The 7th grade Colts started their second round of district identically to how their season began with huge wins by both the B and A teams over Bandera. The only difference was this time their victories came on the road, and there were no pregnant mamas in the parking lot looking to start a fight after the game. If you know, you know.
B-Team
The B-Team Bombers won decisively 29-13 as Bentley Gutierrez and Israel Casas each dropped 8 points on the Bulldogs. Six of Gutierrez’s points came from long range as he knocked down two three-pointers.

Mr. Don Bottoms, a Korean War vet had a nice motor home which he wanted to put to good use, and another local veteran Jesse Rodriguez from Devine VFW jumped right up and volunteered to repair the home and take it to the family in…

Roads were starting to be paved and street lamps were starting to light up the night sky, WWII veteran George A. Schroeder Jr. was born January 17, 1924. He led a very exciting life as a soldier, musician, and landed gigs that allowed him to preform right alongside the movie stars before eventually settling in Devine.
