LYON, FRANCE—Talk about your Dream Team. My gracious, those women are somethin’ else. I don’t know exactly what else—or how they could be much better—as the U.S. Women captured the World Cup for the second quadrennial in a row. The Americans were no Dutch treat for the Netherlands, claiming a 2-nil triumph near the Arc de Triomphe, July 7.
He hit home runs by the hundreds—seven shy of 500—and he had undoubtedly been at the plate many times when a hit was mandatory or the Yankees might lose—a rarity in the 1920s through the mid-1960s.
61,000 people were at the Stadium—the number should have been of little consequence to this slugger.
Recently, the NCAA decided to extend the three-point line in men’s basketball. This will be for Division I this season and Divisions II and III in 2020-2021. The women (and high schools) are not affected.
The arc of the past was 20 feet, nine inches from the hoop. The new distance—like in the International game—will be 22 feet, one-and-three-quarter inches.
I like following the International rules, so when Duke travels to Italy to meet the Rome Raiders, the home crowd can expect its ...
Happy Summer! With this season arrives all the issues of heat, bugs and water. Let's remember some basics: If possible, cover tender plants with shade cloth, or ahead of time, plant where it has a little shade from larger plants or a tree. Water consistently and check soil by digging a little hole to see if there is moisture deeper in the root system.
What does ethics or being ethical mean to you? Ethics are the moral codes and values by which we live our lives. I often think about the old saying “Who are you when no one is watching?” To me, how I act when no one is watching shows my true ethical character.
Ethics are not just about your feelings, laws, or social norms, because all these things can be associated with actions that can deviate from what is ethical.
It’s great to have friends that share your interests; friends you can bounce ideas off of and discover and perfect new ways of doing things. I have such a friend in Deryl Markgraf. Deryl and I met a few years ago and became instant friends. The love of hunting wild hogs and then transforming the meat into tasty meals created the bond between us and lots of time together hunting and fishing strengthened that bond.
My friend is not a person that delves lightly into anything.
I want to tell you, of the many things I dislike about the media, second guessing is easily in the top ten. I’m talking about the Kevin Durant injury. The day after the Achilles damage, too many writers, broadcasters, bloggers and old-time pundits blasted the Warriors for playing Durant in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
I am often asked for gift ideas for many of my friends that share my interest in the outdoors. Finding that perfect gift can be a daunting task, especially if the shopper does not hunt or fish.
Some items such as hunting bows, rifles, or shotguns require some input from the one receiving the gift.
GEORGETOWN—The high school football season—real tackle football—either got underway early or ended late, June 7, in the All-Star FCA Unity Bowl at Birkelbach Field.
Llano High’s Cade Fly and Mason Brooks and Defensive Coordinator Clint Easley helped the Blue team win on the last play of the game, 16-14, over the Gold.
“It’s a great experience to play with this caliber of players,” said Brooks, a safety, who actually was filling the position of a hybrid safety/linebacker.
The doorknocker at our home’s entrance sits astride a plaque containing the following quote of Joshua (of wall falling fame): “AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD,” an appropriate goal for any father at any time, but an especially fitting one to ponder on Father’s Day.
Who was this committed father whose words expressing his family goal remain familiar to millions millennia later?
Joshua had lived an exciting and sometimes dangerous life.
