Wimberley’s 24-0 punishment of Llano, October 9, reminded me of going to games with my dad when I was nine or 10, and our team was losing.
“Didn’t you tell me we were going to win? That they are oh-and-six?” I would also ask in a whining voice, “Can we catch up?”
He was as mad as I was, but he had to remain the mature adult—not that I knew what the word meant.

While I was talking with Mark Ament in the parking lot of the Tractor Supply Company store several folks drove up anxious to shop the store. “Can’t sell you anything,” Ament said, “we’re not set up for it. No cash registers, no money. We’ll open October 10.”

At Packsaddle the bus loop fencing is complete.
