a hill
Living in a place like Bel-ton can be unique There are few places in the world where people are as friendly as Texas and most of the south Being in a small town seems to help people be neighborly as well Perhaps it is seeing the same people a lot or knowing that we all share a nice town along the creek We speak and hold doors open and just enjoy the benefits of being Texans We can follow our noses to some great food travel a few miles to the beach get lost in the forest or when you really need to let go just step outside on a clear night and look at all the stars in the sky That is one way to clear your head another way is a good full plate of Tex-Mex

ldquoClem Mikeskarsquos has been in Belton for about 10 years nowrdquo said Anna Mikeska Payne ldquoWersquove received requests for a bigger build-ing because wersquove grown so much we are running out of tables to seat everybody Clem Mikeskas is expanding as a response to customer demandrdquo
Clem Mikeskarsquos has always been a great venue as a social gathering place as well as a family establishment Clem
Mikeskarsquos has been a won-derful place to make a new friend and have a sit down dinner with your family As a result of the expansion Clem Mikeskarsquos is only going to become a better place to enjoy a meal with friends and family
ldquoWe want to make Clem Mikeskarsquos a great family establishment We want it to be a place where you can meet new people and enjoy the food and the funrdquo said Mikeska Payne ldquoAs a part of the expansion we are going to be adding a bar that will be serving draft beers only as well as some wine We will be adding new tables and chairs but we will also add nine new TVrsquos We want Clem Mikeskarsquos to be a place people can come and enjoy a football game or basketball game and have a good beer as well as come after a foot-ball or basketball or baseball gamerdquo

There is no point to feel-ing bitter since it accom-plishes nothing harms you and makes things worse Filling yourself with grati-tude on a daily basis makes you feel good while driving out negative feelings
Begin your practice of gratitude each morning as soon as you wake Every day is a great day If you have any doubts try miss-ing one Take inventory of everything no matter how small or seemingly insignif-icant that is good in your
lifeIf it helps make a writ-
ten list of all things you are grateful for Read your list every day As you do this you will build and reinforce your attitude of gratitude Donrsquot waste any time with what you feel you donrsquot have
Keep things in perspec-tive Consider all the peo-ple who have overcome difficulties far worse than yours Donrsquot be consumed by your problems there is always a solution Main-taining an attitude of grati-tude allows your mind to devise a resolution for your circumstances
Make everyday a day of Thanksgiving and you will be amazed how much better your life will become

on seven indicators with the possibility of earning up to 30 points Belton ISD received a per-fect score earning all 30 points
At the direction of the legislature TEA began issuing the FIRST report in 2003 This year a new passfail scoring system replaced an earlier sys-tem that rated districts as attaining ldquosuperior achievementrdquo ldquoabove-standard achievementrdquo
ldquostandard achievementrdquo or ldquosubstandard achieve-mentrdquo Belton ISD has received the highest avail-able rating on 12 of the 13 reports that have been issued to date

Santa Pal Blue Santa returns to Morganrsquos Point Resort
By David TumaThe Belton Journal
Tim Bower found his love after football Some football players go back to coaching or into business of some sort The discipline of the sport pays off in the business world for many young men in Texas Many businesses in Belton to this day are run by ex-football players the same is true for Temple or most towns that have a football team
Bower more than likely is going to spend the rest of his life working on a ranch of some sort That is really what he would like to do This past summer he worked at the Philmont Scout Ranch taking scouts on trail rides Tim is an Eagle Scout and has been to the ranch several times while in the scouts
The Philmont is near Cimarron New Mexico just east of Taos Bower worked with young scouts on two hour trail rides daily Bad weather conditions tend to slow things down or have the ride can-celed
ldquoThere were kids from the big
cities that were scared to death of the horse at first Some of them had never seen a horse in person They picked it up real quick After two hours on that first ride the inside of the knees got real sorerdquo said Bower
There is a difference between hik-ing in the mountains and riding a horse Walking in the mountains you have to spend a lot of time watching your feet You are either going up or down and usually there is a drop off Some kids have been near a horse some havenrsquot There is more to a trail ride with kids than
what you would think Both horse and rider need to be compatible
Bower and the other trail boss-es would start saddling the 18-25 horses at 5 am The ride would start at 8 am They gave a demon-stration of what to do
ldquoWe tried to assign the kids a horse that was a match to the personality of both You walk the horse around
with the kid on board Then you adjust the stirups and the cinch When you ride you see so much more of the beauty of the moun-tains We had kids from Chicago that had never seen a horse before There are four different camps that offer ridesrdquo said Bower
There were two wranglers for every 15 riders Bower also got to go on several 5-day rides one of the camps offer Each night they camped in the mountains From listening to Bower it was hard to tell who had more fun the scouts or him
The ranch he worked on is a huge place totaling over 127000 acres and 214 square miles Craig Bower took Tim his son to the camp twice in 2006 and 2008
ldquoI told my dad I wanted to work on the ranch I donrsquot remember that but he did I wake up to a beautiful sunrise and elk It gets cold here but being from Texas makes it hard to judge what is cold We worked with a girl from Chicago and she said it was okay I still think it was cold My favorite memories are from this ranch I did get to scout from some Elk right before I left Being 30-yards from a bull elk is awesomerdquo said Bower
He broke two smart phones early in his work on the ranch He switched to flip phones ldquoYou donrsquot need all that fancy Facebook stuff up thererdquo said Bower He plans to go back again and again he intends to do some hunting with his family
He has also won a buckle at a rodeo held at a local town near the ranch During one of the competi-tions he thought he cracked a rib Tim won the buckle after a quick call to his father to make sure it was a broken rib It was the final event he participated in

Is your charity effectiveSpecial to the Journal
Donors give to charity throughout the year but the charity watchdog group Charity Navigator reports that around 40 percent of donors make their annual contributions between Thanksgiving and New Yearrsquos Day No matter when one gives the decision to support a charity should never be made lightly Some people choose to donate to charities that focus on causes that resonate with them Emotional feelings can drive donation deci-sions but itrsquos important to do some research into the charitable organization to determine how ef-ficiently the charity operates and how effective the organization ultimately is at fulfilling its mission Look at how much of your money actually goes to-ward the cause you are supporting paying atten-tion to how the organization allocates donations The majority of donation dollars should go to the cause and not toward organizational overhead Here are some questions to ask before selecting a charity
middot Does the charity address the most serious problems in the most cost-effective ways
middot How much money is devoted to overhead ver-sus program outreach
middot Are the charityrsquos interventions really workingmiddot Will this charity help the greatest number of
people with your donationmiddot Is the organization honest and transparentIndividuals can make use of resources made
available by the Better Business Bureau Charity Navigator and GiveWell to see if charities meet their criteria

The Body of Christ Community Clinic has joined in a growing international movement called GivingTuesday This is a desig-nated day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individu-als communities and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity worldwide The day itself falls on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving each year meaning the actual GivingTuesday for 2015 falls on December 1
The Body of Christ Clinic is part-nering with several local businesses and organizations to celebrate gen-erosity and promote giving on three separate TuesdaysmdashNovember 17th and 24th and December 1st (the global GivingTuesday date)
On November 17th our partner
Grand Avenue Theater in Belton will be offering $5 movies all day and a percentage of all their con-cession sales will be donated to the Clinic
On that same day the University of Mary Hardin Baylor will kick off a GivingThanks initiative in con-junction with our GivingTuesday effort Students will be able to write something for which they are grateful on a large poster and take a photograph of themselves with the poster They will also be encour-aged to make a donation to the Clinic and take another selfie this time called an ldquounselfierdquo as they make a charitable contribution
The Body of Christ Community Clinic is a team of local volun-teers committed to carrying out the compassionate healing ministry of Christ by providing personalized quality health services to the medi-cally underserved in the greater Belton and Salado ISD areas Our Vision is to be recognized as a Christ-Centered healthcare pro-vider enabling all in our commu-nity to achieve healthy living in mind body and spirit There is a great need for health services in
our community as poverty levels and uninsured rates are both high especially among minority popula-tions
Over 100 volunteers staff the Clinic rotating their services to cover the hours of operation These include doctors dentists nurses physician assistants dental assistants hygienists social work-ers and clerical techs The only paid positions are those of a full time Executive Director a part- time nurse practitioner (5hrs) a week and patient scheduler (3hrs) The Clinic is a 501 (c) (3) not for profit organization and finan-cial support for the Clinic comes from area churches and individual donors The Clinic receives no fed-eral or state funding The Clinic has been in operation for five years All the volunteers at the Clinic are men and women dedicated to expressing love and compassion to those without access to medical and dental care

By Tony AdamsSports Editor
The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor football team blew open a tight game with 60 consecu-tive points and the Cru rolled to a 67-20 victory over East Texas Baptist Saturday afternoon at Crusader Stadium in Belton
UMHB clinched a share of the American Southwest Conference title by handing the Tigers their first conference loss and sets up a tri-cham-pionship with UMHB ETBU and Hardin-Simmons
UMHB grabbed a 7-0 lead when Zach Anderson threw a 38-yard touch-down pass to DeNerian Thomas on the Crursquos first
offensive play UMHB forced a punt on ETBUrsquos ensuing possession but fumbled the ball away to
the Tigers on the Crursquos 13-yard line Kendall Roberson scored on a nine-yard run three play-ers later but ETBU missed the extra point to leave UMHB with a 7-6 lead Wykeyhe Walker hauled in a 23-yard TD pass from Anderson Malcom Miller scored on a one-yard run on the next Cru possession and Anderson

It was a crazy opening night to the 2015 Texas UIL Class 6A-Region I Bi-District Playoffs at Homer B Johnson Stadium in Garland Friday night as the Belton Tigers traveled to take on the Rowlett Eagles
From the opening kick-off to the final whistle the game was track meet of epic proportions In the end the Tigers were unable to stop the Eagles
late and were stopped on a last-ditch effort inside the final minute Rowlett advanced to the area round against Dallas Skyline with a 65-64 win over Belton
The Tigers ended their season 5-6
Belton took the open-ing kickoff and performed some trickeration as Davion Peoples pitched the ball to Olajuwon Taylor after receiving the ball Taylor went 40 yards to start the Tigers on their own 40-yard line Peoples
ran the first play from scrimmage for 15 yards and the third play for 17 yards The plays set up a field goal of 37 yards from Roberto Barrios to give the Tigers a 3-0 lead with 1006 to play in the first quarter
Rowlett answered the score with a touch-down of 26 yards from Logan Bonner to LaDarius Pickens Alvin Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 7-3 lead with 722 to play in the opening stanza
Carlton Shanks III took a pooch kick by the Eagles 57 yards to the Rowlett 8 to set up Peoplesrsquo eight-yard run on the next play A bad snap caused holder Anthony Mirabel to pull in the ball and break for the right pylon Mirabel appeared to have made it to the inside of the pylon by the replay but the ref-eree claimed he went out of bounds and called the conversion attempt no good Belton led 9-7 lead with 702 to go in the first quarter
One of the Rowlett returners was rocked by a hit and fumbled but one of the Eagles recovered the ball on the Rowlett 33 Bonner connected with Quinton Stinson for a 63-yard pass comple-tion down to the Belton 2 Bonner snuck the ball into the end zone on the next play Chris Luplowrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 14-9 lead with 641 to go in the quarter
Belton took the next possession down to the Rowlett 45 but turned
the ball over on downs when Peoples was stopped at the Rowlett 44 on fourth down and three The Eagles took the ball and drove it down to the Belton 7 Great defen-sive plays by Garrison Vaughn Bryan Thomas and John Harvey kept the ball out of the end zone forcing the Eagles to settle for a Kenworthy 23-yard field goal Rowlett led 17-9 with 227 left in the first period

Kobe Morrowrsquos 51-yard run set up Rowlettrsquos next score Bonner had 13 yards of completions and Morrowrsquos plunge in from a yard out put six more points up for the Eagles
Luplowrsquos extra-point made the score 37-23 with 42 seconds to go in the half
Belton unfazed from the drive got a bril-liant pass completion from Mansell to Collins that was tipped for a 46-yard completion to the Rowlett 16 After a Belton timeout the Tigers continued to drive the ball down to the goal line With one second remaining in the half Mansell found Taylor for a 3-yard touchdown pass Barriosrsquo extra-point made the score 37-30 at halftime
Belton got a defen-sive stand to start the third quarter as Shanks Vaughn and Chris Jones made three stops in a row on Bonner and forced Rowlett to punt
The Tigers got the ball at midfield to start their first second-half posses-sion Mansellrsquos 30-yard run set the table for his own 1-yard touchdown run to cap off the 8-play 50-yard drive Barriosrsquo extra-point tied the score at 37-37
On the next play from scrimmage Morrow took a delayed hand off waited for a hole to open burst through it and dashed 74 yards for a Rowlett score Luplowrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 44-37 lead with 813 to
go in the third quarterAnother good return

recovered the onside kick at the Rowlett 33 and started back to workFollowing a three-yard pass from Mansell to Bubba Marshall Peoples burst around end and raced 30 yards to give the Tigers the lead 50-44 Barriosrsquo extra-point try sailed wide left keeping the Tigers in the lead by six
Bonnerrsquos pass to Lewis for 10 yards set up a 53-yard option pitch run by Morrow down to the Belton 3 Kofi McDonald and Brandon Gangloff made huge stops to force third down Morrow pounded the ball into the end zone and Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave the Eagles a one-point lead with 129 to
play in the third quarter 51-50
After a short kickoff by Rowlett Demeatric Brandon busted off a 49-yard run down the sidelines to the Rowlett 15 Peoplesrsquo ran the ball in for a touchdown on the next play to give Belton to lead once again The Tigers lined up for a two-point conversion and Rowlett called time-out right before the play Belton trotted the point-after team back on and tried for an extra point which sailed wide right The Tigers led 56-51 with 56 seconds left in
the third quarterAfter a great special
teams play by Harvey the Eagles started their next drive at their own 28-yard line Rowlett drove the ball down to the Belton 41 and were forced into a fourth and two situation Bonner dropped back to pass and Vaughn stepped in front of the receiver at the Belton 2 and intercepted the ball with 950 left on the fourth quarter clock
Peoples always up for big-game plays busted off one of the biggest runs in recent Tiger his-tory He took the hand off Mansell made three jukes broke into the open and raced 98 yards for an electrifying Tiger score The two-point
conversion was good and the Tiger fans cheered on the effort as Belton led by 13 points 64-51 with 933 to play
Rowlett answered the call again putting together a 64-yard drive capped by a 24-yard pass from Bonner to Morrow Luplowrsquos extra-point made the score 64-58 with 714 to go
Belton got the ball back at their own 18-yard line and ended up in a third and six situation at their own 22-yard line Mansell scrambled towards the Rowlett sidelines looking for an open man He ended up out of bounds on a hard hit and was down for a couple of moments Belton had to send out backup punter Lutz to kick the ball away on fourth down The ball went off the side of his foot and Rowlett ended up with great field posi-tion at the Belton 41
Shanks and Jones made two good defensive stops on the first two plays of Rowlettrsquos next drive Bonner found Dickens for a 11-yard comple-tion for a first down and put the Eagles in striking distance again On third down and two on the Belton 8 Bonner scrambled around the right side and got the benefit of a hold from Rowlettrsquos right tackle in front of the referee as he went in for the score Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett the lead 65-64 with 233 to play in the game
Belton started to move the ball down the field on their final drive Peoples had two rushes for eight yards and Brandon bust-ed off a 12-yard run On second down and 10 at the Rowlett 30 the Tigers drew a critical holding call which set them back 10 yards On the next play Mansell threw the ball towards Taylor who was being held for 10 yards by the jersey by the safety The pass was incomplete and no call was made On third down and 20 at the Rowlett 40 Mansell
found Taylor open for a split second over the middle and threw a pass high towards him Taylor was grabbed as he attempted to make the catch and could not make the catch The back judge deemed the ball uncatch-able though Taylorrsquos fingertips appeared to touch the ball On fourth down Mansell scram-bled to find to open man and ran across the field and let a pass go that was short of the target The Tigers had to turn it over on downs with 43 seconds left Rowlett knelt the ball twice and ended the Tigersrsquo season in heartbreaking fashion
It was a bittersweet pill for the Tigers to take as they were turnover-free in the game and had a 13-point lead with 933 to play
ldquoIrsquom proud of the teamrdquo Belton head coach Bob Shipley said ldquoThey just fought and fought the entire game Either team deserved to win Both teams deserved to win Only one could win Yoursquore up 64-51 in the fourth quarter and we just had a tough time stopped them all night They had a really good scheme and really good offense We made some good stops and made the onside kick We were going to run the onside kick whether we got that 15-yard penalty or not There are a lot of situ-ations during the game that could have been the difference in the game The situation I was most disappointed in was that we couldnrsquot get a first down after they scored (with Belton leading 64-58) We shanked the punt and they scored We couldnrsquot get it donerdquo
Despite coming up a point short at the end Shipley was proud of the Tigersrsquo efforts
ldquoI really wanted them to hold up the gold foot-ball and win for our seniors a championship of some sortrdquo Shipley said ldquoBut it didnrsquot hap-pen I know that they laid the foundation to build on for next yearrdquo

Tigers Football sub-varsity teams successful in 2015
LOICONTINUED FROM C1
By Tony AdamsSports Editor
Much in the way of the past two seasons the Belton Tigersrsquo sub-varsity experienced great success in the 2015 season
The five sub-varsity teams went a combined 34-10-1 outscoring teams 1178-541
Thatrsquos an average score of 26-12 A two-touch-down differential com-bined up and down the ranks is an impressive one
The crown jewel in the season was the Belton JV Red team finishing with a perfect 10-0 record Outscoring teams 389-88 the nearest team came to within just 16 points of the Tigers
ldquoThis was a real-ly good group to work withrdquo Belton coach Mike Morgan said ldquoOne of the big selling points to the kids was that they had a tremendous opportunity to go out and compete each week As the season progressed and the team kept winning we talked about the opportunity to be perfect as a team There is never a perfect
play in a game and never a perfect game it is not possible But a team has the opportunity to have a perfect season and that is what the JV Red was able to accomplish They are a very unselfish group of players and they bought in that if they played extremely hard and did their job then they would have a great chance to be successfulrdquo
The Belton JV White team finished 6-2 against tough competition as well outscoring the oppo-sition 181-112 Though games against Stony Point (weather) and Ellison (JV teams merged) were cancelled coach Jason Moffett and his staff worked hard with their players to guide them towards success
ldquoWe try to find ways to really make the White Team importantrdquo Moffett said ldquoWe try not to allow our guys to think of themselves as ldquoBrdquo Team players We want to win ball games and be district champs no matter what the level We spend a lot of time coaching these guys I think a lot more than some other teams in
our area I saw improve-ment defensively over the course of the year in terms of alignment assignment and tacklingrdquo
The Belton Freshman Red team finished 7-3 outscoring opponents 273-146 A few of the freshmen were called up to junior varsity through-out the season
ldquoFreshmen improved from the start of camp all the way until the last game of the yearrdquo Belton coach Al Maxwell said ldquoThe improvement was most evident in the physi-cal condition and most importantly the mental toughness of the team as a wholerdquo
The Freshman White team was two points from a perfect season in their own rights (a late-season loss to Midway 29-27) having gone 9-1 in 2015 outscoring opponents 269-94
The Freshman Gray team played just a 7-game schedule and finished 2-4-1 having been out-scored 101-66 Most of the players were brought up to Freshman Red and Freshman White at the completion of the sched-
uleldquoThe guys achieved
good things this foot-ball season by winning 18 games and compet-ing with three teamsrdquo Maxwell said ldquoThe guysrsquo mental toughness was on display each game and showed when games became tough and crowds were hostile The guys did very this season and will look to win a district championship next sea-sonrdquo
The key to the success of the Tigers sub-varsity programs is the work that the players put in and the coaching staff and how they coach It is a uni-formed system up and down the ranks
ldquoWe spend a lot of time as coaches with our sub-varsity teamsrdquo Belton head football coach Bob Shipley said ldquoI canrsquot imagine any sub-varsi-ty teams in our district who get more individual coaching from varsity coaches than our kids do The JV kids have to be scout team players of course but we spend a lot of time with them out-side of varsity practice They are well-prepared
every week If you want to change a culture and have kids expecting to win you have to invest a lot of time in them before they are varsity players Our kids are learning how to win for sure Irsquove had kids tell me several times that they never won more than a game or two in middle school and they love win-ning in high school That lets us know that itrsquos all worth itrdquo
The talent is so abun-dant in the Belton sub-varsity system that the varsity team is able to bring up players to add to their depth and keep the junior varsity and fresh-man teams very competi-tive Although there are too many potential names to name players to watch in particular over the next season or two or three Shipley believes that the
10th grade season for a football player is one of the most critical seasons
ldquoThere are several JV players we expect to start for us next yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoIt should be that way every year We only had 2 sophomore players on varsity the majority of the season I think 10th grade is a critical time for players They need to be playing as much as pos-sible If theyrsquore going to be on varsity as sophomores they need to be starting because theyrsquore not get-ting any better standing on the sidelines They need to be getting every snap on Thursday nights so they can continue to develop as players and improverdquo
Congratulations to all five teams on a successful 2015 season

2015 Tiger Football had explosiveness excitement
By Tony AdamsSports Editor
The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor football team will make its 12th straight NCAA Division III National Championships appear-ance and its 14th in the last 15 years after the Cru earned an at-large bid to the postseason with the announcement of the 32-team field Sunday evening
UMHB will open the postseason on the road with a First Round rematch with American Southwest Conference rival Hardin-Simmons University That game will kick off at 1200 PM at Shelton Stadium in Abilene The game will be broadcast on K1017 FM with the pre-game show starting at 1130 AM on Saturday
Both teams will advance to the postsea-son as at-large selections with 9-1 over records and 4-1 marks in ASC play Hardin-Simmons won the regular season meeting between the two teams 29-26 three weeks ago in Abilene snapping UMHBrsquos 61-game regular sea-son winning streak and 39-game ASC win streak in the process Ryan Breton had 284 yards passing 223 of those to the speedy Jessie Ramos Kerry Sloan had 108 yards on 25 carries for the Cowboys
Zach Anderson and Blake Jackson went a combined 14-of-25 passing for 172 yards Malcolm Miller had 113 yards rushing on 23 carries and Duane Thompson added 49 yards on 13 carries
The two teams will be meeting for the fourth time in the postseason and the 22nd time over-all The Cru has won each of the previous three postseason meet-ings between these two programs and holds a 15-6 all-time edge in the series
ldquoIt feels awesome to be selected and we really did have to sweat it out this seasonrdquo Cru head coach Pete Fredenburg said ldquoIt makes you real-ize what a fragile exis-tence you have in the playoffs and I feel an obligation to make sure we do everything we can to make the most of this opportunity I think the playersrsquo reaction shows that they are excited to be back in the playoffs and we hope that the excitement carries on into our practice and preparation for a big ball game next week-endrdquo
Anderson crossed the 2000-yard passing mark against East Texas Baptist He is 125-of-204 for 2041 yards 19 touchdowns against just four interceptions He also has 247 yards rushing and seven touchdowns Jackson is inserted into the ball-game in certain pack-ages and his numbers are good going 34-of-67 passing for 451 yards six touchdowns against two interceptions while running for 263 yards
and three touchdownsThe ldquorunning back
by committeerdquo pro-cess has worked for the Crusaders in 2015 While the Cru has run for 2593 yards in 10 games this season there are just two running backs over 500 yards Miller with 563 yards on 111 carries with 12 scores and Thompson with 538 yards on 98 totes and six touchdowns Michael Carpenter (48-275 3 TDs) Jackson Anderson Sterling Scott (16-180 3 TDs) and third-string quarterback Zane Boles (20-134 2 TDs) are all over 100 yards rushing for the season
Wykeyhe Walker (42 receptions 778 yards 11 TDs) is UMHBrsquos leading receiver Marcus Wimby (33-540 2 TDs) DeNerian Thomas (30-344 5 TDs) Justin Brumfield (18-189 TD) and Robbie Seybold (10-210) are all viable options are wide receiv-er and tight end for Anderson and Jackson
Breton (108-of-162 1744 yards 20 TDs 3 INT) and Weston Garner (70-of-91 1048 yards 9 TDs 2 INT) navigate the Cowboysrsquo offense with Sloan (164-789 9 TD) getting the bulk of the carries
Ramos gets the major-ity of the looks at wide receiver (75 catches for 1443 yards 16 TDs 192 yards-per-catch) and is dangerous as a punt and kick returner He has 330 yards on 17 punt returns and two touchdowns to go with four kick returns for 130 yards and a touchdown
UMHBrsquos defense is one of the best in the
country with 19 inter-ceptions 49 sacks 122 tackles for 507 yards lost nine forced fum-bles and 11 recovered fumbles Trey Thedford leads the defense with 83 tackles Teidrick Smith has 47 tackles includ-ing a team-leading 21 tackles for 116 yards lost and a team-leading 14 sacks Jon Isom has 165 tackles for loss and is second on the team in sacks with 11 Baylor Mullins Raylon Hickey and Reggie Wilson each have four interceptions

Hardin-Simmons is in the postseason for sev-enth time overall but made the playoffs for the first time since 2008 Hardin-Simmons is 4-6 all-time in the NCAA Division III National Championships and the Cowboys advanced to the National Semifinals in 2000 The winner of the UMHBHSU game will advance to play the winner of the Hunt ingdonHendr ix opening round game The host team for the Second Round will be announced next Sunday afternoon

By Tony AdamsSports Editor
Last Friday nightrsquos bi-dis-trict playoff game between the Belton Tigers and the Rowlett Eagles was loaded with ups and downs There were so many great perfor-mances including Davion Peoples scoring rushing touchdowns on three con-secutive scores including his school record-breaking 98-yard run on his way to a 200-plus yard rushing night and Peyton Mansellrsquos ability to navigate the Tigers up and down the field
ldquoObviously we did some good things offensivelyrdquo Belton head coach Bob Shipley said ldquoWe didnrsquot turn the ball over which we knew would be key The offensive line did a good job most of the night and of course we had some receivers come up with some big plays I thought Peyton (Mansell) played really well especially for his first playoff gamerdquo
ldquoOffensively our kids did a great job execut-ing the game plan we preached all week that we couldnrsquot have that lull on offense that we have had from time to timerdquo Belton offensive coordinator Sam Skidmore said ldquoThe offen-sive line controlled the line of scrimmage DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) did a great job seeing the holes running well and blocking Peyton did it through the air and on the ground and really stepped up and led the entire receiving corps did a great job I think almost everyone had a catch and did a great job blocking as wellrdquo
As heartbreaking as the
loss was it was the high mark for points scored in a game this season and set a school record for points in a season with 452 There was absolutely no quit in the 48 minutes
ldquoDefensively it was just a long nightrdquo Shipley said ldquoWe made a couple of stops but didnrsquot in the fourth quarter when we had too They were very athletic and had a great quarterback I thought our kids fought so hard and Irsquom proud of them for that My only disappointment offensively were penalties that hurt our field position and the inability to get first downs when we had the lead in the fourth quarterrdquo
ldquoVery impressed with the resiliency our kids showedrdquo Belton special teams coach Mike Morgan said ldquoIt was a very emotional game and our kids kept responding over and over againrdquo
Ramonce Taylor was on the sidelines for the last couple of games and has been very encouraging towards the team He was so happy for Peoples when he broke his school record for the longest run
ldquoRamonce has been to several games this yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoItrsquos always great to see him and have him giving our kids point-ers I donrsquot think anyone would argue that he has to be one of the greatest athletes to ever represent Belton High School Hersquos back in school and wants to be a coach After seeing the way our kids respond to him I think hersquod be a great onerdquo
ldquoWe were very glad to have Ramonce on the side-linerdquo Skidmore said ldquoThe kids can relate and he was encouraging the kids being
involved and I know our kids enjoyed him being aroundrdquo
When discussing with the coaches the bi-district playoff game outcomes the 10-7 Shoemaker win over Sachse was a surprise to many in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex But to the Belton staff it wasnrsquot
ldquoI knew Shoemaker had a good defense but I was a little surprised by the scorerdquo Shipley said ldquoSachse has playmakers all over the field I think it shows people that our district can compete with any district in the state Every school has a great coaching staff Irsquove been very impressed with the coaches in our district and of course the athletes we see week in and week out are amazingrdquo
ldquoNo I expected Shoemaker to give them fits the match up of Kendall Jones on Sachsersquos center was going play big in favor of Shoemakerrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAlso Shoemakerrsquos overall defensive speed and tenacity gave Sachse fits I donrsquot know for sure but Irsquom assuming Shoemakerrsquos defensive line and front seven was disruptive all night against Sachsersquos offensive linerdquo
ldquoShoemaker was not a surprise at allrdquo Morgan said ldquoHolding Sachse to zero offensive touchdowns was quite an accomplish-ment But the unit that Shoemaker is able to put on the field defensively will probably not be appreci-ated until all of those guys have graduated Midway performed about like I thought they would Aside from the early season loss-es they have been a very good team the last eight weeksrdquo
The Tigers had a great season despite a 5-6 record There were highlights and lowlights as every season has
ldquoThe two games at Killeen were exciting but I think the way our kids came out and played against Hendrickson and Stony Point was a highlight for the regular seasonrdquo Shipley said ldquoThose teams beat us badly last year and our kids showed that we are a different team this year I was also proud of the way we came out against Midway as well It was a far cry from last year when we were never in the gamerdquo
ldquoI thought our offense made great strides this yearrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAt times we were very explo-sive and put up good num-bers The offensive line played well all year Shack was a great leader and it was awesome to see the prog-ress of Jerrod (Jackson) Javon (Chambers) (Jacob) Dumas and Caleb Smith Jaylin Bryant You couldnrsquot have asked for a better 1-2 punch than DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) Those two had great seasons Peyton (Mansell) got better every game he was a real leader and battled every game The leadership and tenac-ity to win he showed was impressive The receiv-ers got better all year and Olajuwon (Taylor) step-ping up and making plays all year long was hugerdquo
ldquoThe 2015 Tigers were a great bunch to coachrdquo Morgan said ldquoThere were times we had it rolling in all three phases of the game and times when we were one or two first downs or one or two stops away from breaking close games
open With all of the offen-sive skill kids who had to be replaced from 2014 I was very proud of the way new guys developed and became such weapons offensively It all started and ended with the out-standing play of our offen-sive line and tight end I thought Zach Shackelford lead that group to being very good and new coach Jacob Hunter did an out-standing job as well Most disappointing was the early season struggles of our punt team and the impact it had on our Hendrickson Stony Point and Copperas Cove losses Kickers Roberto Barrios and Ryan Smith were very effective and improved dramatically from seasonrsquos start to endrdquo
Belton led in every game this season and five of the six losses came within the final minute (a total of 16 points in those five games) Things happen in foot-ball and this team could have finished with a 2-8 record and as good as 10-1 They set a school record for points in a season (452 in 11 games shattering the 1993 record of 425 in 1993 in 12 games)
ldquoWe had a lot of tough breaks this yearrdquo Shipley added ldquoI think the clock malfunctioning at Hendrickson had an effect on the outcome of the game Hendrickson scored two touchdowns in the sec-ond quarter that Irsquom not sure they would have had time to score if the clock was working properly I really feel that the Stony Point game came down to the fourth-down spot at the end of the game That sounds like an excuse but if you were at the game you know exactly what Irsquom
talking about The kids cer-tainly played well enough to win The Shoemaker game could have gone either way as could the Cove game Irsquove had seasons where the ball bounced our way and we got some breaks but unfortunately this wasnrsquot one of themrdquo
Defensively the team may have struggled and gave up yardage and points But the solid play of defensive line lineback-ers and secondary was there John Harvey Chris Jones Carlton Shanks III Brandon Gangloff Garrison Vaughn CJ Jones DJ Fisher Cody Garrett Reagan Chapman and a host of other defensive players played well against a schedule of solid teams
ldquoWinning is difficult in 6A football regardless of what team you are a part ofrdquo Morgan said ldquoI think the biggest thing moving forward is our guys have to understand the impor-tance of every play in the outcome of a close ball-game There can never be a letdown or lapse in focus in a tight ball game On the bright side the 2015 Tigers never quit and put themselves in situations to win every ball game they played this year
As is the case every sea-son teams lose a good number of seniors to grad-uation The 2016 Belton seniors have meant a great deal to the Belton Tigers football tradition
ldquoTheyrsquove put a lot into this thingrdquo Shipley said ldquoThey bought in and worked their tails off Not many teams across the state have over 100 kids that show up at 545 every morning to work out and our seniors led the wayrdquo

As Kenny Rogers says ldquoYou got to know when to fold lsquoemrdquo The first time I remember pondering that line occurred on August 19 1986 the day Earl Camp-bell announced his retire-ment from the New Orleans Saints That made a big im-pression on me Until that moment I believed I could become just about anything if I wanted
Realistically I could prob-ably never break through an NFL defensive line but I have a good mind and Irsquom a hard worker Earl Campbell taught me you also need a good sense of timing to keep moving forward in life Irsquove been fortunate to put those qualities to good use first as a res-taurant manager then a teacher fol-lowed by time in a corporate cubicle to now as an education consultant And I suppose you could count my work on this column as a fifth career of sorts
There are plenty of examples of folks who stay and play even though the days at the peak of their games
have long gone by Many times knowing when to move on and do the next thing can be tricky but sometimes it can be quite simple As a restaurant manager at age 29 I saw myself quite clearly in the future -- an overweight di-vorced smoker barking or-ders at the hostess from my perch at the bar It was an easy decision to leave that
behind and change jobs Besides I had always wanted to teach Fortu-nately the classroom provided plenty of challenges ndash likely saving both my mental well-being and physical health from disaster
In many cases former athletes continue to contribute publicly by lending their names to worthy causes as speakers and in assisting with fun-draisers Earl Campbell is a leading
spokesperson for research to help those with multiple sclerosis cancer and brain injuries During a speech in Jackson MS in 2014 Campbell said ldquoWe all go through things in life Itrsquos lsquohowrsquo we go through it that matters Itrsquos family itrsquos friends itrsquos our team that gets us there Itrsquos easy to quit and do nothing I refuse to do nothing I keep working to do the best I can do Some people ask what keeps me going My mother didnrsquot quit when my daddy died as she raised 11 kids Why should I quit The military folks in this room they donrsquot quit Why should werdquo
We are all witnesses to the human drama of aging Former sports greats often struggle to make contribu-tions to their teams and continue to receive their customary accolades I love the San Antonio Spurs because itrsquos the one sports team I know that has consistently favored teamwork The top players have made financial
On My Honor bull Michael Brown
On Retirement
We are lucky to live in Texas I of-ten get the attitude from people that donrsquot live here that there is something negative about living here in Texas Let me set the record straight I have lived here all my life save the few years the military relocated me so I have a fair idea of what being a Texan is all about There is a lot about this great state or country as some might consider it
Well yes we do have some warm days in sum-mer OK hot days How-ever it is no different than the really cold days our yankee neighbors have in their northern states I donrsquot re-call a time when the sun-plow had to move the sunshine from in front of my house so I could go shopping or get to work I also donrsquot remember ever shoveling summer weather from my sidewalk Now in trade for those warm days we get those perfect days
from about later summer through spring The great days are quite welcome as a break from the winter
weather Besides all buildings and every vehicle has air condi-tioning and now the cars start themselves so it can cool down
Since we are essentially a country all our own we also have our own language We say things that donrsquot make sense if you are not from here There is a wide language barrier between a Texan and Bostonian so much so that it might actually require a translator When we give driv-ing directions it makes sense to
Texans but not so much to ldquoforeign-ersrdquo
We also have some of the best food on the planet There is one food named for the state TexMex Obvi-ously a combination based on the regional foods here I donrsquot know of a place with similarly good food or anything named as such like New-Can for a combination of New York
and Canadian foods It just doesnrsquot have that ldquoringrdquo to it Then we also have BBQ here some of the best in the world perhaps the universe This is such a great style of cooking that they have huge competitions for BBQ You donrsquot see those type of contests for boiled cabbage or brus-sels sprouts And donrsquot forget the sea-food
Another great benefit of our cul-ture here is the clothing style Jeans and boots are acceptable for any oc-casion Pressed jeans are just as fancy as dress pants Slip on a black jacket and you are ready for any event I tend to like vests and those are part of the style heritage here I can wear a nice vest in Texas and no one mis-takes me for a waiter Boots are com-fortable and range from durable to quite fashionable I have a couple of pairs that are so soft that I canrsquot imag-ine anything better on my feet And I also have a pair of ostrich skin boots

Every year I have a huge Thanksgiv-ing meal for my entire family I go all out Every year we eat too much and end up at each otherrsquos throats It is this way every year so I have cancelled Thanksgiving at my house Honestly I am relieved but now the whole family is mad at me and my kids are asking me why I know what Thanksgiving is supposed to be but it never turns out that way for my family so why do we do it
K C
Dear KCDid you know that during the holi-
days more people allegedly commit suicide and there are more domestic violence incidents than any other time
of the year I believe in family tradi-tions as long as they serve the purpose
they were intended for As par-ents we tend to forget that our children are absorbing everything that is going on around them even the things we think we are shielding them from Why do we try to shield our kids from things The easy answer is for their pro-tection but the more truthful an-swer is we donrsquot want to explain awkward or difficult things to them if it makes us or somebody else look bad
One of my most favorite Thanksgivings was a day when I had three of my granddaughters all under the age of 10 with me
My husband had to work and their par-ents out of town The girls set the table and we had a very simple meal The table was decorated with sea shells and river rocks We had a red checkered ta-ble cloth and paper towels for napkins
We ate sausage and rice We all shared what we were thankful for and had the best time
We are too hard on ourselves if we are stressed when we try to measure up to the social standards of what the tradi-tional Thanksgiving should be What is wrong with making your own family traditions My son-in-law loves to go hunting Thanksgiving weekend They have a fabulous meal usually on paper plates Whatrsquos wrong with that
I hope you and your family have your best Thanksgiving ever and make new traditions that you can look forward to and not dread every year Make it whatever you would really like for it to be We live in a wonderful blessed country That in and of itself is reason to be happy on Thanksgiving without all the fuss

Thanksgiving is much more than a big meal with family and friends Itrsquos a time to reflect on and be thankful for all of the good things you have Even with all of the uncertainty and turmoil in the world you have so much to be thank-ful for Itrsquos important to be grateful not just on Thanksgiving but each and every day Rather than la-menting what you feel is lacking in your life begin each new day by develop-ing an attitude of gratitude Take inventory of your blessings and you will be surprised at just how much you have to be thankful for
If you have enough to eat a place to live a way to get around people who care about you or people you care about then you are wealthy If you lack any of these elements you must still be grateful for what you do have while striv-ing to obtain whatever is absent
Focus on all positive as-pects of your life Take nothing for granted Every morning recharge your ap-preciation Be happy for everything there is not upset over what you feel is missing
Dreams of the future shouldnrsquot diminish appre-ciation for the present If all you do is concentrate on
what you want you wonrsquot enjoy today Donrsquot be jeal-ous of others what they do or have has no bearing on you
You can feel bitter or resentful for a variety of reasons Perhaps you feel something is missing from your life things arenrsquot going your way or you have been treated unfairly You may wonder ldquoWhy do these things always happen to merdquo
Lifersquos problems tend to dominate your thoughts turning your focus to what you feel is wrong You may start to resent those who appear to be better off Yoursquore apt to dwell on things you think would make your life better if you had them If only you had more money more time a bigger house a different car a different job a differ-ent boss had picked a dif-ferent career etc
Once your attitude be-comes one of deficiency in-stead of abundance and ap-preciation you can become overwhelmed by feelings of frustration and feel like a victim As this happens a consuming vicious cycle starts
Being bitter or resentful blows situations out of pro-portion People who are

There are certain time honoured phrases that are trite and worn out Most of us donrsquot like to hear them but they keep around because they are still very true The great-est of these trite but true statements to me is this ldquoJesus is the answerrdquo I remember as a kid people would say that and I could find no direct nor indirect way that Jesus was connected to my day to day issues When I was younger it was mainly with relationship and work issues By work I mean school work but work translates fairly well across our age groups I had real issues fitting in in middle school I didnrsquot fit neatly into the defined groups at school but fell a bit between the cracks And someone would say as I didnrsquot fit in ldquoJesus is the answerrdquo Really Was Jesus going to make me
popular (this is what I thought I wanted) Was Jesus going to take up pen and paper and do well on my tests for me
My issue or problem was that if Jesus is the an-swer perhaps I was ask-ing the wrong questions What questions we ask is a very important matter
you see I was al-ways before look-ing for Jesus to be like a lucky rabbits foot or perhaps a genie in a bottle When I needed help that suited my needs I would call and like a cosmic butler I expected Him to appear grant my wishes and then go away
My questions for Jesus were all about me But I have come to understand that the issue might be my questions
Jesus is almighty God existing from all eternity and all things that have been made were

How Can the Fedrsquos Actions Affect You
Scot HrbacekFinancial Advisor3011 N Main Ste CBelton TX 76513(254) 933-7680scothrbacekedwardjonescomMember SIPC
The Federal Reserve may soon raise short-term interest rates What would a rate hike mean to you as an individual investor
For one thing if you own bonds be aware that their price could fall ndash bond prices typically move in the opposite direction of interest rates Longer-term bonds may see more drastic price drops so make sure these bonds donrsquot make up too large a percentage of your fixed-income portfolio
You could also build a bond ladder consisting of short- and long-term bonds and other fixed-rate vehicles such as certificates of deposit When interest rates rise as may be the case soon you can reinvest your maturing short-term bonds and CDs at the higher rates And when market rates are low yoursquoll still have your longer-term bonds which usually pay higher rates working for you Make sure the bonds or CDs in your ladder are consistent with your investment objectives
Concentrate on those things you can control such as building a diversified portfolio that reflects your goals risk tolerance and time horizon This type of focus can help you ndash no matter where interest rates are headed

are the tool being bought it is a move that is fixing a current problem as well as preparing for the future of the safety of the citizens in Morganrsquos PointldquoThis is both a reactive and
a proactive purchase We are reacting to the fact that our equipment has lived its life and exceeded its lifespan as wersquove had our current equip-ment since 1992rdquo said Phillips ldquoIt is proactive because we will be ready with efficient equip-ment to deal with any car acci-dents that may arise Morganrsquos Point is growing very quickly so the need for these materi-als may increase We can be ready nowrdquo The very interesting thing
about this purchase is the three-way split between the three organizations A pur-chase of this magnitude has never taken place this way before and thanks to the com-bined effort of these Ladies Auxiliary Club the City of Morganrsquos Point and the MPFD this purchase of these materials will be quick and economically efficient for all three organizations involvedldquoThe Morganrsquos Point Ladies
Auxiliary Club has been around since 1974 and it has worked closely with the MPFD for many years nowrdquo said Karen Stagner the cur-rent Secretary Treasurer and a past President of the Ladies Auxiliary Club ldquoThis is the first time and frankly Irsquom very excited for it that the three of our organizations have come together to make a purchase of this magnitude like this with an even three-way split Itrsquos very excitingrdquoldquoThe final cost for the Jaws

I know that some people like living in large cities for the cultural and social bene-fits I can see that but some-times you need open spaces I have on a few occasions been out under the open sky and seen the Milky Way in such a bright and fantastic way that it was beyond de-scription Not just seeing it in a dark sky but seeing the fullness from one horizon to the other There is no way to take in that view from the middle of a city Actually there are not many places dark enough at night and flat enough to let the full-ness of all the stars to shine through
We have great scenery as well We go from beaches on the ocean to forests to even mountains Granted the mountains arenrsquot really the snowy peaks like the Rock-ies We do get snow and if you wanted to cross coun-try ski you could travel for many miles in west Texas on a snowy day without going up or down a hill
Living in a place like Bel-ton can be unique There are few places in the world where people are as friendly as Texas and most of the south Being in a small town seems to help people be neighborly as well Perhaps it is seeing the same people a lot or knowing that we all share a nice town along the creek We speak and hold doors open and just enjoy the benefits of being Texans We can follow our noses to some great food travel a few miles to the beach get lost in the forest or when you really need to let go just step outside on a clear night and look at all the stars in the sky That is one way to clear your head another way is a good full plate of Tex-Mex

By Caleb MynattThe Belton Journal
A well-loved and popu-lar eating establishment in Belton is undergoing a major renovation Clem Mikeskarsquos Barbeque one of the most well-known res-taurants in the community as well as a heir to one of the best known names in the Texas barbeque world is undergoing an expansion to their building to fit the needs of the consumers Clem Mikeskarsquos is one of the most attended restaurants in Belton and is becoming bigger and better than it is already
ldquoClem Mikeskarsquos has been in Belton for about 10 years nowrdquo said Anna Mikeska Payne ldquoWersquove received requests for a bigger build-ing because wersquove grown so much we are running out of tables to seat everybody Clem Mikeskas is expanding as a response to customer demandrdquo
Clem Mikeskarsquos has always been a great venue as a social gathering place as well as a family establishment Clem
Mikeskarsquos has been a won-derful place to make a new friend and have a sit down dinner with your family As a result of the expansion Clem Mikeskarsquos is only going to become a better place to enjoy a meal with friends and family
ldquoWe want to make Clem Mikeskarsquos a great family establishment We want it to be a place where you can meet new people and enjoy the food and the funrdquo said Mikeska Payne ldquoAs a part of the expansion we are going to be adding a bar that will be serving draft beers only as well as some wine We will be adding new tables and chairs but we will also add nine new TVrsquos We want Clem Mikeskarsquos to be a place people can come and enjoy a football game or basketball game and have a good beer as well as come after a foot-ball or basketball or baseball gamerdquo
As for Clem Mikeskarsquos famous finger-lickinrsquo food options it too is going to undergo change
ldquoAs well as the expansion in the buildings seating and
the bar and what not we will be changing our menurdquo said Mikeska Payne ldquoWe have widened our menu options so people can come in sev-eral times a week and have something different You can come in one day and have the chicken salad and then come in the other day and have shrimp po-boyrdquo
Clem Mikeskarsquos has been one of the most popular res-taurants in Belton for many years now Though many new people have moved to Belton and Temple over the past decade the love for Clem Mikeskarsquos Barbeque has lasted throughout the years The expansion of Clem Mikeskarsquos is an excit-ing thing for the Belton and Temple community as it will become better at what it already does provide wonderful food and a great atmosphere for the citizens and families of Belton and Temple Texas

bitter frequently find that their situations deteriorate and their mental and physi-cal health decays
Itrsquos difficult if not impos-sible to achieve your goals while you are bitter or re-sentful Regardless of what challenges might befall you bitterness makes finding so-lutions much more elusive
There is no point to feel-ing bitter since it accom-plishes nothing harms you and makes things worse Filling yourself with grati-tude on a daily basis makes you feel good while driving out negative feelings
Begin your practice of gratitude each morning as soon as you wake Every day is a great day If you have any doubts try miss-ing one Take inventory of everything no matter how small or seemingly insignif-icant that is good in your
lifeIf it helps make a writ-
ten list of all things you are grateful for Read your list every day As you do this you will build and reinforce your attitude of gratitude Donrsquot waste any time with what you feel you donrsquot have
Keep things in perspec-tive Consider all the peo-ple who have overcome difficulties far worse than yours Donrsquot be consumed by your problems there is always a solution Main-taining an attitude of grati-tude allows your mind to devise a resolution for your circumstances
Make everyday a day of Thanksgiving and you will be amazed how much better your life will become

Santa Pal Blue Santa returns to Morganrsquos Point Resort
By David TumaThe Belton Journal
Tim Bower found his love after football Some football players go back to coaching or into business of some sort The discipline of the sport pays off in the business world for many young men in Texas Many businesses in Belton to this day are run by ex-football players the same is true for Temple or most towns that have a football team
Bower more than likely is going to spend the rest of his life working on a ranch of some sort That is really what he would like to do This past summer he worked at the Philmont Scout Ranch taking scouts on trail rides Tim is an Eagle Scout and has been to the ranch several times while in the scouts
The Philmont is near Cimarron New Mexico just east of Taos Bower worked with young scouts on two hour trail rides daily Bad weather conditions tend to slow things down or have the ride can-celed
ldquoThere were kids from the big
cities that were scared to death of the horse at first Some of them had never seen a horse in person They picked it up real quick After two hours on that first ride the inside of the knees got real sorerdquo said Bower
There is a difference between hik-ing in the mountains and riding a horse Walking in the mountains you have to spend a lot of time watching your feet You are either going up or down and usually there is a drop off Some kids have been near a horse some havenrsquot There is more to a trail ride with kids than
what you would think Both horse and rider need to be compatible
Bower and the other trail boss-es would start saddling the 18-25 horses at 5 am The ride would start at 8 am They gave a demon-stration of what to do
ldquoWe tried to assign the kids a horse that was a match to the personality of both You walk the horse around
with the kid on board Then you adjust the stirups and the cinch When you ride you see so much more of the beauty of the moun-tains We had kids from Chicago that had never seen a horse before There are four different camps that offer ridesrdquo said Bower
There were two wranglers for every 15 riders Bower also got to go on several 5-day rides one of the camps offer Each night they camped in the mountains From listening to Bower it was hard to tell who had more fun the scouts or him
The ranch he worked on is a huge place totaling over 127000 acres and 214 square miles Craig Bower took Tim his son to the camp twice in 2006 and 2008
ldquoI told my dad I wanted to work on the ranch I donrsquot remember that but he did I wake up to a beautiful sunrise and elk It gets cold here but being from Texas makes it hard to judge what is cold We worked with a girl from Chicago and she said it was okay I still think it was cold My favorite memories are from this ranch I did get to scout from some Elk right before I left Being 30-yards from a bull elk is awesomerdquo said Bower
He broke two smart phones early in his work on the ranch He switched to flip phones ldquoYou donrsquot need all that fancy Facebook stuff up thererdquo said Bower He plans to go back again and again he intends to do some hunting with his family
He has also won a buckle at a rodeo held at a local town near the ranch During one of the competi-tions he thought he cracked a rib Tim won the buckle after a quick call to his father to make sure it was a broken rib It was the final event he participated in

Is your charity effectiveSpecial to the Journal
Donors give to charity throughout the year but the charity watchdog group Charity Navigator reports that around 40 percent of donors make their annual contributions between Thanksgiving and New Yearrsquos Day No matter when one gives the decision to support a charity should never be made lightly Some people choose to donate to charities that focus on causes that resonate with them Emotional feelings can drive donation deci-sions but itrsquos important to do some research into the charitable organization to determine how ef-ficiently the charity operates and how effective the organization ultimately is at fulfilling its mission Look at how much of your money actually goes to-ward the cause you are supporting paying atten-tion to how the organization allocates donations The majority of donation dollars should go to the cause and not toward organizational overhead Here are some questions to ask before selecting a charity
middot Does the charity address the most serious problems in the most cost-effective ways
middot How much money is devoted to overhead ver-sus program outreach
middot Are the charityrsquos interventions really workingmiddot Will this charity help the greatest number of
people with your donationmiddot Is the organization honest and transparentIndividuals can make use of resources made
available by the Better Business Bureau Charity Navigator and GiveWell to see if charities meet their criteria

The Body of Christ Community Clinic has joined in a growing international movement called GivingTuesday This is a desig-nated day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individu-als communities and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity worldwide The day itself falls on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving each year meaning the actual GivingTuesday for 2015 falls on December 1
The Body of Christ Clinic is part-nering with several local businesses and organizations to celebrate gen-erosity and promote giving on three separate TuesdaysmdashNovember 17th and 24th and December 1st (the global GivingTuesday date)
On November 17th our partner
Grand Avenue Theater in Belton will be offering $5 movies all day and a percentage of all their con-cession sales will be donated to the Clinic
On that same day the University of Mary Hardin Baylor will kick off a GivingThanks initiative in con-junction with our GivingTuesday effort Students will be able to write something for which they are grateful on a large poster and take a photograph of themselves with the poster They will also be encour-aged to make a donation to the Clinic and take another selfie this time called an ldquounselfierdquo as they make a charitable contribution

It was a crazy opening night to the 2015 Texas UIL Class 6A-Region I Bi-District Playoffs at Homer B Johnson Stadium in Garland Friday night as the Belton Tigers traveled to take on the Rowlett Eagles
From the opening kick-off to the final whistle the game was track meet of epic proportions In the end the Tigers were unable to stop the Eagles
late and were stopped on a last-ditch effort inside the final minute Rowlett advanced to the area round against Dallas Skyline with a 65-64 win over Belton
The Tigers ended their season 5-6
Belton took the open-ing kickoff and performed some trickeration as Davion Peoples pitched the ball to Olajuwon Taylor after receiving the ball Taylor went 40 yards to start the Tigers on their own 40-yard line Peoples
ran the first play from scrimmage for 15 yards and the third play for 17 yards The plays set up a field goal of 37 yards from Roberto Barrios to give the Tigers a 3-0 lead with 1006 to play in the first quarter
Rowlett answered the score with a touch-down of 26 yards from Logan Bonner to LaDarius Pickens Alvin Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 7-3 lead with 722 to play in the opening stanza
Carlton Shanks III took a pooch kick by the Eagles 57 yards to the Rowlett 8 to set up Peoplesrsquo eight-yard run on the next play A bad snap caused holder Anthony Mirabel to pull in the ball and break for the right pylon Mirabel appeared to have made it to the inside of the pylon by the replay but the ref-eree claimed he went out of bounds and called the conversion attempt no good Belton led 9-7 lead with 702 to go in the first quarter
One of the Rowlett returners was rocked by a hit and fumbled but one of the Eagles recovered the ball on the Rowlett 33 Bonner connected with Quinton Stinson for a 63-yard pass comple-tion down to the Belton 2 Bonner snuck the ball into the end zone on the next play Chris Luplowrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 14-9 lead with 641 to go in the quarter
Belton took the next possession down to the Rowlett 45 but turned
the ball over on downs when Peoples was stopped at the Rowlett 44 on fourth down and three The Eagles took the ball and drove it down to the Belton 7 Great defen-sive plays by Garrison Vaughn Bryan Thomas and John Harvey kept the ball out of the end zone forcing the Eagles to settle for a Kenworthy 23-yard field goal Rowlett led 17-9 with 227 left in the first period

Payton Mansell found Weston Lucas for a nice 27-yard comple-tion into Rowlett terri-tory to highlight the next scoring drive The duo hooked up for a 25-yard touchdown strike and Barrios hit the point-after to draw the Tigers to within a point 17-16 with 37 seconds remain-ing in the quarter
Rowlett hit pay turf the first play into the second quarter follow-ing a Bonner to Josh Lewis 37-yard comple-tion Dickensrsquo 7-yard touchdown run gave to the Eagles a 23-16 lead Kenworthyrsquos point-after kick glanced off the right upright

Belton took the ball at their own 36-yard line and tried to answer the score On third down and five on the Belton 46 Mansell threw an incompletion to Taylor However five yards in front of Taylor Logan Collins was grabbed by Jakel Davis and was held trying to come back for the ball The officials did not deem it a penalty and Belton was forced to punt
Kobe Morrowrsquos 51-yard run set up Rowlettrsquos next score Bonner had 13 yards of completions and Morrowrsquos plunge in from a yard out put six more points up for the Eagles
Luplowrsquos extra-point made the score 37-23 with 42 seconds to go in the half
Belton unfazed from the drive got a bril-liant pass completion from Mansell to Collins that was tipped for a 46-yard completion to the Rowlett 16 After a Belton timeout the Tigers continued to drive the ball down to the goal line With one second remaining in the half Mansell found Taylor for a 3-yard touchdown pass Barriosrsquo extra-point made the score 37-30 at halftime
Belton got a defen-sive stand to start the third quarter as Shanks Vaughn and Chris Jones made three stops in a row on Bonner and forced Rowlett to punt
The Tigers got the ball at midfield to start their first second-half posses-sion Mansellrsquos 30-yard run set the table for his own 1-yard touchdown run to cap off the 8-play 50-yard drive Barriosrsquo extra-point tied the score at 37-37
On the next play from scrimmage Morrow took a delayed hand off waited for a hole to open burst through it and dashed 74 yards for a Rowlett score Luplowrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 44-37 lead with 813 to
go in the third quarterAnother good return
by Shanks gave the Tigers good starting field position this time on the Belton 40 Mansell dissected the Rowlett secondary with passes to Mirabel and Taylor for 27 combined yards Mansellrsquos strike to Taylor from six yards away and Barriosrsquo extra-point tied the score at 44-44 with 510 to go in the third quarter On the point-after Rowlett was flagged for an unsportsmanlike conduct foul moving the Tigers up to mid-field to kick off Belton
recovered the onside kick at the Rowlett 33 and started back to workFollowing a three-yard pass from Mansell to Bubba Marshall Peoples burst around end and raced 30 yards to give the Tigers the lead 50-44 Barriosrsquo extra-point try sailed wide left keeping the Tigers in the lead by six
Bonnerrsquos pass to Lewis for 10 yards set up a 53-yard option pitch run by Morrow down to the Belton 3 Kofi McDonald and Brandon Gangloff made huge stops to force third down Morrow pounded the ball into the end zone and Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave the Eagles a one-point lead with 129 to
play in the third quarter 51-50
After a short kickoff by Rowlett Demeatric Brandon busted off a 49-yard run down the sidelines to the Rowlett 15 Peoplesrsquo ran the ball in for a touchdown on the next play to give Belton to lead once again The Tigers lined up for a two-point conversion and Rowlett called time-out right before the play Belton trotted the point-after team back on and tried for an extra point which sailed wide right The Tigers led 56-51 with 56 seconds left in
the third quarterAfter a great special
teams play by Harvey the Eagles started their next drive at their own 28-yard line Rowlett drove the ball down to the Belton 41 and were forced into a fourth and two situation Bonner dropped back to pass and Vaughn stepped in front of the receiver at the Belton 2 and intercepted the ball with 950 left on the fourth quarter clock
Peoples always up for big-game plays busted off one of the biggest runs in recent Tiger his-tory He took the hand off Mansell made three jukes broke into the open and raced 98 yards for an electrifying Tiger score The two-point
conversion was good and the Tiger fans cheered on the effort as Belton led by 13 points 64-51 with 933 to play
Rowlett answered the call again putting together a 64-yard drive capped by a 24-yard pass from Bonner to Morrow Luplowrsquos extra-point made the score 64-58 with 714 to go
Belton got the ball back at their own 18-yard line and ended up in a third and six situation at their own 22-yard line Mansell scrambled towards the Rowlett sidelines looking for an open man He ended up out of bounds on a hard hit and was down for a couple of moments Belton had to send out backup punter Lutz to kick the ball away on fourth down The ball went off the side of his foot and Rowlett ended up with great field posi-tion at the Belton 41
Shanks and Jones made two good defensive stops on the first two plays of Rowlettrsquos next drive Bonner found Dickens for a 11-yard comple-tion for a first down and put the Eagles in striking distance again On third down and two on the Belton 8 Bonner scrambled around the right side and got the benefit of a hold from Rowlettrsquos right tackle in front of the referee as he went in for the score Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett the lead 65-64 with 233 to play in the game
Belton started to move the ball down the field on their final drive Peoples had two rushes for eight yards and Brandon bust-ed off a 12-yard run On second down and 10 at the Rowlett 30 the Tigers drew a critical holding call which set them back 10 yards On the next play Mansell threw the ball towards Taylor who was being held for 10 yards by the jersey by the safety The pass was incomplete and no call was made On third down and 20 at the Rowlett 40 Mansell
found Taylor open for a split second over the middle and threw a pass high towards him Taylor was grabbed as he attempted to make the catch and could not make the catch The back judge deemed the ball uncatch-able though Taylorrsquos fingertips appeared to touch the ball On fourth down Mansell scram-bled to find to open man and ran across the field and let a pass go that was short of the target The Tigers had to turn it over on downs with 43 seconds left Rowlett knelt the ball twice and ended the Tigersrsquo season in heartbreaking fashion
It was a bittersweet pill for the Tigers to take as they were turnover-free in the game and had a 13-point lead with 933 to play
ldquoIrsquom proud of the teamrdquo Belton head coach Bob Shipley said ldquoThey just fought and fought the entire game Either team deserved to win Both teams deserved to win Only one could win Yoursquore up 64-51 in the fourth quarter and we just had a tough time stopped them all night They had a really good scheme and really good offense We made some good stops and made the onside kick We were going to run the onside kick whether we got that 15-yard penalty or not There are a lot of situ-ations during the game that could have been the difference in the game The situation I was most disappointed in was that we couldnrsquot get a first down after they scored (with Belton leading 64-58) We shanked the punt and they scored We couldnrsquot get it donerdquo
Despite coming up a point short at the end Shipley was proud of the Tigersrsquo efforts
ldquoI really wanted them to hold up the gold foot-ball and win for our seniors a championship of some sortrdquo Shipley said ldquoBut it didnrsquot hap-pen I know that they laid the foundation to build on for next yearrdquo

If the 32 minutes of basketball that the Belton Tigers opened up with on Monday night at Tiger Gym is a small taste of what fans will see out of this yearrsquos boysrsquo basketball team people may want to get in line for a big helping
Belton used a 29-7 third quarter and com-pounded it to a 17-point halftime lead en route to an 81-39 win over the Austin Travis Rebels
The Tigers are now 1-0 on the young season
Belton held Travis to one field goal in the first
quarter although neither team hit the scoreboard until Kiron Griffin Jr hit a put back in the paint at the 511 match and Izaiah Jones had a put back 20 seconds later to put Belton up 4-0
After a Travis field goal Jones Ruben Freeman and Dontori Lott helped the Tigers mount a 9-3 closing run to give Belton a 13-5 lead at the end of the first quarter
A combination of hot defense by the Tigers and cold shooting by the Rebels allowed Belton to outscore Travis 22-13 in the second quarter Lott Griffin Freeman and
Carson Hammond com-bined for the 22 points giving Belton a 35-18 lead at halftime

Tigers Football sub-varsity teams successful in 2015
LOICONTINUED FROM C1
By Tony AdamsSports Editor
Much in the way of the past two seasons the Belton Tigersrsquo sub-varsity experienced great success in the 2015 season
The five sub-varsity teams went a combined 34-10-1 outscoring teams 1178-541
Thatrsquos an average score of 26-12 A two-touch-down differential com-bined up and down the ranks is an impressive one
The crown jewel in the season was the Belton JV Red team finishing with a perfect 10-0 record Outscoring teams 389-88 the nearest team came to within just 16 points of the Tigers
ldquoThis was a real-ly good group to work withrdquo Belton coach Mike Morgan said ldquoOne of the big selling points to the kids was that they had a tremendous opportunity to go out and compete each week As the season progressed and the team kept winning we talked about the opportunity to be perfect as a team There is never a perfect
play in a game and never a perfect game it is not possible But a team has the opportunity to have a perfect season and that is what the JV Red was able to accomplish They are a very unselfish group of players and they bought in that if they played extremely hard and did their job then they would have a great chance to be successfulrdquo
The Belton JV White team finished 6-2 against tough competition as well outscoring the oppo-sition 181-112 Though games against Stony Point (weather) and Ellison (JV teams merged) were cancelled coach Jason Moffett and his staff worked hard with their players to guide them towards success
ldquoWe try to find ways to really make the White Team importantrdquo Moffett said ldquoWe try not to allow our guys to think of themselves as ldquoBrdquo Team players We want to win ball games and be district champs no matter what the level We spend a lot of time coaching these guys I think a lot more than some other teams in
our area I saw improve-ment defensively over the course of the year in terms of alignment assignment and tacklingrdquo
The Belton Freshman Red team finished 7-3 outscoring opponents 273-146 A few of the freshmen were called up to junior varsity through-out the season
ldquoFreshmen improved from the start of camp all the way until the last game of the yearrdquo Belton coach Al Maxwell said ldquoThe improvement was most evident in the physi-cal condition and most importantly the mental toughness of the team as a wholerdquo
The Freshman White team was two points from a perfect season in their own rights (a late-season loss to Midway 29-27) having gone 9-1 in 2015 outscoring opponents 269-94
The Freshman Gray team played just a 7-game schedule and finished 2-4-1 having been out-scored 101-66 Most of the players were brought up to Freshman Red and Freshman White at the completion of the sched-
uleldquoThe guys achieved
good things this foot-ball season by winning 18 games and compet-ing with three teamsrdquo Maxwell said ldquoThe guysrsquo mental toughness was on display each game and showed when games became tough and crowds were hostile The guys did very this season and will look to win a district championship next sea-sonrdquo
The key to the success of the Tigers sub-varsity programs is the work that the players put in and the coaching staff and how they coach It is a uni-formed system up and down the ranks
ldquoWe spend a lot of time as coaches with our sub-varsity teamsrdquo Belton head football coach Bob Shipley said ldquoI canrsquot imagine any sub-varsi-ty teams in our district who get more individual coaching from varsity coaches than our kids do The JV kids have to be scout team players of course but we spend a lot of time with them out-side of varsity practice They are well-prepared
every week If you want to change a culture and have kids expecting to win you have to invest a lot of time in them before they are varsity players Our kids are learning how to win for sure Irsquove had kids tell me several times that they never won more than a game or two in middle school and they love win-ning in high school That lets us know that itrsquos all worth itrdquo
The talent is so abun-dant in the Belton sub-varsity system that the varsity team is able to bring up players to add to their depth and keep the junior varsity and fresh-man teams very competi-tive Although there are too many potential names to name players to watch in particular over the next season or two or three Shipley believes that the
10th grade season for a football player is one of the most critical seasons
ldquoThere are several JV players we expect to start for us next yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoIt should be that way every year We only had 2 sophomore players on varsity the majority of the season I think 10th grade is a critical time for players They need to be playing as much as pos-sible If theyrsquore going to be on varsity as sophomores they need to be starting because theyrsquore not get-ting any better standing on the sidelines They need to be getting every snap on Thursday nights so they can continue to develop as players and improverdquo
Congratulations to all five teams on a successful 2015 season

ldquoIt feels awesome to be selected and we really did have to sweat it out this seasonrdquo Cru head coach Pete Fredenburg said ldquoIt makes you real-ize what a fragile exis-tence you have in the playoffs and I feel an obligation to make sure we do everything we can to make the most of this opportunity I think the playersrsquo reaction shows that they are excited to be back in the playoffs and we hope that the excitement carries on into our practice and preparation for a big ball game next week-endrdquo
Anderson crossed the 2000-yard passing mark against East Texas Baptist He is 125-of-204 for 2041 yards 19 touchdowns against just four interceptions He also has 247 yards rushing and seven touchdowns Jackson is inserted into the ball-game in certain pack-ages and his numbers are good going 34-of-67 passing for 451 yards six touchdowns against two interceptions while running for 263 yards

By Tony AdamsSports Editor
Last Friday nightrsquos bi-dis-trict playoff game between the Belton Tigers and the Rowlett Eagles was loaded with ups and downs There were so many great perfor-mances including Davion Peoples scoring rushing touchdowns on three con-secutive scores including his school record-breaking 98-yard run on his way to a 200-plus yard rushing night and Peyton Mansellrsquos ability to navigate the Tigers up and down the field
ldquoObviously we did some good things offensivelyrdquo Belton head coach Bob Shipley said ldquoWe didnrsquot turn the ball over which we knew would be key The offensive line did a good job most of the night and of course we had some receivers come up with some big plays I thought Peyton (Mansell) played really well especially for his first playoff gamerdquo
ldquoOffensively our kids did a great job execut-ing the game plan we preached all week that we couldnrsquot have that lull on offense that we have had from time to timerdquo Belton offensive coordinator Sam Skidmore said ldquoThe offen-sive line controlled the line of scrimmage DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) did a great job seeing the holes running well and blocking Peyton did it through the air and on the ground and really stepped up and led the entire receiving corps did a great job I think almost everyone had a catch and did a great job blocking as wellrdquo
As heartbreaking as the
loss was it was the high mark for points scored in a game this season and set a school record for points in a season with 452 There was absolutely no quit in the 48 minutes
ldquoDefensively it was just a long nightrdquo Shipley said ldquoWe made a couple of stops but didnrsquot in the fourth quarter when we had too They were very athletic and had a great quarterback I thought our kids fought so hard and Irsquom proud of them for that My only disappointment offensively were penalties that hurt our field position and the inability to get first downs when we had the lead in the fourth quarterrdquo
ldquoVery impressed with the resiliency our kids showedrdquo Belton special teams coach Mike Morgan said ldquoIt was a very emotional game and our kids kept responding over and over againrdquo
Ramonce Taylor was on the sidelines for the last couple of games and has been very encouraging towards the team He was so happy for Peoples when he broke his school record for the longest run
ldquoRamonce has been to several games this yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoItrsquos always great to see him and have him giving our kids point-ers I donrsquot think anyone would argue that he has to be one of the greatest athletes to ever represent Belton High School Hersquos back in school and wants to be a coach After seeing the way our kids respond to him I think hersquod be a great onerdquo
ldquoWe were very glad to have Ramonce on the side-linerdquo Skidmore said ldquoThe kids can relate and he was encouraging the kids being
involved and I know our kids enjoyed him being aroundrdquo
When discussing with the coaches the bi-district playoff game outcomes the 10-7 Shoemaker win over Sachse was a surprise to many in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex But to the Belton staff it wasnrsquot
ldquoI knew Shoemaker had a good defense but I was a little surprised by the scorerdquo Shipley said ldquoSachse has playmakers all over the field I think it shows people that our district can compete with any district in the state Every school has a great coaching staff Irsquove been very impressed with the coaches in our district and of course the athletes we see week in and week out are amazingrdquo
ldquoNo I expected Shoemaker to give them fits the match up of Kendall Jones on Sachsersquos center was going play big in favor of Shoemakerrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAlso Shoemakerrsquos overall defensive speed and tenacity gave Sachse fits I donrsquot know for sure but Irsquom assuming Shoemakerrsquos defensive line and front seven was disruptive all night against Sachsersquos offensive linerdquo
ldquoShoemaker was not a surprise at allrdquo Morgan said ldquoHolding Sachse to zero offensive touchdowns was quite an accomplish-ment But the unit that Shoemaker is able to put on the field defensively will probably not be appreci-ated until all of those guys have graduated Midway performed about like I thought they would Aside from the early season loss-es they have been a very good team the last eight weeksrdquo
The Tigers had a great season despite a 5-6 record There were highlights and lowlights as every season has
ldquoThe two games at Killeen were exciting but I think the way our kids came out and played against Hendrickson and Stony Point was a highlight for the regular seasonrdquo Shipley said ldquoThose teams beat us badly last year and our kids showed that we are a different team this year I was also proud of the way we came out against Midway as well It was a far cry from last year when we were never in the gamerdquo
ldquoI thought our offense made great strides this yearrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAt times we were very explo-sive and put up good num-bers The offensive line played well all year Shack was a great leader and it was awesome to see the prog-ress of Jerrod (Jackson) Javon (Chambers) (Jacob) Dumas and Caleb Smith Jaylin Bryant You couldnrsquot have asked for a better 1-2 punch than DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) Those two had great seasons Peyton (Mansell) got better every game he was a real leader and battled every game The leadership and tenac-ity to win he showed was impressive The receiv-ers got better all year and Olajuwon (Taylor) step-ping up and making plays all year long was hugerdquo
ldquoThe 2015 Tigers were a great bunch to coachrdquo Morgan said ldquoThere were times we had it rolling in all three phases of the game and times when we were one or two first downs or one or two stops away from breaking close games
open With all of the offen-sive skill kids who had to be replaced from 2014 I was very proud of the way new guys developed and became such weapons offensively It all started and ended with the out-standing play of our offen-sive line and tight end I thought Zach Shackelford lead that group to being very good and new coach Jacob Hunter did an out-standing job as well Most disappointing was the early season struggles of our punt team and the impact it had on our Hendrickson Stony Point and Copperas Cove losses Kickers Roberto Barrios and Ryan Smith were very effective and improved dramatically from seasonrsquos start to endrdquo
Belton led in every game this season and five of the six losses came within the final minute (a total of 16 points in those five games) Things happen in foot-ball and this team could have finished with a 2-8 record and as good as 10-1 They set a school record for points in a season (452 in 11 games shattering the 1993 record of 425 in 1993 in 12 games)
ldquoWe had a lot of tough breaks this yearrdquo Shipley added ldquoI think the clock malfunctioning at Hendrickson had an effect on the outcome of the game Hendrickson scored two touchdowns in the sec-ond quarter that Irsquom not sure they would have had time to score if the clock was working properly I really feel that the Stony Point game came down to the fourth-down spot at the end of the game That sounds like an excuse but if you were at the game you know exactly what Irsquom
talking about The kids cer-tainly played well enough to win The Shoemaker game could have gone either way as could the Cove game Irsquove had seasons where the ball bounced our way and we got some breaks but unfortunately this wasnrsquot one of themrdquo
Defensively the team may have struggled and gave up yardage and points But the solid play of defensive line lineback-ers and secondary was there John Harvey Chris Jones Carlton Shanks III Brandon Gangloff Garrison Vaughn CJ Jones DJ Fisher Cody Garrett Reagan Chapman and a host of other defensive players played well against a schedule of solid teams
ldquoWinning is difficult in 6A football regardless of what team you are a part ofrdquo Morgan said ldquoI think the biggest thing moving forward is our guys have to understand the impor-tance of every play in the outcome of a close ball-game There can never be a letdown or lapse in focus in a tight ball game On the bright side the 2015 Tigers never quit and put themselves in situations to win every ball game they played this year
As is the case every sea-son teams lose a good number of seniors to grad-uation The 2016 Belton seniors have meant a great deal to the Belton Tigers football tradition
ldquoTheyrsquove put a lot into this thingrdquo Shipley said ldquoThey bought in and worked their tails off Not many teams across the state have over 100 kids that show up at 545 every morning to work out and our seniors led the wayrdquo

How Can the Fedrsquos Actions Affect You
Scot HrbacekFinancial Advisor3011 N Main Ste CBelton TX 76513(254) 933-7680scothrbacekedwardjonescomMember SIPC
The Federal Reserve may soon raise short-term interest rates What would a rate hike mean to you as an individual investor
For one thing if you own bonds be aware that their price could fall ndash bond prices typically move in the opposite direction of interest rates Longer-term bonds may see more drastic price drops so make sure these bonds donrsquot make up too large a percentage of your fixed-income portfolio
You could also build a bond ladder consisting of short- and long-term bonds and other fixed-rate vehicles such as certificates of deposit When interest rates rise as may be the case soon you can reinvest your maturing short-term bonds and CDs at the higher rates And when market rates are low yoursquoll still have your longer-term bonds which usually pay higher rates working for you Make sure the bonds or CDs in your ladder are consistent with your investment objectives
Concentrate on those things you can control such as building a diversified portfolio that reflects your goals risk tolerance and time horizon This type of focus can help you ndash no matter where interest rates are headed

about this purchase is the three-way split between the three organizations A pur-chase of this magnitude has never taken place this way before and thanks to the com-bined effort of these Ladies Auxiliary Club the City of Morganrsquos Point and the MPFD this purchase of these materials will be quick and economically efficient for all three organizations involvedldquoThe Morganrsquos Point Ladies

I know that some people like living in large cities for the cultural and social bene-fits I can see that but some-times you need open spaces I have on a few occasions been out under the open sky and seen the Milky Way in such a bright and fantastic way that it was beyond de-scription Not just seeing it in a dark sky but seeing the fullness from one horizon to the other There is no way to take in that view from the middle of a city Actually there are not many places dark enough at night and flat enough to let the full-ness of all the stars to shine through
We have great scenery as well We go from beaches on the ocean to forests to even mountains Granted the mountains arenrsquot really the snowy peaks like the Rock-ies We do get snow and if you wanted to cross coun-try ski you could travel for many miles in west Texas on a snowy day without going up or down a hill
Living in a place like Bel-ton can be unique There are few places in the world where people are as friendly as Texas and most of the south Being in a small town seems to help people be neighborly as well Perhaps it is seeing the same people a lot or knowing that we all share a nice town along the creek We speak and hold doors open and just enjoy the benefits of being Texans We can follow our noses to some great food travel a few miles to the beach get lost in the forest or when you really need to let go just step outside on a clear night and look at all the stars in the sky That is one way to clear your head another way is a good full plate of Tex-Mex

By Caleb MynattThe Belton Journal
A well-loved and popu-lar eating establishment in Belton is undergoing a major renovation Clem Mikeskarsquos Barbeque one of the most well-known res-taurants in the community as well as a heir to one of the best known names in the Texas barbeque world is undergoing an expansion to their building to fit the needs of the consumers Clem Mikeskarsquos is one of the most attended restaurants in Belton and is becoming bigger and better than it is already
ldquoClem Mikeskarsquos has been in Belton for about 10 years nowrdquo said Anna Mikeska Payne ldquoWersquove received requests for a bigger build-ing because wersquove grown so much we are running out of tables to seat everybody Clem Mikeskas is expanding as a response to customer demandrdquo
Clem Mikeskarsquos has always been a great venue as a social gathering place as well as a family establishment Clem
Mikeskarsquos has been a won-derful place to make a new friend and have a sit down dinner with your family As a result of the expansion Clem Mikeskarsquos is only going to become a better place to enjoy a meal with friends and family
ldquoWe want to make Clem Mikeskarsquos a great family establishment We want it to be a place where you can meet new people and enjoy the food and the funrdquo said Mikeska Payne ldquoAs a part of the expansion we are going to be adding a bar that will be serving draft beers only as well as some wine We will be adding new tables and chairs but we will also add nine new TVrsquos We want Clem Mikeskarsquos to be a place people can come and enjoy a football game or basketball game and have a good beer as well as come after a foot-ball or basketball or baseball gamerdquo
As for Clem Mikeskarsquos famous finger-lickinrsquo food options it too is going to undergo change

bitter frequently find that their situations deteriorate and their mental and physi-cal health decays
Itrsquos difficult if not impos-sible to achieve your goals while you are bitter or re-sentful Regardless of what challenges might befall you bitterness makes finding so-lutions much more elusive
There is no point to feel-ing bitter since it accom-plishes nothing harms you and makes things worse Filling yourself with grati-tude on a daily basis makes you feel good while driving out negative feelings
Begin your practice of gratitude each morning as soon as you wake Every day is a great day If you have any doubts try miss-ing one Take inventory of everything no matter how small or seemingly insignif-icant that is good in your
lifeIf it helps make a writ-
ten list of all things you are grateful for Read your list every day As you do this you will build and reinforce your attitude of gratitude Donrsquot waste any time with what you feel you donrsquot have
Keep things in perspec-tive Consider all the peo-ple who have overcome difficulties far worse than yours Donrsquot be consumed by your problems there is always a solution Main-taining an attitude of grati-tude allows your mind to devise a resolution for your circumstances
Make everyday a day of Thanksgiving and you will be amazed how much better your life will become

Santa Pal Blue Santa returns to Morganrsquos Point Resort
By David TumaThe Belton Journal
Tim Bower found his love after football Some football players go back to coaching or into business of some sort The discipline of the sport pays off in the business world for many young men in Texas Many businesses in Belton to this day are run by ex-football players the same is true for Temple or most towns that have a football team
Bower more than likely is going to spend the rest of his life working on a ranch of some sort That is really what he would like to do This past summer he worked at the Philmont Scout Ranch taking scouts on trail rides Tim is an Eagle Scout and has been to the ranch several times while in the scouts
The Philmont is near Cimarron New Mexico just east of Taos Bower worked with young scouts on two hour trail rides daily Bad weather conditions tend to slow things down or have the ride can-celed
ldquoThere were kids from the big
cities that were scared to death of the horse at first Some of them had never seen a horse in person They picked it up real quick After two hours on that first ride the inside of the knees got real sorerdquo said Bower
There is a difference between hik-ing in the mountains and riding a horse Walking in the mountains you have to spend a lot of time watching your feet You are either going up or down and usually there is a drop off Some kids have been near a horse some havenrsquot There is more to a trail ride with kids than
what you would think Both horse and rider need to be compatible
Bower and the other trail boss-es would start saddling the 18-25 horses at 5 am The ride would start at 8 am They gave a demon-stration of what to do
ldquoWe tried to assign the kids a horse that was a match to the personality of both You walk the horse around
with the kid on board Then you adjust the stirups and the cinch When you ride you see so much more of the beauty of the moun-tains We had kids from Chicago that had never seen a horse before There are four different camps that offer ridesrdquo said Bower
There were two wranglers for every 15 riders Bower also got to go on several 5-day rides one of the camps offer Each night they camped in the mountains From listening to Bower it was hard to tell who had more fun the scouts or him
The ranch he worked on is a huge place totaling over 127000 acres and 214 square miles Craig Bower took Tim his son to the camp twice in 2006 and 2008
ldquoI told my dad I wanted to work on the ranch I donrsquot remember that but he did I wake up to a beautiful sunrise and elk It gets cold here but being from Texas makes it hard to judge what is cold We worked with a girl from Chicago and she said it was okay I still think it was cold My favorite memories are from this ranch I did get to scout from some Elk right before I left Being 30-yards from a bull elk is awesomerdquo said Bower
He broke two smart phones early in his work on the ranch He switched to flip phones ldquoYou donrsquot need all that fancy Facebook stuff up thererdquo said Bower He plans to go back again and again he intends to do some hunting with his family
He has also won a buckle at a rodeo held at a local town near the ranch During one of the competi-tions he thought he cracked a rib Tim won the buckle after a quick call to his father to make sure it was a broken rib It was the final event he participated in

Is your charity effectiveSpecial to the Journal
Donors give to charity throughout the year but the charity watchdog group Charity Navigator reports that around 40 percent of donors make their annual contributions between Thanksgiving and New Yearrsquos Day No matter when one gives the decision to support a charity should never be made lightly Some people choose to donate to charities that focus on causes that resonate with them Emotional feelings can drive donation deci-sions but itrsquos important to do some research into the charitable organization to determine how ef-ficiently the charity operates and how effective the organization ultimately is at fulfilling its mission Look at how much of your money actually goes to-ward the cause you are supporting paying atten-tion to how the organization allocates donations The majority of donation dollars should go to the cause and not toward organizational overhead Here are some questions to ask before selecting a charity
middot Does the charity address the most serious problems in the most cost-effective ways
middot How much money is devoted to overhead ver-sus program outreach
middot Are the charityrsquos interventions really workingmiddot Will this charity help the greatest number of
people with your donationmiddot Is the organization honest and transparentIndividuals can make use of resources made
available by the Better Business Bureau Charity Navigator and GiveWell to see if charities meet their criteria

The Body of Christ Community Clinic has joined in a growing international movement called GivingTuesday This is a desig-nated day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individu-als communities and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity worldwide The day itself falls on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving each year meaning the actual GivingTuesday for 2015 falls on December 1
The Body of Christ Clinic is part-nering with several local businesses and organizations to celebrate gen-erosity and promote giving on three separate TuesdaysmdashNovember 17th and 24th and December 1st (the global GivingTuesday date)
On November 17th our partner
Grand Avenue Theater in Belton will be offering $5 movies all day and a percentage of all their con-cession sales will be donated to the Clinic
On that same day the University of Mary Hardin Baylor will kick off a GivingThanks initiative in con-junction with our GivingTuesday effort Students will be able to write something for which they are grateful on a large poster and take a photograph of themselves with the poster They will also be encour-aged to make a donation to the Clinic and take another selfie this time called an ldquounselfierdquo as they make a charitable contribution
The Body of Christ Community Clinic is a team of local volun-teers committed to carrying out the compassionate healing ministry of Christ by providing personalized quality health services to the medi-cally underserved in the greater Belton and Salado ISD areas Our Vision is to be recognized as a Christ-Centered healthcare pro-vider enabling all in our commu-nity to achieve healthy living in mind body and spirit There is a great need for health services in
our community as poverty levels and uninsured rates are both high especially among minority popula-tions
Over 100 volunteers staff the Clinic rotating their services to cover the hours of operation These include doctors dentists nurses physician assistants dental assistants hygienists social work-ers and clerical techs The only paid positions are those of a full time Executive Director a part- time nurse practitioner (5hrs) a week and patient scheduler (3hrs) The Clinic is a 501 (c) (3) not for profit organization and finan-cial support for the Clinic comes from area churches and individual donors The Clinic receives no fed-eral or state funding The Clinic has been in operation for five years All the volunteers at the Clinic are men and women dedicated to expressing love and compassion to those without access to medical and dental care

It was a crazy opening night to the 2015 Texas UIL Class 6A-Region I Bi-District Playoffs at Homer B Johnson Stadium in Garland Friday night as the Belton Tigers traveled to take on the Rowlett Eagles
From the opening kick-off to the final whistle the game was track meet of epic proportions In the end the Tigers were unable to stop the Eagles
late and were stopped on a last-ditch effort inside the final minute Rowlett advanced to the area round against Dallas Skyline with a 65-64 win over Belton
The Tigers ended their season 5-6
Belton took the open-ing kickoff and performed some trickeration as Davion Peoples pitched the ball to Olajuwon Taylor after receiving the ball Taylor went 40 yards to start the Tigers on their own 40-yard line Peoples
ran the first play from scrimmage for 15 yards and the third play for 17 yards The plays set up a field goal of 37 yards from Roberto Barrios to give the Tigers a 3-0 lead with 1006 to play in the first quarter
Rowlett answered the score with a touch-down of 26 yards from Logan Bonner to LaDarius Pickens Alvin Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 7-3 lead with 722 to play in the opening stanza
Carlton Shanks III took a pooch kick by the Eagles 57 yards to the Rowlett 8 to set up Peoplesrsquo eight-yard run on the next play A bad snap caused holder Anthony Mirabel to pull in the ball and break for the right pylon Mirabel appeared to have made it to the inside of the pylon by the replay but the ref-eree claimed he went out of bounds and called the conversion attempt no good Belton led 9-7 lead with 702 to go in the first quarter
One of the Rowlett returners was rocked by a hit and fumbled but one of the Eagles recovered the ball on the Rowlett 33 Bonner connected with Quinton Stinson for a 63-yard pass comple-tion down to the Belton 2 Bonner snuck the ball into the end zone on the next play Chris Luplowrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 14-9 lead with 641 to go in the quarter
Belton took the next possession down to the Rowlett 45 but turned
the ball over on downs when Peoples was stopped at the Rowlett 44 on fourth down and three The Eagles took the ball and drove it down to the Belton 7 Great defen-sive plays by Garrison Vaughn Bryan Thomas and John Harvey kept the ball out of the end zone forcing the Eagles to settle for a Kenworthy 23-yard field goal Rowlett led 17-9 with 227 left in the first period

Payton Mansell found Weston Lucas for a nice 27-yard comple-tion into Rowlett terri-tory to highlight the next scoring drive The duo hooked up for a 25-yard touchdown strike and Barrios hit the point-after to draw the Tigers to within a point 17-16 with 37 seconds remain-ing in the quarter
Rowlett hit pay turf the first play into the second quarter follow-ing a Bonner to Josh Lewis 37-yard comple-tion Dickensrsquo 7-yard touchdown run gave to the Eagles a 23-16 lead Kenworthyrsquos point-after kick glanced off the right upright

Belton took the ball at their own 36-yard line and tried to answer the score On third down and five on the Belton 46 Mansell threw an incompletion to Taylor However five yards in front of Taylor Logan Collins was grabbed by Jakel Davis and was held trying to come back for the ball The officials did not deem it a penalty and Belton was forced to punt
Kobe Morrowrsquos 51-yard run set up Rowlettrsquos next score Bonner had 13 yards of completions and Morrowrsquos plunge in from a yard out put six more points up for the Eagles
Luplowrsquos extra-point made the score 37-23 with 42 seconds to go in the half
Belton unfazed from the drive got a bril-liant pass completion from Mansell to Collins that was tipped for a 46-yard completion to the Rowlett 16 After a Belton timeout the Tigers continued to drive the ball down to the goal line With one second remaining in the half Mansell found Taylor for a 3-yard touchdown pass Barriosrsquo extra-point made the score 37-30 at halftime
Belton got a defen-sive stand to start the third quarter as Shanks Vaughn and Chris Jones made three stops in a row on Bonner and forced Rowlett to punt
The Tigers got the ball at midfield to start their first second-half posses-sion Mansellrsquos 30-yard run set the table for his own 1-yard touchdown run to cap off the 8-play 50-yard drive Barriosrsquo extra-point tied the score at 37-37
On the next play from scrimmage Morrow took a delayed hand off waited for a hole to open burst through it and dashed 74 yards for a Rowlett score Luplowrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 44-37 lead with 813 to
go in the third quarterAnother good return
by Shanks gave the Tigers good starting field position this time on the Belton 40 Mansell dissected the Rowlett secondary with passes to Mirabel and Taylor for 27 combined yards Mansellrsquos strike to Taylor from six yards away and Barriosrsquo extra-point tied the score at 44-44 with 510 to go in the third quarter On the point-after Rowlett was flagged for an unsportsmanlike conduct foul moving the Tigers up to mid-field to kick off Belton
recovered the onside kick at the Rowlett 33 and started back to workFollowing a three-yard pass from Mansell to Bubba Marshall Peoples burst around end and raced 30 yards to give the Tigers the lead 50-44 Barriosrsquo extra-point try sailed wide left keeping the Tigers in the lead by six
Bonnerrsquos pass to Lewis for 10 yards set up a 53-yard option pitch run by Morrow down to the Belton 3 Kofi McDonald and Brandon Gangloff made huge stops to force third down Morrow pounded the ball into the end zone and Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave the Eagles a one-point lead with 129 to
play in the third quarter 51-50
After a short kickoff by Rowlett Demeatric Brandon busted off a 49-yard run down the sidelines to the Rowlett 15 Peoplesrsquo ran the ball in for a touchdown on the next play to give Belton to lead once again The Tigers lined up for a two-point conversion and Rowlett called time-out right before the play Belton trotted the point-after team back on and tried for an extra point which sailed wide right The Tigers led 56-51 with 56 seconds left in
the third quarterAfter a great special
teams play by Harvey the Eagles started their next drive at their own 28-yard line Rowlett drove the ball down to the Belton 41 and were forced into a fourth and two situation Bonner dropped back to pass and Vaughn stepped in front of the receiver at the Belton 2 and intercepted the ball with 950 left on the fourth quarter clock
Peoples always up for big-game plays busted off one of the biggest runs in recent Tiger his-tory He took the hand off Mansell made three jukes broke into the open and raced 98 yards for an electrifying Tiger score The two-point
conversion was good and the Tiger fans cheered on the effort as Belton led by 13 points 64-51 with 933 to play
Rowlett answered the call again putting together a 64-yard drive capped by a 24-yard pass from Bonner to Morrow Luplowrsquos extra-point made the score 64-58 with 714 to go
Belton got the ball back at their own 18-yard line and ended up in a third and six situation at their own 22-yard line Mansell scrambled towards the Rowlett sidelines looking for an open man He ended up out of bounds on a hard hit and was down for a couple of moments Belton had to send out backup punter Lutz to kick the ball away on fourth down The ball went off the side of his foot and Rowlett ended up with great field posi-tion at the Belton 41
Shanks and Jones made two good defensive stops on the first two plays of Rowlettrsquos next drive Bonner found Dickens for a 11-yard comple-tion for a first down and put the Eagles in striking distance again On third down and two on the Belton 8 Bonner scrambled around the right side and got the benefit of a hold from Rowlettrsquos right tackle in front of the referee as he went in for the score Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett the lead 65-64 with 233 to play in the game
Belton started to move the ball down the field on their final drive Peoples had two rushes for eight yards and Brandon bust-ed off a 12-yard run On second down and 10 at the Rowlett 30 the Tigers drew a critical holding call which set them back 10 yards On the next play Mansell threw the ball towards Taylor who was being held for 10 yards by the jersey by the safety The pass was incomplete and no call was made On third down and 20 at the Rowlett 40 Mansell
found Taylor open for a split second over the middle and threw a pass high towards him Taylor was grabbed as he attempted to make the catch and could not make the catch The back judge deemed the ball uncatch-able though Taylorrsquos fingertips appeared to touch the ball On fourth down Mansell scram-bled to find to open man and ran across the field and let a pass go that was short of the target The Tigers had to turn it over on downs with 43 seconds left Rowlett knelt the ball twice and ended the Tigersrsquo season in heartbreaking fashion
It was a bittersweet pill for the Tigers to take as they were turnover-free in the game and had a 13-point lead with 933 to play
ldquoIrsquom proud of the teamrdquo Belton head coach Bob Shipley said ldquoThey just fought and fought the entire game Either team deserved to win Both teams deserved to win Only one could win Yoursquore up 64-51 in the fourth quarter and we just had a tough time stopped them all night They had a really good scheme and really good offense We made some good stops and made the onside kick We were going to run the onside kick whether we got that 15-yard penalty or not There are a lot of situ-ations during the game that could have been the difference in the game The situation I was most disappointed in was that we couldnrsquot get a first down after they scored (with Belton leading 64-58) We shanked the punt and they scored We couldnrsquot get it donerdquo
Despite coming up a point short at the end Shipley was proud of the Tigersrsquo efforts
ldquoI really wanted them to hold up the gold foot-ball and win for our seniors a championship of some sortrdquo Shipley said ldquoBut it didnrsquot hap-pen I know that they laid the foundation to build on for next yearrdquo

Tigers Football sub-varsity teams successful in 2015
LOICONTINUED FROM C1
By Tony AdamsSports Editor
Much in the way of the past two seasons the Belton Tigersrsquo sub-varsity experienced great success in the 2015 season
The five sub-varsity teams went a combined 34-10-1 outscoring teams 1178-541
Thatrsquos an average score of 26-12 A two-touch-down differential com-bined up and down the ranks is an impressive one
The crown jewel in the season was the Belton JV Red team finishing with a perfect 10-0 record Outscoring teams 389-88 the nearest team came to within just 16 points of the Tigers
ldquoThis was a real-ly good group to work withrdquo Belton coach Mike Morgan said ldquoOne of the big selling points to the kids was that they had a tremendous opportunity to go out and compete each week As the season progressed and the team kept winning we talked about the opportunity to be perfect as a team There is never a perfect
play in a game and never a perfect game it is not possible But a team has the opportunity to have a perfect season and that is what the JV Red was able to accomplish They are a very unselfish group of players and they bought in that if they played extremely hard and did their job then they would have a great chance to be successfulrdquo
The Belton JV White team finished 6-2 against tough competition as well outscoring the oppo-sition 181-112 Though games against Stony Point (weather) and Ellison (JV teams merged) were cancelled coach Jason Moffett and his staff worked hard with their players to guide them towards success
ldquoWe try to find ways to really make the White Team importantrdquo Moffett said ldquoWe try not to allow our guys to think of themselves as ldquoBrdquo Team players We want to win ball games and be district champs no matter what the level We spend a lot of time coaching these guys I think a lot more than some other teams in
our area I saw improve-ment defensively over the course of the year in terms of alignment assignment and tacklingrdquo
The Belton Freshman Red team finished 7-3 outscoring opponents 273-146 A few of the freshmen were called up to junior varsity through-out the season
ldquoFreshmen improved from the start of camp all the way until the last game of the yearrdquo Belton coach Al Maxwell said ldquoThe improvement was most evident in the physi-cal condition and most importantly the mental toughness of the team as a wholerdquo
The Freshman White team was two points from a perfect season in their own rights (a late-season loss to Midway 29-27) having gone 9-1 in 2015 outscoring opponents 269-94
The Freshman Gray team played just a 7-game schedule and finished 2-4-1 having been out-scored 101-66 Most of the players were brought up to Freshman Red and Freshman White at the completion of the sched-
uleldquoThe guys achieved
good things this foot-ball season by winning 18 games and compet-ing with three teamsrdquo Maxwell said ldquoThe guysrsquo mental toughness was on display each game and showed when games became tough and crowds were hostile The guys did very this season and will look to win a district championship next sea-sonrdquo
The key to the success of the Tigers sub-varsity programs is the work that the players put in and the coaching staff and how they coach It is a uni-formed system up and down the ranks
ldquoWe spend a lot of time as coaches with our sub-varsity teamsrdquo Belton head football coach Bob Shipley said ldquoI canrsquot imagine any sub-varsi-ty teams in our district who get more individual coaching from varsity coaches than our kids do The JV kids have to be scout team players of course but we spend a lot of time with them out-side of varsity practice They are well-prepared
every week If you want to change a culture and have kids expecting to win you have to invest a lot of time in them before they are varsity players Our kids are learning how to win for sure Irsquove had kids tell me several times that they never won more than a game or two in middle school and they love win-ning in high school That lets us know that itrsquos all worth itrdquo
The talent is so abun-dant in the Belton sub-varsity system that the varsity team is able to bring up players to add to their depth and keep the junior varsity and fresh-man teams very competi-tive Although there are too many potential names to name players to watch in particular over the next season or two or three Shipley believes that the
10th grade season for a football player is one of the most critical seasons
ldquoThere are several JV players we expect to start for us next yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoIt should be that way every year We only had 2 sophomore players on varsity the majority of the season I think 10th grade is a critical time for players They need to be playing as much as pos-sible If theyrsquore going to be on varsity as sophomores they need to be starting because theyrsquore not get-ting any better standing on the sidelines They need to be getting every snap on Thursday nights so they can continue to develop as players and improverdquo
Congratulations to all five teams on a successful 2015 season

By Tony AdamsSports Editor
Last Friday nightrsquos bi-dis-trict playoff game between the Belton Tigers and the Rowlett Eagles was loaded with ups and downs There were so many great perfor-mances including Davion Peoples scoring rushing touchdowns on three con-secutive scores including his school record-breaking 98-yard run on his way to a 200-plus yard rushing night and Peyton Mansellrsquos ability to navigate the Tigers up and down the field
ldquoObviously we did some good things offensivelyrdquo Belton head coach Bob Shipley said ldquoWe didnrsquot turn the ball over which we knew would be key The offensive line did a good job most of the night and of course we had some receivers come up with some big plays I thought Peyton (Mansell) played really well especially for his first playoff gamerdquo
ldquoOffensively our kids did a great job execut-ing the game plan we preached all week that we couldnrsquot have that lull on offense that we have had from time to timerdquo Belton offensive coordinator Sam Skidmore said ldquoThe offen-sive line controlled the line of scrimmage DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) did a great job seeing the holes running well and blocking Peyton did it through the air and on the ground and really stepped up and led the entire receiving corps did a great job I think almost everyone had a catch and did a great job blocking as wellrdquo
As heartbreaking as the
loss was it was the high mark for points scored in a game this season and set a school record for points in a season with 452 There was absolutely no quit in the 48 minutes
ldquoDefensively it was just a long nightrdquo Shipley said ldquoWe made a couple of stops but didnrsquot in the fourth quarter when we had too They were very athletic and had a great quarterback I thought our kids fought so hard and Irsquom proud of them for that My only disappointment offensively were penalties that hurt our field position and the inability to get first downs when we had the lead in the fourth quarterrdquo
ldquoVery impressed with the resiliency our kids showedrdquo Belton special teams coach Mike Morgan said ldquoIt was a very emotional game and our kids kept responding over and over againrdquo
Ramonce Taylor was on the sidelines for the last couple of games and has been very encouraging towards the team He was so happy for Peoples when he broke his school record for the longest run
ldquoRamonce has been to several games this yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoItrsquos always great to see him and have him giving our kids point-ers I donrsquot think anyone would argue that he has to be one of the greatest athletes to ever represent Belton High School Hersquos back in school and wants to be a coach After seeing the way our kids respond to him I think hersquod be a great onerdquo
ldquoWe were very glad to have Ramonce on the side-linerdquo Skidmore said ldquoThe kids can relate and he was encouraging the kids being
involved and I know our kids enjoyed him being aroundrdquo
When discussing with the coaches the bi-district playoff game outcomes the 10-7 Shoemaker win over Sachse was a surprise to many in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex But to the Belton staff it wasnrsquot
ldquoI knew Shoemaker had a good defense but I was a little surprised by the scorerdquo Shipley said ldquoSachse has playmakers all over the field I think it shows people that our district can compete with any district in the state Every school has a great coaching staff Irsquove been very impressed with the coaches in our district and of course the athletes we see week in and week out are amazingrdquo
ldquoNo I expected Shoemaker to give them fits the match up of Kendall Jones on Sachsersquos center was going play big in favor of Shoemakerrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAlso Shoemakerrsquos overall defensive speed and tenacity gave Sachse fits I donrsquot know for sure but Irsquom assuming Shoemakerrsquos defensive line and front seven was disruptive all night against Sachsersquos offensive linerdquo
ldquoShoemaker was not a surprise at allrdquo Morgan said ldquoHolding Sachse to zero offensive touchdowns was quite an accomplish-ment But the unit that Shoemaker is able to put on the field defensively will probably not be appreci-ated until all of those guys have graduated Midway performed about like I thought they would Aside from the early season loss-es they have been a very good team the last eight weeksrdquo
The Tigers had a great season despite a 5-6 record There were highlights and lowlights as every season has
ldquoThe two games at Killeen were exciting but I think the way our kids came out and played against Hendrickson and Stony Point was a highlight for the regular seasonrdquo Shipley said ldquoThose teams beat us badly last year and our kids showed that we are a different team this year I was also proud of the way we came out against Midway as well It was a far cry from last year when we were never in the gamerdquo
ldquoI thought our offense made great strides this yearrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAt times we were very explo-sive and put up good num-bers The offensive line played well all year Shack was a great leader and it was awesome to see the prog-ress of Jerrod (Jackson) Javon (Chambers) (Jacob) Dumas and Caleb Smith Jaylin Bryant You couldnrsquot have asked for a better 1-2 punch than DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) Those two had great seasons Peyton (Mansell) got better every game he was a real leader and battled every game The leadership and tenac-ity to win he showed was impressive The receiv-ers got better all year and Olajuwon (Taylor) step-ping up and making plays all year long was hugerdquo
ldquoThe 2015 Tigers were a great bunch to coachrdquo Morgan said ldquoThere were times we had it rolling in all three phases of the game and times when we were one or two first downs or one or two stops away from breaking close games
open With all of the offen-sive skill kids who had to be replaced from 2014 I was very proud of the way new guys developed and became such weapons offensively It all started and ended with the out-standing play of our offen-sive line and tight end I thought Zach Shackelford lead that group to being very good and new coach Jacob Hunter did an out-standing job as well Most disappointing was the early season struggles of our punt team and the impact it had on our Hendrickson Stony Point and Copperas Cove losses Kickers Roberto Barrios and Ryan Smith were very effective and improved dramatically from seasonrsquos start to endrdquo
Belton led in every game this season and five of the six losses came within the final minute (a total of 16 points in those five games) Things happen in foot-ball and this team could have finished with a 2-8 record and as good as 10-1 They set a school record for points in a season (452 in 11 games shattering the 1993 record of 425 in 1993 in 12 games)
ldquoWe had a lot of tough breaks this yearrdquo Shipley added ldquoI think the clock malfunctioning at Hendrickson had an effect on the outcome of the game Hendrickson scored two touchdowns in the sec-ond quarter that Irsquom not sure they would have had time to score if the clock was working properly I really feel that the Stony Point game came down to the fourth-down spot at the end of the game That sounds like an excuse but if you were at the game you know exactly what Irsquom
talking about The kids cer-tainly played well enough to win The Shoemaker game could have gone either way as could the Cove game Irsquove had seasons where the ball bounced our way and we got some breaks but unfortunately this wasnrsquot one of themrdquo
Defensively the team may have struggled and gave up yardage and points But the solid play of defensive line lineback-ers and secondary was there John Harvey Chris Jones Carlton Shanks III Brandon Gangloff Garrison Vaughn CJ Jones DJ Fisher Cody Garrett Reagan Chapman and a host of other defensive players played well against a schedule of solid teams
ldquoWinning is difficult in 6A football regardless of what team you are a part ofrdquo Morgan said ldquoI think the biggest thing moving forward is our guys have to understand the impor-tance of every play in the outcome of a close ball-game There can never be a letdown or lapse in focus in a tight ball game On the bright side the 2015 Tigers never quit and put themselves in situations to win every ball game they played this year
As is the case every sea-son teams lose a good number of seniors to grad-uation The 2016 Belton seniors have meant a great deal to the Belton Tigers football tradition
ldquoTheyrsquove put a lot into this thingrdquo Shipley said ldquoThey bought in and worked their tails off Not many teams across the state have over 100 kids that show up at 545 every morning to work out and our seniors led the wayrdquo

on seven indicators with the possibility of earning up to 30 points Belton ISD received a per-fect score earning all 30 points
At the direction of the legislature TEA began issuing the FIRST report in 2003 This year a new passfail scoring system replaced an earlier sys-tem that rated districts as attaining ldquosuperior achievementrdquo ldquoabove-standard achievementrdquo
ldquostandard achievementrdquo or ldquosubstandard achieve-mentrdquo Belton ISD has received the highest avail-able rating on 12 of the 13 reports that have been issued to date

Santa Pal Blue Santa returns to Morganrsquos Point Resort
By David TumaThe Belton Journal
Tim Bower found his love after football Some football players go back to coaching or into business of some sort The discipline of the sport pays off in the business world for many young men in Texas Many businesses in Belton to this day are run by ex-football players the same is true for Temple or most towns that have a football team
Bower more than likely is going to spend the rest of his life working on a ranch of some sort That is really what he would like to do This past summer he worked at the Philmont Scout Ranch taking scouts on trail rides Tim is an Eagle Scout and has been to the ranch several times while in the scouts
The Philmont is near Cimarron New Mexico just east of Taos Bower worked with young scouts on two hour trail rides daily Bad weather conditions tend to slow things down or have the ride can-celed
ldquoThere were kids from the big
cities that were scared to death of the horse at first Some of them had never seen a horse in person They picked it up real quick After two hours on that first ride the inside of the knees got real sorerdquo said Bower
There is a difference between hik-ing in the mountains and riding a horse Walking in the mountains you have to spend a lot of time watching your feet You are either going up or down and usually there is a drop off Some kids have been near a horse some havenrsquot There is more to a trail ride with kids than
what you would think Both horse and rider need to be compatible
Bower and the other trail boss-es would start saddling the 18-25 horses at 5 am The ride would start at 8 am They gave a demon-stration of what to do
ldquoWe tried to assign the kids a horse that was a match to the personality of both You walk the horse around
with the kid on board Then you adjust the stirups and the cinch When you ride you see so much more of the beauty of the moun-tains We had kids from Chicago that had never seen a horse before There are four different camps that offer ridesrdquo said Bower
There were two wranglers for every 15 riders Bower also got to go on several 5-day rides one of the camps offer Each night they camped in the mountains From listening to Bower it was hard to tell who had more fun the scouts or him
The ranch he worked on is a huge place totaling over 127000 acres and 214 square miles Craig Bower took Tim his son to the camp twice in 2006 and 2008
ldquoI told my dad I wanted to work on the ranch I donrsquot remember that but he did I wake up to a beautiful sunrise and elk It gets cold here but being from Texas makes it hard to judge what is cold We worked with a girl from Chicago and she said it was okay I still think it was cold My favorite memories are from this ranch I did get to scout from some Elk right before I left Being 30-yards from a bull elk is awesomerdquo said Bower
He broke two smart phones early in his work on the ranch He switched to flip phones ldquoYou donrsquot need all that fancy Facebook stuff up thererdquo said Bower He plans to go back again and again he intends to do some hunting with his family
He has also won a buckle at a rodeo held at a local town near the ranch During one of the competi-tions he thought he cracked a rib Tim won the buckle after a quick call to his father to make sure it was a broken rib It was the final event he participated in

Is your charity effectiveSpecial to the Journal
Donors give to charity throughout the year but the charity watchdog group Charity Navigator reports that around 40 percent of donors make their annual contributions between Thanksgiving and New Yearrsquos Day No matter when one gives the decision to support a charity should never be made lightly Some people choose to donate to charities that focus on causes that resonate with them Emotional feelings can drive donation deci-sions but itrsquos important to do some research into the charitable organization to determine how ef-ficiently the charity operates and how effective the organization ultimately is at fulfilling its mission Look at how much of your money actually goes to-ward the cause you are supporting paying atten-tion to how the organization allocates donations The majority of donation dollars should go to the cause and not toward organizational overhead Here are some questions to ask before selecting a charity
middot Does the charity address the most serious problems in the most cost-effective ways
middot How much money is devoted to overhead ver-sus program outreach
middot Are the charityrsquos interventions really workingmiddot Will this charity help the greatest number of
people with your donationmiddot Is the organization honest and transparentIndividuals can make use of resources made
available by the Better Business Bureau Charity Navigator and GiveWell to see if charities meet their criteria

The Body of Christ Community Clinic has joined in a growing international movement called GivingTuesday This is a desig-nated day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individu-als communities and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity worldwide The day itself falls on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving each year meaning the actual GivingTuesday for 2015 falls on December 1
The Body of Christ Clinic is part-nering with several local businesses and organizations to celebrate gen-erosity and promote giving on three separate TuesdaysmdashNovember 17th and 24th and December 1st (the global GivingTuesday date)
On November 17th our partner
Grand Avenue Theater in Belton will be offering $5 movies all day and a percentage of all their con-cession sales will be donated to the Clinic
On that same day the University of Mary Hardin Baylor will kick off a GivingThanks initiative in con-junction with our GivingTuesday effort Students will be able to write something for which they are grateful on a large poster and take a photograph of themselves with the poster They will also be encour-aged to make a donation to the Clinic and take another selfie this time called an ldquounselfierdquo as they make a charitable contribution
The Body of Christ Community Clinic is a team of local volun-teers committed to carrying out the compassionate healing ministry of Christ by providing personalized quality health services to the medi-cally underserved in the greater Belton and Salado ISD areas Our Vision is to be recognized as a Christ-Centered healthcare pro-vider enabling all in our commu-nity to achieve healthy living in mind body and spirit There is a great need for health services in
our community as poverty levels and uninsured rates are both high especially among minority popula-tions
Over 100 volunteers staff the Clinic rotating their services to cover the hours of operation These include doctors dentists nurses physician assistants dental assistants hygienists social work-ers and clerical techs The only paid positions are those of a full time Executive Director a part- time nurse practitioner (5hrs) a week and patient scheduler (3hrs) The Clinic is a 501 (c) (3) not for profit organization and finan-cial support for the Clinic comes from area churches and individual donors The Clinic receives no fed-eral or state funding The Clinic has been in operation for five years All the volunteers at the Clinic are men and women dedicated to expressing love and compassion to those without access to medical and dental care

The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor football team blew open a tight game with 60 consecu-tive points and the Cru rolled to a 67-20 victory over East Texas Baptist Saturday afternoon at Crusader Stadium in Belton

UMHB grabbed a 7-0 lead when Zach Anderson threw a 38-yard touch-down pass to DeNerian Thomas on the Crursquos first
offensive play UMHB forced a punt on ETBUrsquos ensuing possession but fumbled the ball away to

It was a crazy opening night to the 2015 Texas UIL Class 6A-Region I Bi-District Playoffs at Homer B Johnson Stadium in Garland Friday night as the Belton Tigers traveled to take on the Rowlett Eagles
From the opening kick-off to the final whistle the game was track meet of epic proportions In the end the Tigers were unable to stop the Eagles
late and were stopped on a last-ditch effort inside the final minute Rowlett advanced to the area round against Dallas Skyline with a 65-64 win over Belton
The Tigers ended their season 5-6
Belton took the open-ing kickoff and performed some trickeration as Davion Peoples pitched the ball to Olajuwon Taylor after receiving the ball Taylor went 40 yards to start the Tigers on their own 40-yard line Peoples
ran the first play from scrimmage for 15 yards and the third play for 17 yards The plays set up a field goal of 37 yards from Roberto Barrios to give the Tigers a 3-0 lead with 1006 to play in the first quarter
Rowlett answered the score with a touch-down of 26 yards from Logan Bonner to LaDarius Pickens Alvin Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 7-3 lead with 722 to play in the opening stanza
Carlton Shanks III took a pooch kick by the Eagles 57 yards to the Rowlett 8 to set up Peoplesrsquo eight-yard run on the next play A bad snap caused holder Anthony Mirabel to pull in the ball and break for the right pylon Mirabel appeared to have made it to the inside of the pylon by the replay but the ref-eree claimed he went out of bounds and called the conversion attempt no good Belton led 9-7 lead with 702 to go in the first quarter
One of the Rowlett returners was rocked by a hit and fumbled but one of the Eagles recovered the ball on the Rowlett 33 Bonner connected with Quinton Stinson for a 63-yard pass comple-tion down to the Belton 2 Bonner snuck the ball into the end zone on the next play Chris Luplowrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 14-9 lead with 641 to go in the quarter
Belton took the next possession down to the Rowlett 45 but turned
the ball over on downs when Peoples was stopped at the Rowlett 44 on fourth down and three The Eagles took the ball and drove it down to the Belton 7 Great defen-sive plays by Garrison Vaughn Bryan Thomas and John Harvey kept the ball out of the end zone forcing the Eagles to settle for a Kenworthy 23-yard field goal Rowlett led 17-9 with 227 left in the first period

On the next play from scrimmage Morrow took a delayed hand off waited for a hole to open burst through it and dashed 74 yards for a Rowlett score Luplowrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 44-37 lead with 813 to

teams play by Harvey the Eagles started their next drive at their own 28-yard line Rowlett drove the ball down to the Belton 41 and were forced into a fourth and two situation Bonner dropped back to pass and Vaughn stepped in front of the receiver at the Belton 2 and intercepted the ball with 950 left on the fourth quarter clock
Peoples always up for big-game plays busted off one of the biggest runs in recent Tiger his-tory He took the hand off Mansell made three jukes broke into the open and raced 98 yards for an electrifying Tiger score The two-point
conversion was good and the Tiger fans cheered on the effort as Belton led by 13 points 64-51 with 933 to play
Rowlett answered the call again putting together a 64-yard drive capped by a 24-yard pass from Bonner to Morrow Luplowrsquos extra-point made the score 64-58 with 714 to go

Shanks and Jones made two good defensive stops on the first two plays of Rowlettrsquos next drive Bonner found Dickens for a 11-yard comple-tion for a first down and put the Eagles in striking distance again On third down and two on the Belton 8 Bonner scrambled around the right side and got the benefit of a hold from Rowlettrsquos right tackle in front of the referee as he went in for the score Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett the lead 65-64 with 233 to play in the game
Belton started to move the ball down the field on their final drive Peoples had two rushes for eight yards and Brandon bust-ed off a 12-yard run On second down and 10 at the Rowlett 30 the Tigers drew a critical holding call which set them back 10 yards On the next play Mansell threw the ball towards Taylor who was being held for 10 yards by the jersey by the safety The pass was incomplete and no call was made On third down and 20 at the Rowlett 40 Mansell
found Taylor open for a split second over the middle and threw a pass high towards him Taylor was grabbed as he attempted to make the catch and could not make the catch The back judge deemed the ball uncatch-able though Taylorrsquos fingertips appeared to touch the ball On fourth down Mansell scram-bled to find to open man and ran across the field and let a pass go that was short of the target The Tigers had to turn it over on downs with 43 seconds left Rowlett knelt the ball twice and ended the Tigersrsquo season in heartbreaking fashion
It was a bittersweet pill for the Tigers to take as they were turnover-free in the game and had a 13-point lead with 933 to play
ldquoIrsquom proud of the teamrdquo Belton head coach Bob Shipley said ldquoThey just fought and fought the entire game Either team deserved to win Both teams deserved to win Only one could win Yoursquore up 64-51 in the fourth quarter and we just had a tough time stopped them all night They had a really good scheme and really good offense We made some good stops and made the onside kick We were going to run the onside kick whether we got that 15-yard penalty or not There are a lot of situ-ations during the game that could have been the difference in the game The situation I was most disappointed in was that we couldnrsquot get a first down after they scored (with Belton leading 64-58) We shanked the punt and they scored We couldnrsquot get it donerdquo
Despite coming up a point short at the end Shipley was proud of the Tigersrsquo efforts
ldquoI really wanted them to hold up the gold foot-ball and win for our seniors a championship of some sortrdquo Shipley said ldquoBut it didnrsquot hap-pen I know that they laid the foundation to build on for next yearrdquo

Tigers Football sub-varsity teams successful in 2015
LOICONTINUED FROM C1
By Tony AdamsSports Editor
Much in the way of the past two seasons the Belton Tigersrsquo sub-varsity experienced great success in the 2015 season
The five sub-varsity teams went a combined 34-10-1 outscoring teams 1178-541
Thatrsquos an average score of 26-12 A two-touch-down differential com-bined up and down the ranks is an impressive one
The crown jewel in the season was the Belton JV Red team finishing with a perfect 10-0 record Outscoring teams 389-88 the nearest team came to within just 16 points of the Tigers
ldquoThis was a real-ly good group to work withrdquo Belton coach Mike Morgan said ldquoOne of the big selling points to the kids was that they had a tremendous opportunity to go out and compete each week As the season progressed and the team kept winning we talked about the opportunity to be perfect as a team There is never a perfect
play in a game and never a perfect game it is not possible But a team has the opportunity to have a perfect season and that is what the JV Red was able to accomplish They are a very unselfish group of players and they bought in that if they played extremely hard and did their job then they would have a great chance to be successfulrdquo
The Belton JV White team finished 6-2 against tough competition as well outscoring the oppo-sition 181-112 Though games against Stony Point (weather) and Ellison (JV teams merged) were cancelled coach Jason Moffett and his staff worked hard with their players to guide them towards success
ldquoWe try to find ways to really make the White Team importantrdquo Moffett said ldquoWe try not to allow our guys to think of themselves as ldquoBrdquo Team players We want to win ball games and be district champs no matter what the level We spend a lot of time coaching these guys I think a lot more than some other teams in
our area I saw improve-ment defensively over the course of the year in terms of alignment assignment and tacklingrdquo
The Belton Freshman Red team finished 7-3 outscoring opponents 273-146 A few of the freshmen were called up to junior varsity through-out the season
ldquoFreshmen improved from the start of camp all the way until the last game of the yearrdquo Belton coach Al Maxwell said ldquoThe improvement was most evident in the physi-cal condition and most importantly the mental toughness of the team as a wholerdquo
The Freshman White team was two points from a perfect season in their own rights (a late-season loss to Midway 29-27) having gone 9-1 in 2015 outscoring opponents 269-94
The Freshman Gray team played just a 7-game schedule and finished 2-4-1 having been out-scored 101-66 Most of the players were brought up to Freshman Red and Freshman White at the completion of the sched-
uleldquoThe guys achieved
good things this foot-ball season by winning 18 games and compet-ing with three teamsrdquo Maxwell said ldquoThe guysrsquo mental toughness was on display each game and showed when games became tough and crowds were hostile The guys did very this season and will look to win a district championship next sea-sonrdquo
The key to the success of the Tigers sub-varsity programs is the work that the players put in and the coaching staff and how they coach It is a uni-formed system up and down the ranks
ldquoWe spend a lot of time as coaches with our sub-varsity teamsrdquo Belton head football coach Bob Shipley said ldquoI canrsquot imagine any sub-varsi-ty teams in our district who get more individual coaching from varsity coaches than our kids do The JV kids have to be scout team players of course but we spend a lot of time with them out-side of varsity practice They are well-prepared
every week If you want to change a culture and have kids expecting to win you have to invest a lot of time in them before they are varsity players Our kids are learning how to win for sure Irsquove had kids tell me several times that they never won more than a game or two in middle school and they love win-ning in high school That lets us know that itrsquos all worth itrdquo
The talent is so abun-dant in the Belton sub-varsity system that the varsity team is able to bring up players to add to their depth and keep the junior varsity and fresh-man teams very competi-tive Although there are too many potential names to name players to watch in particular over the next season or two or three Shipley believes that the
10th grade season for a football player is one of the most critical seasons
ldquoThere are several JV players we expect to start for us next yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoIt should be that way every year We only had 2 sophomore players on varsity the majority of the season I think 10th grade is a critical time for players They need to be playing as much as pos-sible If theyrsquore going to be on varsity as sophomores they need to be starting because theyrsquore not get-ting any better standing on the sidelines They need to be getting every snap on Thursday nights so they can continue to develop as players and improverdquo
Congratulations to all five teams on a successful 2015 season

By Tony AdamsSports Editor
The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor football team will make its 12th straight NCAA Division III National Championships appear-ance and its 14th in the last 15 years after the Cru earned an at-large bid to the postseason with the announcement of the 32-team field Sunday evening
UMHB will open the postseason on the road with a First Round rematch with American Southwest Conference rival Hardin-Simmons University That game will kick off at 1200 PM at Shelton Stadium in Abilene The game will be broadcast on K1017 FM with the pre-game show starting at 1130 AM on Saturday
Both teams will advance to the postsea-son as at-large selections with 9-1 over records and 4-1 marks in ASC play Hardin-Simmons won the regular season meeting between the two teams 29-26 three weeks ago in Abilene snapping UMHBrsquos 61-game regular sea-son winning streak and 39-game ASC win streak in the process Ryan Breton had 284 yards passing 223 of those to the speedy Jessie Ramos Kerry Sloan had 108 yards on 25 carries for the Cowboys
Zach Anderson and Blake Jackson went a combined 14-of-25 passing for 172 yards Malcolm Miller had 113 yards rushing on 23 carries and Duane Thompson added 49 yards on 13 carries
The two teams will be meeting for the fourth time in the postseason and the 22nd time over-all The Cru has won each of the previous three postseason meet-ings between these two programs and holds a 15-6 all-time edge in the series
ldquoIt feels awesome to be selected and we really did have to sweat it out this seasonrdquo Cru head coach Pete Fredenburg said ldquoIt makes you real-ize what a fragile exis-tence you have in the playoffs and I feel an obligation to make sure we do everything we can to make the most of this opportunity I think the playersrsquo reaction shows that they are excited to be back in the playoffs and we hope that the excitement carries on into our practice and preparation for a big ball game next week-endrdquo
Anderson crossed the 2000-yard passing mark against East Texas Baptist He is 125-of-204 for 2041 yards 19 touchdowns against just four interceptions He also has 247 yards rushing and seven touchdowns Jackson is inserted into the ball-game in certain pack-ages and his numbers are good going 34-of-67 passing for 451 yards six touchdowns against two interceptions while running for 263 yards
and three touchdownsThe ldquorunning back
by committeerdquo pro-cess has worked for the Crusaders in 2015 While the Cru has run for 2593 yards in 10 games this season there are just two running backs over 500 yards Miller with 563 yards on 111 carries with 12 scores and Thompson with 538 yards on 98 totes and six touchdowns Michael Carpenter (48-275 3 TDs) Jackson Anderson Sterling Scott (16-180 3 TDs) and third-string quarterback Zane Boles (20-134 2 TDs) are all over 100 yards rushing for the season
Wykeyhe Walker (42 receptions 778 yards 11 TDs) is UMHBrsquos leading receiver Marcus Wimby (33-540 2 TDs) DeNerian Thomas (30-344 5 TDs) Justin Brumfield (18-189 TD) and Robbie Seybold (10-210) are all viable options are wide receiv-er and tight end for Anderson and Jackson
Breton (108-of-162 1744 yards 20 TDs 3 INT) and Weston Garner (70-of-91 1048 yards 9 TDs 2 INT) navigate the Cowboysrsquo offense with Sloan (164-789 9 TD) getting the bulk of the carries
Ramos gets the major-ity of the looks at wide receiver (75 catches for 1443 yards 16 TDs 192 yards-per-catch) and is dangerous as a punt and kick returner He has 330 yards on 17 punt returns and two touchdowns to go with four kick returns for 130 yards and a touchdown
UMHBrsquos defense is one of the best in the
country with 19 inter-ceptions 49 sacks 122 tackles for 507 yards lost nine forced fum-bles and 11 recovered fumbles Trey Thedford leads the defense with 83 tackles Teidrick Smith has 47 tackles includ-ing a team-leading 21 tackles for 116 yards lost and a team-leading 14 sacks Jon Isom has 165 tackles for loss and is second on the team in sacks with 11 Baylor Mullins Raylon Hickey and Reggie Wilson each have four interceptions

By Tony AdamsSports Editor
Last Friday nightrsquos bi-dis-trict playoff game between the Belton Tigers and the Rowlett Eagles was loaded with ups and downs There were so many great perfor-mances including Davion Peoples scoring rushing touchdowns on three con-secutive scores including his school record-breaking 98-yard run on his way to a 200-plus yard rushing night and Peyton Mansellrsquos ability to navigate the Tigers up and down the field
ldquoObviously we did some good things offensivelyrdquo Belton head coach Bob Shipley said ldquoWe didnrsquot turn the ball over which we knew would be key The offensive line did a good job most of the night and of course we had some receivers come up with some big plays I thought Peyton (Mansell) played really well especially for his first playoff gamerdquo
ldquoOffensively our kids did a great job execut-ing the game plan we preached all week that we couldnrsquot have that lull on offense that we have had from time to timerdquo Belton offensive coordinator Sam Skidmore said ldquoThe offen-sive line controlled the line of scrimmage DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) did a great job seeing the holes running well and blocking Peyton did it through the air and on the ground and really stepped up and led the entire receiving corps did a great job I think almost everyone had a catch and did a great job blocking as wellrdquo
As heartbreaking as the
loss was it was the high mark for points scored in a game this season and set a school record for points in a season with 452 There was absolutely no quit in the 48 minutes
ldquoDefensively it was just a long nightrdquo Shipley said ldquoWe made a couple of stops but didnrsquot in the fourth quarter when we had too They were very athletic and had a great quarterback I thought our kids fought so hard and Irsquom proud of them for that My only disappointment offensively were penalties that hurt our field position and the inability to get first downs when we had the lead in the fourth quarterrdquo
ldquoVery impressed with the resiliency our kids showedrdquo Belton special teams coach Mike Morgan said ldquoIt was a very emotional game and our kids kept responding over and over againrdquo
Ramonce Taylor was on the sidelines for the last couple of games and has been very encouraging towards the team He was so happy for Peoples when he broke his school record for the longest run
ldquoRamonce has been to several games this yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoItrsquos always great to see him and have him giving our kids point-ers I donrsquot think anyone would argue that he has to be one of the greatest athletes to ever represent Belton High School Hersquos back in school and wants to be a coach After seeing the way our kids respond to him I think hersquod be a great onerdquo
ldquoWe were very glad to have Ramonce on the side-linerdquo Skidmore said ldquoThe kids can relate and he was encouraging the kids being
involved and I know our kids enjoyed him being aroundrdquo
When discussing with the coaches the bi-district playoff game outcomes the 10-7 Shoemaker win over Sachse was a surprise to many in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex But to the Belton staff it wasnrsquot
ldquoI knew Shoemaker had a good defense but I was a little surprised by the scorerdquo Shipley said ldquoSachse has playmakers all over the field I think it shows people that our district can compete with any district in the state Every school has a great coaching staff Irsquove been very impressed with the coaches in our district and of course the athletes we see week in and week out are amazingrdquo
ldquoNo I expected Shoemaker to give them fits the match up of Kendall Jones on Sachsersquos center was going play big in favor of Shoemakerrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAlso Shoemakerrsquos overall defensive speed and tenacity gave Sachse fits I donrsquot know for sure but Irsquom assuming Shoemakerrsquos defensive line and front seven was disruptive all night against Sachsersquos offensive linerdquo
ldquoShoemaker was not a surprise at allrdquo Morgan said ldquoHolding Sachse to zero offensive touchdowns was quite an accomplish-ment But the unit that Shoemaker is able to put on the field defensively will probably not be appreci-ated until all of those guys have graduated Midway performed about like I thought they would Aside from the early season loss-es they have been a very good team the last eight weeksrdquo
The Tigers had a great season despite a 5-6 record There were highlights and lowlights as every season has
ldquoThe two games at Killeen were exciting but I think the way our kids came out and played against Hendrickson and Stony Point was a highlight for the regular seasonrdquo Shipley said ldquoThose teams beat us badly last year and our kids showed that we are a different team this year I was also proud of the way we came out against Midway as well It was a far cry from last year when we were never in the gamerdquo
ldquoI thought our offense made great strides this yearrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAt times we were very explo-sive and put up good num-bers The offensive line played well all year Shack was a great leader and it was awesome to see the prog-ress of Jerrod (Jackson) Javon (Chambers) (Jacob) Dumas and Caleb Smith Jaylin Bryant You couldnrsquot have asked for a better 1-2 punch than DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) Those two had great seasons Peyton (Mansell) got better every game he was a real leader and battled every game The leadership and tenac-ity to win he showed was impressive The receiv-ers got better all year and Olajuwon (Taylor) step-ping up and making plays all year long was hugerdquo
ldquoThe 2015 Tigers were a great bunch to coachrdquo Morgan said ldquoThere were times we had it rolling in all three phases of the game and times when we were one or two first downs or one or two stops away from breaking close games
open With all of the offen-sive skill kids who had to be replaced from 2014 I was very proud of the way new guys developed and became such weapons offensively It all started and ended with the out-standing play of our offen-sive line and tight end I thought Zach Shackelford lead that group to being very good and new coach Jacob Hunter did an out-standing job as well Most disappointing was the early season struggles of our punt team and the impact it had on our Hendrickson Stony Point and Copperas Cove losses Kickers Roberto Barrios and Ryan Smith were very effective and improved dramatically from seasonrsquos start to endrdquo
Belton led in every game this season and five of the six losses came within the final minute (a total of 16 points in those five games) Things happen in foot-ball and this team could have finished with a 2-8 record and as good as 10-1 They set a school record for points in a season (452 in 11 games shattering the 1993 record of 425 in 1993 in 12 games)
ldquoWe had a lot of tough breaks this yearrdquo Shipley added ldquoI think the clock malfunctioning at Hendrickson had an effect on the outcome of the game Hendrickson scored two touchdowns in the sec-ond quarter that Irsquom not sure they would have had time to score if the clock was working properly I really feel that the Stony Point game came down to the fourth-down spot at the end of the game That sounds like an excuse but if you were at the game you know exactly what Irsquom
talking about The kids cer-tainly played well enough to win The Shoemaker game could have gone either way as could the Cove game Irsquove had seasons where the ball bounced our way and we got some breaks but unfortunately this wasnrsquot one of themrdquo
Defensively the team may have struggled and gave up yardage and points But the solid play of defensive line lineback-ers and secondary was there John Harvey Chris Jones Carlton Shanks III Brandon Gangloff Garrison Vaughn CJ Jones DJ Fisher Cody Garrett Reagan Chapman and a host of other defensive players played well against a schedule of solid teams
ldquoWinning is difficult in 6A football regardless of what team you are a part ofrdquo Morgan said ldquoI think the biggest thing moving forward is our guys have to understand the impor-tance of every play in the outcome of a close ball-game There can never be a letdown or lapse in focus in a tight ball game On the bright side the 2015 Tigers never quit and put themselves in situations to win every ball game they played this year
As is the case every sea-son teams lose a good number of seniors to grad-uation The 2016 Belton seniors have meant a great deal to the Belton Tigers football tradition
ldquoTheyrsquove put a lot into this thingrdquo Shipley said ldquoThey bought in and worked their tails off Not many teams across the state have over 100 kids that show up at 545 every morning to work out and our seniors led the wayrdquo

Santa Pal Blue Santa returns to Morganrsquos Point Resort
By David TumaThe Belton Journal
Tim Bower found his love after football Some football players go back to coaching or into business of some sort The discipline of the sport pays off in the business world for many young men in Texas Many businesses in Belton to this day are run by ex-football players the same is true for Temple or most towns that have a football team
Bower more than likely is going to spend the rest of his life working on a ranch of some sort That is really what he would like to do This past summer he worked at the Philmont Scout Ranch taking scouts on trail rides Tim is an Eagle Scout and has been to the ranch several times while in the scouts
The Philmont is near Cimarron New Mexico just east of Taos Bower worked with young scouts on two hour trail rides daily Bad weather conditions tend to slow things down or have the ride can-celed
ldquoThere were kids from the big
cities that were scared to death of the horse at first Some of them had never seen a horse in person They picked it up real quick After two hours on that first ride the inside of the knees got real sorerdquo said Bower
There is a difference between hik-ing in the mountains and riding a horse Walking in the mountains you have to spend a lot of time watching your feet You are either going up or down and usually there is a drop off Some kids have been near a horse some havenrsquot There is more to a trail ride with kids than
what you would think Both horse and rider need to be compatible
Bower and the other trail boss-es would start saddling the 18-25 horses at 5 am The ride would start at 8 am They gave a demon-stration of what to do
ldquoWe tried to assign the kids a horse that was a match to the personality of both You walk the horse around
with the kid on board Then you adjust the stirups and the cinch When you ride you see so much more of the beauty of the moun-tains We had kids from Chicago that had never seen a horse before There are four different camps that offer ridesrdquo said Bower
There were two wranglers for every 15 riders Bower also got to go on several 5-day rides one of the camps offer Each night they camped in the mountains From listening to Bower it was hard to tell who had more fun the scouts or him
The ranch he worked on is a huge place totaling over 127000 acres and 214 square miles Craig Bower took Tim his son to the camp twice in 2006 and 2008
ldquoI told my dad I wanted to work on the ranch I donrsquot remember that but he did I wake up to a beautiful sunrise and elk It gets cold here but being from Texas makes it hard to judge what is cold We worked with a girl from Chicago and she said it was okay I still think it was cold My favorite memories are from this ranch I did get to scout from some Elk right before I left Being 30-yards from a bull elk is awesomerdquo said Bower
He broke two smart phones early in his work on the ranch He switched to flip phones ldquoYou donrsquot need all that fancy Facebook stuff up thererdquo said Bower He plans to go back again and again he intends to do some hunting with his family
He has also won a buckle at a rodeo held at a local town near the ranch During one of the competi-tions he thought he cracked a rib Tim won the buckle after a quick call to his father to make sure it was a broken rib It was the final event he participated in

Is your charity effectiveSpecial to the Journal
Donors give to charity throughout the year but the charity watchdog group Charity Navigator reports that around 40 percent of donors make their annual contributions between Thanksgiving and New Yearrsquos Day No matter when one gives the decision to support a charity should never be made lightly Some people choose to donate to charities that focus on causes that resonate with them Emotional feelings can drive donation deci-sions but itrsquos important to do some research into the charitable organization to determine how ef-ficiently the charity operates and how effective the organization ultimately is at fulfilling its mission Look at how much of your money actually goes to-ward the cause you are supporting paying atten-tion to how the organization allocates donations The majority of donation dollars should go to the cause and not toward organizational overhead Here are some questions to ask before selecting a charity
middot Does the charity address the most serious problems in the most cost-effective ways
middot How much money is devoted to overhead ver-sus program outreach
middot Are the charityrsquos interventions really workingmiddot Will this charity help the greatest number of
people with your donationmiddot Is the organization honest and transparentIndividuals can make use of resources made
available by the Better Business Bureau Charity Navigator and GiveWell to see if charities meet their criteria

The Body of Christ Community Clinic has joined in a growing international movement called GivingTuesday This is a desig-nated day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individu-als communities and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity worldwide The day itself falls on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving each year meaning the actual GivingTuesday for 2015 falls on December 1
The Body of Christ Clinic is part-nering with several local businesses and organizations to celebrate gen-erosity and promote giving on three separate TuesdaysmdashNovember 17th and 24th and December 1st (the global GivingTuesday date)
On November 17th our partner
Grand Avenue Theater in Belton will be offering $5 movies all day and a percentage of all their con-cession sales will be donated to the Clinic
On that same day the University of Mary Hardin Baylor will kick off a GivingThanks initiative in con-junction with our GivingTuesday effort Students will be able to write something for which they are grateful on a large poster and take a photograph of themselves with the poster They will also be encour-aged to make a donation to the Clinic and take another selfie this time called an ldquounselfierdquo as they make a charitable contribution
The Body of Christ Community Clinic is a team of local volun-teers committed to carrying out the compassionate healing ministry of Christ by providing personalized quality health services to the medi-cally underserved in the greater Belton and Salado ISD areas Our Vision is to be recognized as a Christ-Centered healthcare pro-vider enabling all in our commu-nity to achieve healthy living in mind body and spirit There is a great need for health services in
our community as poverty levels and uninsured rates are both high especially among minority popula-tions
Over 100 volunteers staff the Clinic rotating their services to cover the hours of operation These include doctors dentists nurses physician assistants dental assistants hygienists social work-ers and clerical techs The only paid positions are those of a full time Executive Director a part- time nurse practitioner (5hrs) a week and patient scheduler (3hrs) The Clinic is a 501 (c) (3) not for profit organization and finan-cial support for the Clinic comes from area churches and individual donors The Clinic receives no fed-eral or state funding The Clinic has been in operation for five years All the volunteers at the Clinic are men and women dedicated to expressing love and compassion to those without access to medical and dental care

By Tony AdamsSports Editor
The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor football team blew open a tight game with 60 consecu-tive points and the Cru rolled to a 67-20 victory over East Texas Baptist Saturday afternoon at Crusader Stadium in Belton
UMHB clinched a share of the American Southwest Conference title by handing the Tigers their first conference loss and sets up a tri-cham-pionship with UMHB ETBU and Hardin-Simmons
UMHB grabbed a 7-0 lead when Zach Anderson threw a 38-yard touch-down pass to DeNerian Thomas on the Crursquos first
offensive play UMHB forced a punt on ETBUrsquos ensuing possession but fumbled the ball away to
the Tigers on the Crursquos 13-yard line Kendall Roberson scored on a nine-yard run three play-ers later but ETBU missed the extra point to leave UMHB with a 7-6 lead Wykeyhe Walker hauled in a 23-yard TD pass from Anderson Malcom Miller scored on a one-yard run on the next Cru possession and Anderson

It was a crazy opening night to the 2015 Texas UIL Class 6A-Region I Bi-District Playoffs at Homer B Johnson Stadium in Garland Friday night as the Belton Tigers traveled to take on the Rowlett Eagles
From the opening kick-off to the final whistle the game was track meet of epic proportions In the end the Tigers were unable to stop the Eagles
late and were stopped on a last-ditch effort inside the final minute Rowlett advanced to the area round against Dallas Skyline with a 65-64 win over Belton
The Tigers ended their season 5-6
Belton took the open-ing kickoff and performed some trickeration as Davion Peoples pitched the ball to Olajuwon Taylor after receiving the ball Taylor went 40 yards to start the Tigers on their own 40-yard line Peoples
ran the first play from scrimmage for 15 yards and the third play for 17 yards The plays set up a field goal of 37 yards from Roberto Barrios to give the Tigers a 3-0 lead with 1006 to play in the first quarter
Rowlett answered the score with a touch-down of 26 yards from Logan Bonner to LaDarius Pickens Alvin Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 7-3 lead with 722 to play in the opening stanza
Carlton Shanks III took a pooch kick by the Eagles 57 yards to the Rowlett 8 to set up Peoplesrsquo eight-yard run on the next play A bad snap caused holder Anthony Mirabel to pull in the ball and break for the right pylon Mirabel appeared to have made it to the inside of the pylon by the replay but the ref-eree claimed he went out of bounds and called the conversion attempt no good Belton led 9-7 lead with 702 to go in the first quarter
One of the Rowlett returners was rocked by a hit and fumbled but one of the Eagles recovered the ball on the Rowlett 33 Bonner connected with Quinton Stinson for a 63-yard pass comple-tion down to the Belton 2 Bonner snuck the ball into the end zone on the next play Chris Luplowrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 14-9 lead with 641 to go in the quarter
Belton took the next possession down to the Rowlett 45 but turned
the ball over on downs when Peoples was stopped at the Rowlett 44 on fourth down and three The Eagles took the ball and drove it down to the Belton 7 Great defen-sive plays by Garrison Vaughn Bryan Thomas and John Harvey kept the ball out of the end zone forcing the Eagles to settle for a Kenworthy 23-yard field goal Rowlett led 17-9 with 227 left in the first period

Luplowrsquos extra-point made the score 37-23 with 42 seconds to go in the half

Belton got a defen-sive stand to start the third quarter as Shanks Vaughn and Chris Jones made three stops in a row on Bonner and forced Rowlett to punt
The Tigers got the ball at midfield to start their first second-half posses-sion Mansellrsquos 30-yard run set the table for his own 1-yard touchdown run to cap off the 8-play 50-yard drive Barriosrsquo extra-point tied the score at 37-37
On the next play from scrimmage Morrow took a delayed hand off waited for a hole to open burst through it and dashed 74 yards for a Rowlett score Luplowrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 44-37 lead with 813 to
go in the third quarterAnother good return

recovered the onside kick at the Rowlett 33 and started back to workFollowing a three-yard pass from Mansell to Bubba Marshall Peoples burst around end and raced 30 yards to give the Tigers the lead 50-44 Barriosrsquo extra-point try sailed wide left keeping the Tigers in the lead by six
Bonnerrsquos pass to Lewis for 10 yards set up a 53-yard option pitch run by Morrow down to the Belton 3 Kofi McDonald and Brandon Gangloff made huge stops to force third down Morrow pounded the ball into the end zone and Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave the Eagles a one-point lead with 129 to
play in the third quarter 51-50
After a short kickoff by Rowlett Demeatric Brandon busted off a 49-yard run down the sidelines to the Rowlett 15 Peoplesrsquo ran the ball in for a touchdown on the next play to give Belton to lead once again The Tigers lined up for a two-point conversion and Rowlett called time-out right before the play Belton trotted the point-after team back on and tried for an extra point which sailed wide right The Tigers led 56-51 with 56 seconds left in
the third quarterAfter a great special
teams play by Harvey the Eagles started their next drive at their own 28-yard line Rowlett drove the ball down to the Belton 41 and were forced into a fourth and two situation Bonner dropped back to pass and Vaughn stepped in front of the receiver at the Belton 2 and intercepted the ball with 950 left on the fourth quarter clock
Peoples always up for big-game plays busted off one of the biggest runs in recent Tiger his-tory He took the hand off Mansell made three jukes broke into the open and raced 98 yards for an electrifying Tiger score The two-point
conversion was good and the Tiger fans cheered on the effort as Belton led by 13 points 64-51 with 933 to play
Rowlett answered the call again putting together a 64-yard drive capped by a 24-yard pass from Bonner to Morrow Luplowrsquos extra-point made the score 64-58 with 714 to go
Belton got the ball back at their own 18-yard line and ended up in a third and six situation at their own 22-yard line Mansell scrambled towards the Rowlett sidelines looking for an open man He ended up out of bounds on a hard hit and was down for a couple of moments Belton had to send out backup punter Lutz to kick the ball away on fourth down The ball went off the side of his foot and Rowlett ended up with great field posi-tion at the Belton 41
Shanks and Jones made two good defensive stops on the first two plays of Rowlettrsquos next drive Bonner found Dickens for a 11-yard comple-tion for a first down and put the Eagles in striking distance again On third down and two on the Belton 8 Bonner scrambled around the right side and got the benefit of a hold from Rowlettrsquos right tackle in front of the referee as he went in for the score Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett the lead 65-64 with 233 to play in the game
Belton started to move the ball down the field on their final drive Peoples had two rushes for eight yards and Brandon bust-ed off a 12-yard run On second down and 10 at the Rowlett 30 the Tigers drew a critical holding call which set them back 10 yards On the next play Mansell threw the ball towards Taylor who was being held for 10 yards by the jersey by the safety The pass was incomplete and no call was made On third down and 20 at the Rowlett 40 Mansell
found Taylor open for a split second over the middle and threw a pass high towards him Taylor was grabbed as he attempted to make the catch and could not make the catch The back judge deemed the ball uncatch-able though Taylorrsquos fingertips appeared to touch the ball On fourth down Mansell scram-bled to find to open man and ran across the field and let a pass go that was short of the target The Tigers had to turn it over on downs with 43 seconds left Rowlett knelt the ball twice and ended the Tigersrsquo season in heartbreaking fashion
It was a bittersweet pill for the Tigers to take as they were turnover-free in the game and had a 13-point lead with 933 to play
ldquoIrsquom proud of the teamrdquo Belton head coach Bob Shipley said ldquoThey just fought and fought the entire game Either team deserved to win Both teams deserved to win Only one could win Yoursquore up 64-51 in the fourth quarter and we just had a tough time stopped them all night They had a really good scheme and really good offense We made some good stops and made the onside kick We were going to run the onside kick whether we got that 15-yard penalty or not There are a lot of situ-ations during the game that could have been the difference in the game The situation I was most disappointed in was that we couldnrsquot get a first down after they scored (with Belton leading 64-58) We shanked the punt and they scored We couldnrsquot get it donerdquo
Despite coming up a point short at the end Shipley was proud of the Tigersrsquo efforts
ldquoI really wanted them to hold up the gold foot-ball and win for our seniors a championship of some sortrdquo Shipley said ldquoBut it didnrsquot hap-pen I know that they laid the foundation to build on for next yearrdquo

Tigers Football sub-varsity teams successful in 2015
LOICONTINUED FROM C1
By Tony AdamsSports Editor
Much in the way of the past two seasons the Belton Tigersrsquo sub-varsity experienced great success in the 2015 season
The five sub-varsity teams went a combined 34-10-1 outscoring teams 1178-541
Thatrsquos an average score of 26-12 A two-touch-down differential com-bined up and down the ranks is an impressive one
The crown jewel in the season was the Belton JV Red team finishing with a perfect 10-0 record Outscoring teams 389-88 the nearest team came to within just 16 points of the Tigers
ldquoThis was a real-ly good group to work withrdquo Belton coach Mike Morgan said ldquoOne of the big selling points to the kids was that they had a tremendous opportunity to go out and compete each week As the season progressed and the team kept winning we talked about the opportunity to be perfect as a team There is never a perfect
play in a game and never a perfect game it is not possible But a team has the opportunity to have a perfect season and that is what the JV Red was able to accomplish They are a very unselfish group of players and they bought in that if they played extremely hard and did their job then they would have a great chance to be successfulrdquo
The Belton JV White team finished 6-2 against tough competition as well outscoring the oppo-sition 181-112 Though games against Stony Point (weather) and Ellison (JV teams merged) were cancelled coach Jason Moffett and his staff worked hard with their players to guide them towards success
ldquoWe try to find ways to really make the White Team importantrdquo Moffett said ldquoWe try not to allow our guys to think of themselves as ldquoBrdquo Team players We want to win ball games and be district champs no matter what the level We spend a lot of time coaching these guys I think a lot more than some other teams in
our area I saw improve-ment defensively over the course of the year in terms of alignment assignment and tacklingrdquo
The Belton Freshman Red team finished 7-3 outscoring opponents 273-146 A few of the freshmen were called up to junior varsity through-out the season
ldquoFreshmen improved from the start of camp all the way until the last game of the yearrdquo Belton coach Al Maxwell said ldquoThe improvement was most evident in the physi-cal condition and most importantly the mental toughness of the team as a wholerdquo
The Freshman White team was two points from a perfect season in their own rights (a late-season loss to Midway 29-27) having gone 9-1 in 2015 outscoring opponents 269-94
The Freshman Gray team played just a 7-game schedule and finished 2-4-1 having been out-scored 101-66 Most of the players were brought up to Freshman Red and Freshman White at the completion of the sched-
uleldquoThe guys achieved
good things this foot-ball season by winning 18 games and compet-ing with three teamsrdquo Maxwell said ldquoThe guysrsquo mental toughness was on display each game and showed when games became tough and crowds were hostile The guys did very this season and will look to win a district championship next sea-sonrdquo
The key to the success of the Tigers sub-varsity programs is the work that the players put in and the coaching staff and how they coach It is a uni-formed system up and down the ranks
ldquoWe spend a lot of time as coaches with our sub-varsity teamsrdquo Belton head football coach Bob Shipley said ldquoI canrsquot imagine any sub-varsi-ty teams in our district who get more individual coaching from varsity coaches than our kids do The JV kids have to be scout team players of course but we spend a lot of time with them out-side of varsity practice They are well-prepared
every week If you want to change a culture and have kids expecting to win you have to invest a lot of time in them before they are varsity players Our kids are learning how to win for sure Irsquove had kids tell me several times that they never won more than a game or two in middle school and they love win-ning in high school That lets us know that itrsquos all worth itrdquo
The talent is so abun-dant in the Belton sub-varsity system that the varsity team is able to bring up players to add to their depth and keep the junior varsity and fresh-man teams very competi-tive Although there are too many potential names to name players to watch in particular over the next season or two or three Shipley believes that the
10th grade season for a football player is one of the most critical seasons
ldquoThere are several JV players we expect to start for us next yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoIt should be that way every year We only had 2 sophomore players on varsity the majority of the season I think 10th grade is a critical time for players They need to be playing as much as pos-sible If theyrsquore going to be on varsity as sophomores they need to be starting because theyrsquore not get-ting any better standing on the sidelines They need to be getting every snap on Thursday nights so they can continue to develop as players and improverdquo
Congratulations to all five teams on a successful 2015 season

By Tony AdamsSports Editor
The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor football team will make its 12th straight NCAA Division III National Championships appear-ance and its 14th in the last 15 years after the Cru earned an at-large bid to the postseason with the announcement of the 32-team field Sunday evening
UMHB will open the postseason on the road with a First Round rematch with American Southwest Conference rival Hardin-Simmons University That game will kick off at 1200 PM at Shelton Stadium in Abilene The game will be broadcast on K1017 FM with the pre-game show starting at 1130 AM on Saturday
Both teams will advance to the postsea-son as at-large selections with 9-1 over records and 4-1 marks in ASC play Hardin-Simmons won the regular season meeting between the two teams 29-26 three weeks ago in Abilene snapping UMHBrsquos 61-game regular sea-son winning streak and 39-game ASC win streak in the process Ryan Breton had 284 yards passing 223 of those to the speedy Jessie Ramos Kerry Sloan had 108 yards on 25 carries for the Cowboys
Zach Anderson and Blake Jackson went a combined 14-of-25 passing for 172 yards Malcolm Miller had 113 yards rushing on 23 carries and Duane Thompson added 49 yards on 13 carries
The two teams will be meeting for the fourth time in the postseason and the 22nd time over-all The Cru has won each of the previous three postseason meet-ings between these two programs and holds a 15-6 all-time edge in the series
ldquoIt feels awesome to be selected and we really did have to sweat it out this seasonrdquo Cru head coach Pete Fredenburg said ldquoIt makes you real-ize what a fragile exis-tence you have in the playoffs and I feel an obligation to make sure we do everything we can to make the most of this opportunity I think the playersrsquo reaction shows that they are excited to be back in the playoffs and we hope that the excitement carries on into our practice and preparation for a big ball game next week-endrdquo
Anderson crossed the 2000-yard passing mark against East Texas Baptist He is 125-of-204 for 2041 yards 19 touchdowns against just four interceptions He also has 247 yards rushing and seven touchdowns Jackson is inserted into the ball-game in certain pack-ages and his numbers are good going 34-of-67 passing for 451 yards six touchdowns against two interceptions while running for 263 yards
and three touchdownsThe ldquorunning back
by committeerdquo pro-cess has worked for the Crusaders in 2015 While the Cru has run for 2593 yards in 10 games this season there are just two running backs over 500 yards Miller with 563 yards on 111 carries with 12 scores and Thompson with 538 yards on 98 totes and six touchdowns Michael Carpenter (48-275 3 TDs) Jackson Anderson Sterling Scott (16-180 3 TDs) and third-string quarterback Zane Boles (20-134 2 TDs) are all over 100 yards rushing for the season
Wykeyhe Walker (42 receptions 778 yards 11 TDs) is UMHBrsquos leading receiver Marcus Wimby (33-540 2 TDs) DeNerian Thomas (30-344 5 TDs) Justin Brumfield (18-189 TD) and Robbie Seybold (10-210) are all viable options are wide receiv-er and tight end for Anderson and Jackson
Breton (108-of-162 1744 yards 20 TDs 3 INT) and Weston Garner (70-of-91 1048 yards 9 TDs 2 INT) navigate the Cowboysrsquo offense with Sloan (164-789 9 TD) getting the bulk of the carries
Ramos gets the major-ity of the looks at wide receiver (75 catches for 1443 yards 16 TDs 192 yards-per-catch) and is dangerous as a punt and kick returner He has 330 yards on 17 punt returns and two touchdowns to go with four kick returns for 130 yards and a touchdown
UMHBrsquos defense is one of the best in the
country with 19 inter-ceptions 49 sacks 122 tackles for 507 yards lost nine forced fum-bles and 11 recovered fumbles Trey Thedford leads the defense with 83 tackles Teidrick Smith has 47 tackles includ-ing a team-leading 21 tackles for 116 yards lost and a team-leading 14 sacks Jon Isom has 165 tackles for loss and is second on the team in sacks with 11 Baylor Mullins Raylon Hickey and Reggie Wilson each have four interceptions

By Tony AdamsSports Editor
Last Friday nightrsquos bi-dis-trict playoff game between the Belton Tigers and the Rowlett Eagles was loaded with ups and downs There were so many great perfor-mances including Davion Peoples scoring rushing touchdowns on three con-secutive scores including his school record-breaking 98-yard run on his way to a 200-plus yard rushing night and Peyton Mansellrsquos ability to navigate the Tigers up and down the field
ldquoObviously we did some good things offensivelyrdquo Belton head coach Bob Shipley said ldquoWe didnrsquot turn the ball over which we knew would be key The offensive line did a good job most of the night and of course we had some receivers come up with some big plays I thought Peyton (Mansell) played really well especially for his first playoff gamerdquo
ldquoOffensively our kids did a great job execut-ing the game plan we preached all week that we couldnrsquot have that lull on offense that we have had from time to timerdquo Belton offensive coordinator Sam Skidmore said ldquoThe offen-sive line controlled the line of scrimmage DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) did a great job seeing the holes running well and blocking Peyton did it through the air and on the ground and really stepped up and led the entire receiving corps did a great job I think almost everyone had a catch and did a great job blocking as wellrdquo
As heartbreaking as the
loss was it was the high mark for points scored in a game this season and set a school record for points in a season with 452 There was absolutely no quit in the 48 minutes
ldquoDefensively it was just a long nightrdquo Shipley said ldquoWe made a couple of stops but didnrsquot in the fourth quarter when we had too They were very athletic and had a great quarterback I thought our kids fought so hard and Irsquom proud of them for that My only disappointment offensively were penalties that hurt our field position and the inability to get first downs when we had the lead in the fourth quarterrdquo
ldquoVery impressed with the resiliency our kids showedrdquo Belton special teams coach Mike Morgan said ldquoIt was a very emotional game and our kids kept responding over and over againrdquo
Ramonce Taylor was on the sidelines for the last couple of games and has been very encouraging towards the team He was so happy for Peoples when he broke his school record for the longest run
ldquoRamonce has been to several games this yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoItrsquos always great to see him and have him giving our kids point-ers I donrsquot think anyone would argue that he has to be one of the greatest athletes to ever represent Belton High School Hersquos back in school and wants to be a coach After seeing the way our kids respond to him I think hersquod be a great onerdquo
ldquoWe were very glad to have Ramonce on the side-linerdquo Skidmore said ldquoThe kids can relate and he was encouraging the kids being
involved and I know our kids enjoyed him being aroundrdquo
When discussing with the coaches the bi-district playoff game outcomes the 10-7 Shoemaker win over Sachse was a surprise to many in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex But to the Belton staff it wasnrsquot
ldquoI knew Shoemaker had a good defense but I was a little surprised by the scorerdquo Shipley said ldquoSachse has playmakers all over the field I think it shows people that our district can compete with any district in the state Every school has a great coaching staff Irsquove been very impressed with the coaches in our district and of course the athletes we see week in and week out are amazingrdquo
ldquoNo I expected Shoemaker to give them fits the match up of Kendall Jones on Sachsersquos center was going play big in favor of Shoemakerrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAlso Shoemakerrsquos overall defensive speed and tenacity gave Sachse fits I donrsquot know for sure but Irsquom assuming Shoemakerrsquos defensive line and front seven was disruptive all night against Sachsersquos offensive linerdquo
ldquoShoemaker was not a surprise at allrdquo Morgan said ldquoHolding Sachse to zero offensive touchdowns was quite an accomplish-ment But the unit that Shoemaker is able to put on the field defensively will probably not be appreci-ated until all of those guys have graduated Midway performed about like I thought they would Aside from the early season loss-es they have been a very good team the last eight weeksrdquo
The Tigers had a great season despite a 5-6 record There were highlights and lowlights as every season has
ldquoThe two games at Killeen were exciting but I think the way our kids came out and played against Hendrickson and Stony Point was a highlight for the regular seasonrdquo Shipley said ldquoThose teams beat us badly last year and our kids showed that we are a different team this year I was also proud of the way we came out against Midway as well It was a far cry from last year when we were never in the gamerdquo
ldquoI thought our offense made great strides this yearrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAt times we were very explo-sive and put up good num-bers The offensive line played well all year Shack was a great leader and it was awesome to see the prog-ress of Jerrod (Jackson) Javon (Chambers) (Jacob) Dumas and Caleb Smith Jaylin Bryant You couldnrsquot have asked for a better 1-2 punch than DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) Those two had great seasons Peyton (Mansell) got better every game he was a real leader and battled every game The leadership and tenac-ity to win he showed was impressive The receiv-ers got better all year and Olajuwon (Taylor) step-ping up and making plays all year long was hugerdquo
ldquoThe 2015 Tigers were a great bunch to coachrdquo Morgan said ldquoThere were times we had it rolling in all three phases of the game and times when we were one or two first downs or one or two stops away from breaking close games
open With all of the offen-sive skill kids who had to be replaced from 2014 I was very proud of the way new guys developed and became such weapons offensively It all started and ended with the out-standing play of our offen-sive line and tight end I thought Zach Shackelford lead that group to being very good and new coach Jacob Hunter did an out-standing job as well Most disappointing was the early season struggles of our punt team and the impact it had on our Hendrickson Stony Point and Copperas Cove losses Kickers Roberto Barrios and Ryan Smith were very effective and improved dramatically from seasonrsquos start to endrdquo
Belton led in every game this season and five of the six losses came within the final minute (a total of 16 points in those five games) Things happen in foot-ball and this team could have finished with a 2-8 record and as good as 10-1 They set a school record for points in a season (452 in 11 games shattering the 1993 record of 425 in 1993 in 12 games)
ldquoWe had a lot of tough breaks this yearrdquo Shipley added ldquoI think the clock malfunctioning at Hendrickson had an effect on the outcome of the game Hendrickson scored two touchdowns in the sec-ond quarter that Irsquom not sure they would have had time to score if the clock was working properly I really feel that the Stony Point game came down to the fourth-down spot at the end of the game That sounds like an excuse but if you were at the game you know exactly what Irsquom
talking about The kids cer-tainly played well enough to win The Shoemaker game could have gone either way as could the Cove game Irsquove had seasons where the ball bounced our way and we got some breaks but unfortunately this wasnrsquot one of themrdquo
Defensively the team may have struggled and gave up yardage and points But the solid play of defensive line lineback-ers and secondary was there John Harvey Chris Jones Carlton Shanks III Brandon Gangloff Garrison Vaughn CJ Jones DJ Fisher Cody Garrett Reagan Chapman and a host of other defensive players played well against a schedule of solid teams
ldquoWinning is difficult in 6A football regardless of what team you are a part ofrdquo Morgan said ldquoI think the biggest thing moving forward is our guys have to understand the impor-tance of every play in the outcome of a close ball-game There can never be a letdown or lapse in focus in a tight ball game On the bright side the 2015 Tigers never quit and put themselves in situations to win every ball game they played this year
As is the case every sea-son teams lose a good number of seniors to grad-uation The 2016 Belton seniors have meant a great deal to the Belton Tigers football tradition
ldquoTheyrsquove put a lot into this thingrdquo Shipley said ldquoThey bought in and worked their tails off Not many teams across the state have over 100 kids that show up at 545 every morning to work out and our seniors led the wayrdquo

Santa Pal Blue Santa returns to Morganrsquos Point Resort
By David TumaThe Belton Journal
Tim Bower found his love after football Some football players go back to coaching or into business of some sort The discipline of the sport pays off in the business world for many young men in Texas Many businesses in Belton to this day are run by ex-football players the same is true for Temple or most towns that have a football team
Bower more than likely is going to spend the rest of his life working on a ranch of some sort That is really what he would like to do This past summer he worked at the Philmont Scout Ranch taking scouts on trail rides Tim is an Eagle Scout and has been to the ranch several times while in the scouts
The Philmont is near Cimarron New Mexico just east of Taos Bower worked with young scouts on two hour trail rides daily Bad weather conditions tend to slow things down or have the ride can-celed
ldquoThere were kids from the big
cities that were scared to death of the horse at first Some of them had never seen a horse in person They picked it up real quick After two hours on that first ride the inside of the knees got real sorerdquo said Bower
There is a difference between hik-ing in the mountains and riding a horse Walking in the mountains you have to spend a lot of time watching your feet You are either going up or down and usually there is a drop off Some kids have been near a horse some havenrsquot There is more to a trail ride with kids than
what you would think Both horse and rider need to be compatible
Bower and the other trail boss-es would start saddling the 18-25 horses at 5 am The ride would start at 8 am They gave a demon-stration of what to do
ldquoWe tried to assign the kids a horse that was a match to the personality of both You walk the horse around
with the kid on board Then you adjust the stirups and the cinch When you ride you see so much more of the beauty of the moun-tains We had kids from Chicago that had never seen a horse before There are four different camps that offer ridesrdquo said Bower
There were two wranglers for every 15 riders Bower also got to go on several 5-day rides one of the camps offer Each night they camped in the mountains From listening to Bower it was hard to tell who had more fun the scouts or him
The ranch he worked on is a huge place totaling over 127000 acres and 214 square miles Craig Bower took Tim his son to the camp twice in 2006 and 2008
ldquoI told my dad I wanted to work on the ranch I donrsquot remember that but he did I wake up to a beautiful sunrise and elk It gets cold here but being from Texas makes it hard to judge what is cold We worked with a girl from Chicago and she said it was okay I still think it was cold My favorite memories are from this ranch I did get to scout from some Elk right before I left Being 30-yards from a bull elk is awesomerdquo said Bower
He broke two smart phones early in his work on the ranch He switched to flip phones ldquoYou donrsquot need all that fancy Facebook stuff up thererdquo said Bower He plans to go back again and again he intends to do some hunting with his family
He has also won a buckle at a rodeo held at a local town near the ranch During one of the competi-tions he thought he cracked a rib Tim won the buckle after a quick call to his father to make sure it was a broken rib It was the final event he participated in

Is your charity effectiveSpecial to the Journal
Donors give to charity throughout the year but the charity watchdog group Charity Navigator reports that around 40 percent of donors make their annual contributions between Thanksgiving and New Yearrsquos Day No matter when one gives the decision to support a charity should never be made lightly Some people choose to donate to charities that focus on causes that resonate with them Emotional feelings can drive donation deci-sions but itrsquos important to do some research into the charitable organization to determine how ef-ficiently the charity operates and how effective the organization ultimately is at fulfilling its mission Look at how much of your money actually goes to-ward the cause you are supporting paying atten-tion to how the organization allocates donations The majority of donation dollars should go to the cause and not toward organizational overhead Here are some questions to ask before selecting a charity
middot Does the charity address the most serious problems in the most cost-effective ways
middot How much money is devoted to overhead ver-sus program outreach
middot Are the charityrsquos interventions really workingmiddot Will this charity help the greatest number of
people with your donationmiddot Is the organization honest and transparentIndividuals can make use of resources made
available by the Better Business Bureau Charity Navigator and GiveWell to see if charities meet their criteria

The Body of Christ Community Clinic has joined in a growing international movement called GivingTuesday This is a desig-nated day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individu-als communities and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity worldwide The day itself falls on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving each year meaning the actual GivingTuesday for 2015 falls on December 1
The Body of Christ Clinic is part-nering with several local businesses and organizations to celebrate gen-erosity and promote giving on three separate TuesdaysmdashNovember 17th and 24th and December 1st (the global GivingTuesday date)
On November 17th our partner
Grand Avenue Theater in Belton will be offering $5 movies all day and a percentage of all their con-cession sales will be donated to the Clinic
On that same day the University of Mary Hardin Baylor will kick off a GivingThanks initiative in con-junction with our GivingTuesday effort Students will be able to write something for which they are grateful on a large poster and take a photograph of themselves with the poster They will also be encour-aged to make a donation to the Clinic and take another selfie this time called an ldquounselfierdquo as they make a charitable contribution
The Body of Christ Community Clinic is a team of local volun-teers committed to carrying out the compassionate healing ministry of Christ by providing personalized quality health services to the medi-cally underserved in the greater Belton and Salado ISD areas Our Vision is to be recognized as a Christ-Centered healthcare pro-vider enabling all in our commu-nity to achieve healthy living in mind body and spirit There is a great need for health services in
our community as poverty levels and uninsured rates are both high especially among minority popula-tions
Over 100 volunteers staff the Clinic rotating their services to cover the hours of operation These include doctors dentists nurses physician assistants dental assistants hygienists social work-ers and clerical techs The only paid positions are those of a full time Executive Director a part- time nurse practitioner (5hrs) a week and patient scheduler (3hrs) The Clinic is a 501 (c) (3) not for profit organization and finan-cial support for the Clinic comes from area churches and individual donors The Clinic receives no fed-eral or state funding The Clinic has been in operation for five years All the volunteers at the Clinic are men and women dedicated to expressing love and compassion to those without access to medical and dental care

UMHB grabbed a 7-0 lead when Zach Anderson threw a 38-yard touch-down pass to DeNerian Thomas on the Crursquos first
offensive play UMHB forced a punt on ETBUrsquos ensuing possession but fumbled the ball away to

It was a crazy opening night to the 2015 Texas UIL Class 6A-Region I Bi-District Playoffs at Homer B Johnson Stadium in Garland Friday night as the Belton Tigers traveled to take on the Rowlett Eagles
From the opening kick-off to the final whistle the game was track meet of epic proportions In the end the Tigers were unable to stop the Eagles
late and were stopped on a last-ditch effort inside the final minute Rowlett advanced to the area round against Dallas Skyline with a 65-64 win over Belton
The Tigers ended their season 5-6
Belton took the open-ing kickoff and performed some trickeration as Davion Peoples pitched the ball to Olajuwon Taylor after receiving the ball Taylor went 40 yards to start the Tigers on their own 40-yard line Peoples
ran the first play from scrimmage for 15 yards and the third play for 17 yards The plays set up a field goal of 37 yards from Roberto Barrios to give the Tigers a 3-0 lead with 1006 to play in the first quarter
Rowlett answered the score with a touch-down of 26 yards from Logan Bonner to LaDarius Pickens Alvin Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 7-3 lead with 722 to play in the opening stanza
Carlton Shanks III took a pooch kick by the Eagles 57 yards to the Rowlett 8 to set up Peoplesrsquo eight-yard run on the next play A bad snap caused holder Anthony Mirabel to pull in the ball and break for the right pylon Mirabel appeared to have made it to the inside of the pylon by the replay but the ref-eree claimed he went out of bounds and called the conversion attempt no good Belton led 9-7 lead with 702 to go in the first quarter
One of the Rowlett returners was rocked by a hit and fumbled but one of the Eagles recovered the ball on the Rowlett 33 Bonner connected with Quinton Stinson for a 63-yard pass comple-tion down to the Belton 2 Bonner snuck the ball into the end zone on the next play Chris Luplowrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 14-9 lead with 641 to go in the quarter
Belton took the next possession down to the Rowlett 45 but turned
the ball over on downs when Peoples was stopped at the Rowlett 44 on fourth down and three The Eagles took the ball and drove it down to the Belton 7 Great defen-sive plays by Garrison Vaughn Bryan Thomas and John Harvey kept the ball out of the end zone forcing the Eagles to settle for a Kenworthy 23-yard field goal Rowlett led 17-9 with 227 left in the first period

Rowlett hit pay turf the first play into the second quarter follow-ing a Bonner to Josh Lewis 37-yard comple-tion Dickensrsquo 7-yard touchdown run gave to the Eagles a 23-16 lead Kenworthyrsquos point-after kick glanced off the right upright
The Tigers answered the bell again with a score Mansell had a 10-yard run complete passes to Lucas and Taylor for a combined 29 yards and found Remington Lutz for a 23-yard touchdown Barriosrsquo extra-point tied the score 23-23 with 911 to play in the half
The Eagles held on the ball for the next 323 mounting an 11-play 65-yard drive culminat-ing in another Bonner-to-Lewis strike this time for 12 yards Luplowrsquos extra-point gave the Eagles a 7-point advan-tage 30-23
Belton took the ball at their own 36-yard line and tried to answer the score On third down and five on the Belton 46 Mansell threw an incompletion to Taylor However five yards in front of Taylor Logan Collins was grabbed by Jakel Davis and was held trying to come back for the ball The officials did not deem it a penalty and Belton was forced to punt
Kobe Morrowrsquos 51-yard run set up Rowlettrsquos next score Bonner had 13 yards of completions and Morrowrsquos plunge in from a yard out put six more points up for the Eagles
Luplowrsquos extra-point made the score 37-23 with 42 seconds to go in the half
Belton unfazed from the drive got a bril-liant pass completion from Mansell to Collins that was tipped for a 46-yard completion to the Rowlett 16 After a Belton timeout the Tigers continued to drive the ball down to the goal line With one second remaining in the half Mansell found Taylor for a 3-yard touchdown pass Barriosrsquo extra-point made the score 37-30 at halftime
Belton got a defen-sive stand to start the third quarter as Shanks Vaughn and Chris Jones made three stops in a row on Bonner and forced Rowlett to punt
The Tigers got the ball at midfield to start their first second-half posses-sion Mansellrsquos 30-yard run set the table for his own 1-yard touchdown run to cap off the 8-play 50-yard drive Barriosrsquo extra-point tied the score at 37-37
On the next play from scrimmage Morrow took a delayed hand off waited for a hole to open burst through it and dashed 74 yards for a Rowlett score Luplowrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 44-37 lead with 813 to
go in the third quarterAnother good return
by Shanks gave the Tigers good starting field position this time on the Belton 40 Mansell dissected the Rowlett secondary with passes to Mirabel and Taylor for 27 combined yards Mansellrsquos strike to Taylor from six yards away and Barriosrsquo extra-point tied the score at 44-44 with 510 to go in the third quarter On the point-after Rowlett was flagged for an unsportsmanlike conduct foul moving the Tigers up to mid-field to kick off Belton
recovered the onside kick at the Rowlett 33 and started back to workFollowing a three-yard pass from Mansell to Bubba Marshall Peoples burst around end and raced 30 yards to give the Tigers the lead 50-44 Barriosrsquo extra-point try sailed wide left keeping the Tigers in the lead by six
Bonnerrsquos pass to Lewis for 10 yards set up a 53-yard option pitch run by Morrow down to the Belton 3 Kofi McDonald and Brandon Gangloff made huge stops to force third down Morrow pounded the ball into the end zone and Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave the Eagles a one-point lead with 129 to
play in the third quarter 51-50
After a short kickoff by Rowlett Demeatric Brandon busted off a 49-yard run down the sidelines to the Rowlett 15 Peoplesrsquo ran the ball in for a touchdown on the next play to give Belton to lead once again The Tigers lined up for a two-point conversion and Rowlett called time-out right before the play Belton trotted the point-after team back on and tried for an extra point which sailed wide right The Tigers led 56-51 with 56 seconds left in
the third quarterAfter a great special
teams play by Harvey the Eagles started their next drive at their own 28-yard line Rowlett drove the ball down to the Belton 41 and were forced into a fourth and two situation Bonner dropped back to pass and Vaughn stepped in front of the receiver at the Belton 2 and intercepted the ball with 950 left on the fourth quarter clock
Peoples always up for big-game plays busted off one of the biggest runs in recent Tiger his-tory He took the hand off Mansell made three jukes broke into the open and raced 98 yards for an electrifying Tiger score The two-point
conversion was good and the Tiger fans cheered on the effort as Belton led by 13 points 64-51 with 933 to play
Rowlett answered the call again putting together a 64-yard drive capped by a 24-yard pass from Bonner to Morrow Luplowrsquos extra-point made the score 64-58 with 714 to go
Belton got the ball back at their own 18-yard line and ended up in a third and six situation at their own 22-yard line Mansell scrambled towards the Rowlett sidelines looking for an open man He ended up out of bounds on a hard hit and was down for a couple of moments Belton had to send out backup punter Lutz to kick the ball away on fourth down The ball went off the side of his foot and Rowlett ended up with great field posi-tion at the Belton 41
Shanks and Jones made two good defensive stops on the first two plays of Rowlettrsquos next drive Bonner found Dickens for a 11-yard comple-tion for a first down and put the Eagles in striking distance again On third down and two on the Belton 8 Bonner scrambled around the right side and got the benefit of a hold from Rowlettrsquos right tackle in front of the referee as he went in for the score Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett the lead 65-64 with 233 to play in the game
Belton started to move the ball down the field on their final drive Peoples had two rushes for eight yards and Brandon bust-ed off a 12-yard run On second down and 10 at the Rowlett 30 the Tigers drew a critical holding call which set them back 10 yards On the next play Mansell threw the ball towards Taylor who was being held for 10 yards by the jersey by the safety The pass was incomplete and no call was made On third down and 20 at the Rowlett 40 Mansell
found Taylor open for a split second over the middle and threw a pass high towards him Taylor was grabbed as he attempted to make the catch and could not make the catch The back judge deemed the ball uncatch-able though Taylorrsquos fingertips appeared to touch the ball On fourth down Mansell scram-bled to find to open man and ran across the field and let a pass go that was short of the target The Tigers had to turn it over on downs with 43 seconds left Rowlett knelt the ball twice and ended the Tigersrsquo season in heartbreaking fashion
It was a bittersweet pill for the Tigers to take as they were turnover-free in the game and had a 13-point lead with 933 to play
ldquoIrsquom proud of the teamrdquo Belton head coach Bob Shipley said ldquoThey just fought and fought the entire game Either team deserved to win Both teams deserved to win Only one could win Yoursquore up 64-51 in the fourth quarter and we just had a tough time stopped them all night They had a really good scheme and really good offense We made some good stops and made the onside kick We were going to run the onside kick whether we got that 15-yard penalty or not There are a lot of situ-ations during the game that could have been the difference in the game The situation I was most disappointed in was that we couldnrsquot get a first down after they scored (with Belton leading 64-58) We shanked the punt and they scored We couldnrsquot get it donerdquo
Despite coming up a point short at the end Shipley was proud of the Tigersrsquo efforts
ldquoI really wanted them to hold up the gold foot-ball and win for our seniors a championship of some sortrdquo Shipley said ldquoBut it didnrsquot hap-pen I know that they laid the foundation to build on for next yearrdquo

It is the biggest Belton margin of victory in sev-eral years President saw great things from his young team during the ball game
ldquoThe energy level was high and everybody came out ready to playrdquo President said ldquoI bragged on a couple of guys ear-lier today and they came out a little slow When we went to our bench we had great energyrdquo
Five Tigers scored in double-figures with
Jones leading the team with 15 points (10 in a row in the third quarter) Lott scored 14 Griffin posted 12 Hammond scored 11 and Freeman scored 10 Seven Tigers scored in all

But when we bring the energy every night thatrsquos big time for usrdquo

Tigers Football sub-varsity teams successful in 2015
LOICONTINUED FROM C1
By Tony AdamsSports Editor
Much in the way of the past two seasons the Belton Tigersrsquo sub-varsity experienced great success in the 2015 season
The five sub-varsity teams went a combined 34-10-1 outscoring teams 1178-541
Thatrsquos an average score of 26-12 A two-touch-down differential com-bined up and down the ranks is an impressive one
The crown jewel in the season was the Belton JV Red team finishing with a perfect 10-0 record Outscoring teams 389-88 the nearest team came to within just 16 points of the Tigers
ldquoThis was a real-ly good group to work withrdquo Belton coach Mike Morgan said ldquoOne of the big selling points to the kids was that they had a tremendous opportunity to go out and compete each week As the season progressed and the team kept winning we talked about the opportunity to be perfect as a team There is never a perfect
play in a game and never a perfect game it is not possible But a team has the opportunity to have a perfect season and that is what the JV Red was able to accomplish They are a very unselfish group of players and they bought in that if they played extremely hard and did their job then they would have a great chance to be successfulrdquo
The Belton JV White team finished 6-2 against tough competition as well outscoring the oppo-sition 181-112 Though games against Stony Point (weather) and Ellison (JV teams merged) were cancelled coach Jason Moffett and his staff worked hard with their players to guide them towards success
ldquoWe try to find ways to really make the White Team importantrdquo Moffett said ldquoWe try not to allow our guys to think of themselves as ldquoBrdquo Team players We want to win ball games and be district champs no matter what the level We spend a lot of time coaching these guys I think a lot more than some other teams in
our area I saw improve-ment defensively over the course of the year in terms of alignment assignment and tacklingrdquo
The Belton Freshman Red team finished 7-3 outscoring opponents 273-146 A few of the freshmen were called up to junior varsity through-out the season
ldquoFreshmen improved from the start of camp all the way until the last game of the yearrdquo Belton coach Al Maxwell said ldquoThe improvement was most evident in the physi-cal condition and most importantly the mental toughness of the team as a wholerdquo
The Freshman White team was two points from a perfect season in their own rights (a late-season loss to Midway 29-27) having gone 9-1 in 2015 outscoring opponents 269-94
The Freshman Gray team played just a 7-game schedule and finished 2-4-1 having been out-scored 101-66 Most of the players were brought up to Freshman Red and Freshman White at the completion of the sched-
uleldquoThe guys achieved
good things this foot-ball season by winning 18 games and compet-ing with three teamsrdquo Maxwell said ldquoThe guysrsquo mental toughness was on display each game and showed when games became tough and crowds were hostile The guys did very this season and will look to win a district championship next sea-sonrdquo
The key to the success of the Tigers sub-varsity programs is the work that the players put in and the coaching staff and how they coach It is a uni-formed system up and down the ranks
ldquoWe spend a lot of time as coaches with our sub-varsity teamsrdquo Belton head football coach Bob Shipley said ldquoI canrsquot imagine any sub-varsi-ty teams in our district who get more individual coaching from varsity coaches than our kids do The JV kids have to be scout team players of course but we spend a lot of time with them out-side of varsity practice They are well-prepared
every week If you want to change a culture and have kids expecting to win you have to invest a lot of time in them before they are varsity players Our kids are learning how to win for sure Irsquove had kids tell me several times that they never won more than a game or two in middle school and they love win-ning in high school That lets us know that itrsquos all worth itrdquo
The talent is so abun-dant in the Belton sub-varsity system that the varsity team is able to bring up players to add to their depth and keep the junior varsity and fresh-man teams very competi-tive Although there are too many potential names to name players to watch in particular over the next season or two or three Shipley believes that the
10th grade season for a football player is one of the most critical seasons
ldquoThere are several JV players we expect to start for us next yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoIt should be that way every year We only had 2 sophomore players on varsity the majority of the season I think 10th grade is a critical time for players They need to be playing as much as pos-sible If theyrsquore going to be on varsity as sophomores they need to be starting because theyrsquore not get-ting any better standing on the sidelines They need to be getting every snap on Thursday nights so they can continue to develop as players and improverdquo
Congratulations to all five teams on a successful 2015 season

The two teams will be meeting for the fourth time in the postseason and the 22nd time over-all The Cru has won each of the previous three postseason meet-ings between these two programs and holds a 15-6 all-time edge in the series
ldquoIt feels awesome to be selected and we really did have to sweat it out this seasonrdquo Cru head coach Pete Fredenburg said ldquoIt makes you real-ize what a fragile exis-tence you have in the playoffs and I feel an obligation to make sure we do everything we can to make the most of this opportunity I think the playersrsquo reaction shows that they are excited to be back in the playoffs and we hope that the excitement carries on into our practice and preparation for a big ball game next week-endrdquo
Anderson crossed the 2000-yard passing mark against East Texas Baptist He is 125-of-204 for 2041 yards 19 touchdowns against just four interceptions He also has 247 yards rushing and seven touchdowns Jackson is inserted into the ball-game in certain pack-ages and his numbers are good going 34-of-67 passing for 451 yards six touchdowns against two interceptions while running for 263 yards
and three touchdownsThe ldquorunning back
by committeerdquo pro-cess has worked for the Crusaders in 2015 While the Cru has run for 2593 yards in 10 games this season there are just two running backs over 500 yards Miller with 563 yards on 111 carries with 12 scores and Thompson with 538 yards on 98 totes and six touchdowns Michael Carpenter (48-275 3 TDs) Jackson Anderson Sterling Scott (16-180 3 TDs) and third-string quarterback Zane Boles (20-134 2 TDs) are all over 100 yards rushing for the season

Breton (108-of-162 1744 yards 20 TDs 3 INT) and Weston Garner (70-of-91 1048 yards 9 TDs 2 INT) navigate the Cowboysrsquo offense with Sloan (164-789 9 TD) getting the bulk of the carries
Ramos gets the major-ity of the looks at wide receiver (75 catches for 1443 yards 16 TDs 192 yards-per-catch) and is dangerous as a punt and kick returner He has 330 yards on 17 punt returns and two touchdowns to go with four kick returns for 130 yards and a touchdown
UMHBrsquos defense is one of the best in the
country with 19 inter-ceptions 49 sacks 122 tackles for 507 yards lost nine forced fum-bles and 11 recovered fumbles Trey Thedford leads the defense with 83 tackles Teidrick Smith has 47 tackles includ-ing a team-leading 21 tackles for 116 yards lost and a team-leading 14 sacks Jon Isom has 165 tackles for loss and is second on the team in sacks with 11 Baylor Mullins Raylon Hickey and Reggie Wilson each have four interceptions

By Tony AdamsSports Editor
Last Friday nightrsquos bi-dis-trict playoff game between the Belton Tigers and the Rowlett Eagles was loaded with ups and downs There were so many great perfor-mances including Davion Peoples scoring rushing touchdowns on three con-secutive scores including his school record-breaking 98-yard run on his way to a 200-plus yard rushing night and Peyton Mansellrsquos ability to navigate the Tigers up and down the field
ldquoObviously we did some good things offensivelyrdquo Belton head coach Bob Shipley said ldquoWe didnrsquot turn the ball over which we knew would be key The offensive line did a good job most of the night and of course we had some receivers come up with some big plays I thought Peyton (Mansell) played really well especially for his first playoff gamerdquo
ldquoOffensively our kids did a great job execut-ing the game plan we preached all week that we couldnrsquot have that lull on offense that we have had from time to timerdquo Belton offensive coordinator Sam Skidmore said ldquoThe offen-sive line controlled the line of scrimmage DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) did a great job seeing the holes running well and blocking Peyton did it through the air and on the ground and really stepped up and led the entire receiving corps did a great job I think almost everyone had a catch and did a great job blocking as wellrdquo
As heartbreaking as the
loss was it was the high mark for points scored in a game this season and set a school record for points in a season with 452 There was absolutely no quit in the 48 minutes
ldquoDefensively it was just a long nightrdquo Shipley said ldquoWe made a couple of stops but didnrsquot in the fourth quarter when we had too They were very athletic and had a great quarterback I thought our kids fought so hard and Irsquom proud of them for that My only disappointment offensively were penalties that hurt our field position and the inability to get first downs when we had the lead in the fourth quarterrdquo
ldquoVery impressed with the resiliency our kids showedrdquo Belton special teams coach Mike Morgan said ldquoIt was a very emotional game and our kids kept responding over and over againrdquo
Ramonce Taylor was on the sidelines for the last couple of games and has been very encouraging towards the team He was so happy for Peoples when he broke his school record for the longest run
ldquoRamonce has been to several games this yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoItrsquos always great to see him and have him giving our kids point-ers I donrsquot think anyone would argue that he has to be one of the greatest athletes to ever represent Belton High School Hersquos back in school and wants to be a coach After seeing the way our kids respond to him I think hersquod be a great onerdquo
ldquoWe were very glad to have Ramonce on the side-linerdquo Skidmore said ldquoThe kids can relate and he was encouraging the kids being
involved and I know our kids enjoyed him being aroundrdquo
When discussing with the coaches the bi-district playoff game outcomes the 10-7 Shoemaker win over Sachse was a surprise to many in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex But to the Belton staff it wasnrsquot
ldquoI knew Shoemaker had a good defense but I was a little surprised by the scorerdquo Shipley said ldquoSachse has playmakers all over the field I think it shows people that our district can compete with any district in the state Every school has a great coaching staff Irsquove been very impressed with the coaches in our district and of course the athletes we see week in and week out are amazingrdquo
ldquoNo I expected Shoemaker to give them fits the match up of Kendall Jones on Sachsersquos center was going play big in favor of Shoemakerrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAlso Shoemakerrsquos overall defensive speed and tenacity gave Sachse fits I donrsquot know for sure but Irsquom assuming Shoemakerrsquos defensive line and front seven was disruptive all night against Sachsersquos offensive linerdquo
ldquoShoemaker was not a surprise at allrdquo Morgan said ldquoHolding Sachse to zero offensive touchdowns was quite an accomplish-ment But the unit that Shoemaker is able to put on the field defensively will probably not be appreci-ated until all of those guys have graduated Midway performed about like I thought they would Aside from the early season loss-es they have been a very good team the last eight weeksrdquo
The Tigers had a great season despite a 5-6 record There were highlights and lowlights as every season has
ldquoThe two games at Killeen were exciting but I think the way our kids came out and played against Hendrickson and Stony Point was a highlight for the regular seasonrdquo Shipley said ldquoThose teams beat us badly last year and our kids showed that we are a different team this year I was also proud of the way we came out against Midway as well It was a far cry from last year when we were never in the gamerdquo
ldquoI thought our offense made great strides this yearrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAt times we were very explo-sive and put up good num-bers The offensive line played well all year Shack was a great leader and it was awesome to see the prog-ress of Jerrod (Jackson) Javon (Chambers) (Jacob) Dumas and Caleb Smith Jaylin Bryant You couldnrsquot have asked for a better 1-2 punch than DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) Those two had great seasons Peyton (Mansell) got better every game he was a real leader and battled every game The leadership and tenac-ity to win he showed was impressive The receiv-ers got better all year and Olajuwon (Taylor) step-ping up and making plays all year long was hugerdquo
ldquoThe 2015 Tigers were a great bunch to coachrdquo Morgan said ldquoThere were times we had it rolling in all three phases of the game and times when we were one or two first downs or one or two stops away from breaking close games
open With all of the offen-sive skill kids who had to be replaced from 2014 I was very proud of the way new guys developed and became such weapons offensively It all started and ended with the out-standing play of our offen-sive line and tight end I thought Zach Shackelford lead that group to being very good and new coach Jacob Hunter did an out-standing job as well Most disappointing was the early season struggles of our punt team and the impact it had on our Hendrickson Stony Point and Copperas Cove losses Kickers Roberto Barrios and Ryan Smith were very effective and improved dramatically from seasonrsquos start to endrdquo
Belton led in every game this season and five of the six losses came within the final minute (a total of 16 points in those five games) Things happen in foot-ball and this team could have finished with a 2-8 record and as good as 10-1 They set a school record for points in a season (452 in 11 games shattering the 1993 record of 425 in 1993 in 12 games)
ldquoWe had a lot of tough breaks this yearrdquo Shipley added ldquoI think the clock malfunctioning at Hendrickson had an effect on the outcome of the game Hendrickson scored two touchdowns in the sec-ond quarter that Irsquom not sure they would have had time to score if the clock was working properly I really feel that the Stony Point game came down to the fourth-down spot at the end of the game That sounds like an excuse but if you were at the game you know exactly what Irsquom
talking about The kids cer-tainly played well enough to win The Shoemaker game could have gone either way as could the Cove game Irsquove had seasons where the ball bounced our way and we got some breaks but unfortunately this wasnrsquot one of themrdquo
Defensively the team may have struggled and gave up yardage and points But the solid play of defensive line lineback-ers and secondary was there John Harvey Chris Jones Carlton Shanks III Brandon Gangloff Garrison Vaughn CJ Jones DJ Fisher Cody Garrett Reagan Chapman and a host of other defensive players played well against a schedule of solid teams
ldquoWinning is difficult in 6A football regardless of what team you are a part ofrdquo Morgan said ldquoI think the biggest thing moving forward is our guys have to understand the impor-tance of every play in the outcome of a close ball-game There can never be a letdown or lapse in focus in a tight ball game On the bright side the 2015 Tigers never quit and put themselves in situations to win every ball game they played this year
As is the case every sea-son teams lose a good number of seniors to grad-uation The 2016 Belton seniors have meant a great deal to the Belton Tigers football tradition
ldquoTheyrsquove put a lot into this thingrdquo Shipley said ldquoThey bought in and worked their tails off Not many teams across the state have over 100 kids that show up at 545 every morning to work out and our seniors led the wayrdquo

Santa Pal Blue Santa returns to Morganrsquos Point Resort
By David TumaThe Belton Journal
Tim Bower found his love after football Some football players go back to coaching or into business of some sort The discipline of the sport pays off in the business world for many young men in Texas Many businesses in Belton to this day are run by ex-football players the same is true for Temple or most towns that have a football team
Bower more than likely is going to spend the rest of his life working on a ranch of some sort That is really what he would like to do This past summer he worked at the Philmont Scout Ranch taking scouts on trail rides Tim is an Eagle Scout and has been to the ranch several times while in the scouts
The Philmont is near Cimarron New Mexico just east of Taos Bower worked with young scouts on two hour trail rides daily Bad weather conditions tend to slow things down or have the ride can-celed
ldquoThere were kids from the big
cities that were scared to death of the horse at first Some of them had never seen a horse in person They picked it up real quick After two hours on that first ride the inside of the knees got real sorerdquo said Bower
There is a difference between hik-ing in the mountains and riding a horse Walking in the mountains you have to spend a lot of time watching your feet You are either going up or down and usually there is a drop off Some kids have been near a horse some havenrsquot There is more to a trail ride with kids than
what you would think Both horse and rider need to be compatible
Bower and the other trail boss-es would start saddling the 18-25 horses at 5 am The ride would start at 8 am They gave a demon-stration of what to do
ldquoWe tried to assign the kids a horse that was a match to the personality of both You walk the horse around
with the kid on board Then you adjust the stirups and the cinch When you ride you see so much more of the beauty of the moun-tains We had kids from Chicago that had never seen a horse before There are four different camps that offer ridesrdquo said Bower
There were two wranglers for every 15 riders Bower also got to go on several 5-day rides one of the camps offer Each night they camped in the mountains From listening to Bower it was hard to tell who had more fun the scouts or him
The ranch he worked on is a huge place totaling over 127000 acres and 214 square miles Craig Bower took Tim his son to the camp twice in 2006 and 2008
ldquoI told my dad I wanted to work on the ranch I donrsquot remember that but he did I wake up to a beautiful sunrise and elk It gets cold here but being from Texas makes it hard to judge what is cold We worked with a girl from Chicago and she said it was okay I still think it was cold My favorite memories are from this ranch I did get to scout from some Elk right before I left Being 30-yards from a bull elk is awesomerdquo said Bower
He broke two smart phones early in his work on the ranch He switched to flip phones ldquoYou donrsquot need all that fancy Facebook stuff up thererdquo said Bower He plans to go back again and again he intends to do some hunting with his family
He has also won a buckle at a rodeo held at a local town near the ranch During one of the competi-tions he thought he cracked a rib Tim won the buckle after a quick call to his father to make sure it was a broken rib It was the final event he participated in

Is your charity effectiveSpecial to the Journal
Donors give to charity throughout the year but the charity watchdog group Charity Navigator reports that around 40 percent of donors make their annual contributions between Thanksgiving and New Yearrsquos Day No matter when one gives the decision to support a charity should never be made lightly Some people choose to donate to charities that focus on causes that resonate with them Emotional feelings can drive donation deci-sions but itrsquos important to do some research into the charitable organization to determine how ef-ficiently the charity operates and how effective the organization ultimately is at fulfilling its mission Look at how much of your money actually goes to-ward the cause you are supporting paying atten-tion to how the organization allocates donations The majority of donation dollars should go to the cause and not toward organizational overhead Here are some questions to ask before selecting a charity
middot Does the charity address the most serious problems in the most cost-effective ways
middot How much money is devoted to overhead ver-sus program outreach
middot Are the charityrsquos interventions really workingmiddot Will this charity help the greatest number of
people with your donationmiddot Is the organization honest and transparentIndividuals can make use of resources made
available by the Better Business Bureau Charity Navigator and GiveWell to see if charities meet their criteria

The Body of Christ Community Clinic has joined in a growing international movement called GivingTuesday This is a desig-nated day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individu-als communities and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity worldwide The day itself falls on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving each year meaning the actual GivingTuesday for 2015 falls on December 1
The Body of Christ Clinic is part-nering with several local businesses and organizations to celebrate gen-erosity and promote giving on three separate TuesdaysmdashNovember 17th and 24th and December 1st (the global GivingTuesday date)
On November 17th our partner
Grand Avenue Theater in Belton will be offering $5 movies all day and a percentage of all their con-cession sales will be donated to the Clinic
On that same day the University of Mary Hardin Baylor will kick off a GivingThanks initiative in con-junction with our GivingTuesday effort Students will be able to write something for which they are grateful on a large poster and take a photograph of themselves with the poster They will also be encour-aged to make a donation to the Clinic and take another selfie this time called an ldquounselfierdquo as they make a charitable contribution
The Body of Christ Community Clinic is a team of local volun-teers committed to carrying out the compassionate healing ministry of Christ by providing personalized quality health services to the medi-cally underserved in the greater Belton and Salado ISD areas Our Vision is to be recognized as a Christ-Centered healthcare pro-vider enabling all in our commu-nity to achieve healthy living in mind body and spirit There is a great need for health services in
our community as poverty levels and uninsured rates are both high especially among minority popula-tions
Over 100 volunteers staff the Clinic rotating their services to cover the hours of operation These include doctors dentists nurses physician assistants dental assistants hygienists social work-ers and clerical techs The only paid positions are those of a full time Executive Director a part- time nurse practitioner (5hrs) a week and patient scheduler (3hrs) The Clinic is a 501 (c) (3) not for profit organization and finan-cial support for the Clinic comes from area churches and individual donors The Clinic receives no fed-eral or state funding The Clinic has been in operation for five years All the volunteers at the Clinic are men and women dedicated to expressing love and compassion to those without access to medical and dental care

It was a crazy opening night to the 2015 Texas UIL Class 6A-Region I Bi-District Playoffs at Homer B Johnson Stadium in Garland Friday night as the Belton Tigers traveled to take on the Rowlett Eagles
From the opening kick-off to the final whistle the game was track meet of epic proportions In the end the Tigers were unable to stop the Eagles
late and were stopped on a last-ditch effort inside the final minute Rowlett advanced to the area round against Dallas Skyline with a 65-64 win over Belton
The Tigers ended their season 5-6
Belton took the open-ing kickoff and performed some trickeration as Davion Peoples pitched the ball to Olajuwon Taylor after receiving the ball Taylor went 40 yards to start the Tigers on their own 40-yard line Peoples
ran the first play from scrimmage for 15 yards and the third play for 17 yards The plays set up a field goal of 37 yards from Roberto Barrios to give the Tigers a 3-0 lead with 1006 to play in the first quarter
Rowlett answered the score with a touch-down of 26 yards from Logan Bonner to LaDarius Pickens Alvin Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 7-3 lead with 722 to play in the opening stanza
Carlton Shanks III took a pooch kick by the Eagles 57 yards to the Rowlett 8 to set up Peoplesrsquo eight-yard run on the next play A bad snap caused holder Anthony Mirabel to pull in the ball and break for the right pylon Mirabel appeared to have made it to the inside of the pylon by the replay but the ref-eree claimed he went out of bounds and called the conversion attempt no good Belton led 9-7 lead with 702 to go in the first quarter
One of the Rowlett returners was rocked by a hit and fumbled but one of the Eagles recovered the ball on the Rowlett 33 Bonner connected with Quinton Stinson for a 63-yard pass comple-tion down to the Belton 2 Bonner snuck the ball into the end zone on the next play Chris Luplowrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 14-9 lead with 641 to go in the quarter
Belton took the next possession down to the Rowlett 45 but turned
the ball over on downs when Peoples was stopped at the Rowlett 44 on fourth down and three The Eagles took the ball and drove it down to the Belton 7 Great defen-sive plays by Garrison Vaughn Bryan Thomas and John Harvey kept the ball out of the end zone forcing the Eagles to settle for a Kenworthy 23-yard field goal Rowlett led 17-9 with 227 left in the first period

Rowlett answered the call again putting together a 64-yard drive capped by a 24-yard pass from Bonner to Morrow Luplowrsquos extra-point made the score 64-58 with 714 to go
Belton got the ball back at their own 18-yard line and ended up in a third and six situation at their own 22-yard line Mansell scrambled towards the Rowlett sidelines looking for an open man He ended up out of bounds on a hard hit and was down for a couple of moments Belton had to send out backup punter Lutz to kick the ball away on fourth down The ball went off the side of his foot and Rowlett ended up with great field posi-tion at the Belton 41
Shanks and Jones made two good defensive stops on the first two plays of Rowlettrsquos next drive Bonner found Dickens for a 11-yard comple-tion for a first down and put the Eagles in striking distance again On third down and two on the Belton 8 Bonner scrambled around the right side and got the benefit of a hold from Rowlettrsquos right tackle in front of the referee as he went in for the score Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett the lead 65-64 with 233 to play in the game
Belton started to move the ball down the field on their final drive Peoples had two rushes for eight yards and Brandon bust-ed off a 12-yard run On second down and 10 at the Rowlett 30 the Tigers drew a critical holding call which set them back 10 yards On the next play Mansell threw the ball towards Taylor who was being held for 10 yards by the jersey by the safety The pass was incomplete and no call was made On third down and 20 at the Rowlett 40 Mansell
found Taylor open for a split second over the middle and threw a pass high towards him Taylor was grabbed as he attempted to make the catch and could not make the catch The back judge deemed the ball uncatch-able though Taylorrsquos fingertips appeared to touch the ball On fourth down Mansell scram-bled to find to open man and ran across the field and let a pass go that was short of the target The Tigers had to turn it over on downs with 43 seconds left Rowlett knelt the ball twice and ended the Tigersrsquo season in heartbreaking fashion
It was a bittersweet pill for the Tigers to take as they were turnover-free in the game and had a 13-point lead with 933 to play
ldquoIrsquom proud of the teamrdquo Belton head coach Bob Shipley said ldquoThey just fought and fought the entire game Either team deserved to win Both teams deserved to win Only one could win Yoursquore up 64-51 in the fourth quarter and we just had a tough time stopped them all night They had a really good scheme and really good offense We made some good stops and made the onside kick We were going to run the onside kick whether we got that 15-yard penalty or not There are a lot of situ-ations during the game that could have been the difference in the game The situation I was most disappointed in was that we couldnrsquot get a first down after they scored (with Belton leading 64-58) We shanked the punt and they scored We couldnrsquot get it donerdquo
Despite coming up a point short at the end Shipley was proud of the Tigersrsquo efforts
ldquoI really wanted them to hold up the gold foot-ball and win for our seniors a championship of some sortrdquo Shipley said ldquoBut it didnrsquot hap-pen I know that they laid the foundation to build on for next yearrdquo

Belton used a 29-7 third quarter and com-pounded it to a 17-point halftime lead en route to an 81-39 win over the Austin Travis Rebels
The Tigers are now 1-0 on the young season
Belton held Travis to one field goal in the first
quarter although neither team hit the scoreboard until Kiron Griffin Jr hit a put back in the paint at the 511 match and Izaiah Jones had a put back 20 seconds later to put Belton up 4-0
After a Travis field goal Jones Ruben Freeman and Dontori Lott helped the Tigers mount a 9-3 closing run to give Belton a 13-5 lead at the end of the first quarter

It is the biggest Belton margin of victory in sev-eral years President saw great things from his young team during the ball game
ldquoThe energy level was high and everybody came out ready to playrdquo President said ldquoI bragged on a couple of guys ear-lier today and they came out a little slow When we went to our bench we had great energyrdquo
Five Tigers scored in double-figures with
Jones leading the team with 15 points (10 in a row in the third quarter) Lott scored 14 Griffin posted 12 Hammond scored 11 and Freeman scored 10 Seven Tigers scored in all
Beltonrsquos two leading scorers from a year ago Jackson McGowan and Jordan Russell didnrsquot score But they posted several rebounds assists and steals in a solid defensive effort
ldquoWe have to have strong production from our bench all season longrdquo President said ldquoOn different nights some guys are going to be on We expect that
But when we bring the energy every night thatrsquos big time for usrdquo
Belton will travel to Temple to take on the Wildcats Saturday after-noon at 5 pm The game was moved from 7 pm on Friday to Saturday afternoon due to Templersquos playoff game in Bryan
ldquoItrsquos a rivalry gamerdquo President said ldquoItrsquos a game that will have high emotion and a lot of energy in the building We just have to do what we do We canrsquot get out of what we do We need to execute and play within ourselvesrdquo

Tigers Football sub-varsity teams successful in 2015
LOICONTINUED FROM C1
By Tony AdamsSports Editor
Much in the way of the past two seasons the Belton Tigersrsquo sub-varsity experienced great success in the 2015 season
The five sub-varsity teams went a combined 34-10-1 outscoring teams 1178-541
Thatrsquos an average score of 26-12 A two-touch-down differential com-bined up and down the ranks is an impressive one
The crown jewel in the season was the Belton JV Red team finishing with a perfect 10-0 record Outscoring teams 389-88 the nearest team came to within just 16 points of the Tigers
ldquoThis was a real-ly good group to work withrdquo Belton coach Mike Morgan said ldquoOne of the big selling points to the kids was that they had a tremendous opportunity to go out and compete each week As the season progressed and the team kept winning we talked about the opportunity to be perfect as a team There is never a perfect
play in a game and never a perfect game it is not possible But a team has the opportunity to have a perfect season and that is what the JV Red was able to accomplish They are a very unselfish group of players and they bought in that if they played extremely hard and did their job then they would have a great chance to be successfulrdquo
The Belton JV White team finished 6-2 against tough competition as well outscoring the oppo-sition 181-112 Though games against Stony Point (weather) and Ellison (JV teams merged) were cancelled coach Jason Moffett and his staff worked hard with their players to guide them towards success
ldquoWe try to find ways to really make the White Team importantrdquo Moffett said ldquoWe try not to allow our guys to think of themselves as ldquoBrdquo Team players We want to win ball games and be district champs no matter what the level We spend a lot of time coaching these guys I think a lot more than some other teams in
our area I saw improve-ment defensively over the course of the year in terms of alignment assignment and tacklingrdquo
The Belton Freshman Red team finished 7-3 outscoring opponents 273-146 A few of the freshmen were called up to junior varsity through-out the season
ldquoFreshmen improved from the start of camp all the way until the last game of the yearrdquo Belton coach Al Maxwell said ldquoThe improvement was most evident in the physi-cal condition and most importantly the mental toughness of the team as a wholerdquo
The Freshman White team was two points from a perfect season in their own rights (a late-season loss to Midway 29-27) having gone 9-1 in 2015 outscoring opponents 269-94
The Freshman Gray team played just a 7-game schedule and finished 2-4-1 having been out-scored 101-66 Most of the players were brought up to Freshman Red and Freshman White at the completion of the sched-
uleldquoThe guys achieved
good things this foot-ball season by winning 18 games and compet-ing with three teamsrdquo Maxwell said ldquoThe guysrsquo mental toughness was on display each game and showed when games became tough and crowds were hostile The guys did very this season and will look to win a district championship next sea-sonrdquo
The key to the success of the Tigers sub-varsity programs is the work that the players put in and the coaching staff and how they coach It is a uni-formed system up and down the ranks
ldquoWe spend a lot of time as coaches with our sub-varsity teamsrdquo Belton head football coach Bob Shipley said ldquoI canrsquot imagine any sub-varsi-ty teams in our district who get more individual coaching from varsity coaches than our kids do The JV kids have to be scout team players of course but we spend a lot of time with them out-side of varsity practice They are well-prepared
every week If you want to change a culture and have kids expecting to win you have to invest a lot of time in them before they are varsity players Our kids are learning how to win for sure Irsquove had kids tell me several times that they never won more than a game or two in middle school and they love win-ning in high school That lets us know that itrsquos all worth itrdquo
The talent is so abun-dant in the Belton sub-varsity system that the varsity team is able to bring up players to add to their depth and keep the junior varsity and fresh-man teams very competi-tive Although there are too many potential names to name players to watch in particular over the next season or two or three Shipley believes that the
10th grade season for a football player is one of the most critical seasons
ldquoThere are several JV players we expect to start for us next yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoIt should be that way every year We only had 2 sophomore players on varsity the majority of the season I think 10th grade is a critical time for players They need to be playing as much as pos-sible If theyrsquore going to be on varsity as sophomores they need to be starting because theyrsquore not get-ting any better standing on the sidelines They need to be getting every snap on Thursday nights so they can continue to develop as players and improverdquo
Congratulations to all five teams on a successful 2015 season

2015 Tiger Football had explosiveness excitement
By Tony AdamsSports Editor
The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor football team will make its 12th straight NCAA Division III National Championships appear-ance and its 14th in the last 15 years after the Cru earned an at-large bid to the postseason with the announcement of the 32-team field Sunday evening
UMHB will open the postseason on the road with a First Round rematch with American Southwest Conference rival Hardin-Simmons University That game will kick off at 1200 PM at Shelton Stadium in Abilene The game will be broadcast on K1017 FM with the pre-game show starting at 1130 AM on Saturday
Both teams will advance to the postsea-son as at-large selections with 9-1 over records and 4-1 marks in ASC play Hardin-Simmons won the regular season meeting between the two teams 29-26 three weeks ago in Abilene snapping UMHBrsquos 61-game regular sea-son winning streak and 39-game ASC win streak in the process Ryan Breton had 284 yards passing 223 of those to the speedy Jessie Ramos Kerry Sloan had 108 yards on 25 carries for the Cowboys
Zach Anderson and Blake Jackson went a combined 14-of-25 passing for 172 yards Malcolm Miller had 113 yards rushing on 23 carries and Duane Thompson added 49 yards on 13 carries
The two teams will be meeting for the fourth time in the postseason and the 22nd time over-all The Cru has won each of the previous three postseason meet-ings between these two programs and holds a 15-6 all-time edge in the series
ldquoIt feels awesome to be selected and we really did have to sweat it out this seasonrdquo Cru head coach Pete Fredenburg said ldquoIt makes you real-ize what a fragile exis-tence you have in the playoffs and I feel an obligation to make sure we do everything we can to make the most of this opportunity I think the playersrsquo reaction shows that they are excited to be back in the playoffs and we hope that the excitement carries on into our practice and preparation for a big ball game next week-endrdquo
Anderson crossed the 2000-yard passing mark against East Texas Baptist He is 125-of-204 for 2041 yards 19 touchdowns against just four interceptions He also has 247 yards rushing and seven touchdowns Jackson is inserted into the ball-game in certain pack-ages and his numbers are good going 34-of-67 passing for 451 yards six touchdowns against two interceptions while running for 263 yards
and three touchdownsThe ldquorunning back
by committeerdquo pro-cess has worked for the Crusaders in 2015 While the Cru has run for 2593 yards in 10 games this season there are just two running backs over 500 yards Miller with 563 yards on 111 carries with 12 scores and Thompson with 538 yards on 98 totes and six touchdowns Michael Carpenter (48-275 3 TDs) Jackson Anderson Sterling Scott (16-180 3 TDs) and third-string quarterback Zane Boles (20-134 2 TDs) are all over 100 yards rushing for the season
Wykeyhe Walker (42 receptions 778 yards 11 TDs) is UMHBrsquos leading receiver Marcus Wimby (33-540 2 TDs) DeNerian Thomas (30-344 5 TDs) Justin Brumfield (18-189 TD) and Robbie Seybold (10-210) are all viable options are wide receiv-er and tight end for Anderson and Jackson
Breton (108-of-162 1744 yards 20 TDs 3 INT) and Weston Garner (70-of-91 1048 yards 9 TDs 2 INT) navigate the Cowboysrsquo offense with Sloan (164-789 9 TD) getting the bulk of the carries

By Tony AdamsSports Editor
Last Friday nightrsquos bi-dis-trict playoff game between the Belton Tigers and the Rowlett Eagles was loaded with ups and downs There were so many great perfor-mances including Davion Peoples scoring rushing touchdowns on three con-secutive scores including his school record-breaking 98-yard run on his way to a 200-plus yard rushing night and Peyton Mansellrsquos ability to navigate the Tigers up and down the field
ldquoObviously we did some good things offensivelyrdquo Belton head coach Bob Shipley said ldquoWe didnrsquot turn the ball over which we knew would be key The offensive line did a good job most of the night and of course we had some receivers come up with some big plays I thought Peyton (Mansell) played really well especially for his first playoff gamerdquo
ldquoOffensively our kids did a great job execut-ing the game plan we preached all week that we couldnrsquot have that lull on offense that we have had from time to timerdquo Belton offensive coordinator Sam Skidmore said ldquoThe offen-sive line controlled the line of scrimmage DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) did a great job seeing the holes running well and blocking Peyton did it through the air and on the ground and really stepped up and led the entire receiving corps did a great job I think almost everyone had a catch and did a great job blocking as wellrdquo
As heartbreaking as the
loss was it was the high mark for points scored in a game this season and set a school record for points in a season with 452 There was absolutely no quit in the 48 minutes
ldquoDefensively it was just a long nightrdquo Shipley said ldquoWe made a couple of stops but didnrsquot in the fourth quarter when we had too They were very athletic and had a great quarterback I thought our kids fought so hard and Irsquom proud of them for that My only disappointment offensively were penalties that hurt our field position and the inability to get first downs when we had the lead in the fourth quarterrdquo
ldquoVery impressed with the resiliency our kids showedrdquo Belton special teams coach Mike Morgan said ldquoIt was a very emotional game and our kids kept responding over and over againrdquo
Ramonce Taylor was on the sidelines for the last couple of games and has been very encouraging towards the team He was so happy for Peoples when he broke his school record for the longest run
ldquoRamonce has been to several games this yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoItrsquos always great to see him and have him giving our kids point-ers I donrsquot think anyone would argue that he has to be one of the greatest athletes to ever represent Belton High School Hersquos back in school and wants to be a coach After seeing the way our kids respond to him I think hersquod be a great onerdquo
ldquoWe were very glad to have Ramonce on the side-linerdquo Skidmore said ldquoThe kids can relate and he was encouraging the kids being
involved and I know our kids enjoyed him being aroundrdquo
When discussing with the coaches the bi-district playoff game outcomes the 10-7 Shoemaker win over Sachse was a surprise to many in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex But to the Belton staff it wasnrsquot
ldquoI knew Shoemaker had a good defense but I was a little surprised by the scorerdquo Shipley said ldquoSachse has playmakers all over the field I think it shows people that our district can compete with any district in the state Every school has a great coaching staff Irsquove been very impressed with the coaches in our district and of course the athletes we see week in and week out are amazingrdquo
ldquoNo I expected Shoemaker to give them fits the match up of Kendall Jones on Sachsersquos center was going play big in favor of Shoemakerrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAlso Shoemakerrsquos overall defensive speed and tenacity gave Sachse fits I donrsquot know for sure but Irsquom assuming Shoemakerrsquos defensive line and front seven was disruptive all night against Sachsersquos offensive linerdquo
ldquoShoemaker was not a surprise at allrdquo Morgan said ldquoHolding Sachse to zero offensive touchdowns was quite an accomplish-ment But the unit that Shoemaker is able to put on the field defensively will probably not be appreci-ated until all of those guys have graduated Midway performed about like I thought they would Aside from the early season loss-es they have been a very good team the last eight weeksrdquo
The Tigers had a great season despite a 5-6 record There were highlights and lowlights as every season has
ldquoThe two games at Killeen were exciting but I think the way our kids came out and played against Hendrickson and Stony Point was a highlight for the regular seasonrdquo Shipley said ldquoThose teams beat us badly last year and our kids showed that we are a different team this year I was also proud of the way we came out against Midway as well It was a far cry from last year when we were never in the gamerdquo
ldquoI thought our offense made great strides this yearrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAt times we were very explo-sive and put up good num-bers The offensive line played well all year Shack was a great leader and it was awesome to see the prog-ress of Jerrod (Jackson) Javon (Chambers) (Jacob) Dumas and Caleb Smith Jaylin Bryant You couldnrsquot have asked for a better 1-2 punch than DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) Those two had great seasons Peyton (Mansell) got better every game he was a real leader and battled every game The leadership and tenac-ity to win he showed was impressive The receiv-ers got better all year and Olajuwon (Taylor) step-ping up and making plays all year long was hugerdquo
ldquoThe 2015 Tigers were a great bunch to coachrdquo Morgan said ldquoThere were times we had it rolling in all three phases of the game and times when we were one or two first downs or one or two stops away from breaking close games
open With all of the offen-sive skill kids who had to be replaced from 2014 I was very proud of the way new guys developed and became such weapons offensively It all started and ended with the out-standing play of our offen-sive line and tight end I thought Zach Shackelford lead that group to being very good and new coach Jacob Hunter did an out-standing job as well Most disappointing was the early season struggles of our punt team and the impact it had on our Hendrickson Stony Point and Copperas Cove losses Kickers Roberto Barrios and Ryan Smith were very effective and improved dramatically from seasonrsquos start to endrdquo
Belton led in every game this season and five of the six losses came within the final minute (a total of 16 points in those five games) Things happen in foot-ball and this team could have finished with a 2-8 record and as good as 10-1 They set a school record for points in a season (452 in 11 games shattering the 1993 record of 425 in 1993 in 12 games)
ldquoWe had a lot of tough breaks this yearrdquo Shipley added ldquoI think the clock malfunctioning at Hendrickson had an effect on the outcome of the game Hendrickson scored two touchdowns in the sec-ond quarter that Irsquom not sure they would have had time to score if the clock was working properly I really feel that the Stony Point game came down to the fourth-down spot at the end of the game That sounds like an excuse but if you were at the game you know exactly what Irsquom
talking about The kids cer-tainly played well enough to win The Shoemaker game could have gone either way as could the Cove game Irsquove had seasons where the ball bounced our way and we got some breaks but unfortunately this wasnrsquot one of themrdquo
Defensively the team may have struggled and gave up yardage and points But the solid play of defensive line lineback-ers and secondary was there John Harvey Chris Jones Carlton Shanks III Brandon Gangloff Garrison Vaughn CJ Jones DJ Fisher Cody Garrett Reagan Chapman and a host of other defensive players played well against a schedule of solid teams
ldquoWinning is difficult in 6A football regardless of what team you are a part ofrdquo Morgan said ldquoI think the biggest thing moving forward is our guys have to understand the impor-tance of every play in the outcome of a close ball-game There can never be a letdown or lapse in focus in a tight ball game On the bright side the 2015 Tigers never quit and put themselves in situations to win every ball game they played this year
As is the case every sea-son teams lose a good number of seniors to grad-uation The 2016 Belton seniors have meant a great deal to the Belton Tigers football tradition
ldquoTheyrsquove put a lot into this thingrdquo Shipley said ldquoThey bought in and worked their tails off Not many teams across the state have over 100 kids that show up at 545 every morning to work out and our seniors led the wayrdquo

It was a crazy opening night to the 2015 Texas UIL Class 6A-Region I Bi-District Playoffs at Homer B Johnson Stadium in Garland Friday night as the Belton Tigers traveled to take on the Rowlett Eagles
From the opening kick-off to the final whistle the game was track meet of epic proportions In the end the Tigers were unable to stop the Eagles
late and were stopped on a last-ditch effort inside the final minute Rowlett advanced to the area round against Dallas Skyline with a 65-64 win over Belton
The Tigers ended their season 5-6
Belton took the open-ing kickoff and performed some trickeration as Davion Peoples pitched the ball to Olajuwon Taylor after receiving the ball Taylor went 40 yards to start the Tigers on their own 40-yard line Peoples
ran the first play from scrimmage for 15 yards and the third play for 17 yards The plays set up a field goal of 37 yards from Roberto Barrios to give the Tigers a 3-0 lead with 1006 to play in the first quarter
Rowlett answered the score with a touch-down of 26 yards from Logan Bonner to LaDarius Pickens Alvin Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 7-3 lead with 722 to play in the opening stanza
Carlton Shanks III took a pooch kick by the Eagles 57 yards to the Rowlett 8 to set up Peoplesrsquo eight-yard run on the next play A bad snap caused holder Anthony Mirabel to pull in the ball and break for the right pylon Mirabel appeared to have made it to the inside of the pylon by the replay but the ref-eree claimed he went out of bounds and called the conversion attempt no good Belton led 9-7 lead with 702 to go in the first quarter
One of the Rowlett returners was rocked by a hit and fumbled but one of the Eagles recovered the ball on the Rowlett 33 Bonner connected with Quinton Stinson for a 63-yard pass comple-tion down to the Belton 2 Bonner snuck the ball into the end zone on the next play Chris Luplowrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 14-9 lead with 641 to go in the quarter
Belton took the next possession down to the Rowlett 45 but turned
the ball over on downs when Peoples was stopped at the Rowlett 44 on fourth down and three The Eagles took the ball and drove it down to the Belton 7 Great defen-sive plays by Garrison Vaughn Bryan Thomas and John Harvey kept the ball out of the end zone forcing the Eagles to settle for a Kenworthy 23-yard field goal Rowlett led 17-9 with 227 left in the first period

Payton Mansell found Weston Lucas for a nice 27-yard comple-tion into Rowlett terri-tory to highlight the next scoring drive The duo hooked up for a 25-yard touchdown strike and Barrios hit the point-after to draw the Tigers to within a point 17-16 with 37 seconds remain-ing in the quarter
Rowlett hit pay turf the first play into the second quarter follow-ing a Bonner to Josh Lewis 37-yard comple-tion Dickensrsquo 7-yard touchdown run gave to the Eagles a 23-16 lead Kenworthyrsquos point-after kick glanced off the right upright

Belton took the ball at their own 36-yard line and tried to answer the score On third down and five on the Belton 46 Mansell threw an incompletion to Taylor However five yards in front of Taylor Logan Collins was grabbed by Jakel Davis and was held trying to come back for the ball The officials did not deem it a penalty and Belton was forced to punt
Kobe Morrowrsquos 51-yard run set up Rowlettrsquos next score Bonner had 13 yards of completions and Morrowrsquos plunge in from a yard out put six more points up for the Eagles
Luplowrsquos extra-point made the score 37-23 with 42 seconds to go in the half
Belton unfazed from the drive got a bril-liant pass completion from Mansell to Collins that was tipped for a 46-yard completion to the Rowlett 16 After a Belton timeout the Tigers continued to drive the ball down to the goal line With one second remaining in the half Mansell found Taylor for a 3-yard touchdown pass Barriosrsquo extra-point made the score 37-30 at halftime
Belton got a defen-sive stand to start the third quarter as Shanks Vaughn and Chris Jones made three stops in a row on Bonner and forced Rowlett to punt
The Tigers got the ball at midfield to start their first second-half posses-sion Mansellrsquos 30-yard run set the table for his own 1-yard touchdown run to cap off the 8-play 50-yard drive Barriosrsquo extra-point tied the score at 37-37
On the next play from scrimmage Morrow took a delayed hand off waited for a hole to open burst through it and dashed 74 yards for a Rowlett score Luplowrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 44-37 lead with 813 to
go in the third quarterAnother good return
by Shanks gave the Tigers good starting field position this time on the Belton 40 Mansell dissected the Rowlett secondary with passes to Mirabel and Taylor for 27 combined yards Mansellrsquos strike to Taylor from six yards away and Barriosrsquo extra-point tied the score at 44-44 with 510 to go in the third quarter On the point-after Rowlett was flagged for an unsportsmanlike conduct foul moving the Tigers up to mid-field to kick off Belton
recovered the onside kick at the Rowlett 33 and started back to workFollowing a three-yard pass from Mansell to Bubba Marshall Peoples burst around end and raced 30 yards to give the Tigers the lead 50-44 Barriosrsquo extra-point try sailed wide left keeping the Tigers in the lead by six
Bonnerrsquos pass to Lewis for 10 yards set up a 53-yard option pitch run by Morrow down to the Belton 3 Kofi McDonald and Brandon Gangloff made huge stops to force third down Morrow pounded the ball into the end zone and Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave the Eagles a one-point lead with 129 to
play in the third quarter 51-50
After a short kickoff by Rowlett Demeatric Brandon busted off a 49-yard run down the sidelines to the Rowlett 15 Peoplesrsquo ran the ball in for a touchdown on the next play to give Belton to lead once again The Tigers lined up for a two-point conversion and Rowlett called time-out right before the play Belton trotted the point-after team back on and tried for an extra point which sailed wide right The Tigers led 56-51 with 56 seconds left in
the third quarterAfter a great special
teams play by Harvey the Eagles started their next drive at their own 28-yard line Rowlett drove the ball down to the Belton 41 and were forced into a fourth and two situation Bonner dropped back to pass and Vaughn stepped in front of the receiver at the Belton 2 and intercepted the ball with 950 left on the fourth quarter clock
Peoples always up for big-game plays busted off one of the biggest runs in recent Tiger his-tory He took the hand off Mansell made three jukes broke into the open and raced 98 yards for an electrifying Tiger score The two-point
conversion was good and the Tiger fans cheered on the effort as Belton led by 13 points 64-51 with 933 to play
Rowlett answered the call again putting together a 64-yard drive capped by a 24-yard pass from Bonner to Morrow Luplowrsquos extra-point made the score 64-58 with 714 to go
Belton got the ball back at their own 18-yard line and ended up in a third and six situation at their own 22-yard line Mansell scrambled towards the Rowlett sidelines looking for an open man He ended up out of bounds on a hard hit and was down for a couple of moments Belton had to send out backup punter Lutz to kick the ball away on fourth down The ball went off the side of his foot and Rowlett ended up with great field posi-tion at the Belton 41
Shanks and Jones made two good defensive stops on the first two plays of Rowlettrsquos next drive Bonner found Dickens for a 11-yard comple-tion for a first down and put the Eagles in striking distance again On third down and two on the Belton 8 Bonner scrambled around the right side and got the benefit of a hold from Rowlettrsquos right tackle in front of the referee as he went in for the score Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett the lead 65-64 with 233 to play in the game
Belton started to move the ball down the field on their final drive Peoples had two rushes for eight yards and Brandon bust-ed off a 12-yard run On second down and 10 at the Rowlett 30 the Tigers drew a critical holding call which set them back 10 yards On the next play Mansell threw the ball towards Taylor who was being held for 10 yards by the jersey by the safety The pass was incomplete and no call was made On third down and 20 at the Rowlett 40 Mansell
found Taylor open for a split second over the middle and threw a pass high towards him Taylor was grabbed as he attempted to make the catch and could not make the catch The back judge deemed the ball uncatch-able though Taylorrsquos fingertips appeared to touch the ball On fourth down Mansell scram-bled to find to open man and ran across the field and let a pass go that was short of the target The Tigers had to turn it over on downs with 43 seconds left Rowlett knelt the ball twice and ended the Tigersrsquo season in heartbreaking fashion
It was a bittersweet pill for the Tigers to take as they were turnover-free in the game and had a 13-point lead with 933 to play
ldquoIrsquom proud of the teamrdquo Belton head coach Bob Shipley said ldquoThey just fought and fought the entire game Either team deserved to win Both teams deserved to win Only one could win Yoursquore up 64-51 in the fourth quarter and we just had a tough time stopped them all night They had a really good scheme and really good offense We made some good stops and made the onside kick We were going to run the onside kick whether we got that 15-yard penalty or not There are a lot of situ-ations during the game that could have been the difference in the game The situation I was most disappointed in was that we couldnrsquot get a first down after they scored (with Belton leading 64-58) We shanked the punt and they scored We couldnrsquot get it donerdquo
Despite coming up a point short at the end Shipley was proud of the Tigersrsquo efforts
ldquoI really wanted them to hold up the gold foot-ball and win for our seniors a championship of some sortrdquo Shipley said ldquoBut it didnrsquot hap-pen I know that they laid the foundation to build on for next yearrdquo

Tigers Football sub-varsity teams successful in 2015
LOICONTINUED FROM C1
By Tony AdamsSports Editor
Much in the way of the past two seasons the Belton Tigersrsquo sub-varsity experienced great success in the 2015 season
The five sub-varsity teams went a combined 34-10-1 outscoring teams 1178-541
Thatrsquos an average score of 26-12 A two-touch-down differential com-bined up and down the ranks is an impressive one
The crown jewel in the season was the Belton JV Red team finishing with a perfect 10-0 record Outscoring teams 389-88 the nearest team came to within just 16 points of the Tigers
ldquoThis was a real-ly good group to work withrdquo Belton coach Mike Morgan said ldquoOne of the big selling points to the kids was that they had a tremendous opportunity to go out and compete each week As the season progressed and the team kept winning we talked about the opportunity to be perfect as a team There is never a perfect
play in a game and never a perfect game it is not possible But a team has the opportunity to have a perfect season and that is what the JV Red was able to accomplish They are a very unselfish group of players and they bought in that if they played extremely hard and did their job then they would have a great chance to be successfulrdquo
The Belton JV White team finished 6-2 against tough competition as well outscoring the oppo-sition 181-112 Though games against Stony Point (weather) and Ellison (JV teams merged) were cancelled coach Jason Moffett and his staff worked hard with their players to guide them towards success
ldquoWe try to find ways to really make the White Team importantrdquo Moffett said ldquoWe try not to allow our guys to think of themselves as ldquoBrdquo Team players We want to win ball games and be district champs no matter what the level We spend a lot of time coaching these guys I think a lot more than some other teams in
our area I saw improve-ment defensively over the course of the year in terms of alignment assignment and tacklingrdquo
The Belton Freshman Red team finished 7-3 outscoring opponents 273-146 A few of the freshmen were called up to junior varsity through-out the season
ldquoFreshmen improved from the start of camp all the way until the last game of the yearrdquo Belton coach Al Maxwell said ldquoThe improvement was most evident in the physi-cal condition and most importantly the mental toughness of the team as a wholerdquo
The Freshman White team was two points from a perfect season in their own rights (a late-season loss to Midway 29-27) having gone 9-1 in 2015 outscoring opponents 269-94
The Freshman Gray team played just a 7-game schedule and finished 2-4-1 having been out-scored 101-66 Most of the players were brought up to Freshman Red and Freshman White at the completion of the sched-
uleldquoThe guys achieved
good things this foot-ball season by winning 18 games and compet-ing with three teamsrdquo Maxwell said ldquoThe guysrsquo mental toughness was on display each game and showed when games became tough and crowds were hostile The guys did very this season and will look to win a district championship next sea-sonrdquo
The key to the success of the Tigers sub-varsity programs is the work that the players put in and the coaching staff and how they coach It is a uni-formed system up and down the ranks
ldquoWe spend a lot of time as coaches with our sub-varsity teamsrdquo Belton head football coach Bob Shipley said ldquoI canrsquot imagine any sub-varsi-ty teams in our district who get more individual coaching from varsity coaches than our kids do The JV kids have to be scout team players of course but we spend a lot of time with them out-side of varsity practice They are well-prepared
every week If you want to change a culture and have kids expecting to win you have to invest a lot of time in them before they are varsity players Our kids are learning how to win for sure Irsquove had kids tell me several times that they never won more than a game or two in middle school and they love win-ning in high school That lets us know that itrsquos all worth itrdquo
The talent is so abun-dant in the Belton sub-varsity system that the varsity team is able to bring up players to add to their depth and keep the junior varsity and fresh-man teams very competi-tive Although there are too many potential names to name players to watch in particular over the next season or two or three Shipley believes that the
10th grade season for a football player is one of the most critical seasons
ldquoThere are several JV players we expect to start for us next yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoIt should be that way every year We only had 2 sophomore players on varsity the majority of the season I think 10th grade is a critical time for players They need to be playing as much as pos-sible If theyrsquore going to be on varsity as sophomores they need to be starting because theyrsquore not get-ting any better standing on the sidelines They need to be getting every snap on Thursday nights so they can continue to develop as players and improverdquo
Congratulations to all five teams on a successful 2015 season

ldquoIt feels awesome to be selected and we really did have to sweat it out this seasonrdquo Cru head coach Pete Fredenburg said ldquoIt makes you real-ize what a fragile exis-tence you have in the playoffs and I feel an obligation to make sure we do everything we can to make the most of this opportunity I think the playersrsquo reaction shows that they are excited to be back in the playoffs and we hope that the excitement carries on into our practice and preparation for a big ball game next week-endrdquo

By Tony AdamsSports Editor
Last Friday nightrsquos bi-dis-trict playoff game between the Belton Tigers and the Rowlett Eagles was loaded with ups and downs There were so many great perfor-mances including Davion Peoples scoring rushing touchdowns on three con-secutive scores including his school record-breaking 98-yard run on his way to a 200-plus yard rushing night and Peyton Mansellrsquos ability to navigate the Tigers up and down the field
ldquoObviously we did some good things offensivelyrdquo Belton head coach Bob Shipley said ldquoWe didnrsquot turn the ball over which we knew would be key The offensive line did a good job most of the night and of course we had some receivers come up with some big plays I thought Peyton (Mansell) played really well especially for his first playoff gamerdquo
ldquoOffensively our kids did a great job execut-ing the game plan we preached all week that we couldnrsquot have that lull on offense that we have had from time to timerdquo Belton offensive coordinator Sam Skidmore said ldquoThe offen-sive line controlled the line of scrimmage DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) did a great job seeing the holes running well and blocking Peyton did it through the air and on the ground and really stepped up and led the entire receiving corps did a great job I think almost everyone had a catch and did a great job blocking as wellrdquo
As heartbreaking as the
loss was it was the high mark for points scored in a game this season and set a school record for points in a season with 452 There was absolutely no quit in the 48 minutes
ldquoDefensively it was just a long nightrdquo Shipley said ldquoWe made a couple of stops but didnrsquot in the fourth quarter when we had too They were very athletic and had a great quarterback I thought our kids fought so hard and Irsquom proud of them for that My only disappointment offensively were penalties that hurt our field position and the inability to get first downs when we had the lead in the fourth quarterrdquo
ldquoVery impressed with the resiliency our kids showedrdquo Belton special teams coach Mike Morgan said ldquoIt was a very emotional game and our kids kept responding over and over againrdquo
Ramonce Taylor was on the sidelines for the last couple of games and has been very encouraging towards the team He was so happy for Peoples when he broke his school record for the longest run
ldquoRamonce has been to several games this yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoItrsquos always great to see him and have him giving our kids point-ers I donrsquot think anyone would argue that he has to be one of the greatest athletes to ever represent Belton High School Hersquos back in school and wants to be a coach After seeing the way our kids respond to him I think hersquod be a great onerdquo
ldquoWe were very glad to have Ramonce on the side-linerdquo Skidmore said ldquoThe kids can relate and he was encouraging the kids being
involved and I know our kids enjoyed him being aroundrdquo
When discussing with the coaches the bi-district playoff game outcomes the 10-7 Shoemaker win over Sachse was a surprise to many in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex But to the Belton staff it wasnrsquot
ldquoI knew Shoemaker had a good defense but I was a little surprised by the scorerdquo Shipley said ldquoSachse has playmakers all over the field I think it shows people that our district can compete with any district in the state Every school has a great coaching staff Irsquove been very impressed with the coaches in our district and of course the athletes we see week in and week out are amazingrdquo
ldquoNo I expected Shoemaker to give them fits the match up of Kendall Jones on Sachsersquos center was going play big in favor of Shoemakerrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAlso Shoemakerrsquos overall defensive speed and tenacity gave Sachse fits I donrsquot know for sure but Irsquom assuming Shoemakerrsquos defensive line and front seven was disruptive all night against Sachsersquos offensive linerdquo
ldquoShoemaker was not a surprise at allrdquo Morgan said ldquoHolding Sachse to zero offensive touchdowns was quite an accomplish-ment But the unit that Shoemaker is able to put on the field defensively will probably not be appreci-ated until all of those guys have graduated Midway performed about like I thought they would Aside from the early season loss-es they have been a very good team the last eight weeksrdquo
The Tigers had a great season despite a 5-6 record There were highlights and lowlights as every season has
ldquoThe two games at Killeen were exciting but I think the way our kids came out and played against Hendrickson and Stony Point was a highlight for the regular seasonrdquo Shipley said ldquoThose teams beat us badly last year and our kids showed that we are a different team this year I was also proud of the way we came out against Midway as well It was a far cry from last year when we were never in the gamerdquo
ldquoI thought our offense made great strides this yearrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAt times we were very explo-sive and put up good num-bers The offensive line played well all year Shack was a great leader and it was awesome to see the prog-ress of Jerrod (Jackson) Javon (Chambers) (Jacob) Dumas and Caleb Smith Jaylin Bryant You couldnrsquot have asked for a better 1-2 punch than DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) Those two had great seasons Peyton (Mansell) got better every game he was a real leader and battled every game The leadership and tenac-ity to win he showed was impressive The receiv-ers got better all year and Olajuwon (Taylor) step-ping up and making plays all year long was hugerdquo
ldquoThe 2015 Tigers were a great bunch to coachrdquo Morgan said ldquoThere were times we had it rolling in all three phases of the game and times when we were one or two first downs or one or two stops away from breaking close games
open With all of the offen-sive skill kids who had to be replaced from 2014 I was very proud of the way new guys developed and became such weapons offensively It all started and ended with the out-standing play of our offen-sive line and tight end I thought Zach Shackelford lead that group to being very good and new coach Jacob Hunter did an out-standing job as well Most disappointing was the early season struggles of our punt team and the impact it had on our Hendrickson Stony Point and Copperas Cove losses Kickers Roberto Barrios and Ryan Smith were very effective and improved dramatically from seasonrsquos start to endrdquo
Belton led in every game this season and five of the six losses came within the final minute (a total of 16 points in those five games) Things happen in foot-ball and this team could have finished with a 2-8 record and as good as 10-1 They set a school record for points in a season (452 in 11 games shattering the 1993 record of 425 in 1993 in 12 games)
ldquoWe had a lot of tough breaks this yearrdquo Shipley added ldquoI think the clock malfunctioning at Hendrickson had an effect on the outcome of the game Hendrickson scored two touchdowns in the sec-ond quarter that Irsquom not sure they would have had time to score if the clock was working properly I really feel that the Stony Point game came down to the fourth-down spot at the end of the game That sounds like an excuse but if you were at the game you know exactly what Irsquom
talking about The kids cer-tainly played well enough to win The Shoemaker game could have gone either way as could the Cove game Irsquove had seasons where the ball bounced our way and we got some breaks but unfortunately this wasnrsquot one of themrdquo
Defensively the team may have struggled and gave up yardage and points But the solid play of defensive line lineback-ers and secondary was there John Harvey Chris Jones Carlton Shanks III Brandon Gangloff Garrison Vaughn CJ Jones DJ Fisher Cody Garrett Reagan Chapman and a host of other defensive players played well against a schedule of solid teams
ldquoWinning is difficult in 6A football regardless of what team you are a part ofrdquo Morgan said ldquoI think the biggest thing moving forward is our guys have to understand the impor-tance of every play in the outcome of a close ball-game There can never be a letdown or lapse in focus in a tight ball game On the bright side the 2015 Tigers never quit and put themselves in situations to win every ball game they played this year
As is the case every sea-son teams lose a good number of seniors to grad-uation The 2016 Belton seniors have meant a great deal to the Belton Tigers football tradition
ldquoTheyrsquove put a lot into this thingrdquo Shipley said ldquoThey bought in and worked their tails off Not many teams across the state have over 100 kids that show up at 545 every morning to work out and our seniors led the wayrdquo

The Body of Christ Community Clinic has joined in a growing international movement called GivingTuesday This is a desig-nated day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individu-als communities and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity worldwide The day itself falls on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving each year meaning the actual GivingTuesday for 2015 falls on December 1
The Body of Christ Clinic is part-nering with several local businesses and organizations to celebrate gen-erosity and promote giving on three separate TuesdaysmdashNovember 17th and 24th and December 1st (the global GivingTuesday date)
On November 17th our partner
Grand Avenue Theater in Belton will be offering $5 movies all day and a percentage of all their con-cession sales will be donated to the Clinic
On that same day the University of Mary Hardin Baylor will kick off a GivingThanks initiative in con-junction with our GivingTuesday effort Students will be able to write something for which they are grateful on a large poster and take a photograph of themselves with the poster They will also be encour-aged to make a donation to the Clinic and take another selfie this time called an ldquounselfierdquo as they make a charitable contribution
The Body of Christ Community Clinic is a team of local volun-teers committed to carrying out the compassionate healing ministry of Christ by providing personalized quality health services to the medi-cally underserved in the greater Belton and Salado ISD areas Our Vision is to be recognized as a Christ-Centered healthcare pro-vider enabling all in our commu-nity to achieve healthy living in mind body and spirit There is a great need for health services in
our community as poverty levels and uninsured rates are both high especially among minority popula-tions
Over 100 volunteers staff the Clinic rotating their services to cover the hours of operation These include doctors dentists nurses physician assistants dental assistants hygienists social work-ers and clerical techs The only paid positions are those of a full time Executive Director a part- time nurse practitioner (5hrs) a week and patient scheduler (3hrs) The Clinic is a 501 (c) (3) not for profit organization and finan-cial support for the Clinic comes from area churches and individual donors The Clinic receives no fed-eral or state funding The Clinic has been in operation for five years All the volunteers at the Clinic are men and women dedicated to expressing love and compassion to those without access to medical and dental care

It was a crazy opening night to the 2015 Texas UIL Class 6A-Region I Bi-District Playoffs at Homer B Johnson Stadium in Garland Friday night as the Belton Tigers traveled to take on the Rowlett Eagles
From the opening kick-off to the final whistle the game was track meet of epic proportions In the end the Tigers were unable to stop the Eagles
late and were stopped on a last-ditch effort inside the final minute Rowlett advanced to the area round against Dallas Skyline with a 65-64 win over Belton
The Tigers ended their season 5-6
Belton took the open-ing kickoff and performed some trickeration as Davion Peoples pitched the ball to Olajuwon Taylor after receiving the ball Taylor went 40 yards to start the Tigers on their own 40-yard line Peoples
ran the first play from scrimmage for 15 yards and the third play for 17 yards The plays set up a field goal of 37 yards from Roberto Barrios to give the Tigers a 3-0 lead with 1006 to play in the first quarter
Rowlett answered the score with a touch-down of 26 yards from Logan Bonner to LaDarius Pickens Alvin Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 7-3 lead with 722 to play in the opening stanza
Carlton Shanks III took a pooch kick by the Eagles 57 yards to the Rowlett 8 to set up Peoplesrsquo eight-yard run on the next play A bad snap caused holder Anthony Mirabel to pull in the ball and break for the right pylon Mirabel appeared to have made it to the inside of the pylon by the replay but the ref-eree claimed he went out of bounds and called the conversion attempt no good Belton led 9-7 lead with 702 to go in the first quarter
One of the Rowlett returners was rocked by a hit and fumbled but one of the Eagles recovered the ball on the Rowlett 33 Bonner connected with Quinton Stinson for a 63-yard pass comple-tion down to the Belton 2 Bonner snuck the ball into the end zone on the next play Chris Luplowrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 14-9 lead with 641 to go in the quarter
Belton took the next possession down to the Rowlett 45 but turned
the ball over on downs when Peoples was stopped at the Rowlett 44 on fourth down and three The Eagles took the ball and drove it down to the Belton 7 Great defen-sive plays by Garrison Vaughn Bryan Thomas and John Harvey kept the ball out of the end zone forcing the Eagles to settle for a Kenworthy 23-yard field goal Rowlett led 17-9 with 227 left in the first period

Payton Mansell found Weston Lucas for a nice 27-yard comple-tion into Rowlett terri-tory to highlight the next scoring drive The duo hooked up for a 25-yard touchdown strike and Barrios hit the point-after to draw the Tigers to within a point 17-16 with 37 seconds remain-ing in the quarter
Rowlett hit pay turf the first play into the second quarter follow-ing a Bonner to Josh Lewis 37-yard comple-tion Dickensrsquo 7-yard touchdown run gave to the Eagles a 23-16 lead Kenworthyrsquos point-after kick glanced off the right upright

Belton took the ball at their own 36-yard line and tried to answer the score On third down and five on the Belton 46 Mansell threw an incompletion to Taylor However five yards in front of Taylor Logan Collins was grabbed by Jakel Davis and was held trying to come back for the ball The officials did not deem it a penalty and Belton was forced to punt
Kobe Morrowrsquos 51-yard run set up Rowlettrsquos next score Bonner had 13 yards of completions and Morrowrsquos plunge in from a yard out put six more points up for the Eagles
Luplowrsquos extra-point made the score 37-23 with 42 seconds to go in the half
Belton unfazed from the drive got a bril-liant pass completion from Mansell to Collins that was tipped for a 46-yard completion to the Rowlett 16 After a Belton timeout the Tigers continued to drive the ball down to the goal line With one second remaining in the half Mansell found Taylor for a 3-yard touchdown pass Barriosrsquo extra-point made the score 37-30 at halftime
Belton got a defen-sive stand to start the third quarter as Shanks Vaughn and Chris Jones made three stops in a row on Bonner and forced Rowlett to punt
The Tigers got the ball at midfield to start their first second-half posses-sion Mansellrsquos 30-yard run set the table for his own 1-yard touchdown run to cap off the 8-play 50-yard drive Barriosrsquo extra-point tied the score at 37-37
On the next play from scrimmage Morrow took a delayed hand off waited for a hole to open burst through it and dashed 74 yards for a Rowlett score Luplowrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 44-37 lead with 813 to
go in the third quarterAnother good return
by Shanks gave the Tigers good starting field position this time on the Belton 40 Mansell dissected the Rowlett secondary with passes to Mirabel and Taylor for 27 combined yards Mansellrsquos strike to Taylor from six yards away and Barriosrsquo extra-point tied the score at 44-44 with 510 to go in the third quarter On the point-after Rowlett was flagged for an unsportsmanlike conduct foul moving the Tigers up to mid-field to kick off Belton
recovered the onside kick at the Rowlett 33 and started back to workFollowing a three-yard pass from Mansell to Bubba Marshall Peoples burst around end and raced 30 yards to give the Tigers the lead 50-44 Barriosrsquo extra-point try sailed wide left keeping the Tigers in the lead by six
Bonnerrsquos pass to Lewis for 10 yards set up a 53-yard option pitch run by Morrow down to the Belton 3 Kofi McDonald and Brandon Gangloff made huge stops to force third down Morrow pounded the ball into the end zone and Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave the Eagles a one-point lead with 129 to
play in the third quarter 51-50
After a short kickoff by Rowlett Demeatric Brandon busted off a 49-yard run down the sidelines to the Rowlett 15 Peoplesrsquo ran the ball in for a touchdown on the next play to give Belton to lead once again The Tigers lined up for a two-point conversion and Rowlett called time-out right before the play Belton trotted the point-after team back on and tried for an extra point which sailed wide right The Tigers led 56-51 with 56 seconds left in
the third quarterAfter a great special
teams play by Harvey the Eagles started their next drive at their own 28-yard line Rowlett drove the ball down to the Belton 41 and were forced into a fourth and two situation Bonner dropped back to pass and Vaughn stepped in front of the receiver at the Belton 2 and intercepted the ball with 950 left on the fourth quarter clock
Peoples always up for big-game plays busted off one of the biggest runs in recent Tiger his-tory He took the hand off Mansell made three jukes broke into the open and raced 98 yards for an electrifying Tiger score The two-point
conversion was good and the Tiger fans cheered on the effort as Belton led by 13 points 64-51 with 933 to play
Rowlett answered the call again putting together a 64-yard drive capped by a 24-yard pass from Bonner to Morrow Luplowrsquos extra-point made the score 64-58 with 714 to go
Belton got the ball back at their own 18-yard line and ended up in a third and six situation at their own 22-yard line Mansell scrambled towards the Rowlett sidelines looking for an open man He ended up out of bounds on a hard hit and was down for a couple of moments Belton had to send out backup punter Lutz to kick the ball away on fourth down The ball went off the side of his foot and Rowlett ended up with great field posi-tion at the Belton 41
Shanks and Jones made two good defensive stops on the first two plays of Rowlettrsquos next drive Bonner found Dickens for a 11-yard comple-tion for a first down and put the Eagles in striking distance again On third down and two on the Belton 8 Bonner scrambled around the right side and got the benefit of a hold from Rowlettrsquos right tackle in front of the referee as he went in for the score Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett the lead 65-64 with 233 to play in the game
Belton started to move the ball down the field on their final drive Peoples had two rushes for eight yards and Brandon bust-ed off a 12-yard run On second down and 10 at the Rowlett 30 the Tigers drew a critical holding call which set them back 10 yards On the next play Mansell threw the ball towards Taylor who was being held for 10 yards by the jersey by the safety The pass was incomplete and no call was made On third down and 20 at the Rowlett 40 Mansell
found Taylor open for a split second over the middle and threw a pass high towards him Taylor was grabbed as he attempted to make the catch and could not make the catch The back judge deemed the ball uncatch-able though Taylorrsquos fingertips appeared to touch the ball On fourth down Mansell scram-bled to find to open man and ran across the field and let a pass go that was short of the target The Tigers had to turn it over on downs with 43 seconds left Rowlett knelt the ball twice and ended the Tigersrsquo season in heartbreaking fashion
It was a bittersweet pill for the Tigers to take as they were turnover-free in the game and had a 13-point lead with 933 to play
ldquoIrsquom proud of the teamrdquo Belton head coach Bob Shipley said ldquoThey just fought and fought the entire game Either team deserved to win Both teams deserved to win Only one could win Yoursquore up 64-51 in the fourth quarter and we just had a tough time stopped them all night They had a really good scheme and really good offense We made some good stops and made the onside kick We were going to run the onside kick whether we got that 15-yard penalty or not There are a lot of situ-ations during the game that could have been the difference in the game The situation I was most disappointed in was that we couldnrsquot get a first down after they scored (with Belton leading 64-58) We shanked the punt and they scored We couldnrsquot get it donerdquo
Despite coming up a point short at the end Shipley was proud of the Tigersrsquo efforts
ldquoI really wanted them to hold up the gold foot-ball and win for our seniors a championship of some sortrdquo Shipley said ldquoBut it didnrsquot hap-pen I know that they laid the foundation to build on for next yearrdquo

Belton used a 29-7 third quarter and com-pounded it to a 17-point halftime lead en route to an 81-39 win over the Austin Travis Rebels
The Tigers are now 1-0 on the young season
Belton held Travis to one field goal in the first
quarter although neither team hit the scoreboard until Kiron Griffin Jr hit a put back in the paint at the 511 match and Izaiah Jones had a put back 20 seconds later to put Belton up 4-0
After a Travis field goal Jones Ruben Freeman and Dontori Lott helped the Tigers mount a 9-3 closing run to give Belton a 13-5 lead at the end of the first quarter

It is the biggest Belton margin of victory in sev-eral years President saw great things from his young team during the ball game
ldquoThe energy level was high and everybody came out ready to playrdquo President said ldquoI bragged on a couple of guys ear-lier today and they came out a little slow When we went to our bench we had great energyrdquo
Five Tigers scored in double-figures with
Jones leading the team with 15 points (10 in a row in the third quarter) Lott scored 14 Griffin posted 12 Hammond scored 11 and Freeman scored 10 Seven Tigers scored in all
Beltonrsquos two leading scorers from a year ago Jackson McGowan and Jordan Russell didnrsquot score But they posted several rebounds assists and steals in a solid defensive effort
ldquoWe have to have strong production from our bench all season longrdquo President said ldquoOn different nights some guys are going to be on We expect that
But when we bring the energy every night thatrsquos big time for usrdquo
Belton will travel to Temple to take on the Wildcats Saturday after-noon at 5 pm The game was moved from 7 pm on Friday to Saturday afternoon due to Templersquos playoff game in Bryan
ldquoItrsquos a rivalry gamerdquo President said ldquoItrsquos a game that will have high emotion and a lot of energy in the building We just have to do what we do We canrsquot get out of what we do We need to execute and play within ourselvesrdquo

Tigers Football sub-varsity teams successful in 2015
LOICONTINUED FROM C1
By Tony AdamsSports Editor
Much in the way of the past two seasons the Belton Tigersrsquo sub-varsity experienced great success in the 2015 season
The five sub-varsity teams went a combined 34-10-1 outscoring teams 1178-541
Thatrsquos an average score of 26-12 A two-touch-down differential com-bined up and down the ranks is an impressive one
The crown jewel in the season was the Belton JV Red team finishing with a perfect 10-0 record Outscoring teams 389-88 the nearest team came to within just 16 points of the Tigers
ldquoThis was a real-ly good group to work withrdquo Belton coach Mike Morgan said ldquoOne of the big selling points to the kids was that they had a tremendous opportunity to go out and compete each week As the season progressed and the team kept winning we talked about the opportunity to be perfect as a team There is never a perfect
play in a game and never a perfect game it is not possible But a team has the opportunity to have a perfect season and that is what the JV Red was able to accomplish They are a very unselfish group of players and they bought in that if they played extremely hard and did their job then they would have a great chance to be successfulrdquo
The Belton JV White team finished 6-2 against tough competition as well outscoring the oppo-sition 181-112 Though games against Stony Point (weather) and Ellison (JV teams merged) were cancelled coach Jason Moffett and his staff worked hard with their players to guide them towards success
ldquoWe try to find ways to really make the White Team importantrdquo Moffett said ldquoWe try not to allow our guys to think of themselves as ldquoBrdquo Team players We want to win ball games and be district champs no matter what the level We spend a lot of time coaching these guys I think a lot more than some other teams in
our area I saw improve-ment defensively over the course of the year in terms of alignment assignment and tacklingrdquo
The Belton Freshman Red team finished 7-3 outscoring opponents 273-146 A few of the freshmen were called up to junior varsity through-out the season
ldquoFreshmen improved from the start of camp all the way until the last game of the yearrdquo Belton coach Al Maxwell said ldquoThe improvement was most evident in the physi-cal condition and most importantly the mental toughness of the team as a wholerdquo
The Freshman White team was two points from a perfect season in their own rights (a late-season loss to Midway 29-27) having gone 9-1 in 2015 outscoring opponents 269-94
The Freshman Gray team played just a 7-game schedule and finished 2-4-1 having been out-scored 101-66 Most of the players were brought up to Freshman Red and Freshman White at the completion of the sched-
uleldquoThe guys achieved
good things this foot-ball season by winning 18 games and compet-ing with three teamsrdquo Maxwell said ldquoThe guysrsquo mental toughness was on display each game and showed when games became tough and crowds were hostile The guys did very this season and will look to win a district championship next sea-sonrdquo
The key to the success of the Tigers sub-varsity programs is the work that the players put in and the coaching staff and how they coach It is a uni-formed system up and down the ranks
ldquoWe spend a lot of time as coaches with our sub-varsity teamsrdquo Belton head football coach Bob Shipley said ldquoI canrsquot imagine any sub-varsi-ty teams in our district who get more individual coaching from varsity coaches than our kids do The JV kids have to be scout team players of course but we spend a lot of time with them out-side of varsity practice They are well-prepared
every week If you want to change a culture and have kids expecting to win you have to invest a lot of time in them before they are varsity players Our kids are learning how to win for sure Irsquove had kids tell me several times that they never won more than a game or two in middle school and they love win-ning in high school That lets us know that itrsquos all worth itrdquo
The talent is so abun-dant in the Belton sub-varsity system that the varsity team is able to bring up players to add to their depth and keep the junior varsity and fresh-man teams very competi-tive Although there are too many potential names to name players to watch in particular over the next season or two or three Shipley believes that the
10th grade season for a football player is one of the most critical seasons
ldquoThere are several JV players we expect to start for us next yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoIt should be that way every year We only had 2 sophomore players on varsity the majority of the season I think 10th grade is a critical time for players They need to be playing as much as pos-sible If theyrsquore going to be on varsity as sophomores they need to be starting because theyrsquore not get-ting any better standing on the sidelines They need to be getting every snap on Thursday nights so they can continue to develop as players and improverdquo
Congratulations to all five teams on a successful 2015 season

Last Friday nightrsquos bi-dis-trict playoff game between the Belton Tigers and the Rowlett Eagles was loaded with ups and downs There were so many great perfor-mances including Davion Peoples scoring rushing touchdowns on three con-secutive scores including his school record-breaking 98-yard run on his way to a 200-plus yard rushing night and Peyton Mansellrsquos ability to navigate the Tigers up and down the field
ldquoObviously we did some good things offensivelyrdquo Belton head coach Bob Shipley said ldquoWe didnrsquot turn the ball over which we knew would be key The offensive line did a good job most of the night and of course we had some receivers come up with some big plays I thought Peyton (Mansell) played really well especially for his first playoff gamerdquo
ldquoOffensively our kids did a great job execut-ing the game plan we preached all week that we couldnrsquot have that lull on offense that we have had from time to timerdquo Belton offensive coordinator Sam Skidmore said ldquoThe offen-sive line controlled the line of scrimmage DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) did a great job seeing the holes running well and blocking Peyton did it through the air and on the ground and really stepped up and led the entire receiving corps did a great job I think almost everyone had a catch and did a great job blocking as wellrdquo
As heartbreaking as the
loss was it was the high mark for points scored in a game this season and set a school record for points in a season with 452 There was absolutely no quit in the 48 minutes
ldquoDefensively it was just a long nightrdquo Shipley said ldquoWe made a couple of stops but didnrsquot in the fourth quarter when we had too They were very athletic and had a great quarterback I thought our kids fought so hard and Irsquom proud of them for that My only disappointment offensively were penalties that hurt our field position and the inability to get first downs when we had the lead in the fourth quarterrdquo
ldquoVery impressed with the resiliency our kids showedrdquo Belton special teams coach Mike Morgan said ldquoIt was a very emotional game and our kids kept responding over and over againrdquo
Ramonce Taylor was on the sidelines for the last couple of games and has been very encouraging towards the team He was so happy for Peoples when he broke his school record for the longest run
ldquoRamonce has been to several games this yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoItrsquos always great to see him and have him giving our kids point-ers I donrsquot think anyone would argue that he has to be one of the greatest athletes to ever represent Belton High School Hersquos back in school and wants to be a coach After seeing the way our kids respond to him I think hersquod be a great onerdquo
ldquoWe were very glad to have Ramonce on the side-linerdquo Skidmore said ldquoThe kids can relate and he was encouraging the kids being
involved and I know our kids enjoyed him being aroundrdquo
When discussing with the coaches the bi-district playoff game outcomes the 10-7 Shoemaker win over Sachse was a surprise to many in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex But to the Belton staff it wasnrsquot
ldquoI knew Shoemaker had a good defense but I was a little surprised by the scorerdquo Shipley said ldquoSachse has playmakers all over the field I think it shows people that our district can compete with any district in the state Every school has a great coaching staff Irsquove been very impressed with the coaches in our district and of course the athletes we see week in and week out are amazingrdquo
ldquoNo I expected Shoemaker to give them fits the match up of Kendall Jones on Sachsersquos center was going play big in favor of Shoemakerrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAlso Shoemakerrsquos overall defensive speed and tenacity gave Sachse fits I donrsquot know for sure but Irsquom assuming Shoemakerrsquos defensive line and front seven was disruptive all night against Sachsersquos offensive linerdquo
ldquoShoemaker was not a surprise at allrdquo Morgan said ldquoHolding Sachse to zero offensive touchdowns was quite an accomplish-ment But the unit that Shoemaker is able to put on the field defensively will probably not be appreci-ated until all of those guys have graduated Midway performed about like I thought they would Aside from the early season loss-es they have been a very good team the last eight weeksrdquo
The Tigers had a great season despite a 5-6 record There were highlights and lowlights as every season has
ldquoThe two games at Killeen were exciting but I think the way our kids came out and played against Hendrickson and Stony Point was a highlight for the regular seasonrdquo Shipley said ldquoThose teams beat us badly last year and our kids showed that we are a different team this year I was also proud of the way we came out against Midway as well It was a far cry from last year when we were never in the gamerdquo
ldquoI thought our offense made great strides this yearrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAt times we were very explo-sive and put up good num-bers The offensive line played well all year Shack was a great leader and it was awesome to see the prog-ress of Jerrod (Jackson) Javon (Chambers) (Jacob) Dumas and Caleb Smith Jaylin Bryant You couldnrsquot have asked for a better 1-2 punch than DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) Those two had great seasons Peyton (Mansell) got better every game he was a real leader and battled every game The leadership and tenac-ity to win he showed was impressive The receiv-ers got better all year and Olajuwon (Taylor) step-ping up and making plays all year long was hugerdquo
ldquoThe 2015 Tigers were a great bunch to coachrdquo Morgan said ldquoThere were times we had it rolling in all three phases of the game and times when we were one or two first downs or one or two stops away from breaking close games
open With all of the offen-sive skill kids who had to be replaced from 2014 I was very proud of the way new guys developed and became such weapons offensively It all started and ended with the out-standing play of our offen-sive line and tight end I thought Zach Shackelford lead that group to being very good and new coach Jacob Hunter did an out-standing job as well Most disappointing was the early season struggles of our punt team and the impact it had on our Hendrickson Stony Point and Copperas Cove losses Kickers Roberto Barrios and Ryan Smith were very effective and improved dramatically from seasonrsquos start to endrdquo
Belton led in every game this season and five of the six losses came within the final minute (a total of 16 points in those five games) Things happen in foot-ball and this team could have finished with a 2-8 record and as good as 10-1 They set a school record for points in a season (452 in 11 games shattering the 1993 record of 425 in 1993 in 12 games)
ldquoWe had a lot of tough breaks this yearrdquo Shipley added ldquoI think the clock malfunctioning at Hendrickson had an effect on the outcome of the game Hendrickson scored two touchdowns in the sec-ond quarter that Irsquom not sure they would have had time to score if the clock was working properly I really feel that the Stony Point game came down to the fourth-down spot at the end of the game That sounds like an excuse but if you were at the game you know exactly what Irsquom
talking about The kids cer-tainly played well enough to win The Shoemaker game could have gone either way as could the Cove game Irsquove had seasons where the ball bounced our way and we got some breaks but unfortunately this wasnrsquot one of themrdquo
Defensively the team may have struggled and gave up yardage and points But the solid play of defensive line lineback-ers and secondary was there John Harvey Chris Jones Carlton Shanks III Brandon Gangloff Garrison Vaughn CJ Jones DJ Fisher Cody Garrett Reagan Chapman and a host of other defensive players played well against a schedule of solid teams
ldquoWinning is difficult in 6A football regardless of what team you are a part ofrdquo Morgan said ldquoI think the biggest thing moving forward is our guys have to understand the impor-tance of every play in the outcome of a close ball-game There can never be a letdown or lapse in focus in a tight ball game On the bright side the 2015 Tigers never quit and put themselves in situations to win every ball game they played this year
As is the case every sea-son teams lose a good number of seniors to grad-uation The 2016 Belton seniors have meant a great deal to the Belton Tigers football tradition
ldquoTheyrsquove put a lot into this thingrdquo Shipley said ldquoThey bought in and worked their tails off Not many teams across the state have over 100 kids that show up at 545 every morning to work out and our seniors led the wayrdquo

It was a crazy opening night to the 2015 Texas UIL Class 6A-Region I Bi-District Playoffs at Homer B Johnson Stadium in Garland Friday night as the Belton Tigers traveled to take on the Rowlett Eagles
From the opening kick-off to the final whistle the game was track meet of epic proportions In the end the Tigers were unable to stop the Eagles
late and were stopped on a last-ditch effort inside the final minute Rowlett advanced to the area round against Dallas Skyline with a 65-64 win over Belton
The Tigers ended their season 5-6
Belton took the open-ing kickoff and performed some trickeration as Davion Peoples pitched the ball to Olajuwon Taylor after receiving the ball Taylor went 40 yards to start the Tigers on their own 40-yard line Peoples
ran the first play from scrimmage for 15 yards and the third play for 17 yards The plays set up a field goal of 37 yards from Roberto Barrios to give the Tigers a 3-0 lead with 1006 to play in the first quarter
Rowlett answered the score with a touch-down of 26 yards from Logan Bonner to LaDarius Pickens Alvin Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 7-3 lead with 722 to play in the opening stanza
Carlton Shanks III took a pooch kick by the Eagles 57 yards to the Rowlett 8 to set up Peoplesrsquo eight-yard run on the next play A bad snap caused holder Anthony Mirabel to pull in the ball and break for the right pylon Mirabel appeared to have made it to the inside of the pylon by the replay but the ref-eree claimed he went out of bounds and called the conversion attempt no good Belton led 9-7 lead with 702 to go in the first quarter
One of the Rowlett returners was rocked by a hit and fumbled but one of the Eagles recovered the ball on the Rowlett 33 Bonner connected with Quinton Stinson for a 63-yard pass comple-tion down to the Belton 2 Bonner snuck the ball into the end zone on the next play Chris Luplowrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 14-9 lead with 641 to go in the quarter
Belton took the next possession down to the Rowlett 45 but turned
the ball over on downs when Peoples was stopped at the Rowlett 44 on fourth down and three The Eagles took the ball and drove it down to the Belton 7 Great defen-sive plays by Garrison Vaughn Bryan Thomas and John Harvey kept the ball out of the end zone forcing the Eagles to settle for a Kenworthy 23-yard field goal Rowlett led 17-9 with 227 left in the first period

Payton Mansell found Weston Lucas for a nice 27-yard comple-tion into Rowlett terri-tory to highlight the next scoring drive The duo hooked up for a 25-yard touchdown strike and Barrios hit the point-after to draw the Tigers to within a point 17-16 with 37 seconds remain-ing in the quarter
Rowlett hit pay turf the first play into the second quarter follow-ing a Bonner to Josh Lewis 37-yard comple-tion Dickensrsquo 7-yard touchdown run gave to the Eagles a 23-16 lead Kenworthyrsquos point-after kick glanced off the right upright

Belton took the ball at their own 36-yard line and tried to answer the score On third down and five on the Belton 46 Mansell threw an incompletion to Taylor However five yards in front of Taylor Logan Collins was grabbed by Jakel Davis and was held trying to come back for the ball The officials did not deem it a penalty and Belton was forced to punt
Kobe Morrowrsquos 51-yard run set up Rowlettrsquos next score Bonner had 13 yards of completions and Morrowrsquos plunge in from a yard out put six more points up for the Eagles
Luplowrsquos extra-point made the score 37-23 with 42 seconds to go in the half
Belton unfazed from the drive got a bril-liant pass completion from Mansell to Collins that was tipped for a 46-yard completion to the Rowlett 16 After a Belton timeout the Tigers continued to drive the ball down to the goal line With one second remaining in the half Mansell found Taylor for a 3-yard touchdown pass Barriosrsquo extra-point made the score 37-30 at halftime
Belton got a defen-sive stand to start the third quarter as Shanks Vaughn and Chris Jones made three stops in a row on Bonner and forced Rowlett to punt
The Tigers got the ball at midfield to start their first second-half posses-sion Mansellrsquos 30-yard run set the table for his own 1-yard touchdown run to cap off the 8-play 50-yard drive Barriosrsquo extra-point tied the score at 37-37
On the next play from scrimmage Morrow took a delayed hand off waited for a hole to open burst through it and dashed 74 yards for a Rowlett score Luplowrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 44-37 lead with 813 to
go in the third quarterAnother good return
by Shanks gave the Tigers good starting field position this time on the Belton 40 Mansell dissected the Rowlett secondary with passes to Mirabel and Taylor for 27 combined yards Mansellrsquos strike to Taylor from six yards away and Barriosrsquo extra-point tied the score at 44-44 with 510 to go in the third quarter On the point-after Rowlett was flagged for an unsportsmanlike conduct foul moving the Tigers up to mid-field to kick off Belton
recovered the onside kick at the Rowlett 33 and started back to workFollowing a three-yard pass from Mansell to Bubba Marshall Peoples burst around end and raced 30 yards to give the Tigers the lead 50-44 Barriosrsquo extra-point try sailed wide left keeping the Tigers in the lead by six
Bonnerrsquos pass to Lewis for 10 yards set up a 53-yard option pitch run by Morrow down to the Belton 3 Kofi McDonald and Brandon Gangloff made huge stops to force third down Morrow pounded the ball into the end zone and Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave the Eagles a one-point lead with 129 to
play in the third quarter 51-50
After a short kickoff by Rowlett Demeatric Brandon busted off a 49-yard run down the sidelines to the Rowlett 15 Peoplesrsquo ran the ball in for a touchdown on the next play to give Belton to lead once again The Tigers lined up for a two-point conversion and Rowlett called time-out right before the play Belton trotted the point-after team back on and tried for an extra point which sailed wide right The Tigers led 56-51 with 56 seconds left in
the third quarterAfter a great special
teams play by Harvey the Eagles started their next drive at their own 28-yard line Rowlett drove the ball down to the Belton 41 and were forced into a fourth and two situation Bonner dropped back to pass and Vaughn stepped in front of the receiver at the Belton 2 and intercepted the ball with 950 left on the fourth quarter clock
Peoples always up for big-game plays busted off one of the biggest runs in recent Tiger his-tory He took the hand off Mansell made three jukes broke into the open and raced 98 yards for an electrifying Tiger score The two-point
conversion was good and the Tiger fans cheered on the effort as Belton led by 13 points 64-51 with 933 to play
Rowlett answered the call again putting together a 64-yard drive capped by a 24-yard pass from Bonner to Morrow Luplowrsquos extra-point made the score 64-58 with 714 to go
Belton got the ball back at their own 18-yard line and ended up in a third and six situation at their own 22-yard line Mansell scrambled towards the Rowlett sidelines looking for an open man He ended up out of bounds on a hard hit and was down for a couple of moments Belton had to send out backup punter Lutz to kick the ball away on fourth down The ball went off the side of his foot and Rowlett ended up with great field posi-tion at the Belton 41
Shanks and Jones made two good defensive stops on the first two plays of Rowlettrsquos next drive Bonner found Dickens for a 11-yard comple-tion for a first down and put the Eagles in striking distance again On third down and two on the Belton 8 Bonner scrambled around the right side and got the benefit of a hold from Rowlettrsquos right tackle in front of the referee as he went in for the score Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett the lead 65-64 with 233 to play in the game
Belton started to move the ball down the field on their final drive Peoples had two rushes for eight yards and Brandon bust-ed off a 12-yard run On second down and 10 at the Rowlett 30 the Tigers drew a critical holding call which set them back 10 yards On the next play Mansell threw the ball towards Taylor who was being held for 10 yards by the jersey by the safety The pass was incomplete and no call was made On third down and 20 at the Rowlett 40 Mansell
found Taylor open for a split second over the middle and threw a pass high towards him Taylor was grabbed as he attempted to make the catch and could not make the catch The back judge deemed the ball uncatch-able though Taylorrsquos fingertips appeared to touch the ball On fourth down Mansell scram-bled to find to open man and ran across the field and let a pass go that was short of the target The Tigers had to turn it over on downs with 43 seconds left Rowlett knelt the ball twice and ended the Tigersrsquo season in heartbreaking fashion
It was a bittersweet pill for the Tigers to take as they were turnover-free in the game and had a 13-point lead with 933 to play
ldquoIrsquom proud of the teamrdquo Belton head coach Bob Shipley said ldquoThey just fought and fought the entire game Either team deserved to win Both teams deserved to win Only one could win Yoursquore up 64-51 in the fourth quarter and we just had a tough time stopped them all night They had a really good scheme and really good offense We made some good stops and made the onside kick We were going to run the onside kick whether we got that 15-yard penalty or not There are a lot of situ-ations during the game that could have been the difference in the game The situation I was most disappointed in was that we couldnrsquot get a first down after they scored (with Belton leading 64-58) We shanked the punt and they scored We couldnrsquot get it donerdquo
Despite coming up a point short at the end Shipley was proud of the Tigersrsquo efforts
ldquoI really wanted them to hold up the gold foot-ball and win for our seniors a championship of some sortrdquo Shipley said ldquoBut it didnrsquot hap-pen I know that they laid the foundation to build on for next yearrdquo

Tigers Football sub-varsity teams successful in 2015
LOICONTINUED FROM C1
By Tony AdamsSports Editor
Much in the way of the past two seasons the Belton Tigersrsquo sub-varsity experienced great success in the 2015 season
The five sub-varsity teams went a combined 34-10-1 outscoring teams 1178-541
Thatrsquos an average score of 26-12 A two-touch-down differential com-bined up and down the ranks is an impressive one
The crown jewel in the season was the Belton JV Red team finishing with a perfect 10-0 record Outscoring teams 389-88 the nearest team came to within just 16 points of the Tigers
ldquoThis was a real-ly good group to work withrdquo Belton coach Mike Morgan said ldquoOne of the big selling points to the kids was that they had a tremendous opportunity to go out and compete each week As the season progressed and the team kept winning we talked about the opportunity to be perfect as a team There is never a perfect
play in a game and never a perfect game it is not possible But a team has the opportunity to have a perfect season and that is what the JV Red was able to accomplish They are a very unselfish group of players and they bought in that if they played extremely hard and did their job then they would have a great chance to be successfulrdquo
The Belton JV White team finished 6-2 against tough competition as well outscoring the oppo-sition 181-112 Though games against Stony Point (weather) and Ellison (JV teams merged) were cancelled coach Jason Moffett and his staff worked hard with their players to guide them towards success
ldquoWe try to find ways to really make the White Team importantrdquo Moffett said ldquoWe try not to allow our guys to think of themselves as ldquoBrdquo Team players We want to win ball games and be district champs no matter what the level We spend a lot of time coaching these guys I think a lot more than some other teams in
our area I saw improve-ment defensively over the course of the year in terms of alignment assignment and tacklingrdquo
The Belton Freshman Red team finished 7-3 outscoring opponents 273-146 A few of the freshmen were called up to junior varsity through-out the season
ldquoFreshmen improved from the start of camp all the way until the last game of the yearrdquo Belton coach Al Maxwell said ldquoThe improvement was most evident in the physi-cal condition and most importantly the mental toughness of the team as a wholerdquo
The Freshman White team was two points from a perfect season in their own rights (a late-season loss to Midway 29-27) having gone 9-1 in 2015 outscoring opponents 269-94
The Freshman Gray team played just a 7-game schedule and finished 2-4-1 having been out-scored 101-66 Most of the players were brought up to Freshman Red and Freshman White at the completion of the sched-
uleldquoThe guys achieved
good things this foot-ball season by winning 18 games and compet-ing with three teamsrdquo Maxwell said ldquoThe guysrsquo mental toughness was on display each game and showed when games became tough and crowds were hostile The guys did very this season and will look to win a district championship next sea-sonrdquo
The key to the success of the Tigers sub-varsity programs is the work that the players put in and the coaching staff and how they coach It is a uni-formed system up and down the ranks
ldquoWe spend a lot of time as coaches with our sub-varsity teamsrdquo Belton head football coach Bob Shipley said ldquoI canrsquot imagine any sub-varsi-ty teams in our district who get more individual coaching from varsity coaches than our kids do The JV kids have to be scout team players of course but we spend a lot of time with them out-side of varsity practice They are well-prepared
every week If you want to change a culture and have kids expecting to win you have to invest a lot of time in them before they are varsity players Our kids are learning how to win for sure Irsquove had kids tell me several times that they never won more than a game or two in middle school and they love win-ning in high school That lets us know that itrsquos all worth itrdquo
The talent is so abun-dant in the Belton sub-varsity system that the varsity team is able to bring up players to add to their depth and keep the junior varsity and fresh-man teams very competi-tive Although there are too many potential names to name players to watch in particular over the next season or two or three Shipley believes that the
10th grade season for a football player is one of the most critical seasons
ldquoThere are several JV players we expect to start for us next yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoIt should be that way every year We only had 2 sophomore players on varsity the majority of the season I think 10th grade is a critical time for players They need to be playing as much as pos-sible If theyrsquore going to be on varsity as sophomores they need to be starting because theyrsquore not get-ting any better standing on the sidelines They need to be getting every snap on Thursday nights so they can continue to develop as players and improverdquo
Congratulations to all five teams on a successful 2015 season

By Tony AdamsSports Editor
Last Friday nightrsquos bi-dis-trict playoff game between the Belton Tigers and the Rowlett Eagles was loaded with ups and downs There were so many great perfor-mances including Davion Peoples scoring rushing touchdowns on three con-secutive scores including his school record-breaking 98-yard run on his way to a 200-plus yard rushing night and Peyton Mansellrsquos ability to navigate the Tigers up and down the field
ldquoObviously we did some good things offensivelyrdquo Belton head coach Bob Shipley said ldquoWe didnrsquot turn the ball over which we knew would be key The offensive line did a good job most of the night and of course we had some receivers come up with some big plays I thought Peyton (Mansell) played really well especially for his first playoff gamerdquo
ldquoOffensively our kids did a great job execut-ing the game plan we preached all week that we couldnrsquot have that lull on offense that we have had from time to timerdquo Belton offensive coordinator Sam Skidmore said ldquoThe offen-sive line controlled the line of scrimmage DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) did a great job seeing the holes running well and blocking Peyton did it through the air and on the ground and really stepped up and led the entire receiving corps did a great job I think almost everyone had a catch and did a great job blocking as wellrdquo
As heartbreaking as the
loss was it was the high mark for points scored in a game this season and set a school record for points in a season with 452 There was absolutely no quit in the 48 minutes
ldquoDefensively it was just a long nightrdquo Shipley said ldquoWe made a couple of stops but didnrsquot in the fourth quarter when we had too They were very athletic and had a great quarterback I thought our kids fought so hard and Irsquom proud of them for that My only disappointment offensively were penalties that hurt our field position and the inability to get first downs when we had the lead in the fourth quarterrdquo
ldquoVery impressed with the resiliency our kids showedrdquo Belton special teams coach Mike Morgan said ldquoIt was a very emotional game and our kids kept responding over and over againrdquo
Ramonce Taylor was on the sidelines for the last couple of games and has been very encouraging towards the team He was so happy for Peoples when he broke his school record for the longest run
ldquoRamonce has been to several games this yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoItrsquos always great to see him and have him giving our kids point-ers I donrsquot think anyone would argue that he has to be one of the greatest athletes to ever represent Belton High School Hersquos back in school and wants to be a coach After seeing the way our kids respond to him I think hersquod be a great onerdquo
ldquoWe were very glad to have Ramonce on the side-linerdquo Skidmore said ldquoThe kids can relate and he was encouraging the kids being
involved and I know our kids enjoyed him being aroundrdquo
When discussing with the coaches the bi-district playoff game outcomes the 10-7 Shoemaker win over Sachse was a surprise to many in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex But to the Belton staff it wasnrsquot
ldquoI knew Shoemaker had a good defense but I was a little surprised by the scorerdquo Shipley said ldquoSachse has playmakers all over the field I think it shows people that our district can compete with any district in the state Every school has a great coaching staff Irsquove been very impressed with the coaches in our district and of course the athletes we see week in and week out are amazingrdquo
ldquoNo I expected Shoemaker to give them fits the match up of Kendall Jones on Sachsersquos center was going play big in favor of Shoemakerrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAlso Shoemakerrsquos overall defensive speed and tenacity gave Sachse fits I donrsquot know for sure but Irsquom assuming Shoemakerrsquos defensive line and front seven was disruptive all night against Sachsersquos offensive linerdquo
ldquoShoemaker was not a surprise at allrdquo Morgan said ldquoHolding Sachse to zero offensive touchdowns was quite an accomplish-ment But the unit that Shoemaker is able to put on the field defensively will probably not be appreci-ated until all of those guys have graduated Midway performed about like I thought they would Aside from the early season loss-es they have been a very good team the last eight weeksrdquo
The Tigers had a great season despite a 5-6 record There were highlights and lowlights as every season has
ldquoThe two games at Killeen were exciting but I think the way our kids came out and played against Hendrickson and Stony Point was a highlight for the regular seasonrdquo Shipley said ldquoThose teams beat us badly last year and our kids showed that we are a different team this year I was also proud of the way we came out against Midway as well It was a far cry from last year when we were never in the gamerdquo
ldquoI thought our offense made great strides this yearrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAt times we were very explo-sive and put up good num-bers The offensive line played well all year Shack was a great leader and it was awesome to see the prog-ress of Jerrod (Jackson) Javon (Chambers) (Jacob) Dumas and Caleb Smith Jaylin Bryant You couldnrsquot have asked for a better 1-2 punch than DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) Those two had great seasons Peyton (Mansell) got better every game he was a real leader and battled every game The leadership and tenac-ity to win he showed was impressive The receiv-ers got better all year and Olajuwon (Taylor) step-ping up and making plays all year long was hugerdquo
ldquoThe 2015 Tigers were a great bunch to coachrdquo Morgan said ldquoThere were times we had it rolling in all three phases of the game and times when we were one or two first downs or one or two stops away from breaking close games
open With all of the offen-sive skill kids who had to be replaced from 2014 I was very proud of the way new guys developed and became such weapons offensively It all started and ended with the out-standing play of our offen-sive line and tight end I thought Zach Shackelford lead that group to being very good and new coach Jacob Hunter did an out-standing job as well Most disappointing was the early season struggles of our punt team and the impact it had on our Hendrickson Stony Point and Copperas Cove losses Kickers Roberto Barrios and Ryan Smith were very effective and improved dramatically from seasonrsquos start to endrdquo
Belton led in every game this season and five of the six losses came within the final minute (a total of 16 points in those five games) Things happen in foot-ball and this team could have finished with a 2-8 record and as good as 10-1 They set a school record for points in a season (452 in 11 games shattering the 1993 record of 425 in 1993 in 12 games)
ldquoWe had a lot of tough breaks this yearrdquo Shipley added ldquoI think the clock malfunctioning at Hendrickson had an effect on the outcome of the game Hendrickson scored two touchdowns in the sec-ond quarter that Irsquom not sure they would have had time to score if the clock was working properly I really feel that the Stony Point game came down to the fourth-down spot at the end of the game That sounds like an excuse but if you were at the game you know exactly what Irsquom
talking about The kids cer-tainly played well enough to win The Shoemaker game could have gone either way as could the Cove game Irsquove had seasons where the ball bounced our way and we got some breaks but unfortunately this wasnrsquot one of themrdquo
Defensively the team may have struggled and gave up yardage and points But the solid play of defensive line lineback-ers and secondary was there John Harvey Chris Jones Carlton Shanks III Brandon Gangloff Garrison Vaughn CJ Jones DJ Fisher Cody Garrett Reagan Chapman and a host of other defensive players played well against a schedule of solid teams
ldquoWinning is difficult in 6A football regardless of what team you are a part ofrdquo Morgan said ldquoI think the biggest thing moving forward is our guys have to understand the impor-tance of every play in the outcome of a close ball-game There can never be a letdown or lapse in focus in a tight ball game On the bright side the 2015 Tigers never quit and put themselves in situations to win every ball game they played this year
As is the case every sea-son teams lose a good number of seniors to grad-uation The 2016 Belton seniors have meant a great deal to the Belton Tigers football tradition
ldquoTheyrsquove put a lot into this thingrdquo Shipley said ldquoThey bought in and worked their tails off Not many teams across the state have over 100 kids that show up at 545 every morning to work out and our seniors led the wayrdquo

It was a crazy opening night to the 2015 Texas UIL Class 6A-Region I Bi-District Playoffs at Homer B Johnson Stadium in Garland Friday night as the Belton Tigers traveled to take on the Rowlett Eagles
From the opening kick-off to the final whistle the game was track meet of epic proportions In the end the Tigers were unable to stop the Eagles
late and were stopped on a last-ditch effort inside the final minute Rowlett advanced to the area round against Dallas Skyline with a 65-64 win over Belton
The Tigers ended their season 5-6
Belton took the open-ing kickoff and performed some trickeration as Davion Peoples pitched the ball to Olajuwon Taylor after receiving the ball Taylor went 40 yards to start the Tigers on their own 40-yard line Peoples
ran the first play from scrimmage for 15 yards and the third play for 17 yards The plays set up a field goal of 37 yards from Roberto Barrios to give the Tigers a 3-0 lead with 1006 to play in the first quarter
Rowlett answered the score with a touch-down of 26 yards from Logan Bonner to LaDarius Pickens Alvin Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 7-3 lead with 722 to play in the opening stanza
Carlton Shanks III took a pooch kick by the Eagles 57 yards to the Rowlett 8 to set up Peoplesrsquo eight-yard run on the next play A bad snap caused holder Anthony Mirabel to pull in the ball and break for the right pylon Mirabel appeared to have made it to the inside of the pylon by the replay but the ref-eree claimed he went out of bounds and called the conversion attempt no good Belton led 9-7 lead with 702 to go in the first quarter
One of the Rowlett returners was rocked by a hit and fumbled but one of the Eagles recovered the ball on the Rowlett 33 Bonner connected with Quinton Stinson for a 63-yard pass comple-tion down to the Belton 2 Bonner snuck the ball into the end zone on the next play Chris Luplowrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 14-9 lead with 641 to go in the quarter
Belton took the next possession down to the Rowlett 45 but turned
the ball over on downs when Peoples was stopped at the Rowlett 44 on fourth down and three The Eagles took the ball and drove it down to the Belton 7 Great defen-sive plays by Garrison Vaughn Bryan Thomas and John Harvey kept the ball out of the end zone forcing the Eagles to settle for a Kenworthy 23-yard field goal Rowlett led 17-9 with 227 left in the first period

Payton Mansell found Weston Lucas for a nice 27-yard comple-tion into Rowlett terri-tory to highlight the next scoring drive The duo hooked up for a 25-yard touchdown strike and Barrios hit the point-after to draw the Tigers to within a point 17-16 with 37 seconds remain-ing in the quarter
Rowlett hit pay turf the first play into the second quarter follow-ing a Bonner to Josh Lewis 37-yard comple-tion Dickensrsquo 7-yard touchdown run gave to the Eagles a 23-16 lead Kenworthyrsquos point-after kick glanced off the right upright

Belton took the ball at their own 36-yard line and tried to answer the score On third down and five on the Belton 46 Mansell threw an incompletion to Taylor However five yards in front of Taylor Logan Collins was grabbed by Jakel Davis and was held trying to come back for the ball The officials did not deem it a penalty and Belton was forced to punt
Kobe Morrowrsquos 51-yard run set up Rowlettrsquos next score Bonner had 13 yards of completions and Morrowrsquos plunge in from a yard out put six more points up for the Eagles
Luplowrsquos extra-point made the score 37-23 with 42 seconds to go in the half
Belton unfazed from the drive got a bril-liant pass completion from Mansell to Collins that was tipped for a 46-yard completion to the Rowlett 16 After a Belton timeout the Tigers continued to drive the ball down to the goal line With one second remaining in the half Mansell found Taylor for a 3-yard touchdown pass Barriosrsquo extra-point made the score 37-30 at halftime
Belton got a defen-sive stand to start the third quarter as Shanks Vaughn and Chris Jones made three stops in a row on Bonner and forced Rowlett to punt
The Tigers got the ball at midfield to start their first second-half posses-sion Mansellrsquos 30-yard run set the table for his own 1-yard touchdown run to cap off the 8-play 50-yard drive Barriosrsquo extra-point tied the score at 37-37
On the next play from scrimmage Morrow took a delayed hand off waited for a hole to open burst through it and dashed 74 yards for a Rowlett score Luplowrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett a 44-37 lead with 813 to
go in the third quarterAnother good return
by Shanks gave the Tigers good starting field position this time on the Belton 40 Mansell dissected the Rowlett secondary with passes to Mirabel and Taylor for 27 combined yards Mansellrsquos strike to Taylor from six yards away and Barriosrsquo extra-point tied the score at 44-44 with 510 to go in the third quarter On the point-after Rowlett was flagged for an unsportsmanlike conduct foul moving the Tigers up to mid-field to kick off Belton
recovered the onside kick at the Rowlett 33 and started back to workFollowing a three-yard pass from Mansell to Bubba Marshall Peoples burst around end and raced 30 yards to give the Tigers the lead 50-44 Barriosrsquo extra-point try sailed wide left keeping the Tigers in the lead by six
Bonnerrsquos pass to Lewis for 10 yards set up a 53-yard option pitch run by Morrow down to the Belton 3 Kofi McDonald and Brandon Gangloff made huge stops to force third down Morrow pounded the ball into the end zone and Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave the Eagles a one-point lead with 129 to
play in the third quarter 51-50
After a short kickoff by Rowlett Demeatric Brandon busted off a 49-yard run down the sidelines to the Rowlett 15 Peoplesrsquo ran the ball in for a touchdown on the next play to give Belton to lead once again The Tigers lined up for a two-point conversion and Rowlett called time-out right before the play Belton trotted the point-after team back on and tried for an extra point which sailed wide right The Tigers led 56-51 with 56 seconds left in
the third quarterAfter a great special
teams play by Harvey the Eagles started their next drive at their own 28-yard line Rowlett drove the ball down to the Belton 41 and were forced into a fourth and two situation Bonner dropped back to pass and Vaughn stepped in front of the receiver at the Belton 2 and intercepted the ball with 950 left on the fourth quarter clock
Peoples always up for big-game plays busted off one of the biggest runs in recent Tiger his-tory He took the hand off Mansell made three jukes broke into the open and raced 98 yards for an electrifying Tiger score The two-point
conversion was good and the Tiger fans cheered on the effort as Belton led by 13 points 64-51 with 933 to play
Rowlett answered the call again putting together a 64-yard drive capped by a 24-yard pass from Bonner to Morrow Luplowrsquos extra-point made the score 64-58 with 714 to go
Belton got the ball back at their own 18-yard line and ended up in a third and six situation at their own 22-yard line Mansell scrambled towards the Rowlett sidelines looking for an open man He ended up out of bounds on a hard hit and was down for a couple of moments Belton had to send out backup punter Lutz to kick the ball away on fourth down The ball went off the side of his foot and Rowlett ended up with great field posi-tion at the Belton 41
Shanks and Jones made two good defensive stops on the first two plays of Rowlettrsquos next drive Bonner found Dickens for a 11-yard comple-tion for a first down and put the Eagles in striking distance again On third down and two on the Belton 8 Bonner scrambled around the right side and got the benefit of a hold from Rowlettrsquos right tackle in front of the referee as he went in for the score Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett the lead 65-64 with 233 to play in the game
Belton started to move the ball down the field on their final drive Peoples had two rushes for eight yards and Brandon bust-ed off a 12-yard run On second down and 10 at the Rowlett 30 the Tigers drew a critical holding call which set them back 10 yards On the next play Mansell threw the ball towards Taylor who was being held for 10 yards by the jersey by the safety The pass was incomplete and no call was made On third down and 20 at the Rowlett 40 Mansell
found Taylor open for a split second over the middle and threw a pass high towards him Taylor was grabbed as he attempted to make the catch and could not make the catch The back judge deemed the ball uncatch-able though Taylorrsquos fingertips appeared to touch the ball On fourth down Mansell scram-bled to find to open man and ran across the field and let a pass go that was short of the target The Tigers had to turn it over on downs with 43 seconds left Rowlett knelt the ball twice and ended the Tigersrsquo season in heartbreaking fashion
It was a bittersweet pill for the Tigers to take as they were turnover-free in the game and had a 13-point lead with 933 to play
ldquoIrsquom proud of the teamrdquo Belton head coach Bob Shipley said ldquoThey just fought and fought the entire game Either team deserved to win Both teams deserved to win Only one could win Yoursquore up 64-51 in the fourth quarter and we just had a tough time stopped them all night They had a really good scheme and really good offense We made some good stops and made the onside kick We were going to run the onside kick whether we got that 15-yard penalty or not There are a lot of situ-ations during the game that could have been the difference in the game The situation I was most disappointed in was that we couldnrsquot get a first down after they scored (with Belton leading 64-58) We shanked the punt and they scored We couldnrsquot get it donerdquo
Despite coming up a point short at the end Shipley was proud of the Tigersrsquo efforts
ldquoI really wanted them to hold up the gold foot-ball and win for our seniors a championship of some sortrdquo Shipley said ldquoBut it didnrsquot hap-pen I know that they laid the foundation to build on for next yearrdquo

Belton held Travis to one field goal in the first
quarter although neither team hit the scoreboard until Kiron Griffin Jr hit a put back in the paint at the 511 match and Izaiah Jones had a put back 20 seconds later to put Belton up 4-0
After a Travis field goal Jones Ruben Freeman and Dontori Lott helped the Tigers mount a 9-3 closing run to give Belton a 13-5 lead at the end of the first quarter

It is the biggest Belton margin of victory in sev-eral years President saw great things from his young team during the ball game
ldquoThe energy level was high and everybody came out ready to playrdquo President said ldquoI bragged on a couple of guys ear-lier today and they came out a little slow When we went to our bench we had great energyrdquo
Five Tigers scored in double-figures with
Jones leading the team with 15 points (10 in a row in the third quarter) Lott scored 14 Griffin posted 12 Hammond scored 11 and Freeman scored 10 Seven Tigers scored in all
Beltonrsquos two leading scorers from a year ago Jackson McGowan and Jordan Russell didnrsquot score But they posted several rebounds assists and steals in a solid defensive effort

Tigers Football sub-varsity teams successful in 2015
LOICONTINUED FROM C1
By Tony AdamsSports Editor
Much in the way of the past two seasons the Belton Tigersrsquo sub-varsity experienced great success in the 2015 season
The five sub-varsity teams went a combined 34-10-1 outscoring teams 1178-541
Thatrsquos an average score of 26-12 A two-touch-down differential com-bined up and down the ranks is an impressive one
The crown jewel in the season was the Belton JV Red team finishing with a perfect 10-0 record Outscoring teams 389-88 the nearest team came to within just 16 points of the Tigers
ldquoThis was a real-ly good group to work withrdquo Belton coach Mike Morgan said ldquoOne of the big selling points to the kids was that they had a tremendous opportunity to go out and compete each week As the season progressed and the team kept winning we talked about the opportunity to be perfect as a team There is never a perfect
play in a game and never a perfect game it is not possible But a team has the opportunity to have a perfect season and that is what the JV Red was able to accomplish They are a very unselfish group of players and they bought in that if they played extremely hard and did their job then they would have a great chance to be successfulrdquo
The Belton JV White team finished 6-2 against tough competition as well outscoring the oppo-sition 181-112 Though games against Stony Point (weather) and Ellison (JV teams merged) were cancelled coach Jason Moffett and his staff worked hard with their players to guide them towards success
ldquoWe try to find ways to really make the White Team importantrdquo Moffett said ldquoWe try not to allow our guys to think of themselves as ldquoBrdquo Team players We want to win ball games and be district champs no matter what the level We spend a lot of time coaching these guys I think a lot more than some other teams in
our area I saw improve-ment defensively over the course of the year in terms of alignment assignment and tacklingrdquo
The Belton Freshman Red team finished 7-3 outscoring opponents 273-146 A few of the freshmen were called up to junior varsity through-out the season
ldquoFreshmen improved from the start of camp all the way until the last game of the yearrdquo Belton coach Al Maxwell said ldquoThe improvement was most evident in the physi-cal condition and most importantly the mental toughness of the team as a wholerdquo
The Freshman White team was two points from a perfect season in their own rights (a late-season loss to Midway 29-27) having gone 9-1 in 2015 outscoring opponents 269-94
The Freshman Gray team played just a 7-game schedule and finished 2-4-1 having been out-scored 101-66 Most of the players were brought up to Freshman Red and Freshman White at the completion of the sched-
uleldquoThe guys achieved
good things this foot-ball season by winning 18 games and compet-ing with three teamsrdquo Maxwell said ldquoThe guysrsquo mental toughness was on display each game and showed when games became tough and crowds were hostile The guys did very this season and will look to win a district championship next sea-sonrdquo
The key to the success of the Tigers sub-varsity programs is the work that the players put in and the coaching staff and how they coach It is a uni-formed system up and down the ranks
ldquoWe spend a lot of time as coaches with our sub-varsity teamsrdquo Belton head football coach Bob Shipley said ldquoI canrsquot imagine any sub-varsi-ty teams in our district who get more individual coaching from varsity coaches than our kids do The JV kids have to be scout team players of course but we spend a lot of time with them out-side of varsity practice They are well-prepared
every week If you want to change a culture and have kids expecting to win you have to invest a lot of time in them before they are varsity players Our kids are learning how to win for sure Irsquove had kids tell me several times that they never won more than a game or two in middle school and they love win-ning in high school That lets us know that itrsquos all worth itrdquo
The talent is so abun-dant in the Belton sub-varsity system that the varsity team is able to bring up players to add to their depth and keep the junior varsity and fresh-man teams very competi-tive Although there are too many potential names to name players to watch in particular over the next season or two or three Shipley believes that the
10th grade season for a football player is one of the most critical seasons
ldquoThere are several JV players we expect to start for us next yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoIt should be that way every year We only had 2 sophomore players on varsity the majority of the season I think 10th grade is a critical time for players They need to be playing as much as pos-sible If theyrsquore going to be on varsity as sophomores they need to be starting because theyrsquore not get-ting any better standing on the sidelines They need to be getting every snap on Thursday nights so they can continue to develop as players and improverdquo
Congratulations to all five teams on a successful 2015 season

UMHB will open the postseason on the road with a First Round rematch with American Southwest Conference rival Hardin-Simmons University That game will kick off at 1200 PM at Shelton Stadium in Abilene The game will be broadcast on K1017 FM with the pre-game show starting at 1130 AM on Saturday
Both teams will advance to the postsea-son as at-large selections with 9-1 over records and 4-1 marks in ASC play Hardin-Simmons won the regular season meeting between the two teams 29-26 three weeks ago in Abilene snapping UMHBrsquos 61-game regular sea-son winning streak and 39-game ASC win streak in the process Ryan Breton had 284 yards passing 223 of those to the speedy Jessie Ramos Kerry Sloan had 108 yards on 25 carries for the Cowboys
Zach Anderson and Blake Jackson went a combined 14-of-25 passing for 172 yards Malcolm Miller had 113 yards rushing on 23 carries and Duane Thompson added 49 yards on 13 carries
The two teams will be meeting for the fourth time in the postseason and the 22nd time over-all The Cru has won each of the previous three postseason meet-ings between these two programs and holds a 15-6 all-time edge in the series
ldquoIt feels awesome to be selected and we really did have to sweat it out this seasonrdquo Cru head coach Pete Fredenburg said ldquoIt makes you real-ize what a fragile exis-tence you have in the playoffs and I feel an obligation to make sure we do everything we can to make the most of this opportunity I think the playersrsquo reaction shows that they are excited to be back in the playoffs and we hope that the excitement carries on into our practice and preparation for a big ball game next week-endrdquo
Anderson crossed the 2000-yard passing mark against East Texas Baptist He is 125-of-204 for 2041 yards 19 touchdowns against just four interceptions He also has 247 yards rushing and seven touchdowns Jackson is inserted into the ball-game in certain pack-ages and his numbers are good going 34-of-67 passing for 451 yards six touchdowns against two interceptions while running for 263 yards
and three touchdownsThe ldquorunning back
by committeerdquo pro-cess has worked for the Crusaders in 2015 While the Cru has run for 2593 yards in 10 games this season there are just two running backs over 500 yards Miller with 563 yards on 111 carries with 12 scores and Thompson with 538 yards on 98 totes and six touchdowns Michael Carpenter (48-275 3 TDs) Jackson Anderson Sterling Scott (16-180 3 TDs) and third-string quarterback Zane Boles (20-134 2 TDs) are all over 100 yards rushing for the season
Wykeyhe Walker (42 receptions 778 yards 11 TDs) is UMHBrsquos leading receiver Marcus Wimby (33-540 2 TDs) DeNerian Thomas (30-344 5 TDs) Justin Brumfield (18-189 TD) and Robbie Seybold (10-210) are all viable options are wide receiv-er and tight end for Anderson and Jackson
Breton (108-of-162 1744 yards 20 TDs 3 INT) and Weston Garner (70-of-91 1048 yards 9 TDs 2 INT) navigate the Cowboysrsquo offense with Sloan (164-789 9 TD) getting the bulk of the carries
Ramos gets the major-ity of the looks at wide receiver (75 catches for 1443 yards 16 TDs 192 yards-per-catch) and is dangerous as a punt and kick returner He has 330 yards on 17 punt returns and two touchdowns to go with four kick returns for 130 yards and a touchdown
UMHBrsquos defense is one of the best in the
country with 19 inter-ceptions 49 sacks 122 tackles for 507 yards lost nine forced fum-bles and 11 recovered fumbles Trey Thedford leads the defense with 83 tackles Teidrick Smith has 47 tackles includ-ing a team-leading 21 tackles for 116 yards lost and a team-leading 14 sacks Jon Isom has 165 tackles for loss and is second on the team in sacks with 11 Baylor Mullins Raylon Hickey and Reggie Wilson each have four interceptions

By Tony AdamsSports Editor
Last Friday nightrsquos bi-dis-trict playoff game between the Belton Tigers and the Rowlett Eagles was loaded with ups and downs There were so many great perfor-mances including Davion Peoples scoring rushing touchdowns on three con-secutive scores including his school record-breaking 98-yard run on his way to a 200-plus yard rushing night and Peyton Mansellrsquos ability to navigate the Tigers up and down the field
ldquoObviously we did some good things offensivelyrdquo Belton head coach Bob Shipley said ldquoWe didnrsquot turn the ball over which we knew would be key The offensive line did a good job most of the night and of course we had some receivers come up with some big plays I thought Peyton (Mansell) played really well especially for his first playoff gamerdquo
ldquoOffensively our kids did a great job execut-ing the game plan we preached all week that we couldnrsquot have that lull on offense that we have had from time to timerdquo Belton offensive coordinator Sam Skidmore said ldquoThe offen-sive line controlled the line of scrimmage DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) did a great job seeing the holes running well and blocking Peyton did it through the air and on the ground and really stepped up and led the entire receiving corps did a great job I think almost everyone had a catch and did a great job blocking as wellrdquo
As heartbreaking as the
loss was it was the high mark for points scored in a game this season and set a school record for points in a season with 452 There was absolutely no quit in the 48 minutes
ldquoDefensively it was just a long nightrdquo Shipley said ldquoWe made a couple of stops but didnrsquot in the fourth quarter when we had too They were very athletic and had a great quarterback I thought our kids fought so hard and Irsquom proud of them for that My only disappointment offensively were penalties that hurt our field position and the inability to get first downs when we had the lead in the fourth quarterrdquo
ldquoVery impressed with the resiliency our kids showedrdquo Belton special teams coach Mike Morgan said ldquoIt was a very emotional game and our kids kept responding over and over againrdquo
Ramonce Taylor was on the sidelines for the last couple of games and has been very encouraging towards the team He was so happy for Peoples when he broke his school record for the longest run
ldquoRamonce has been to several games this yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoItrsquos always great to see him and have him giving our kids point-ers I donrsquot think anyone would argue that he has to be one of the greatest athletes to ever represent Belton High School Hersquos back in school and wants to be a coach After seeing the way our kids respond to him I think hersquod be a great onerdquo
ldquoWe were very glad to have Ramonce on the side-linerdquo Skidmore said ldquoThe kids can relate and he was encouraging the kids being
involved and I know our kids enjoyed him being aroundrdquo
When discussing with the coaches the bi-district playoff game outcomes the 10-7 Shoemaker win over Sachse was a surprise to many in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex But to the Belton staff it wasnrsquot
ldquoI knew Shoemaker had a good defense but I was a little surprised by the scorerdquo Shipley said ldquoSachse has playmakers all over the field I think it shows people that our district can compete with any district in the state Every school has a great coaching staff Irsquove been very impressed with the coaches in our district and of course the athletes we see week in and week out are amazingrdquo
ldquoNo I expected Shoemaker to give them fits the match up of Kendall Jones on Sachsersquos center was going play big in favor of Shoemakerrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAlso Shoemakerrsquos overall defensive speed and tenacity gave Sachse fits I donrsquot know for sure but Irsquom assuming Shoemakerrsquos defensive line and front seven was disruptive all night against Sachsersquos offensive linerdquo
ldquoShoemaker was not a surprise at allrdquo Morgan said ldquoHolding Sachse to zero offensive touchdowns was quite an accomplish-ment But the unit that Shoemaker is able to put on the field defensively will probably not be appreci-ated until all of those guys have graduated Midway performed about like I thought they would Aside from the early season loss-es they have been a very good team the last eight weeksrdquo
The Tigers had a great season despite a 5-6 record There were highlights and lowlights as every season has
ldquoThe two games at Killeen were exciting but I think the way our kids came out and played against Hendrickson and Stony Point was a highlight for the regular seasonrdquo Shipley said ldquoThose teams beat us badly last year and our kids showed that we are a different team this year I was also proud of the way we came out against Midway as well It was a far cry from last year when we were never in the gamerdquo
ldquoI thought our offense made great strides this yearrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAt times we were very explo-sive and put up good num-bers The offensive line played well all year Shack was a great leader and it was awesome to see the prog-ress of Jerrod (Jackson) Javon (Chambers) (Jacob) Dumas and Caleb Smith Jaylin Bryant You couldnrsquot have asked for a better 1-2 punch than DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) Those two had great seasons Peyton (Mansell) got better every game he was a real leader and battled every game The leadership and tenac-ity to win he showed was impressive The receiv-ers got better all year and Olajuwon (Taylor) step-ping up and making plays all year long was hugerdquo
ldquoThe 2015 Tigers were a great bunch to coachrdquo Morgan said ldquoThere were times we had it rolling in all three phases of the game and times when we were one or two first downs or one or two stops away from breaking close games
open With all of the offen-sive skill kids who had to be replaced from 2014 I was very proud of the way new guys developed and became such weapons offensively It all started and ended with the out-standing play of our offen-sive line and tight end I thought Zach Shackelford lead that group to being very good and new coach Jacob Hunter did an out-standing job as well Most disappointing was the early season struggles of our punt team and the impact it had on our Hendrickson Stony Point and Copperas Cove losses Kickers Roberto Barrios and Ryan Smith were very effective and improved dramatically from seasonrsquos start to endrdquo
Belton led in every game this season and five of the six losses came within the final minute (a total of 16 points in those five games) Things happen in foot-ball and this team could have finished with a 2-8 record and as good as 10-1 They set a school record for points in a season (452 in 11 games shattering the 1993 record of 425 in 1993 in 12 games)
ldquoWe had a lot of tough breaks this yearrdquo Shipley added ldquoI think the clock malfunctioning at Hendrickson had an effect on the outcome of the game Hendrickson scored two touchdowns in the sec-ond quarter that Irsquom not sure they would have had time to score if the clock was working properly I really feel that the Stony Point game came down to the fourth-down spot at the end of the game That sounds like an excuse but if you were at the game you know exactly what Irsquom
talking about The kids cer-tainly played well enough to win The Shoemaker game could have gone either way as could the Cove game Irsquove had seasons where the ball bounced our way and we got some breaks but unfortunately this wasnrsquot one of themrdquo
Defensively the team may have struggled and gave up yardage and points But the solid play of defensive line lineback-ers and secondary was there John Harvey Chris Jones Carlton Shanks III Brandon Gangloff Garrison Vaughn CJ Jones DJ Fisher Cody Garrett Reagan Chapman and a host of other defensive players played well against a schedule of solid teams
ldquoWinning is difficult in 6A football regardless of what team you are a part ofrdquo Morgan said ldquoI think the biggest thing moving forward is our guys have to understand the impor-tance of every play in the outcome of a close ball-game There can never be a letdown or lapse in focus in a tight ball game On the bright side the 2015 Tigers never quit and put themselves in situations to win every ball game they played this year
As is the case every sea-son teams lose a good number of seniors to grad-uation The 2016 Belton seniors have meant a great deal to the Belton Tigers football tradition
ldquoTheyrsquove put a lot into this thingrdquo Shipley said ldquoThey bought in and worked their tails off Not many teams across the state have over 100 kids that show up at 545 every morning to work out and our seniors led the wayrdquo

Belton got the ball back at their own 18-yard line and ended up in a third and six situation at their own 22-yard line Mansell scrambled towards the Rowlett sidelines looking for an open man He ended up out of bounds on a hard hit and was down for a couple of moments Belton had to send out backup punter Lutz to kick the ball away on fourth down The ball went off the side of his foot and Rowlett ended up with great field posi-tion at the Belton 41
Shanks and Jones made two good defensive stops on the first two plays of Rowlettrsquos next drive Bonner found Dickens for a 11-yard comple-tion for a first down and put the Eagles in striking distance again On third down and two on the Belton 8 Bonner scrambled around the right side and got the benefit of a hold from Rowlettrsquos right tackle in front of the referee as he went in for the score Kenworthyrsquos extra-point gave Rowlett the lead 65-64 with 233 to play in the game
Belton started to move the ball down the field on their final drive Peoples had two rushes for eight yards and Brandon bust-ed off a 12-yard run On second down and 10 at the Rowlett 30 the Tigers drew a critical holding call which set them back 10 yards On the next play Mansell threw the ball towards Taylor who was being held for 10 yards by the jersey by the safety The pass was incomplete and no call was made On third down and 20 at the Rowlett 40 Mansell
found Taylor open for a split second over the middle and threw a pass high towards him Taylor was grabbed as he attempted to make the catch and could not make the catch The back judge deemed the ball uncatch-able though Taylorrsquos fingertips appeared to touch the ball On fourth down Mansell scram-bled to find to open man and ran across the field and let a pass go that was short of the target The Tigers had to turn it over on downs with 43 seconds left Rowlett knelt the ball twice and ended the Tigersrsquo season in heartbreaking fashion
It was a bittersweet pill for the Tigers to take as they were turnover-free in the game and had a 13-point lead with 933 to play
ldquoIrsquom proud of the teamrdquo Belton head coach Bob Shipley said ldquoThey just fought and fought the entire game Either team deserved to win Both teams deserved to win Only one could win Yoursquore up 64-51 in the fourth quarter and we just had a tough time stopped them all night They had a really good scheme and really good offense We made some good stops and made the onside kick We were going to run the onside kick whether we got that 15-yard penalty or not There are a lot of situ-ations during the game that could have been the difference in the game The situation I was most disappointed in was that we couldnrsquot get a first down after they scored (with Belton leading 64-58) We shanked the punt and they scored We couldnrsquot get it donerdquo
Despite coming up a point short at the end Shipley was proud of the Tigersrsquo efforts
ldquoI really wanted them to hold up the gold foot-ball and win for our seniors a championship of some sortrdquo Shipley said ldquoBut it didnrsquot hap-pen I know that they laid the foundation to build on for next yearrdquo

If the 32 minutes of basketball that the Belton Tigers opened up with on Monday night at Tiger Gym is a small taste of what fans will see out of this yearrsquos boysrsquo basketball team people may want to get in line for a big helping
Belton used a 29-7 third quarter and com-pounded it to a 17-point halftime lead en route to an 81-39 win over the Austin Travis Rebels
The Tigers are now 1-0 on the young season
Belton held Travis to one field goal in the first
quarter although neither team hit the scoreboard until Kiron Griffin Jr hit a put back in the paint at the 511 match and Izaiah Jones had a put back 20 seconds later to put Belton up 4-0
After a Travis field goal Jones Ruben Freeman and Dontori Lott helped the Tigers mount a 9-3 closing run to give Belton a 13-5 lead at the end of the first quarter

and got valuable in-game experience The Tigers outscored Travis in the fourth quarter 19-12 and Belton cruised to the 42-point win
It is the biggest Belton margin of victory in sev-eral years President saw great things from his young team during the ball game
ldquoThe energy level was high and everybody came out ready to playrdquo President said ldquoI bragged on a couple of guys ear-lier today and they came out a little slow When we went to our bench we had great energyrdquo
Five Tigers scored in double-figures with
Jones leading the team with 15 points (10 in a row in the third quarter) Lott scored 14 Griffin posted 12 Hammond scored 11 and Freeman scored 10 Seven Tigers scored in all
Beltonrsquos two leading scorers from a year ago Jackson McGowan and Jordan Russell didnrsquot score But they posted several rebounds assists and steals in a solid defensive effort
ldquoWe have to have strong production from our bench all season longrdquo President said ldquoOn different nights some guys are going to be on We expect that
But when we bring the energy every night thatrsquos big time for usrdquo
Belton will travel to Temple to take on the Wildcats Saturday after-noon at 5 pm The game was moved from 7 pm on Friday to Saturday afternoon due to Templersquos playoff game in Bryan
ldquoItrsquos a rivalry gamerdquo President said ldquoItrsquos a game that will have high emotion and a lot of energy in the building We just have to do what we do We canrsquot get out of what we do We need to execute and play within ourselvesrdquo

Tigers Football sub-varsity teams successful in 2015
LOICONTINUED FROM C1
By Tony AdamsSports Editor
Much in the way of the past two seasons the Belton Tigersrsquo sub-varsity experienced great success in the 2015 season
The five sub-varsity teams went a combined 34-10-1 outscoring teams 1178-541
Thatrsquos an average score of 26-12 A two-touch-down differential com-bined up and down the ranks is an impressive one
The crown jewel in the season was the Belton JV Red team finishing with a perfect 10-0 record Outscoring teams 389-88 the nearest team came to within just 16 points of the Tigers
ldquoThis was a real-ly good group to work withrdquo Belton coach Mike Morgan said ldquoOne of the big selling points to the kids was that they had a tremendous opportunity to go out and compete each week As the season progressed and the team kept winning we talked about the opportunity to be perfect as a team There is never a perfect
play in a game and never a perfect game it is not possible But a team has the opportunity to have a perfect season and that is what the JV Red was able to accomplish They are a very unselfish group of players and they bought in that if they played extremely hard and did their job then they would have a great chance to be successfulrdquo
The Belton JV White team finished 6-2 against tough competition as well outscoring the oppo-sition 181-112 Though games against Stony Point (weather) and Ellison (JV teams merged) were cancelled coach Jason Moffett and his staff worked hard with their players to guide them towards success
ldquoWe try to find ways to really make the White Team importantrdquo Moffett said ldquoWe try not to allow our guys to think of themselves as ldquoBrdquo Team players We want to win ball games and be district champs no matter what the level We spend a lot of time coaching these guys I think a lot more than some other teams in
our area I saw improve-ment defensively over the course of the year in terms of alignment assignment and tacklingrdquo
The Belton Freshman Red team finished 7-3 outscoring opponents 273-146 A few of the freshmen were called up to junior varsity through-out the season
ldquoFreshmen improved from the start of camp all the way until the last game of the yearrdquo Belton coach Al Maxwell said ldquoThe improvement was most evident in the physi-cal condition and most importantly the mental toughness of the team as a wholerdquo
The Freshman White team was two points from a perfect season in their own rights (a late-season loss to Midway 29-27) having gone 9-1 in 2015 outscoring opponents 269-94
The Freshman Gray team played just a 7-game schedule and finished 2-4-1 having been out-scored 101-66 Most of the players were brought up to Freshman Red and Freshman White at the completion of the sched-
uleldquoThe guys achieved
good things this foot-ball season by winning 18 games and compet-ing with three teamsrdquo Maxwell said ldquoThe guysrsquo mental toughness was on display each game and showed when games became tough and crowds were hostile The guys did very this season and will look to win a district championship next sea-sonrdquo
The key to the success of the Tigers sub-varsity programs is the work that the players put in and the coaching staff and how they coach It is a uni-formed system up and down the ranks
ldquoWe spend a lot of time as coaches with our sub-varsity teamsrdquo Belton head football coach Bob Shipley said ldquoI canrsquot imagine any sub-varsi-ty teams in our district who get more individual coaching from varsity coaches than our kids do The JV kids have to be scout team players of course but we spend a lot of time with them out-side of varsity practice They are well-prepared
every week If you want to change a culture and have kids expecting to win you have to invest a lot of time in them before they are varsity players Our kids are learning how to win for sure Irsquove had kids tell me several times that they never won more than a game or two in middle school and they love win-ning in high school That lets us know that itrsquos all worth itrdquo
The talent is so abun-dant in the Belton sub-varsity system that the varsity team is able to bring up players to add to their depth and keep the junior varsity and fresh-man teams very competi-tive Although there are too many potential names to name players to watch in particular over the next season or two or three Shipley believes that the
10th grade season for a football player is one of the most critical seasons
ldquoThere are several JV players we expect to start for us next yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoIt should be that way every year We only had 2 sophomore players on varsity the majority of the season I think 10th grade is a critical time for players They need to be playing as much as pos-sible If theyrsquore going to be on varsity as sophomores they need to be starting because theyrsquore not get-ting any better standing on the sidelines They need to be getting every snap on Thursday nights so they can continue to develop as players and improverdquo
Congratulations to all five teams on a successful 2015 season

The two teams will be meeting for the fourth time in the postseason and the 22nd time over-all The Cru has won each of the previous three postseason meet-ings between these two programs and holds a 15-6 all-time edge in the series
ldquoIt feels awesome to be selected and we really did have to sweat it out this seasonrdquo Cru head coach Pete Fredenburg said ldquoIt makes you real-ize what a fragile exis-tence you have in the playoffs and I feel an obligation to make sure we do everything we can to make the most of this opportunity I think the playersrsquo reaction shows that they are excited to be back in the playoffs and we hope that the excitement carries on into our practice and preparation for a big ball game next week-endrdquo
Anderson crossed the 2000-yard passing mark against East Texas Baptist He is 125-of-204 for 2041 yards 19 touchdowns against just four interceptions He also has 247 yards rushing and seven touchdowns Jackson is inserted into the ball-game in certain pack-ages and his numbers are good going 34-of-67 passing for 451 yards six touchdowns against two interceptions while running for 263 yards

Breton (108-of-162 1744 yards 20 TDs 3 INT) and Weston Garner (70-of-91 1048 yards 9 TDs 2 INT) navigate the Cowboysrsquo offense with Sloan (164-789 9 TD) getting the bulk of the carries
Ramos gets the major-ity of the looks at wide receiver (75 catches for 1443 yards 16 TDs 192 yards-per-catch) and is dangerous as a punt and kick returner He has 330 yards on 17 punt returns and two touchdowns to go with four kick returns for 130 yards and a touchdown

By Tony AdamsSports Editor
Last Friday nightrsquos bi-dis-trict playoff game between the Belton Tigers and the Rowlett Eagles was loaded with ups and downs There were so many great perfor-mances including Davion Peoples scoring rushing touchdowns on three con-secutive scores including his school record-breaking 98-yard run on his way to a 200-plus yard rushing night and Peyton Mansellrsquos ability to navigate the Tigers up and down the field
ldquoObviously we did some good things offensivelyrdquo Belton head coach Bob Shipley said ldquoWe didnrsquot turn the ball over which we knew would be key The offensive line did a good job most of the night and of course we had some receivers come up with some big plays I thought Peyton (Mansell) played really well especially for his first playoff gamerdquo
ldquoOffensively our kids did a great job execut-ing the game plan we preached all week that we couldnrsquot have that lull on offense that we have had from time to timerdquo Belton offensive coordinator Sam Skidmore said ldquoThe offen-sive line controlled the line of scrimmage DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) did a great job seeing the holes running well and blocking Peyton did it through the air and on the ground and really stepped up and led the entire receiving corps did a great job I think almost everyone had a catch and did a great job blocking as wellrdquo
As heartbreaking as the
loss was it was the high mark for points scored in a game this season and set a school record for points in a season with 452 There was absolutely no quit in the 48 minutes
ldquoDefensively it was just a long nightrdquo Shipley said ldquoWe made a couple of stops but didnrsquot in the fourth quarter when we had too They were very athletic and had a great quarterback I thought our kids fought so hard and Irsquom proud of them for that My only disappointment offensively were penalties that hurt our field position and the inability to get first downs when we had the lead in the fourth quarterrdquo
ldquoVery impressed with the resiliency our kids showedrdquo Belton special teams coach Mike Morgan said ldquoIt was a very emotional game and our kids kept responding over and over againrdquo
Ramonce Taylor was on the sidelines for the last couple of games and has been very encouraging towards the team He was so happy for Peoples when he broke his school record for the longest run
ldquoRamonce has been to several games this yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoItrsquos always great to see him and have him giving our kids point-ers I donrsquot think anyone would argue that he has to be one of the greatest athletes to ever represent Belton High School Hersquos back in school and wants to be a coach After seeing the way our kids respond to him I think hersquod be a great onerdquo
ldquoWe were very glad to have Ramonce on the side-linerdquo Skidmore said ldquoThe kids can relate and he was encouraging the kids being
involved and I know our kids enjoyed him being aroundrdquo
When discussing with the coaches the bi-district playoff game outcomes the 10-7 Shoemaker win over Sachse was a surprise to many in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex But to the Belton staff it wasnrsquot
ldquoI knew Shoemaker had a good defense but I was a little surprised by the scorerdquo Shipley said ldquoSachse has playmakers all over the field I think it shows people that our district can compete with any district in the state Every school has a great coaching staff Irsquove been very impressed with the coaches in our district and of course the athletes we see week in and week out are amazingrdquo
ldquoNo I expected Shoemaker to give them fits the match up of Kendall Jones on Sachsersquos center was going play big in favor of Shoemakerrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAlso Shoemakerrsquos overall defensive speed and tenacity gave Sachse fits I donrsquot know for sure but Irsquom assuming Shoemakerrsquos defensive line and front seven was disruptive all night against Sachsersquos offensive linerdquo
ldquoShoemaker was not a surprise at allrdquo Morgan said ldquoHolding Sachse to zero offensive touchdowns was quite an accomplish-ment But the unit that Shoemaker is able to put on the field defensively will probably not be appreci-ated until all of those guys have graduated Midway performed about like I thought they would Aside from the early season loss-es they have been a very good team the last eight weeksrdquo
The Tigers had a great season despite a 5-6 record There were highlights and lowlights as every season has
ldquoThe two games at Killeen were exciting but I think the way our kids came out and played against Hendrickson and Stony Point was a highlight for the regular seasonrdquo Shipley said ldquoThose teams beat us badly last year and our kids showed that we are a different team this year I was also proud of the way we came out against Midway as well It was a far cry from last year when we were never in the gamerdquo
ldquoI thought our offense made great strides this yearrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAt times we were very explo-sive and put up good num-bers The offensive line played well all year Shack was a great leader and it was awesome to see the prog-ress of Jerrod (Jackson) Javon (Chambers) (Jacob) Dumas and Caleb Smith Jaylin Bryant You couldnrsquot have asked for a better 1-2 punch than DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) Those two had great seasons Peyton (Mansell) got better every game he was a real leader and battled every game The leadership and tenac-ity to win he showed was impressive The receiv-ers got better all year and Olajuwon (Taylor) step-ping up and making plays all year long was hugerdquo
ldquoThe 2015 Tigers were a great bunch to coachrdquo Morgan said ldquoThere were times we had it rolling in all three phases of the game and times when we were one or two first downs or one or two stops away from breaking close games
open With all of the offen-sive skill kids who had to be replaced from 2014 I was very proud of the way new guys developed and became such weapons offensively It all started and ended with the out-standing play of our offen-sive line and tight end I thought Zach Shackelford lead that group to being very good and new coach Jacob Hunter did an out-standing job as well Most disappointing was the early season struggles of our punt team and the impact it had on our Hendrickson Stony Point and Copperas Cove losses Kickers Roberto Barrios and Ryan Smith were very effective and improved dramatically from seasonrsquos start to endrdquo
Belton led in every game this season and five of the six losses came within the final minute (a total of 16 points in those five games) Things happen in foot-ball and this team could have finished with a 2-8 record and as good as 10-1 They set a school record for points in a season (452 in 11 games shattering the 1993 record of 425 in 1993 in 12 games)
ldquoWe had a lot of tough breaks this yearrdquo Shipley added ldquoI think the clock malfunctioning at Hendrickson had an effect on the outcome of the game Hendrickson scored two touchdowns in the sec-ond quarter that Irsquom not sure they would have had time to score if the clock was working properly I really feel that the Stony Point game came down to the fourth-down spot at the end of the game That sounds like an excuse but if you were at the game you know exactly what Irsquom
talking about The kids cer-tainly played well enough to win The Shoemaker game could have gone either way as could the Cove game Irsquove had seasons where the ball bounced our way and we got some breaks but unfortunately this wasnrsquot one of themrdquo
Defensively the team may have struggled and gave up yardage and points But the solid play of defensive line lineback-ers and secondary was there John Harvey Chris Jones Carlton Shanks III Brandon Gangloff Garrison Vaughn CJ Jones DJ Fisher Cody Garrett Reagan Chapman and a host of other defensive players played well against a schedule of solid teams
ldquoWinning is difficult in 6A football regardless of what team you are a part ofrdquo Morgan said ldquoI think the biggest thing moving forward is our guys have to understand the impor-tance of every play in the outcome of a close ball-game There can never be a letdown or lapse in focus in a tight ball game On the bright side the 2015 Tigers never quit and put themselves in situations to win every ball game they played this year
As is the case every sea-son teams lose a good number of seniors to grad-uation The 2016 Belton seniors have meant a great deal to the Belton Tigers football tradition
ldquoTheyrsquove put a lot into this thingrdquo Shipley said ldquoThey bought in and worked their tails off Not many teams across the state have over 100 kids that show up at 545 every morning to work out and our seniors led the wayrdquo

If the 32 minutes of basketball that the Belton Tigers opened up with on Monday night at Tiger Gym is a small taste of what fans will see out of this yearrsquos boysrsquo basketball team people may want to get in line for a big helping
Belton used a 29-7 third quarter and com-pounded it to a 17-point halftime lead en route to an 81-39 win over the Austin Travis Rebels
The Tigers are now 1-0 on the young season
Belton held Travis to one field goal in the first
quarter although neither team hit the scoreboard until Kiron Griffin Jr hit a put back in the paint at the 511 match and Izaiah Jones had a put back 20 seconds later to put Belton up 4-0
After a Travis field goal Jones Ruben Freeman and Dontori Lott helped the Tigers mount a 9-3 closing run to give Belton a 13-5 lead at the end of the first quarter
A combination of hot defense by the Tigers and cold shooting by the Rebels allowed Belton to outscore Travis 22-13 in the second quarter Lott Griffin Freeman and
Carson Hammond com-bined for the 22 points giving Belton a 35-18 lead at halftime
The Tigers made an emphatic statement to open up the first 445 of the second half by putting 17 unanswered points on the board Jones had six points Freeman and Hammond each had four points and Griffin hit a three-pointer to give the Tigers at 32-point lead 52-20 Belton held the Rebels to nine points in the quarter and lead by 35 points at the end for the stanza 62-27
Belton head coach David President cycled his bench into the game
and got valuable in-game experience The Tigers outscored Travis in the fourth quarter 19-12 and Belton cruised to the 42-point win
It is the biggest Belton margin of victory in sev-eral years President saw great things from his young team during the ball game
ldquoThe energy level was high and everybody came out ready to playrdquo President said ldquoI bragged on a couple of guys ear-lier today and they came out a little slow When we went to our bench we had great energyrdquo
Five Tigers scored in double-figures with
Jones leading the team with 15 points (10 in a row in the third quarter) Lott scored 14 Griffin posted 12 Hammond scored 11 and Freeman scored 10 Seven Tigers scored in all
Beltonrsquos two leading scorers from a year ago Jackson McGowan and Jordan Russell didnrsquot score But they posted several rebounds assists and steals in a solid defensive effort
ldquoWe have to have strong production from our bench all season longrdquo President said ldquoOn different nights some guys are going to be on We expect that
But when we bring the energy every night thatrsquos big time for usrdquo
Belton will travel to Temple to take on the Wildcats Saturday after-noon at 5 pm The game was moved from 7 pm on Friday to Saturday afternoon due to Templersquos playoff game in Bryan
ldquoItrsquos a rivalry gamerdquo President said ldquoItrsquos a game that will have high emotion and a lot of energy in the building We just have to do what we do We canrsquot get out of what we do We need to execute and play within ourselvesrdquo

half but Trinity closed to with three points at 74-71 with 949 left to play UMHB took it back to a seven-point lead before the Tigers fought back to within 78-75 with 737 remaining The two teams traded baskets for a while before the Cru used a 14-2 run to grab a 15-point lead with 253 to go The Tigers would not get closer than the final margin the rest of the way

Tigers Football sub-varsity teams successful in 2015
LOICONTINUED FROM C1
By Tony AdamsSports Editor
Much in the way of the past two seasons the Belton Tigersrsquo sub-varsity experienced great success in the 2015 season
The five sub-varsity teams went a combined 34-10-1 outscoring teams 1178-541
Thatrsquos an average score of 26-12 A two-touch-down differential com-bined up and down the ranks is an impressive one
The crown jewel in the season was the Belton JV Red team finishing with a perfect 10-0 record Outscoring teams 389-88 the nearest team came to within just 16 points of the Tigers
ldquoThis was a real-ly good group to work withrdquo Belton coach Mike Morgan said ldquoOne of the big selling points to the kids was that they had a tremendous opportunity to go out and compete each week As the season progressed and the team kept winning we talked about the opportunity to be perfect as a team There is never a perfect
play in a game and never a perfect game it is not possible But a team has the opportunity to have a perfect season and that is what the JV Red was able to accomplish They are a very unselfish group of players and they bought in that if they played extremely hard and did their job then they would have a great chance to be successfulrdquo
The Belton JV White team finished 6-2 against tough competition as well outscoring the oppo-sition 181-112 Though games against Stony Point (weather) and Ellison (JV teams merged) were cancelled coach Jason Moffett and his staff worked hard with their players to guide them towards success
ldquoWe try to find ways to really make the White Team importantrdquo Moffett said ldquoWe try not to allow our guys to think of themselves as ldquoBrdquo Team players We want to win ball games and be district champs no matter what the level We spend a lot of time coaching these guys I think a lot more than some other teams in
our area I saw improve-ment defensively over the course of the year in terms of alignment assignment and tacklingrdquo
The Belton Freshman Red team finished 7-3 outscoring opponents 273-146 A few of the freshmen were called up to junior varsity through-out the season
ldquoFreshmen improved from the start of camp all the way until the last game of the yearrdquo Belton coach Al Maxwell said ldquoThe improvement was most evident in the physi-cal condition and most importantly the mental toughness of the team as a wholerdquo
The Freshman White team was two points from a perfect season in their own rights (a late-season loss to Midway 29-27) having gone 9-1 in 2015 outscoring opponents 269-94
The Freshman Gray team played just a 7-game schedule and finished 2-4-1 having been out-scored 101-66 Most of the players were brought up to Freshman Red and Freshman White at the completion of the sched-
uleldquoThe guys achieved
good things this foot-ball season by winning 18 games and compet-ing with three teamsrdquo Maxwell said ldquoThe guysrsquo mental toughness was on display each game and showed when games became tough and crowds were hostile The guys did very this season and will look to win a district championship next sea-sonrdquo
The key to the success of the Tigers sub-varsity programs is the work that the players put in and the coaching staff and how they coach It is a uni-formed system up and down the ranks
ldquoWe spend a lot of time as coaches with our sub-varsity teamsrdquo Belton head football coach Bob Shipley said ldquoI canrsquot imagine any sub-varsi-ty teams in our district who get more individual coaching from varsity coaches than our kids do The JV kids have to be scout team players of course but we spend a lot of time with them out-side of varsity practice They are well-prepared
every week If you want to change a culture and have kids expecting to win you have to invest a lot of time in them before they are varsity players Our kids are learning how to win for sure Irsquove had kids tell me several times that they never won more than a game or two in middle school and they love win-ning in high school That lets us know that itrsquos all worth itrdquo
The talent is so abun-dant in the Belton sub-varsity system that the varsity team is able to bring up players to add to their depth and keep the junior varsity and fresh-man teams very competi-tive Although there are too many potential names to name players to watch in particular over the next season or two or three Shipley believes that the
10th grade season for a football player is one of the most critical seasons
ldquoThere are several JV players we expect to start for us next yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoIt should be that way every year We only had 2 sophomore players on varsity the majority of the season I think 10th grade is a critical time for players They need to be playing as much as pos-sible If theyrsquore going to be on varsity as sophomores they need to be starting because theyrsquore not get-ting any better standing on the sidelines They need to be getting every snap on Thursday nights so they can continue to develop as players and improverdquo
Congratulations to all five teams on a successful 2015 season

By Tony AdamsSports Editor
The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor football team will make its 12th straight NCAA Division III National Championships appear-ance and its 14th in the last 15 years after the Cru earned an at-large bid to the postseason with the announcement of the 32-team field Sunday evening
UMHB will open the postseason on the road with a First Round rematch with American Southwest Conference rival Hardin-Simmons University That game will kick off at 1200 PM at Shelton Stadium in Abilene The game will be broadcast on K1017 FM with the pre-game show starting at 1130 AM on Saturday
Both teams will advance to the postsea-son as at-large selections with 9-1 over records and 4-1 marks in ASC play Hardin-Simmons won the regular season meeting between the two teams 29-26 three weeks ago in Abilene snapping UMHBrsquos 61-game regular sea-son winning streak and 39-game ASC win streak in the process Ryan Breton had 284 yards passing 223 of those to the speedy Jessie Ramos Kerry Sloan had 108 yards on 25 carries for the Cowboys
Zach Anderson and Blake Jackson went a combined 14-of-25 passing for 172 yards Malcolm Miller had 113 yards rushing on 23 carries and Duane Thompson added 49 yards on 13 carries
The two teams will be meeting for the fourth time in the postseason and the 22nd time over-all The Cru has won each of the previous three postseason meet-ings between these two programs and holds a 15-6 all-time edge in the series
ldquoIt feels awesome to be selected and we really did have to sweat it out this seasonrdquo Cru head coach Pete Fredenburg said ldquoIt makes you real-ize what a fragile exis-tence you have in the playoffs and I feel an obligation to make sure we do everything we can to make the most of this opportunity I think the playersrsquo reaction shows that they are excited to be back in the playoffs and we hope that the excitement carries on into our practice and preparation for a big ball game next week-endrdquo
Anderson crossed the 2000-yard passing mark against East Texas Baptist He is 125-of-204 for 2041 yards 19 touchdowns against just four interceptions He also has 247 yards rushing and seven touchdowns Jackson is inserted into the ball-game in certain pack-ages and his numbers are good going 34-of-67 passing for 451 yards six touchdowns against two interceptions while running for 263 yards
and three touchdownsThe ldquorunning back
by committeerdquo pro-cess has worked for the Crusaders in 2015 While the Cru has run for 2593 yards in 10 games this season there are just two running backs over 500 yards Miller with 563 yards on 111 carries with 12 scores and Thompson with 538 yards on 98 totes and six touchdowns Michael Carpenter (48-275 3 TDs) Jackson Anderson Sterling Scott (16-180 3 TDs) and third-string quarterback Zane Boles (20-134 2 TDs) are all over 100 yards rushing for the season
Wykeyhe Walker (42 receptions 778 yards 11 TDs) is UMHBrsquos leading receiver Marcus Wimby (33-540 2 TDs) DeNerian Thomas (30-344 5 TDs) Justin Brumfield (18-189 TD) and Robbie Seybold (10-210) are all viable options are wide receiv-er and tight end for Anderson and Jackson
Breton (108-of-162 1744 yards 20 TDs 3 INT) and Weston Garner (70-of-91 1048 yards 9 TDs 2 INT) navigate the Cowboysrsquo offense with Sloan (164-789 9 TD) getting the bulk of the carries
Ramos gets the major-ity of the looks at wide receiver (75 catches for 1443 yards 16 TDs 192 yards-per-catch) and is dangerous as a punt and kick returner He has 330 yards on 17 punt returns and two touchdowns to go with four kick returns for 130 yards and a touchdown
UMHBrsquos defense is one of the best in the
country with 19 inter-ceptions 49 sacks 122 tackles for 507 yards lost nine forced fum-bles and 11 recovered fumbles Trey Thedford leads the defense with 83 tackles Teidrick Smith has 47 tackles includ-ing a team-leading 21 tackles for 116 yards lost and a team-leading 14 sacks Jon Isom has 165 tackles for loss and is second on the team in sacks with 11 Baylor Mullins Raylon Hickey and Reggie Wilson each have four interceptions

By Tony AdamsSports Editor
Last Friday nightrsquos bi-dis-trict playoff game between the Belton Tigers and the Rowlett Eagles was loaded with ups and downs There were so many great perfor-mances including Davion Peoples scoring rushing touchdowns on three con-secutive scores including his school record-breaking 98-yard run on his way to a 200-plus yard rushing night and Peyton Mansellrsquos ability to navigate the Tigers up and down the field
ldquoObviously we did some good things offensivelyrdquo Belton head coach Bob Shipley said ldquoWe didnrsquot turn the ball over which we knew would be key The offensive line did a good job most of the night and of course we had some receivers come up with some big plays I thought Peyton (Mansell) played really well especially for his first playoff gamerdquo
ldquoOffensively our kids did a great job execut-ing the game plan we preached all week that we couldnrsquot have that lull on offense that we have had from time to timerdquo Belton offensive coordinator Sam Skidmore said ldquoThe offen-sive line controlled the line of scrimmage DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) did a great job seeing the holes running well and blocking Peyton did it through the air and on the ground and really stepped up and led the entire receiving corps did a great job I think almost everyone had a catch and did a great job blocking as wellrdquo
As heartbreaking as the
loss was it was the high mark for points scored in a game this season and set a school record for points in a season with 452 There was absolutely no quit in the 48 minutes
ldquoDefensively it was just a long nightrdquo Shipley said ldquoWe made a couple of stops but didnrsquot in the fourth quarter when we had too They were very athletic and had a great quarterback I thought our kids fought so hard and Irsquom proud of them for that My only disappointment offensively were penalties that hurt our field position and the inability to get first downs when we had the lead in the fourth quarterrdquo
ldquoVery impressed with the resiliency our kids showedrdquo Belton special teams coach Mike Morgan said ldquoIt was a very emotional game and our kids kept responding over and over againrdquo
Ramonce Taylor was on the sidelines for the last couple of games and has been very encouraging towards the team He was so happy for Peoples when he broke his school record for the longest run
ldquoRamonce has been to several games this yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoItrsquos always great to see him and have him giving our kids point-ers I donrsquot think anyone would argue that he has to be one of the greatest athletes to ever represent Belton High School Hersquos back in school and wants to be a coach After seeing the way our kids respond to him I think hersquod be a great onerdquo
ldquoWe were very glad to have Ramonce on the side-linerdquo Skidmore said ldquoThe kids can relate and he was encouraging the kids being
involved and I know our kids enjoyed him being aroundrdquo
When discussing with the coaches the bi-district playoff game outcomes the 10-7 Shoemaker win over Sachse was a surprise to many in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex But to the Belton staff it wasnrsquot
ldquoI knew Shoemaker had a good defense but I was a little surprised by the scorerdquo Shipley said ldquoSachse has playmakers all over the field I think it shows people that our district can compete with any district in the state Every school has a great coaching staff Irsquove been very impressed with the coaches in our district and of course the athletes we see week in and week out are amazingrdquo
ldquoNo I expected Shoemaker to give them fits the match up of Kendall Jones on Sachsersquos center was going play big in favor of Shoemakerrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAlso Shoemakerrsquos overall defensive speed and tenacity gave Sachse fits I donrsquot know for sure but Irsquom assuming Shoemakerrsquos defensive line and front seven was disruptive all night against Sachsersquos offensive linerdquo
ldquoShoemaker was not a surprise at allrdquo Morgan said ldquoHolding Sachse to zero offensive touchdowns was quite an accomplish-ment But the unit that Shoemaker is able to put on the field defensively will probably not be appreci-ated until all of those guys have graduated Midway performed about like I thought they would Aside from the early season loss-es they have been a very good team the last eight weeksrdquo
The Tigers had a great season despite a 5-6 record There were highlights and lowlights as every season has
ldquoThe two games at Killeen were exciting but I think the way our kids came out and played against Hendrickson and Stony Point was a highlight for the regular seasonrdquo Shipley said ldquoThose teams beat us badly last year and our kids showed that we are a different team this year I was also proud of the way we came out against Midway as well It was a far cry from last year when we were never in the gamerdquo
ldquoI thought our offense made great strides this yearrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAt times we were very explo-sive and put up good num-bers The offensive line played well all year Shack was a great leader and it was awesome to see the prog-ress of Jerrod (Jackson) Javon (Chambers) (Jacob) Dumas and Caleb Smith Jaylin Bryant You couldnrsquot have asked for a better 1-2 punch than DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) Those two had great seasons Peyton (Mansell) got better every game he was a real leader and battled every game The leadership and tenac-ity to win he showed was impressive The receiv-ers got better all year and Olajuwon (Taylor) step-ping up and making plays all year long was hugerdquo
ldquoThe 2015 Tigers were a great bunch to coachrdquo Morgan said ldquoThere were times we had it rolling in all three phases of the game and times when we were one or two first downs or one or two stops away from breaking close games
open With all of the offen-sive skill kids who had to be replaced from 2014 I was very proud of the way new guys developed and became such weapons offensively It all started and ended with the out-standing play of our offen-sive line and tight end I thought Zach Shackelford lead that group to being very good and new coach Jacob Hunter did an out-standing job as well Most disappointing was the early season struggles of our punt team and the impact it had on our Hendrickson Stony Point and Copperas Cove losses Kickers Roberto Barrios and Ryan Smith were very effective and improved dramatically from seasonrsquos start to endrdquo
Belton led in every game this season and five of the six losses came within the final minute (a total of 16 points in those five games) Things happen in foot-ball and this team could have finished with a 2-8 record and as good as 10-1 They set a school record for points in a season (452 in 11 games shattering the 1993 record of 425 in 1993 in 12 games)
ldquoWe had a lot of tough breaks this yearrdquo Shipley added ldquoI think the clock malfunctioning at Hendrickson had an effect on the outcome of the game Hendrickson scored two touchdowns in the sec-ond quarter that Irsquom not sure they would have had time to score if the clock was working properly I really feel that the Stony Point game came down to the fourth-down spot at the end of the game That sounds like an excuse but if you were at the game you know exactly what Irsquom
talking about The kids cer-tainly played well enough to win The Shoemaker game could have gone either way as could the Cove game Irsquove had seasons where the ball bounced our way and we got some breaks but unfortunately this wasnrsquot one of themrdquo
Defensively the team may have struggled and gave up yardage and points But the solid play of defensive line lineback-ers and secondary was there John Harvey Chris Jones Carlton Shanks III Brandon Gangloff Garrison Vaughn CJ Jones DJ Fisher Cody Garrett Reagan Chapman and a host of other defensive players played well against a schedule of solid teams
ldquoWinning is difficult in 6A football regardless of what team you are a part ofrdquo Morgan said ldquoI think the biggest thing moving forward is our guys have to understand the impor-tance of every play in the outcome of a close ball-game There can never be a letdown or lapse in focus in a tight ball game On the bright side the 2015 Tigers never quit and put themselves in situations to win every ball game they played this year
As is the case every sea-son teams lose a good number of seniors to grad-uation The 2016 Belton seniors have meant a great deal to the Belton Tigers football tradition
ldquoTheyrsquove put a lot into this thingrdquo Shipley said ldquoThey bought in and worked their tails off Not many teams across the state have over 100 kids that show up at 545 every morning to work out and our seniors led the wayrdquo

Moore was a catalyst for the 2015 Tigers establish-ing herself as the leadoff hitter and a base-stealing threat Moore scored 30 runs had 16 stolen bases a 366 on batting average and a 429 on base per-centage
ldquoMy teammates are greatrdquo Moore said ldquoWe are a family and do every-thing together If we have issues we always work them out It never gets to the point where we ever breakrdquo

ldquoDalton came into the TIGER GOLF program with the expectation that he would play in the top spot on a team that had been one of the statersquos best for several yearsrdquo Belton head coach Jim Hellums said ldquoHe had to follow a State Champion He has done an admirable job and this yearsrsquo team is likely the best version of TIGER ONE yet His back-to-back 67rsquos in the Burnet Junior Golf Associationrsquos Fall Tournament is a great example of the caliber of player that he is and is a good forecast of the suc-cess he will have at the next levelrdquo
Madison Smith inked her letter of intent to play golf at the Dallas Baptist University

Tigers Football sub-varsity teams successful in 2015
LOICONTINUED FROM C1
By Tony AdamsSports Editor
Much in the way of the past two seasons the Belton Tigersrsquo sub-varsity experienced great success in the 2015 season
The five sub-varsity teams went a combined 34-10-1 outscoring teams 1178-541
Thatrsquos an average score of 26-12 A two-touch-down differential com-bined up and down the ranks is an impressive one
The crown jewel in the season was the Belton JV Red team finishing with a perfect 10-0 record Outscoring teams 389-88 the nearest team came to within just 16 points of the Tigers
ldquoThis was a real-ly good group to work withrdquo Belton coach Mike Morgan said ldquoOne of the big selling points to the kids was that they had a tremendous opportunity to go out and compete each week As the season progressed and the team kept winning we talked about the opportunity to be perfect as a team There is never a perfect
play in a game and never a perfect game it is not possible But a team has the opportunity to have a perfect season and that is what the JV Red was able to accomplish They are a very unselfish group of players and they bought in that if they played extremely hard and did their job then they would have a great chance to be successfulrdquo
The Belton JV White team finished 6-2 against tough competition as well outscoring the oppo-sition 181-112 Though games against Stony Point (weather) and Ellison (JV teams merged) were cancelled coach Jason Moffett and his staff worked hard with their players to guide them towards success
ldquoWe try to find ways to really make the White Team importantrdquo Moffett said ldquoWe try not to allow our guys to think of themselves as ldquoBrdquo Team players We want to win ball games and be district champs no matter what the level We spend a lot of time coaching these guys I think a lot more than some other teams in
our area I saw improve-ment defensively over the course of the year in terms of alignment assignment and tacklingrdquo
The Belton Freshman Red team finished 7-3 outscoring opponents 273-146 A few of the freshmen were called up to junior varsity through-out the season
ldquoFreshmen improved from the start of camp all the way until the last game of the yearrdquo Belton coach Al Maxwell said ldquoThe improvement was most evident in the physi-cal condition and most importantly the mental toughness of the team as a wholerdquo
The Freshman White team was two points from a perfect season in their own rights (a late-season loss to Midway 29-27) having gone 9-1 in 2015 outscoring opponents 269-94
The Freshman Gray team played just a 7-game schedule and finished 2-4-1 having been out-scored 101-66 Most of the players were brought up to Freshman Red and Freshman White at the completion of the sched-
uleldquoThe guys achieved
good things this foot-ball season by winning 18 games and compet-ing with three teamsrdquo Maxwell said ldquoThe guysrsquo mental toughness was on display each game and showed when games became tough and crowds were hostile The guys did very this season and will look to win a district championship next sea-sonrdquo
The key to the success of the Tigers sub-varsity programs is the work that the players put in and the coaching staff and how they coach It is a uni-formed system up and down the ranks
ldquoWe spend a lot of time as coaches with our sub-varsity teamsrdquo Belton head football coach Bob Shipley said ldquoI canrsquot imagine any sub-varsi-ty teams in our district who get more individual coaching from varsity coaches than our kids do The JV kids have to be scout team players of course but we spend a lot of time with them out-side of varsity practice They are well-prepared
every week If you want to change a culture and have kids expecting to win you have to invest a lot of time in them before they are varsity players Our kids are learning how to win for sure Irsquove had kids tell me several times that they never won more than a game or two in middle school and they love win-ning in high school That lets us know that itrsquos all worth itrdquo
The talent is so abun-dant in the Belton sub-varsity system that the varsity team is able to bring up players to add to their depth and keep the junior varsity and fresh-man teams very competi-tive Although there are too many potential names to name players to watch in particular over the next season or two or three Shipley believes that the
10th grade season for a football player is one of the most critical seasons
ldquoThere are several JV players we expect to start for us next yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoIt should be that way every year We only had 2 sophomore players on varsity the majority of the season I think 10th grade is a critical time for players They need to be playing as much as pos-sible If theyrsquore going to be on varsity as sophomores they need to be starting because theyrsquore not get-ting any better standing on the sidelines They need to be getting every snap on Thursday nights so they can continue to develop as players and improverdquo
Congratulations to all five teams on a successful 2015 season

By Tony AdamsSports Editor
Last Friday nightrsquos bi-dis-trict playoff game between the Belton Tigers and the Rowlett Eagles was loaded with ups and downs There were so many great perfor-mances including Davion Peoples scoring rushing touchdowns on three con-secutive scores including his school record-breaking 98-yard run on his way to a 200-plus yard rushing night and Peyton Mansellrsquos ability to navigate the Tigers up and down the field
ldquoObviously we did some good things offensivelyrdquo Belton head coach Bob Shipley said ldquoWe didnrsquot turn the ball over which we knew would be key The offensive line did a good job most of the night and of course we had some receivers come up with some big plays I thought Peyton (Mansell) played really well especially for his first playoff gamerdquo
ldquoOffensively our kids did a great job execut-ing the game plan we preached all week that we couldnrsquot have that lull on offense that we have had from time to timerdquo Belton offensive coordinator Sam Skidmore said ldquoThe offen-sive line controlled the line of scrimmage DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) did a great job seeing the holes running well and blocking Peyton did it through the air and on the ground and really stepped up and led the entire receiving corps did a great job I think almost everyone had a catch and did a great job blocking as wellrdquo
As heartbreaking as the
loss was it was the high mark for points scored in a game this season and set a school record for points in a season with 452 There was absolutely no quit in the 48 minutes
ldquoDefensively it was just a long nightrdquo Shipley said ldquoWe made a couple of stops but didnrsquot in the fourth quarter when we had too They were very athletic and had a great quarterback I thought our kids fought so hard and Irsquom proud of them for that My only disappointment offensively were penalties that hurt our field position and the inability to get first downs when we had the lead in the fourth quarterrdquo
ldquoVery impressed with the resiliency our kids showedrdquo Belton special teams coach Mike Morgan said ldquoIt was a very emotional game and our kids kept responding over and over againrdquo
Ramonce Taylor was on the sidelines for the last couple of games and has been very encouraging towards the team He was so happy for Peoples when he broke his school record for the longest run
ldquoRamonce has been to several games this yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoItrsquos always great to see him and have him giving our kids point-ers I donrsquot think anyone would argue that he has to be one of the greatest athletes to ever represent Belton High School Hersquos back in school and wants to be a coach After seeing the way our kids respond to him I think hersquod be a great onerdquo
ldquoWe were very glad to have Ramonce on the side-linerdquo Skidmore said ldquoThe kids can relate and he was encouraging the kids being
involved and I know our kids enjoyed him being aroundrdquo
When discussing with the coaches the bi-district playoff game outcomes the 10-7 Shoemaker win over Sachse was a surprise to many in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex But to the Belton staff it wasnrsquot
ldquoI knew Shoemaker had a good defense but I was a little surprised by the scorerdquo Shipley said ldquoSachse has playmakers all over the field I think it shows people that our district can compete with any district in the state Every school has a great coaching staff Irsquove been very impressed with the coaches in our district and of course the athletes we see week in and week out are amazingrdquo
ldquoNo I expected Shoemaker to give them fits the match up of Kendall Jones on Sachsersquos center was going play big in favor of Shoemakerrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAlso Shoemakerrsquos overall defensive speed and tenacity gave Sachse fits I donrsquot know for sure but Irsquom assuming Shoemakerrsquos defensive line and front seven was disruptive all night against Sachsersquos offensive linerdquo
ldquoShoemaker was not a surprise at allrdquo Morgan said ldquoHolding Sachse to zero offensive touchdowns was quite an accomplish-ment But the unit that Shoemaker is able to put on the field defensively will probably not be appreci-ated until all of those guys have graduated Midway performed about like I thought they would Aside from the early season loss-es they have been a very good team the last eight weeksrdquo
The Tigers had a great season despite a 5-6 record There were highlights and lowlights as every season has
ldquoThe two games at Killeen were exciting but I think the way our kids came out and played against Hendrickson and Stony Point was a highlight for the regular seasonrdquo Shipley said ldquoThose teams beat us badly last year and our kids showed that we are a different team this year I was also proud of the way we came out against Midway as well It was a far cry from last year when we were never in the gamerdquo
ldquoI thought our offense made great strides this yearrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAt times we were very explo-sive and put up good num-bers The offensive line played well all year Shack was a great leader and it was awesome to see the prog-ress of Jerrod (Jackson) Javon (Chambers) (Jacob) Dumas and Caleb Smith Jaylin Bryant You couldnrsquot have asked for a better 1-2 punch than DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) Those two had great seasons Peyton (Mansell) got better every game he was a real leader and battled every game The leadership and tenac-ity to win he showed was impressive The receiv-ers got better all year and Olajuwon (Taylor) step-ping up and making plays all year long was hugerdquo
ldquoThe 2015 Tigers were a great bunch to coachrdquo Morgan said ldquoThere were times we had it rolling in all three phases of the game and times when we were one or two first downs or one or two stops away from breaking close games
open With all of the offen-sive skill kids who had to be replaced from 2014 I was very proud of the way new guys developed and became such weapons offensively It all started and ended with the out-standing play of our offen-sive line and tight end I thought Zach Shackelford lead that group to being very good and new coach Jacob Hunter did an out-standing job as well Most disappointing was the early season struggles of our punt team and the impact it had on our Hendrickson Stony Point and Copperas Cove losses Kickers Roberto Barrios and Ryan Smith were very effective and improved dramatically from seasonrsquos start to endrdquo
Belton led in every game this season and five of the six losses came within the final minute (a total of 16 points in those five games) Things happen in foot-ball and this team could have finished with a 2-8 record and as good as 10-1 They set a school record for points in a season (452 in 11 games shattering the 1993 record of 425 in 1993 in 12 games)
ldquoWe had a lot of tough breaks this yearrdquo Shipley added ldquoI think the clock malfunctioning at Hendrickson had an effect on the outcome of the game Hendrickson scored two touchdowns in the sec-ond quarter that Irsquom not sure they would have had time to score if the clock was working properly I really feel that the Stony Point game came down to the fourth-down spot at the end of the game That sounds like an excuse but if you were at the game you know exactly what Irsquom
talking about The kids cer-tainly played well enough to win The Shoemaker game could have gone either way as could the Cove game Irsquove had seasons where the ball bounced our way and we got some breaks but unfortunately this wasnrsquot one of themrdquo
Defensively the team may have struggled and gave up yardage and points But the solid play of defensive line lineback-ers and secondary was there John Harvey Chris Jones Carlton Shanks III Brandon Gangloff Garrison Vaughn CJ Jones DJ Fisher Cody Garrett Reagan Chapman and a host of other defensive players played well against a schedule of solid teams
ldquoWinning is difficult in 6A football regardless of what team you are a part ofrdquo Morgan said ldquoI think the biggest thing moving forward is our guys have to understand the impor-tance of every play in the outcome of a close ball-game There can never be a letdown or lapse in focus in a tight ball game On the bright side the 2015 Tigers never quit and put themselves in situations to win every ball game they played this year
As is the case every sea-son teams lose a good number of seniors to grad-uation The 2016 Belton seniors have meant a great deal to the Belton Tigers football tradition
ldquoTheyrsquove put a lot into this thingrdquo Shipley said ldquoThey bought in and worked their tails off Not many teams across the state have over 100 kids that show up at 545 every morning to work out and our seniors led the wayrdquo

UMHB will open the postseason on the road with a First Round rematch with American Southwest Conference rival Hardin-Simmons University That game will kick off at 1200 PM at Shelton Stadium in Abilene The game will be broadcast on K1017 FM with the pre-game show starting at 1130 AM on Saturday
Both teams will advance to the postsea-son as at-large selections with 9-1 over records and 4-1 marks in ASC play Hardin-Simmons won the regular season meeting between the two teams 29-26 three weeks ago in Abilene snapping UMHBrsquos 61-game regular sea-son winning streak and 39-game ASC win streak in the process Ryan Breton had 284 yards passing 223 of those to the speedy Jessie Ramos Kerry Sloan had 108 yards on 25 carries for the Cowboys
Zach Anderson and Blake Jackson went a combined 14-of-25 passing for 172 yards Malcolm Miller had 113 yards rushing on 23 carries and Duane Thompson added 49 yards on 13 carries
The two teams will be meeting for the fourth time in the postseason and the 22nd time over-all The Cru has won each of the previous three postseason meet-ings between these two programs and holds a 15-6 all-time edge in the series
ldquoIt feels awesome to be selected and we really did have to sweat it out this seasonrdquo Cru head coach Pete Fredenburg said ldquoIt makes you real-ize what a fragile exis-tence you have in the playoffs and I feel an obligation to make sure we do everything we can to make the most of this opportunity I think the playersrsquo reaction shows that they are excited to be back in the playoffs and we hope that the excitement carries on into our practice and preparation for a big ball game next week-endrdquo
Anderson crossed the 2000-yard passing mark against East Texas Baptist He is 125-of-204 for 2041 yards 19 touchdowns against just four interceptions He also has 247 yards rushing and seven touchdowns Jackson is inserted into the ball-game in certain pack-ages and his numbers are good going 34-of-67 passing for 451 yards six touchdowns against two interceptions while running for 263 yards
and three touchdownsThe ldquorunning back
by committeerdquo pro-cess has worked for the Crusaders in 2015 While the Cru has run for 2593 yards in 10 games this season there are just two running backs over 500 yards Miller with 563 yards on 111 carries with 12 scores and Thompson with 538 yards on 98 totes and six touchdowns Michael Carpenter (48-275 3 TDs) Jackson Anderson Sterling Scott (16-180 3 TDs) and third-string quarterback Zane Boles (20-134 2 TDs) are all over 100 yards rushing for the season
Wykeyhe Walker (42 receptions 778 yards 11 TDs) is UMHBrsquos leading receiver Marcus Wimby (33-540 2 TDs) DeNerian Thomas (30-344 5 TDs) Justin Brumfield (18-189 TD) and Robbie Seybold (10-210) are all viable options are wide receiv-er and tight end for Anderson and Jackson
Breton (108-of-162 1744 yards 20 TDs 3 INT) and Weston Garner (70-of-91 1048 yards 9 TDs 2 INT) navigate the Cowboysrsquo offense with Sloan (164-789 9 TD) getting the bulk of the carries
Ramos gets the major-ity of the looks at wide receiver (75 catches for 1443 yards 16 TDs 192 yards-per-catch) and is dangerous as a punt and kick returner He has 330 yards on 17 punt returns and two touchdowns to go with four kick returns for 130 yards and a touchdown
UMHBrsquos defense is one of the best in the
country with 19 inter-ceptions 49 sacks 122 tackles for 507 yards lost nine forced fum-bles and 11 recovered fumbles Trey Thedford leads the defense with 83 tackles Teidrick Smith has 47 tackles includ-ing a team-leading 21 tackles for 116 yards lost and a team-leading 14 sacks Jon Isom has 165 tackles for loss and is second on the team in sacks with 11 Baylor Mullins Raylon Hickey and Reggie Wilson each have four interceptions

By Tony AdamsSports Editor
Last Friday nightrsquos bi-dis-trict playoff game between the Belton Tigers and the Rowlett Eagles was loaded with ups and downs There were so many great perfor-mances including Davion Peoples scoring rushing touchdowns on three con-secutive scores including his school record-breaking 98-yard run on his way to a 200-plus yard rushing night and Peyton Mansellrsquos ability to navigate the Tigers up and down the field
ldquoObviously we did some good things offensivelyrdquo Belton head coach Bob Shipley said ldquoWe didnrsquot turn the ball over which we knew would be key The offensive line did a good job most of the night and of course we had some receivers come up with some big plays I thought Peyton (Mansell) played really well especially for his first playoff gamerdquo
ldquoOffensively our kids did a great job execut-ing the game plan we preached all week that we couldnrsquot have that lull on offense that we have had from time to timerdquo Belton offensive coordinator Sam Skidmore said ldquoThe offen-sive line controlled the line of scrimmage DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) did a great job seeing the holes running well and blocking Peyton did it through the air and on the ground and really stepped up and led the entire receiving corps did a great job I think almost everyone had a catch and did a great job blocking as wellrdquo
As heartbreaking as the
loss was it was the high mark for points scored in a game this season and set a school record for points in a season with 452 There was absolutely no quit in the 48 minutes
ldquoDefensively it was just a long nightrdquo Shipley said ldquoWe made a couple of stops but didnrsquot in the fourth quarter when we had too They were very athletic and had a great quarterback I thought our kids fought so hard and Irsquom proud of them for that My only disappointment offensively were penalties that hurt our field position and the inability to get first downs when we had the lead in the fourth quarterrdquo
ldquoVery impressed with the resiliency our kids showedrdquo Belton special teams coach Mike Morgan said ldquoIt was a very emotional game and our kids kept responding over and over againrdquo
Ramonce Taylor was on the sidelines for the last couple of games and has been very encouraging towards the team He was so happy for Peoples when he broke his school record for the longest run
ldquoRamonce has been to several games this yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoItrsquos always great to see him and have him giving our kids point-ers I donrsquot think anyone would argue that he has to be one of the greatest athletes to ever represent Belton High School Hersquos back in school and wants to be a coach After seeing the way our kids respond to him I think hersquod be a great onerdquo
ldquoWe were very glad to have Ramonce on the side-linerdquo Skidmore said ldquoThe kids can relate and he was encouraging the kids being
involved and I know our kids enjoyed him being aroundrdquo
When discussing with the coaches the bi-district playoff game outcomes the 10-7 Shoemaker win over Sachse was a surprise to many in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex But to the Belton staff it wasnrsquot
ldquoI knew Shoemaker had a good defense but I was a little surprised by the scorerdquo Shipley said ldquoSachse has playmakers all over the field I think it shows people that our district can compete with any district in the state Every school has a great coaching staff Irsquove been very impressed with the coaches in our district and of course the athletes we see week in and week out are amazingrdquo
ldquoNo I expected Shoemaker to give them fits the match up of Kendall Jones on Sachsersquos center was going play big in favor of Shoemakerrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAlso Shoemakerrsquos overall defensive speed and tenacity gave Sachse fits I donrsquot know for sure but Irsquom assuming Shoemakerrsquos defensive line and front seven was disruptive all night against Sachsersquos offensive linerdquo
ldquoShoemaker was not a surprise at allrdquo Morgan said ldquoHolding Sachse to zero offensive touchdowns was quite an accomplish-ment But the unit that Shoemaker is able to put on the field defensively will probably not be appreci-ated until all of those guys have graduated Midway performed about like I thought they would Aside from the early season loss-es they have been a very good team the last eight weeksrdquo
The Tigers had a great season despite a 5-6 record There were highlights and lowlights as every season has
ldquoThe two games at Killeen were exciting but I think the way our kids came out and played against Hendrickson and Stony Point was a highlight for the regular seasonrdquo Shipley said ldquoThose teams beat us badly last year and our kids showed that we are a different team this year I was also proud of the way we came out against Midway as well It was a far cry from last year when we were never in the gamerdquo
ldquoI thought our offense made great strides this yearrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAt times we were very explo-sive and put up good num-bers The offensive line played well all year Shack was a great leader and it was awesome to see the prog-ress of Jerrod (Jackson) Javon (Chambers) (Jacob) Dumas and Caleb Smith Jaylin Bryant You couldnrsquot have asked for a better 1-2 punch than DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) Those two had great seasons Peyton (Mansell) got better every game he was a real leader and battled every game The leadership and tenac-ity to win he showed was impressive The receiv-ers got better all year and Olajuwon (Taylor) step-ping up and making plays all year long was hugerdquo
ldquoThe 2015 Tigers were a great bunch to coachrdquo Morgan said ldquoThere were times we had it rolling in all three phases of the game and times when we were one or two first downs or one or two stops away from breaking close games
open With all of the offen-sive skill kids who had to be replaced from 2014 I was very proud of the way new guys developed and became such weapons offensively It all started and ended with the out-standing play of our offen-sive line and tight end I thought Zach Shackelford lead that group to being very good and new coach Jacob Hunter did an out-standing job as well Most disappointing was the early season struggles of our punt team and the impact it had on our Hendrickson Stony Point and Copperas Cove losses Kickers Roberto Barrios and Ryan Smith were very effective and improved dramatically from seasonrsquos start to endrdquo
Belton led in every game this season and five of the six losses came within the final minute (a total of 16 points in those five games) Things happen in foot-ball and this team could have finished with a 2-8 record and as good as 10-1 They set a school record for points in a season (452 in 11 games shattering the 1993 record of 425 in 1993 in 12 games)
ldquoWe had a lot of tough breaks this yearrdquo Shipley added ldquoI think the clock malfunctioning at Hendrickson had an effect on the outcome of the game Hendrickson scored two touchdowns in the sec-ond quarter that Irsquom not sure they would have had time to score if the clock was working properly I really feel that the Stony Point game came down to the fourth-down spot at the end of the game That sounds like an excuse but if you were at the game you know exactly what Irsquom
talking about The kids cer-tainly played well enough to win The Shoemaker game could have gone either way as could the Cove game Irsquove had seasons where the ball bounced our way and we got some breaks but unfortunately this wasnrsquot one of themrdquo
Defensively the team may have struggled and gave up yardage and points But the solid play of defensive line lineback-ers and secondary was there John Harvey Chris Jones Carlton Shanks III Brandon Gangloff Garrison Vaughn CJ Jones DJ Fisher Cody Garrett Reagan Chapman and a host of other defensive players played well against a schedule of solid teams
ldquoWinning is difficult in 6A football regardless of what team you are a part ofrdquo Morgan said ldquoI think the biggest thing moving forward is our guys have to understand the impor-tance of every play in the outcome of a close ball-game There can never be a letdown or lapse in focus in a tight ball game On the bright side the 2015 Tigers never quit and put themselves in situations to win every ball game they played this year
As is the case every sea-son teams lose a good number of seniors to grad-uation The 2016 Belton seniors have meant a great deal to the Belton Tigers football tradition
ldquoTheyrsquove put a lot into this thingrdquo Shipley said ldquoThey bought in and worked their tails off Not many teams across the state have over 100 kids that show up at 545 every morning to work out and our seniors led the wayrdquo

UMHB will open the postseason on the road with a First Round rematch with American Southwest Conference rival Hardin-Simmons University That game will kick off at 1200 PM at Shelton Stadium in Abilene The game will be broadcast on K1017 FM with the pre-game show starting at 1130 AM on Saturday
Both teams will advance to the postsea-son as at-large selections with 9-1 over records and 4-1 marks in ASC play Hardin-Simmons won the regular season meeting between the two teams 29-26 three weeks ago in Abilene snapping UMHBrsquos 61-game regular sea-son winning streak and 39-game ASC win streak in the process Ryan Breton had 284 yards passing 223 of those to the speedy Jessie Ramos Kerry Sloan had 108 yards on 25 carries for the Cowboys
Zach Anderson and Blake Jackson went a combined 14-of-25 passing for 172 yards Malcolm Miller had 113 yards rushing on 23 carries and Duane Thompson added 49 yards on 13 carries
The two teams will be meeting for the fourth time in the postseason and the 22nd time over-all The Cru has won each of the previous three postseason meet-ings between these two programs and holds a 15-6 all-time edge in the series
ldquoIt feels awesome to be selected and we really did have to sweat it out this seasonrdquo Cru head coach Pete Fredenburg said ldquoIt makes you real-ize what a fragile exis-tence you have in the playoffs and I feel an obligation to make sure we do everything we can to make the most of this opportunity I think the playersrsquo reaction shows that they are excited to be back in the playoffs and we hope that the excitement carries on into our practice and preparation for a big ball game next week-endrdquo
Anderson crossed the 2000-yard passing mark against East Texas Baptist He is 125-of-204 for 2041 yards 19 touchdowns against just four interceptions He also has 247 yards rushing and seven touchdowns Jackson is inserted into the ball-game in certain pack-ages and his numbers are good going 34-of-67 passing for 451 yards six touchdowns against two interceptions while running for 263 yards
and three touchdownsThe ldquorunning back
by committeerdquo pro-cess has worked for the Crusaders in 2015 While the Cru has run for 2593 yards in 10 games this season there are just two running backs over 500 yards Miller with 563 yards on 111 carries with 12 scores and Thompson with 538 yards on 98 totes and six touchdowns Michael Carpenter (48-275 3 TDs) Jackson Anderson Sterling Scott (16-180 3 TDs) and third-string quarterback Zane Boles (20-134 2 TDs) are all over 100 yards rushing for the season
Wykeyhe Walker (42 receptions 778 yards 11 TDs) is UMHBrsquos leading receiver Marcus Wimby (33-540 2 TDs) DeNerian Thomas (30-344 5 TDs) Justin Brumfield (18-189 TD) and Robbie Seybold (10-210) are all viable options are wide receiv-er and tight end for Anderson and Jackson
Breton (108-of-162 1744 yards 20 TDs 3 INT) and Weston Garner (70-of-91 1048 yards 9 TDs 2 INT) navigate the Cowboysrsquo offense with Sloan (164-789 9 TD) getting the bulk of the carries
Ramos gets the major-ity of the looks at wide receiver (75 catches for 1443 yards 16 TDs 192 yards-per-catch) and is dangerous as a punt and kick returner He has 330 yards on 17 punt returns and two touchdowns to go with four kick returns for 130 yards and a touchdown
UMHBrsquos defense is one of the best in the
country with 19 inter-ceptions 49 sacks 122 tackles for 507 yards lost nine forced fum-bles and 11 recovered fumbles Trey Thedford leads the defense with 83 tackles Teidrick Smith has 47 tackles includ-ing a team-leading 21 tackles for 116 yards lost and a team-leading 14 sacks Jon Isom has 165 tackles for loss and is second on the team in sacks with 11 Baylor Mullins Raylon Hickey and Reggie Wilson each have four interceptions

By Tony AdamsSports Editor
Last Friday nightrsquos bi-dis-trict playoff game between the Belton Tigers and the Rowlett Eagles was loaded with ups and downs There were so many great perfor-mances including Davion Peoples scoring rushing touchdowns on three con-secutive scores including his school record-breaking 98-yard run on his way to a 200-plus yard rushing night and Peyton Mansellrsquos ability to navigate the Tigers up and down the field
ldquoObviously we did some good things offensivelyrdquo Belton head coach Bob Shipley said ldquoWe didnrsquot turn the ball over which we knew would be key The offensive line did a good job most of the night and of course we had some receivers come up with some big plays I thought Peyton (Mansell) played really well especially for his first playoff gamerdquo
ldquoOffensively our kids did a great job execut-ing the game plan we preached all week that we couldnrsquot have that lull on offense that we have had from time to timerdquo Belton offensive coordinator Sam Skidmore said ldquoThe offen-sive line controlled the line of scrimmage DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) did a great job seeing the holes running well and blocking Peyton did it through the air and on the ground and really stepped up and led the entire receiving corps did a great job I think almost everyone had a catch and did a great job blocking as wellrdquo
As heartbreaking as the
loss was it was the high mark for points scored in a game this season and set a school record for points in a season with 452 There was absolutely no quit in the 48 minutes
ldquoDefensively it was just a long nightrdquo Shipley said ldquoWe made a couple of stops but didnrsquot in the fourth quarter when we had too They were very athletic and had a great quarterback I thought our kids fought so hard and Irsquom proud of them for that My only disappointment offensively were penalties that hurt our field position and the inability to get first downs when we had the lead in the fourth quarterrdquo
ldquoVery impressed with the resiliency our kids showedrdquo Belton special teams coach Mike Morgan said ldquoIt was a very emotional game and our kids kept responding over and over againrdquo
Ramonce Taylor was on the sidelines for the last couple of games and has been very encouraging towards the team He was so happy for Peoples when he broke his school record for the longest run
ldquoRamonce has been to several games this yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoItrsquos always great to see him and have him giving our kids point-ers I donrsquot think anyone would argue that he has to be one of the greatest athletes to ever represent Belton High School Hersquos back in school and wants to be a coach After seeing the way our kids respond to him I think hersquod be a great onerdquo
ldquoWe were very glad to have Ramonce on the side-linerdquo Skidmore said ldquoThe kids can relate and he was encouraging the kids being
involved and I know our kids enjoyed him being aroundrdquo
When discussing with the coaches the bi-district playoff game outcomes the 10-7 Shoemaker win over Sachse was a surprise to many in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex But to the Belton staff it wasnrsquot
ldquoI knew Shoemaker had a good defense but I was a little surprised by the scorerdquo Shipley said ldquoSachse has playmakers all over the field I think it shows people that our district can compete with any district in the state Every school has a great coaching staff Irsquove been very impressed with the coaches in our district and of course the athletes we see week in and week out are amazingrdquo
ldquoNo I expected Shoemaker to give them fits the match up of Kendall Jones on Sachsersquos center was going play big in favor of Shoemakerrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAlso Shoemakerrsquos overall defensive speed and tenacity gave Sachse fits I donrsquot know for sure but Irsquom assuming Shoemakerrsquos defensive line and front seven was disruptive all night against Sachsersquos offensive linerdquo
ldquoShoemaker was not a surprise at allrdquo Morgan said ldquoHolding Sachse to zero offensive touchdowns was quite an accomplish-ment But the unit that Shoemaker is able to put on the field defensively will probably not be appreci-ated until all of those guys have graduated Midway performed about like I thought they would Aside from the early season loss-es they have been a very good team the last eight weeksrdquo
The Tigers had a great season despite a 5-6 record There were highlights and lowlights as every season has
ldquoThe two games at Killeen were exciting but I think the way our kids came out and played against Hendrickson and Stony Point was a highlight for the regular seasonrdquo Shipley said ldquoThose teams beat us badly last year and our kids showed that we are a different team this year I was also proud of the way we came out against Midway as well It was a far cry from last year when we were never in the gamerdquo
ldquoI thought our offense made great strides this yearrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAt times we were very explo-sive and put up good num-bers The offensive line played well all year Shack was a great leader and it was awesome to see the prog-ress of Jerrod (Jackson) Javon (Chambers) (Jacob) Dumas and Caleb Smith Jaylin Bryant You couldnrsquot have asked for a better 1-2 punch than DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) Those two had great seasons Peyton (Mansell) got better every game he was a real leader and battled every game The leadership and tenac-ity to win he showed was impressive The receiv-ers got better all year and Olajuwon (Taylor) step-ping up and making plays all year long was hugerdquo
ldquoThe 2015 Tigers were a great bunch to coachrdquo Morgan said ldquoThere were times we had it rolling in all three phases of the game and times when we were one or two first downs or one or two stops away from breaking close games
open With all of the offen-sive skill kids who had to be replaced from 2014 I was very proud of the way new guys developed and became such weapons offensively It all started and ended with the out-standing play of our offen-sive line and tight end I thought Zach Shackelford lead that group to being very good and new coach Jacob Hunter did an out-standing job as well Most disappointing was the early season struggles of our punt team and the impact it had on our Hendrickson Stony Point and Copperas Cove losses Kickers Roberto Barrios and Ryan Smith were very effective and improved dramatically from seasonrsquos start to endrdquo
Belton led in every game this season and five of the six losses came within the final minute (a total of 16 points in those five games) Things happen in foot-ball and this team could have finished with a 2-8 record and as good as 10-1 They set a school record for points in a season (452 in 11 games shattering the 1993 record of 425 in 1993 in 12 games)
ldquoWe had a lot of tough breaks this yearrdquo Shipley added ldquoI think the clock malfunctioning at Hendrickson had an effect on the outcome of the game Hendrickson scored two touchdowns in the sec-ond quarter that Irsquom not sure they would have had time to score if the clock was working properly I really feel that the Stony Point game came down to the fourth-down spot at the end of the game That sounds like an excuse but if you were at the game you know exactly what Irsquom
talking about The kids cer-tainly played well enough to win The Shoemaker game could have gone either way as could the Cove game Irsquove had seasons where the ball bounced our way and we got some breaks but unfortunately this wasnrsquot one of themrdquo
Defensively the team may have struggled and gave up yardage and points But the solid play of defensive line lineback-ers and secondary was there John Harvey Chris Jones Carlton Shanks III Brandon Gangloff Garrison Vaughn CJ Jones DJ Fisher Cody Garrett Reagan Chapman and a host of other defensive players played well against a schedule of solid teams
ldquoWinning is difficult in 6A football regardless of what team you are a part ofrdquo Morgan said ldquoI think the biggest thing moving forward is our guys have to understand the impor-tance of every play in the outcome of a close ball-game There can never be a letdown or lapse in focus in a tight ball game On the bright side the 2015 Tigers never quit and put themselves in situations to win every ball game they played this year
As is the case every sea-son teams lose a good number of seniors to grad-uation The 2016 Belton seniors have meant a great deal to the Belton Tigers football tradition
ldquoTheyrsquove put a lot into this thingrdquo Shipley said ldquoThey bought in and worked their tails off Not many teams across the state have over 100 kids that show up at 545 every morning to work out and our seniors led the wayrdquo

Crusaders playoff road sees rematch at Hardin-Simmons
2015 Tiger Football had explosiveness excitement
By Tony AdamsSports Editor
The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor football team will make its 12th straight NCAA Division III National Championships appear-ance and its 14th in the last 15 years after the Cru earned an at-large bid to the postseason with the announcement of the 32-team field Sunday evening
UMHB will open the postseason on the road with a First Round rematch with American Southwest Conference rival Hardin-Simmons University That game will kick off at 1200 PM at Shelton Stadium in Abilene The game will be broadcast on K1017 FM with the pre-game show starting at 1130 AM on Saturday
Both teams will advance to the postsea-son as at-large selections with 9-1 over records and 4-1 marks in ASC play Hardin-Simmons won the regular season meeting between the two teams 29-26 three weeks ago in Abilene snapping UMHBrsquos 61-game regular sea-son winning streak and 39-game ASC win streak in the process Ryan Breton had 284 yards passing 223 of those to the speedy Jessie Ramos Kerry Sloan had 108 yards on 25 carries for the Cowboys
Zach Anderson and Blake Jackson went a combined 14-of-25 passing for 172 yards Malcolm Miller had 113 yards rushing on 23 carries and Duane Thompson added 49 yards on 13 carries
The two teams will be meeting for the fourth time in the postseason and the 22nd time over-all The Cru has won each of the previous three postseason meet-ings between these two programs and holds a 15-6 all-time edge in the series
ldquoIt feels awesome to be selected and we really did have to sweat it out this seasonrdquo Cru head coach Pete Fredenburg said ldquoIt makes you real-ize what a fragile exis-tence you have in the playoffs and I feel an obligation to make sure we do everything we can to make the most of this opportunity I think the playersrsquo reaction shows that they are excited to be back in the playoffs and we hope that the excitement carries on into our practice and preparation for a big ball game next week-endrdquo
Anderson crossed the 2000-yard passing mark against East Texas Baptist He is 125-of-204 for 2041 yards 19 touchdowns against just four interceptions He also has 247 yards rushing and seven touchdowns Jackson is inserted into the ball-game in certain pack-ages and his numbers are good going 34-of-67 passing for 451 yards six touchdowns against two interceptions while running for 263 yards
and three touchdownsThe ldquorunning back
by committeerdquo pro-cess has worked for the Crusaders in 2015 While the Cru has run for 2593 yards in 10 games this season there are just two running backs over 500 yards Miller with 563 yards on 111 carries with 12 scores and Thompson with 538 yards on 98 totes and six touchdowns Michael Carpenter (48-275 3 TDs) Jackson Anderson Sterling Scott (16-180 3 TDs) and third-string quarterback Zane Boles (20-134 2 TDs) are all over 100 yards rushing for the season
Wykeyhe Walker (42 receptions 778 yards 11 TDs) is UMHBrsquos leading receiver Marcus Wimby (33-540 2 TDs) DeNerian Thomas (30-344 5 TDs) Justin Brumfield (18-189 TD) and Robbie Seybold (10-210) are all viable options are wide receiv-er and tight end for Anderson and Jackson
Breton (108-of-162 1744 yards 20 TDs 3 INT) and Weston Garner (70-of-91 1048 yards 9 TDs 2 INT) navigate the Cowboysrsquo offense with Sloan (164-789 9 TD) getting the bulk of the carries
Ramos gets the major-ity of the looks at wide receiver (75 catches for 1443 yards 16 TDs 192 yards-per-catch) and is dangerous as a punt and kick returner He has 330 yards on 17 punt returns and two touchdowns to go with four kick returns for 130 yards and a touchdown
UMHBrsquos defense is one of the best in the

By Tony AdamsSports Editor
Last Friday nightrsquos bi-dis-trict playoff game between the Belton Tigers and the Rowlett Eagles was loaded with ups and downs There were so many great perfor-mances including Davion Peoples scoring rushing touchdowns on three con-secutive scores including his school record-breaking 98-yard run on his way to a 200-plus yard rushing night and Peyton Mansellrsquos ability to navigate the Tigers up and down the field
ldquoObviously we did some good things offensivelyrdquo Belton head coach Bob Shipley said ldquoWe didnrsquot turn the ball over which we knew would be key The offensive line did a good job most of the night and of course we had some receivers come up with some big plays I thought Peyton (Mansell) played really well especially for his first playoff gamerdquo
ldquoOffensively our kids did a great job execut-ing the game plan we preached all week that we couldnrsquot have that lull on offense that we have had from time to timerdquo Belton offensive coordinator Sam Skidmore said ldquoThe offen-sive line controlled the line of scrimmage DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) did a great job seeing the holes running well and blocking Peyton did it through the air and on the ground and really stepped up and led the entire receiving corps did a great job I think almost everyone had a catch and did a great job blocking as wellrdquo
As heartbreaking as the
loss was it was the high mark for points scored in a game this season and set a school record for points in a season with 452 There was absolutely no quit in the 48 minutes
ldquoDefensively it was just a long nightrdquo Shipley said ldquoWe made a couple of stops but didnrsquot in the fourth quarter when we had too They were very athletic and had a great quarterback I thought our kids fought so hard and Irsquom proud of them for that My only disappointment offensively were penalties that hurt our field position and the inability to get first downs when we had the lead in the fourth quarterrdquo
ldquoVery impressed with the resiliency our kids showedrdquo Belton special teams coach Mike Morgan said ldquoIt was a very emotional game and our kids kept responding over and over againrdquo
Ramonce Taylor was on the sidelines for the last couple of games and has been very encouraging towards the team He was so happy for Peoples when he broke his school record for the longest run
ldquoRamonce has been to several games this yearrdquo Shipley said ldquoItrsquos always great to see him and have him giving our kids point-ers I donrsquot think anyone would argue that he has to be one of the greatest athletes to ever represent Belton High School Hersquos back in school and wants to be a coach After seeing the way our kids respond to him I think hersquod be a great onerdquo
ldquoWe were very glad to have Ramonce on the side-linerdquo Skidmore said ldquoThe kids can relate and he was encouraging the kids being
involved and I know our kids enjoyed him being aroundrdquo
When discussing with the coaches the bi-district playoff game outcomes the 10-7 Shoemaker win over Sachse was a surprise to many in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex But to the Belton staff it wasnrsquot
ldquoI knew Shoemaker had a good defense but I was a little surprised by the scorerdquo Shipley said ldquoSachse has playmakers all over the field I think it shows people that our district can compete with any district in the state Every school has a great coaching staff Irsquove been very impressed with the coaches in our district and of course the athletes we see week in and week out are amazingrdquo
ldquoNo I expected Shoemaker to give them fits the match up of Kendall Jones on Sachsersquos center was going play big in favor of Shoemakerrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAlso Shoemakerrsquos overall defensive speed and tenacity gave Sachse fits I donrsquot know for sure but Irsquom assuming Shoemakerrsquos defensive line and front seven was disruptive all night against Sachsersquos offensive linerdquo
ldquoShoemaker was not a surprise at allrdquo Morgan said ldquoHolding Sachse to zero offensive touchdowns was quite an accomplish-ment But the unit that Shoemaker is able to put on the field defensively will probably not be appreci-ated until all of those guys have graduated Midway performed about like I thought they would Aside from the early season loss-es they have been a very good team the last eight weeksrdquo
The Tigers had a great season despite a 5-6 record There were highlights and lowlights as every season has
ldquoThe two games at Killeen were exciting but I think the way our kids came out and played against Hendrickson and Stony Point was a highlight for the regular seasonrdquo Shipley said ldquoThose teams beat us badly last year and our kids showed that we are a different team this year I was also proud of the way we came out against Midway as well It was a far cry from last year when we were never in the gamerdquo
ldquoI thought our offense made great strides this yearrdquo Skidmore said ldquoAt times we were very explo-sive and put up good num-bers The offensive line played well all year Shack was a great leader and it was awesome to see the prog-ress of Jerrod (Jackson) Javon (Chambers) (Jacob) Dumas and Caleb Smith Jaylin Bryant You couldnrsquot have asked for a better 1-2 punch than DaeDae (Peoples) and Demeatric (Brandon) Those two had great seasons Peyton (Mansell) got better every game he was a real leader and battled every game The leadership and tenac-ity to win he showed was impressive The receiv-ers got better all year and Olajuwon (Taylor) step-ping up and making plays all year long was hugerdquo
ldquoThe 2015 Tigers were a great bunch to coachrdquo Morgan said ldquoThere were times we had it rolling in all three phases of the game and times when we were one or two first downs or one or two stops away from breaking close games
open With all of the offen-sive skill kids who had to be replaced from 2014 I was very proud of the way new guys developed and became such weapons offensively It all started and ended with the out-standing play of our offen-sive line and tight end I thought Zach Shackelford lead that group to being very good and new coach Jacob Hunter did an out-standing job as well Most disappointing was the early season struggles of our punt team and the impact it had on our Hendrickson Stony Point and Copperas Cove losses Kickers Roberto Barrios and Ryan Smith were very effective and improved dramatically from seasonrsquos start to endrdquo
Belton led in every game this season and five of the six losses came within the final minute (a total of 16 points in those five games) Things happen in foot-ball and this team could have finished with a 2-8 record and as good as 10-1 They set a school record for points in a season (452 in 11 games shattering the 1993 record of 425 in 1993 in 12 games)
ldquoWe had a lot of tough breaks this yearrdquo Shipley added ldquoI think the clock malfunctioning at Hendrickson had an effect on the outcome of the game Hendrickson scored two touchdowns in the sec-ond quarter that Irsquom not sure they would have had time to score if the clock was working properly I really feel that the Stony Point game came down to the fourth-down spot at the end of the game That sounds like an excuse but if you were at the game you know exactly what Irsquom
talking about The kids cer-tainly played well enough to win The Shoemaker game could have gone either way as could the Cove game Irsquove had seasons where the ball bounced our way and we got some breaks but unfortunately this wasnrsquot one of themrdquo
Defensively the team may have struggled and gave up yardage and points But the solid play of defensive line lineback-ers and secondary was there John Harvey Chris Jones Carlton Shanks III Brandon Gangloff Garrison Vaughn CJ Jones DJ Fisher Cody Garrett Reagan Chapman and a host of other defensive players played well against a schedule of solid teams
ldquoWinning is difficult in 6A football regardless of what team you are a part ofrdquo Morgan said ldquoI think the biggest thing moving forward is our guys have to understand the impor-tance of every play in the outcome of a close ball-game There can never be a letdown or lapse in focus in a tight ball game On the bright side the 2015 Tigers never quit and put themselves in situations to win every ball game they played this year
As is the case every sea-son teams lose a good number of seniors to grad-uation The 2016 Belton seniors have meant a great deal to the Belton Tigers football tradition
ldquoTheyrsquove put a lot into this thingrdquo Shipley said ldquoThey bought in and worked their tails off Not many teams across the state have over 100 kids that show up at 545 every morning to work out and our seniors led the wayrdquo
