PLOWGIRLS WIN MEET AT HOME, PLOWBOYS FIFTH
 |
| Kaidy Ornelas breezes to a win in the 800 meters.. |
Varsity Girls: 1) Roscoe Collegiate 163; 2) Colorado City 114; 3) Hermleigh 110; 4) Lubbock Homeschool Christian 88; 5) Trent 26.
Kaidy Ornelas won the 800 meter run and triple jump and ran the anchor on the winning 4 x 400 relay team. Shauna McCambridge won the shot put, was second in the discus throw, and ran a leg on the second-place 4 x 200 meter relay team. C. Greenwood won the 100 meter hurdles and was second in the high jump, and J. Rodriquez won the 3200 meter run and ran legs on the winning 4 x 400 relay and 4 x 100 meter relay teams.
Editor's note: Comments concerning J. Rodriquez and C. Greenwood may be wrong as there are two J. Rodriquezes, Jacey and Jissel, and two C. Greenwoods, Cameron and Carson. The results of the meet listed only the last name and first initial of the athletes, and since it's spring break at RCHS, I didn't have anyone to clear up the confusion about which sister did which event.
Here are the Plowgirls’ results by event (Top 5 finishers):

COVID-19 NUMBERS JUST KEEP ON FALLING
Case numbers in the US continue to drop as vaccinations increase, and more people are beginning to engage in normal activities, such as traveling by air, going out for food or entertainment, and gathering in groups. US health providers are now administering an average of 2.44 million shots per day. The CDC continues to urge caution, however, as they are still concerned about upsurges that might cause a return to restrictions. The virus hotspots in the country now are New York, New Jersey, and other northeastern states, along with Miami.
In Texas, new cases of Covid-19 across the state are now under 2,000 daily with 1,610 on Monday. Hospitalizations are down to 3,980 compared to 4,700 last week. The number of deaths now averages 150 per day with only 27 reported on Monday. 10% of the Texas population is now fully vaccinated compared to 8.3% last week, and 19.3% have received at least one shot compared to 15% last week.
The state rollout still has some availability problems, but Nolan County Health Department has the Moderna vaccine and is currently making appointments for shots. People in tier C, ages 50-64, as well as schoolteachers and staff are now eligible to get their names on the waiting lists.
Positive trends also continue in the Big Country. The number of active cases in Taylor County has fallen to 347 from 476 last week and 635 two weeks ago. Hospitalizations for Covid-19 in Abilene are now at 17 compared to 13 last week and 22 three weeks ago. However, there were 6 more deaths to bring the total to 380.
In the Big Country’s trauma service area, the percentage of hospital beds for Covid-19 patients also continues to drop. Yesterday, it was down to 1.58% compared to 2.63% last week. The number of hospital staff in quarantine is now 6, one less than last week, and there are still no ICU beds available.
In our four-county area, the numbers are also still low. Nolan County reports only 8 active cases, down from 17 last week. Fisher County has had no cases for four weeks now and only one the week before that. Mitchell County has 8 active cases, the same as last week, and Scurry County reported one active case. There were no new Covid-19 deaths in Nolan, Fisher, Mitchell, or Scurry Counties.
Here are the Big Country’s estimated active cases: Brown, 67; Jones, 44; Howard, 33; Erath, 13; Kent, 10; Nolan, 8; Mitchell, 8; Comanche, 7; Callahan, 3; Coke, 3; Shackelford, 3; Eastland, 2; Coleman, 1; Runnels, 1; Scurry, 1; Stephens, 1; Stonewall, 1; Fisher, 0, Haskell, 0; Knox, 0; Throckmorton, 0.
Selected west Texas counties’ estimated active cases: Midland 552, Ector (Odessa) 111, Lubbock 217; Tom Green (San Angelo) 133; Wichita (Wichita Falls) 94.
Texas now has had a total of 2,351,382 cases (2,326,885 last week), 111,691 active cases (128,164 last week) and 45,700 total deaths (44,650 last week).

WEATHER REPORT: WINDY, WARM, AND A RAIN
 |
| This morning's windy sunrise. |
I checked my rain gauge here in town first thing on Sunday morning and had 1.17” inches. Kenny Landfried recorded an official 1.05” in his gauge in east Roscoe, and I heard reports west and south of town of up to an inch and a half. The entire area seemed to get at least an inch or more, so it's a good start.
Everything’s been so dry around here lately that it wasn’t around long but soaked into the ground pretty quickly. And the next day was so windy that when I went to mow my lawn—and weeds—the grass was already dry.
The wind blew hard for a big part of the week but died down to about 10mph on Thursday afternoon for the Blackland Divide track meet, which turned out to be a nice day to be outside. But on Friday the strong winds returned, and Saturday was worse with sustained winds of 20 or more and gusts up to 40. Sunday’s winds were also strong and Monday’s not so bad, but yesterday was once again pretty breezy.
And today, it
continues to blow. I woke up to high northwest winds this morning and
notice that there is a wind advisory out for the Roscoe area today. That means we can expect sustained high winds of 30-35mph with gusts up to 50mph and more.
Temperatures were warm for this time of year. Wednesday through Saturday saw highs of 79°, 80°, 78°, and 78°. Sunday’s high was only 67° with strong west winds, Monday’s was back up to 75°, and yesterday topped out at a warm 81°.
The forecast is for cooler weather starting today. The high is predicted to go no higher than 57° with a strong northwest wind of up to 30mph under partly cloudy skies. Then tomorrow, Friday, and Saturday will be sunny and milder with only medium-strength winds and highs of 65° tomorrow, 65° Friday, and 63° Saturday. Sunday and Monday will be warmer, though, with highs of 72° and 73°.
There is no more rain in the forecast before next Wednesday when we have another good shot at a shower or two (45%).
