  • Friona Students Find Their Own Way
    Since 1925 Vol. 92, No. 49 Thursday, December 13, 2018 Ten Pages $1.00 Friona Students Find Their Own Way They had a vision. They knew what they wanted, but did not know exactly how to get there. Friona High School students Kessly Salinas, Adriana Ortiz, and Angel Mills wanted to make a change but they needed some guidance and inspiration. They got both in the form of State Senator Kel Seliger. The FHS trio met Kel at his Town Hall meeting at the Depot back in October and were impressed by his willingness to show them the path they needed to travel to reach their goal. They left the meeting very enthused and immediately went to work to achieve their dream. First, they visited with local residents who would be involved with the change. Second, they worked with City Manager Lee Davila to iron out the logistics of the project and to develop a presentation for the City Council. Phase three was the actual presentation of their vision in front of their own local elected officials. The result? Chieftain Way. On Monday evening, the Friona City Council voted to change the name of 7th Street, between Grand and Etta, to Chieftain Way. The vision had become reality and three FHS students had learned a lesson about life. Education is an ongoing process and you are never too young or too old to learn. It’s the Chieftain Way. Council approves name change The Friona City Council hearing of the session, applying for grant funding met in regular session on the Friona City Council from the Texas DOT to Monday, December 10th approved unanimously initiate a “Safe Routes to at 6:30 p.m.

The Lions left the 2017 Division II football national champions, defeating West Florida in a thrilling 37-27 champion- ship game. “That was a fantastic game played by two really good football teams,” Lions head coach Colby Carthel said. “I’m still not really sure we’re the two best teams in Division II, but we’re the two best teams that got it done during the playoffs. “We both had a long hard road through the playoffs to get to this stage. Tonight it was two good teams battling it out and we made a few more plays than they did to pull out the victory.” Carthel took over a program that had a history of losing seasons and turned the Lions into Lone Star Conference champions seemingly over night. West Florida head coach Pete Shinnick had his program sitting on the cusp of a national championship in just its second season. “I’m extremely proud of our guys,” Shinnick said. “Just how they continued to fight and continued to play throughout the course of this season.
