Mason’s Scarlet Punchers, those intrepid “women of a certain age,” know how uncertain life can be. Many of us have lost persons we cherish, have had health issues, and can be just plain tired and crabby at times. However, we try to keep an “attitude of gratitude,” suit up, show up, and paint on our game faces for our monthly gatherings for fun, fellowship and food.
This month we are gathering at the home of Joan Williams on Monday, November 14th, 11:30 AM, fo ...

Norma R. Stahl, beloved mother and grandmother, passed away on October 31, 2016. She was 79 years old.
Norma was born October 15, 1937, in Seadrift, Texas, to the late Earl S. Coward and Margaret C. (Hall) Coward. Norma was a secretary employed by the United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters of the United States and Canada for a period of 27 ½ years.
The game last Friday between the Mason Punchers and the Sabinal Yellowjackets started with a 90-yard kickoff return touchdown by Haddon Hudson. It was an omen for the rest of the rather lopsided game.
After Fernando Torres added the PAT, the clock still had 11:58 left in the first quarter of play and a score of 7-0.
Sabinal didn't hold on to the ball for long after Mason's kick.
