The 2024 Peanut Buttler Bowl will feature the Lytle Pirates vs Llano Yellow Jackets on Friday, August 30, 2024 with kickoff at 7:00pm at Walter Joyce Stadium (Lytle, Texas).
It’s time to gather up those peanut butter jars and bring them in! You also have the opportunity to donate $2 online for each jar.
Last year we reached 800 jars of PB, and this year, I am challenging our community to hit the 1,000 mark to exceed our number from last year! Bring your best!
Thank you once again to Steve Teel and Coach Rittimann for allowing us to participate in this event!

Rank One completion a must for all HS & MS student-athletes
Jerel Beaty
Staff Writer
In an effort to cut down the number of trees cut down for yearly monotonous paperwork, Rank One is online for parents of all student-athletes to either begin or update forms a school district must have on file prior to a student’s first day of practice.
All forms should be ready to fill out on the website listed below, except for the student’s annual physical which must be submitted in person prior to first workout as well.
All coaches and administrators appreciate the time taken to complete all forms and physicals prior to the first actual practice.

Jerel Beaty
Staff Writer
Put August 19 on your calendar if you happen to be the parent of a Devine Middle School Colt or Filly athlete as clothes pickup and a parent meeting occur on that particular day.
Filly athletes can pick up their workout clothes from their respective coaches between the hours of 2pm and 4pm.
Eight grade Colt athletes can get their garb between 2pm and 3pm while seventh grade Colts follow from 3pm and 4pm.
The all-important parent meeting for all DMS athletes begins at 7pm in the DMS cafeteria with breakout sessions for specific sports soon following.
This would be a wonderful time to turn in all medical paperwork in person, as well as a great date to have Rank One paperwork completed online.
If you have any questions, please contact the DMS Office at 830-851-0610.

Where in the Biblewill I find…?
Matthew 5:3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
I pray that you are doing well so far this week. As always, I encourage you to get into the word of God on a daily basis. Have you read your Bible today? If not, why not? It only takes a few minutes to read a whole chapter. In Luke 4:4 Jesus said: “…it is written, that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.” Let us also continue to pray for our nation’s defenders and our first responders. Our question for the week is; “Where in the Bible will I find someone’s flocks destroyed by hot thunderbolts?”
There are many peculiar things written in the Bible, especially during the Patriarchal and Mosaic times when God dealt directly with man. The book of Psalms is a large book compiled of many songs written about the difficulties, hardships, and historical events of the people. Our answer comes from the 78th Psalm verses 47-48, “He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamore trees with frost. He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.” Think about it! J.W.
