Lady Lobos conquer New Mexico in first LFC game

Body
The Sul Ross women’s basketball team brought home the ‘W’ at home in their first Lone Star Conference match-up against the Western New Mexico Mustangs, defeating them 83-65. Despite early-season injuries, the Lobos were able to capitalize on the failure of the Mustangs to shoot from the field, where they turned WNMU’s 24 turnovers into 18 points.

Lobos fall to Western New Mexico

Body
The Mustangs of Western New Mexico began their assault against the Lobos on Saturday night at the Gallego Center, jumping out to a 2-0 lead in the first seconds of the game. However, their lead would not last long, thanks to a potent Lobo offense. Lobo guard Cam Clardy answered the call after those first points were put up with a midrange jumper. This would help propel the Lobos’ aggressive offense into a 15-point run that a threepointer from Ethan Yancy would cap.

Fungus not the cause of leaf damage in bur oaks

Body
Dear Neil, A squirrel must have planted a bur oak acorn in one of our pots last year because we were blessed with a seedling this spring. It grew well (27 inches tall), although it was attacked by a fungus this fall. Should we plant it into the ground now or wait another year?
