Lindale vs. Mabank 7:30 p.m. Friday @ Eagle Stadium Eagles lose close one to Gilmer; host Mabank in 9-4A district opener By Terry Cannon Editor Lindale Head Coach Chris Cochran is a firm believer that there are no such things as “moral’’ victories, especially after suffering a disap- pointing 56-49 loss to the Gilmer Buckeyes this past Friday in Gilmer. “One of the things our coaches are always stressing with our players is we never approach a game just to ‘play with them,’ ’’ he said. “That is not our goal when we step on that field. “I believe we are ready to take that next step and if we want to make noise and be one of the top programs in the state, we have to be able to go into another team’s place and beat them.’’ Specifically, Cochran said, teams such as Midlothian Heritage (ranked No. 9 in the state) and Gilmer (No. 5 in the state’s 4A Div. II rankings). “We’re close, but we are tired of being close,’’ he said of his 2-2 team. Against the Buckeyes, Lindale raced to a 35-14 lead by the half and looked to be in complete control. But in the third period, mistakes proved to be the undoing for the Eagles allowing the Buckeyes to escape with the win. “In the first half, we were whipping them,’’ said Cochran. “But in the third period, all we needed to do was make a play or two and I believe we could have held on.’’ The Buckeyes took the opening possession and marched 75 yards to take an 8-0 lead at the 8:18 mark of the first period. But Lindale stormed back with three scores from Jordan Jenkins (who finished with 22 carries for 212 yards and another TD) to build a 28-8 advantage at the end of the quarter. Daniel Franke scored the first Lindale touchdown on a short pass from quarterback Sam Peterson.

Moody’s said the company could improve its rating by increasing the amount of cash it had on hand and strongly executing on its recent merger with Pattonair. After the merger in January, Wesco and Pattonair formed Incora. Open your heart to music As Hispanic Heritage Month events happen across Texas, a new book encourages people to celebrate in song. “Corazón Abierto: Mexican American Voices in Texas Music,” is set to be published Nov. 15 by Texas A&M University Press. The author is Kathleen Hudson, founding director of the Texas Music Heritage Foundation in Kerrville. “By sharing the artists’ accounts of their influences, their experienc- es, their family stories, and their musical and cultural journeys, ‘Cora- zón Abierto’ reminds us that borders can be gateways, that differences enrich, rather than isolate,” Texas A&M notes in promotional material for “Corazón Abierto,” which translates in English as “open heart.” Another Texas A&M book might be of interest to those who cor- rectly guessed last week’s question about which celebrity appeared in the first “Don’t mess with Texas” commercial in 1986. Legend- ary Texas blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan played “The Eyes of Texas” in a memorable start to the campaign. Vaughan, who died in a helicopter crash four years later, is remembered in a Texas A&M book released earlier this year, “Seeing Stevie Ray,” by photographer Tracy Ann Hart. THE ECONOMIST By Dr. M.

Jackson also scored twice in the second half to help the Lindale offense. The Lindale secondary came up with interceptions by Daniel Beni- tez and Corey Sanders to slow down the Gilmer offense. With 1:14 left in the second period, a three-yard scoring burst from Jenkins provided the Eagles with a 35-14 lead. “If we could have just held on to the ball in the third period it would have been a different game,’’ Cochran said. The Buckeyes trimmed the Lindale lead to 35-34 after a turnover and went ahead in the early moments of the 4th quarter and never looked back. “Our kids battled all night so we are proud of them for that effort,’’ Cochran said. “But we really stopped ourselves all night. I told them at halftime a surge was coming in the second half and they needed to handle it.’’ District play begins this week as the 3-1 Mabank Panthers travel to Eagle Stadium. The Panthers have defeated Kemp (36-6), Wills Point (42-0) and Van Alstyne, 34-7 after losing their opener 17-12 to Bullard. Cochran noted that his defensive preparations have been different this week since Mabank operates out of a Slot T offense. Fans of the Lindale Eagles cheer the team as it goes to the locker room with a 35-14 lead against the Gilmer Buckeyes “It’s very different,’’ he said. “We’ve had a challenging week for last Friday night. our defensive coaches.
