Roscoe Elementary Fall Festival This Friday

There will be plenty of games to play at the Fall Festival.

The Roscoe Elementary School and Early Childhood Center are holding their annual Fall Festival this Friday, October 25, 5:00-7:00pm, at Circle Drive in front of the Elementary School building.

As always, there will be activities of all kinds, prizes, and games of luck and skill. These include a cake walk, bingo, bounce house, snacks, booths, and much more to make the festival a fun evening for everyone. Proceeds benefit the Roscoe Elementary School and Early Childhood Center.

The festival will precede the Plowboys’ home football game with the Haskell Indians.

ALBANY DOWNS PLOWBOYS 49-0

Albany’s defeat of the Plowboys Friday night came as no surprise to anyone for a number of reasons. First, Albany came into the game ranked number two in Texas. They were also coming off a bye week, playing at home, and it was their first district game.

On their part, the Plowboys were still trying to recover from the previous week’s game with Hamlin as quarterback and team leader Junior Martinez was out because of a concussion, and so were three other starters: Ryan Highsmith, Vidal Aguayo, and Gunner Helm.

The Lions scored two touchdowns in the first quarter and four more in the second to go into halftime with a 42-0 lead. They scored another touchdown in the third quarter to reach the game’s final score of 49-0.

With Martinez out, Antonio Aguayo stepped in at quarterback and completed 7 of 13 passes for 79 yards. Jaythan Coale caught 3 of them for 42 yards and Zachary Parrott caught 2 for 20. Parrott also led the Plowboys on defense with 7 tackles and 1 assist.

Scoring by quarters:
                              1          2           3          4           T
Albany                14        28         7          0          49
Plowboys             0          0         0          0           0

Plowboys vs. Haskell at Plowboy Field Friday

After what seems like an eternity, the Plowboys will finally get to play a home game again Friday when they take on Haskell at Plowboy Field. A victory over the Indians will put the Plowboys in good position for the playoffs, and all the Plowboy starters who missed last week's game are back for this one.

The Indians have had a season somewhat similar to Roscoe’s. They are currently 2-6 on the year and 0-2 in district play. Their victories came early in the season with wins over Quanah 32-24 and Peaster 14-13. Their losses have been to Brady 59-24, Stamford 39-14, Lubbock Christian 52-13, Eldorado 35-14, Cross Plains 24-22, and Hamlin 51-7. Top players on offense are quarterback Cutter Medford, running back Marc Williams, and receiver Landry Olson. On defense they are led by linebackers Caleb Wright and Koby Compton.

Kickoff is at 7:00pm.

WEST TEXAS WIND FESTIVAL ENJOYED ON SATURDAY



Local folks and visitors enjoyed this year’s West Texas Wind Festival on an almost perfect day for the weather this past Saturday. The sun shone bright, skies were clear, winds were so light that the flags in Memorial Park were often limp, and the temperature was in the low to mid-seventies all afternoon.

Street vendors sold their wares on Cypress Street and in Old Town Park, and the Roscoe Historical Museum had many visitors. The roars of mud vehicles could be heard at the baseball field where the Plowboy Mudbog was being held, and as the sun went down, the crowd gathered downtown for the free concert and street dance.

This year’s feature performer was country great Johnny Rodriguez, preceded by the opening band of Jarrod Morris. The fireworks show that followed officially closed the evening, but those not ready to go home gathered at the Lumberyard to dance to the music of Kacey Toliver and his band. Once again, the festival was an enjoyable event for all who attended.

WEATHER REPORT: NICE FALL DAYS

Sunrise yesterday morning.

We experienced typical fall weather this past week. Skies were clear or partly cloudy, winds were moderate, and so were the temperatures. Sunday was on the warm side with a high of 90°F, but the rest of the week was milder. Highs were mostly in the seventies with lows in the forties and fifties.

The weather for the West Texas Wind Festival couldn’t have been nicer. The sun was out, winds were light, and the high that afternoon was 77°. Neither heat nor air conditioners were required for most of the week, and it was a pleasure to be outside. We got a little rain early Friday morning, but it wasn’t much more than a sprinkle, at most a tenth of an inch.

The forecast is for warmer weather today with a high of 83° along with gusty southwest winds. Then tomorrow morning, a norther will blow in with a stiff north breeze, overcast skies, falling temperature, and an 80% chance of rain. Both tomorrow and Friday will be chilly with highs of 58° and 55° respectively, lows of 35°, and a north wind strong enough to make it feel even colder. On Saturday, sunny skies will return, the wind will shift to the south, and the afternoon high will rise to about 71°. Sunday and Monday will be similar with sunny skies and highs of 74° Sunday and 69° Monday.
