Javelina Hash
By Fred Nuesch, Coordinator of Athletic External Affairs
THE JAVELINA MEN’S basketball team hosted Sul Ross State
Sunday afternoon in the Steinke Physical Education Center.
Seeing the Lobos on the floor brought back a rush of memories
from the days when the Javelinas and Sul Ross were cohorts in the
Lone Star Conference.
They played as LSC rivals from 1959 until 1975 when Sul Ross
dropped from the conference.
The athletic meetings between the schools go back almost as
far as Javelina history.
The first basketball game between the teams came in 1929-30,
only four years after the start of the Javelina program.
The first football game was played in 1930.
The trips to Sul Ross in all sports were memorable.
Alpine is a unique town in itself. It has a very western
atmosphere and makes for a great locale for a western movie.
It is surrounded by bare hills that have an unusual beauty
despite being stark.
Often when the Javelinas were in Alpine for games in late
October or early November, you would wake up and there would be
a dusting of snow on the hills.
One of the hills had whitewashed rocks spelling out “SR” and
another had an “A” for Alpine High School.
A group of Javelina fans, who will remain nameless, thought it
might be a good idea to take some whitewash, climb the mountain
with the “A” and add an “&I” the night before a game.
Word was that after starting up the hill, it proved a much bigger
chore, both the climbing and the spreading of that much paint, than
they had thought.
The “A” stood alone the next day.
Close by Alpine is Fort Davis National Park and it was a very
interesting place to visit. The federal government has done a great
job restoring the fort and if you are there around sunset, you can
almost sense the presence of the 1800s soldiers on the parade ground.
A few more miles up the road is the McDonald Observatory.
To really enjoy the facility you have to be there at night.
It is supposed to be a perfect spot for observing the skies
because of the lack of lights from cities.
Just south of Alpine is Big Bend National Park. It would take
weeks to visit all of the places there but just to make a short drive is
fascinating.
On the way to Alpine, you go through Langtry and the territory of
Judge Roy Bean, who tagged himself the “Law West of the Pecos”.
Most of the teams and fans would stop off there for a break
and visit the interesting and historical visitors’ center.
Bean built a saloon and named it “The Jersey Lilly” after British
actress Lillie Langtry, no relation to the man for whom the town
was named.
The judge did spread rumors that the town was named for Lilly.
He had an opera house built, hoping it would lure her for a visit.
She did go to Langtry but after Bean’s death.
Much like Southwest Texas in the old days, the Lobos’ stadium
was built next to the railroad tracks and when a train came through,
which was frequent, it almost scraped the back of the press box.
Basketball Takes Thanksgiving Break
(Continued from Page 1)
Ray Marshall, 6-7 senior
center from El Paso (Eastwood),
had 11 points.
The Javelina women are 1-2
thus far and dropped a 76-58
decision to UTPB in their last
outing.
Meagan Barlow, 5-7 junior
guard from D’Hanis, is leading the
Javelina scoring with a 15.3 average.

upset winner of the women’s team
title.
Midwestern State was the
only LSC team entered and it
finished 11th .
The All-America honor caps
an outstanding season for
Dandena, who had been NCAA
Division All-South Central Region
and All-LSC earlier.
He is also a member of the
Javelina indoor and outdoor track
and field teams.
Stevenson Honored
Inekka Stevenson, 5-8 junior
forward for the Texas A&M-
Kingsville women’s basketball
team, was named the Lone Star
Conference defensive player of the
week last week.
Stevenson, from Freeport
(Brazosport), had 20 points and 19
rebounds in the Javelinas’ two
games at a tournament in Austin.
She was the first league
defensive player of the week for
the new season.
Amanda Haven, 5-8 senior
guard from Corpus Christi
(Calallen), averages 14.0 a game
and Inekka Stevenson, 5-8 junior
guard from Freeport (Brazosport),
is hitting 11.7 a game and leads the
team in rebounding with a 9.7
average.
Texas-Permian Basin was 3-2
entering a Tuesday night game
with Abilene Christian in Odessa.
The Falcons are led in scoring
by Lauren Duger, 5-6 senior guard
from Midland who averages 11.6.
Tammy Acosta, 5-4 senior
guard from El Paso (Americas),
hits 11.4 points a game and
Taniqua Arda, 5-10 junior forward
from Lubbock, averages 10.8.
Teisha King, 5-8 junior
forward from El Paso (Americas), is
the leading rebounder with a 6.8
average.
The games for the Javelina
men and women will be the last
before they open Lone Star
Conference play Dec. 1 with
Eastern New Mexico in the SPEC.
Battle Under the Boards
Javelina freshman Raymond Robinson (20), 6-4 forward
from Corpus Christi (West Oso), battles a Texas Lutheran
player for position in a game last week in the Steinke

The public address announcer had to yield to the rails. It was
impossible to hear anything but the train.
Another feature of the trips was the wild animals on the
highway between Eagle Pass and Alpine. They kept you alert.
Seeing a team from Sul Ross made me miss the old days when
the Lobos, Howard Payne, McMurry, Southwest Texas, S.F. Austin,
Sam Houston State, East Texas State, Angelo State and the Javelinas
made up the league.
Those were good times and thank goodness for memories.
SUL ROSS HAS a place in Javelina history.
When the Javelina baseball team made its debut in 1993, Sul
Ross was the first opponent.
The Javelinas swept a three-game series before large crowds at
Dick Kleberg Park.
SPEAKING OF REMINISCING.
Don’t you miss the Turkey Day Shootouts.
These were women’s basketball tournaments held each
Thanksgiving weekend and they attracted some of the top teams in
the country.
It was started in 1997 and the last, and abbreviated one, was in
2009.
Thirty-three different schools from 11 different states took part
in the 13 years of the meet.
Teams came from Arkansas, Florida, Kansas, Michigan,
Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South
Dakota and Texas.
Four different schools from Minnesota took part: Concordia-
St. Paul, Minnesota-Crookston, Minnesota-Duluth and Minnesota
State-Moorhead.
Family and fans from the northern states enjoyed coming to
South Texas in late November for the sun and warm temperatures.
Some of the schools would bring several hundred fans with them.
Following are the teams that took part in the 13 seasons of the
Shootout:

Texas A&M-Kingsville cross
country runner Kiya Dandena and
Javelina basketball player Meagan
Barlow are the IBC Bank players of
the week for their performances
last week.
Dandena, senior from
Houston (Bellaire), received
NCAA Division All-America
honors after finishing 27 th at the
national meet in Spokane, Wash.
That is the best finish ever for
a Javelina athlete at the national
meet, and he becomes only the
second to make All-America in
cross country.
Barlow, 5-7 junior guard from
D’Hanis, had 15 points in the
Javelinas’ only game of the week.
She was six of 10 from the field
and hit two of four three-point shots.

LAST WEEK’S NCAA Division II football poll, selected by the
American Football Coaches Association, was a strange one.
…..Abilene Christian was ranked No. 11 and North Alabama
was ranked No. 12, and in regular-season head-to-head competition,
UNA defeated ACU.
…..Humboldt (Calif.) State was ranked No. 13 nationally but
didn’t get in the national playoffs.
The team won the Great Northwest Conference championship
and in the national poll ranked above all but four of the Super
Regional Four clubs.
…..Delta (Miss.) State was ranked No. 8 nationally but was
selected as the top seed in Super Regional Two.
…..The Lone Star Conference had two teams ranked in the top
11. Midwestern State was No. 2, and should have been No. 1, and
Abilene Christian was ranked No. 11.
Yet ACU was seeded No. 6 in the region.
Only three regional teams were ranked above the Wildcats in the
national poll.
THE ALL-LONE Star Conference football team, selected by the
league coaches, was released last week.
The first-team offensive backs were running backs Jonathan
Woodson of Texas A&M-Kingsville, running back Keidrick Jackson
of Midwestern State, quarterback Brandon Kelsey of Midwestern
and fullback Justin Andrews of Abilene Christian.
Yet quarterback Mitchell Gale of Abilene Christian was selected
as the back of the year.
Gale was on the All-LSC second team.
THE D2FOOTBALL.COM national football poll was much
nicer to the Lone Star Conference than the AFCA listing.
Midwestern State was ranked No. 1 last week, a spot it
deserved.
Abilene Christian was No. 5 and West Texas A&M, which
didn’t make the AFCA top 25, was No. 21.
THE NCAA DIVISION II national championship game will be
televised live on ESPN 2.
The Dec. 17 game is set for 10 a.m. at Braly Municipal Stadium
in Florence, Ala.
I don’t deny being a little biased, but I have found that the
Division II national title games produce some of the best college
football on television each fall.
JAVELINA HEAD FOOTBALL coach Bo Atterberry will be
one of the guest speakers at the 30 th annual Coastal Bend Coaches
Association Clinic Jan. 21-23 at the Holiday Inn-Emerald Beach in
Corpus Christi.
Former Javelina players Mark Smith and David Montalvo will
also be speakers.
Smith is the head football coach at Kerrville Tivy High School
and Montalvo is the track and field coach at Corpus Christi West
Oso High School. (Continued on Page 5)

COLORADO STATE-PUEBLO, which added football to its
intercollegiate athletic program only four seasons ago, enters the
postseason football playoffs as the No. 1 seeded team.
Football was dropped at the school after the 1984 season and
was restarted in 2008.
The school is the alma mater of Texas A&M-Kingsville first lady
Karen Tallant.
And it’s where former Javelina assistant volleyball coach Jordan
Willis went last spring as a volleyball mentor.
TWO MEMBERS OF the Javelina volleyball team will be on the
tennis squad this spring.
Sondra Cui and Whitney Roth will be part of the tennis program
when it makes its debut in February.
Cui has been a setter in volleyball. She’s a senior from San
Antonio (Steele).
Roth is a 6-1 middle blocker for the volleyball squad and she is a
senior from Gering, Neb.
Another volleyball player, Stephanie Johns, 6-0 freshman from
Lubbock (Coronado), will be with the track and field team the
second semester.
She was a 5-4 high jumper in high school.
FORMER JAVELINA QUARTERBACK Abel Gonzalez
became the first head football coach at Grulla High School in Rio
Grande City when it fielded its first team in 2010.
In only the second season, Grulla compiled a 7-3 record this fall
and qualified for the Class 3A state playoffs.
The team finished second in District 32-3A, a game behind Rio
Hondo.
While Abel had a big year on the field, his father, Abel N.
Gonzalez Jr., died Sept. 14 and he had a sophomore offensive
lineman who died Oct. 23. The latter was not sports related.
Abel became the father of a son, Abel N. Gonzalez IV, in April.
Gonzalez, who played high school football at Rio Grande City
High School, was a four-year letterman with the Javelinas in 1999-
2002.
LYNN FRAZIER, ANOTHER former Javelina football player, is
the owner of Fajitaville Grille on Corpus Christi North Beach.
The restaurant had its grand opening Oct. 29.
Frazier, from Port Lavaca, is the president/CEO of Magnum Oil
Tools International, LLC, in Corpus Christi.
LONE STAR CONFERENCE notes:
…..Mark Ribaudo resigned as head football coach at Eastern
New Mexico last week after seven seasons in the position.
His teams had a 25-51 record and this fall’s squad had a 2-9
mark.
Ribaudo was an assistant for the Greyhounds for six seasons
before taking the head position.
