Second Step: Skeeters, Jaguars, Pirates face big hurdles in area round of playoffs
By DEVIN HASSON, firstname.lastname@example.com
The second round of the football playoffs is expected to bring tougher challenges, but that is especially true for the three Mesquite ISD teams.
Mesquite and Horn will face a pair of state-ranked opponents in Allen and Skyline, respectively. Poteet, meanwhile, draws a Lincoln team that has just one loss this season.
The Skeeters, Jaguars and Pirates all share a common dream of reaching the pinnacle of a state championship, but to be the best, they will have to beat the best and that journey continues this week.
When: Friday, 7:30 p.m.
Where: John Clark Stadium
Records: Mesquite-11-0; Allen-10-1
Few games around the state can match the anticipation surrounding Friday's clash between Mesquite and Allen in a Class 5A Division I area round game at John Clark Stadium in Plano.
The Skeeters, ranked 12th in the Associated Press Class 5A state poll, bring a perfect 11-0 into the game. The Eagles are the No. 6 team in the state with a 10-1 record, its only blemish being a 27-24 loss to Coppell, another state-ranked team.
Mesquite is coming off another signature performance in which it raced to a 50-7 lead before settling for a 50-28 victory over Sachse on Friday.
Skeeter quarterback Alex Cooper eclipsed the 3,000-yard mark passing for the season, throwing for 299 yards and two touchdowns. The senior has now accounted for 37 touchdowns while throwing just two interceptions.
Mesquite spread the wealth offensively. Junior Session and Tyson Gray each had rushing touchdowns, with Gray's 96-yarder putting an exclamation point on the win.
Jordan Bracy caught a touchdown pass and scored another on a fumble recovery, Dameon Gamblin had a scoring catch and Roderick McGruder returned a kickoff for a score.
Anthony Canady had an interception in only his second game back, and Marlin Simmons, Christian Williams, Javon Jones and others helped the first-string defense limit a Sachse offense that was averaging better than 42 points per game to only 207 yards and one touchdown before departing in the fourth quarter.
Allen had few problems with Richardson in a 63-14 victory in the first round.
The Eagles started the season strong with a 24-0 win over defending state champion Southlake Carroll, but as good as they looked then, they have really taken flight since sophomore Kyler Murray took over fulltime quarterback duties at the start of district play.
Murray, who accounted for more than 300 yards and four touchdowns last week, has passed for 1,390 yards and rushed for 839 more and will present one of the biggest challenges the Mesquite defense has faced.
Murray has plenty of help. Oliver Pierce, who started the year at quarterback, shifted outside to receiver where he has joined Kendall Clinton and Cole Carter as part of a formidable pass-catching corps.
In addition to Murray, Marcus Ward helps lead a deep rushing attack that features five players with at least 300 yards.
The Allen defense is yielding only 16 points per game and has allowed 25 or more only three times in 11 games.
While there is still a lot of football to be played beyond this week, the winner of Friday's game will vault to the top of the list of state championship contenders.
"We are well aware of who we are playing," Mesquite head coach Robbie Robinson said. "They are ranked in the top 10 year in and year out and they are really just one of the top programs in the state. I think it is going to be a tremendous challenge, but we feel we are ready. We are expecting a great game."
Who: Horn vs. Skyline
When: Saturday, 2 p.m.
Where: Wildcat-Ram Stadium
Records: Horn-8-3; Skyline-10-1
Horn (8-3) considers itself a team capable of winning the state championship. And while they might not be high on many people's list of contenders at this point, they will be if they can knock off a Skyline team that many consider to be a favorite when those teams meet in a Class 5A Division I area round game at Wildcat-Ram Stadium.
The Raiders (10-1) are ranked ninth in the Associated Press Class 5A state poll, with the only loss being a two-point setback to Arlington Bowie. Skyline has the ability to overwhelm opponents with its athleticism, but the Jaguars have good reason to believe they can match up.
Horn was nearly unstoppable in last week's 56-35 win over Garland, rolling up more than 550 yards of offense.
Quarterback Destri White had perhaps his best game of the season last week, throwing for 286 yards and three touchdowns while adding 110 yards and two scores on the ground.
Brian O'Bannon and Del'Michael High each had more than 100 yards receiving and a touchdown, while Justyn Oliphant had a huge scoring catch early in the second half.
Treyvon Marsh and Jay'lyn Lynch combined for three touchdowns and helped the Jaguars roll up 269 yards on the ground.
The Horn defense gave up its share of yards against a new-look Garland offense, but came up with big plays when it needed to.
Jordan Brasuell and Nathaniel Wagner came up with interceptions and Hunter Harwell and Colton King helped the front seven shut down the Owl running game in the second half.
Skyline presents a whole different set of problems on offense. Devante Kincade is one of the top all-around quarterbacks in the state, throwing for 2,235 yards and 34 touchdowns while rushing for 606 yards and 10 scores.
Jordan Stevenson is averaging better than nine yards per carry and Ra'Shaad Samples, one of the top wide receiver recruits in the nation, has 20 touchdowns among his 47 receptions.
The Skyline defense has been good, particularly of late, and is allowing 18 points per game. However, against tougher competition in non-district play, they yielded 30 points per contest.
"We know the challenge ahead. They are the real deal," Horn head coach Rodney Webb said. "Athletically, I think they are as gifted as any team I have ever seen, but we're excited about the challenge. We'll be there, we'll show up on time and be ready to go."
Who: Poteet vs. Lincoln
When: Friday, 1 p.m.
Where: Mesquite Memorial Stadium
Records: Poteet-9-2; Lincoln-10-1
Poteet bounced back nicely from a season-ending loss to West Mesquite with a 50-14 trouncing of Little Elm last week.
The Pirates (9-2) will look for a similar effort on Friday when they take on a red-hot Lincoln (10-1) team when they meet on Friday at 1 p.m. at the friendly confines of Mesquite Memorial Stadium.
Poteet gave up its share of yards against Little Elm's likely all-state running back Ke'uan Kinner, but they came up with big play after big play, forcing seven turnovers in all.
The Pirate offense made them pay, turning those short fields into points.
Quarterback Tanner Ramsey threw for 176 yards and three touchdowns and added two scores on the ground. The senior has now accounted for 39 touchdowns in 11 games.
Six different Poteet wide receivers caught passes last week, with Rodney Douglas catching a pair of touchdowns and Buck Rodges adding another.
They will try to continue to spread the wealth against a stingy Lincoln defense that has four shutouts, is giving up less than 10 points per game and has not surrendered more than 22 to any opponent this year.
The Tigers feature some offensive firepower of their own. Quarterback Erick Neal had been solid through the air (1,515 yards, 20 touchdowns) and on the ground (636 yards, 14 touchdowns).
Neal is one of three rushers that all average better than six yards per carry along with Monterric Surrell and Derrick Neal.

Mayor Bing Announces AAA Michigan Support for Fire Equipment
Breaking News - Original 05-16-2013 Hits:383 Cathy Nedd
Detroit Mayor Dave Bing announced today that AAA Michigan will donate $23,500 to the Detroit Public Safety Foundation to pay for the inspection of 20 aerial ladders and 4,600 feet of ground ladders used by the Detroit Fire Department (DFD). The gift is the latest in a recent series of recent corporate donations in support of the City of Detroit's public safety operations. "Once again, one of Detroit's corporate citizens has come forward and generously shown its support for our public safety operations, our first responders and our citizens," Mayor Bing said. "The proper inspection of our fire department's aerial ladders and ground ladders was a critical need that AAA Michigan has graciously met. I appreciate the leadership and continued concern for public safety that AAA has demonstrated with this gift." "Our history of supporting the community dates back nearly a century," said AAA Michigan President Steve Wagner. "We are very pleased to present the Detroit Fire Department with this grant, which we know will help save lives." The ladder inspections are required to keep DFD equipment in compliance with standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), an independent organization that establishes fire safety codes and regulations for various industries and the firefighting profession. Detroit Fire Commissioner Donald Austin ordered last February that until a full inspection of the entire ladder fleet is completed, DFD will not engage in manned aerial ladder operations -- unless there is an immediate threat to life. In cases where a manned ladder must be used, every effort will be made to properly support the ladder. DFD continues to use unmanned aerial ladders as "water towers" to fight large fires. "We are grateful for AAA's generous donation," Commissioner Austin said. "Aerial ladders can place firefighters 100 feet above ground, often with large amounts of water flowing under high pressure. Because...
Read moreEFM Report: Detroit Should Get Out of Power Supply Business
Breaking News - Original 05-13-2013 Hits:156 Cathy Nedd
The current state of Detroit's electricity grid is not only unreliable but a burden to the city and its residents and the maintenance of the public lighting system has cause the city to continue to operate at a loss, according to a new report emergency financial manager Kevyn Orr will release Monday to the public. The report is coming 45 days after Gov. Rick Snyder named Orr, a Washington DC bankruptcy attorney emergency manager setting in motion the emergency wheels to get the city on the road to financial stability. According to the report the city estimates a $250 million to $500 million in capital improvements that would be needed to modernize Detroit's public lighting system, funds that the city does not have and cannot generate at this time. "The Emergency Manager believes that it is in the best interest of the citizens of Detroit for the city to exit the power supply business. As of 2010, when the city ceased generating a portion of the electricity it sold, the grid has solely operated as a resale mechanism for its 200-‐plus customers. The current state of the City's electricity grid has been characterized as unreliable, as well as a liability to the city and its citizens," the report stated. ". Accordingly, the Emergency Manager seeks both to limit the city's exposure to the liabilities associated with an aging grid and provide a solution to ensure reliable power to the City of Detroit. For this reason, the city's electricity customers will be transitioned to a third party, and the grid will be closed down pursuant to a phased plan." The Detroit Public Lighting (DPL) department serves over 200 commercial electric customers and about 88,00 streetlights. The report cites the recently created Public Lighting Authority (PLA) as part of a comprehensive plan to overhaul the city's...
Read moreDetroit Emergency Manager Defends Use of Consultants in Financial Recovery
Breaking News - Original 05-13-2013 Hits:219 Cathy Nedd
The criticism that the use of consultants getting paid over a million dollars per month to help craft a financial recovery map for Detroit is baseless according to emergency financial manager Kevyn Orr. Since December of last year, Detroit agreed to pay $14 million to nine different companies to provide financial and legal services in the city's turnaround. In an exclusive interview with the Michigan Chronicle's Bankole Thompson ahead of his Monday announcement of a financial operating plan, Orr vigorously defended the city's consultants saying it is disingenuous for some to be questioning use of consultants some of whom were here before his arrival. "I think part of it is Detroit's been sort of removed from the world. First of all the amount of money that's paid is actually small relative to other major cities. We shouldn't be so provincial about the dollars," Orr said. "We've gotten ourselves into a situation where the amount of debt given ordinary course- the way the city has been running- somebody's got to come in here with a fresh perspective and say we can't continue running in place, doing what we are doing that's taken us to the edge of ruin." Orr said if the city were to shut down today and no police or fire services in operation as well as the water department, the city could not pay of its debt in half a generation. He said the magnitude of work that has to b done in a city that has over 15 billion dollars of debt against a revenue stream of a billion dollars or less requires new fresh eyes. "Frankly in my opinion to have the consultants most of whom were here before I got here and to hear any criticism about consultants that have been here longer than a year helping the city is...

Breaking News 04-23-2013 Hits:461 Roz Edward, National Content Director
(CNN) -- The Mississippi man accused of sending ricin-tainted letters to President Barack Obama and other officials has been released from federal custody, a spokesman for the U.S. Marshals Service said Tuesday.Paul Kevin Curtis, an Elvis impersonator from Corinth, Mississippi, was charged with sending a threat to the president last week after letters containing the poison triggered security scares around Washington. But a preliminary hearing that had been scheduled to continue on Tuesday was canceled and Curtis was released.There is a bond attached to his release, but the conditions of the bond are under seal at this point, said Curtis' attorney, Christi McCoy. She said her client has been framed by someone who used several phrases Curtis likes to use on social media."I do believe that someone who was familiar and is familiar with Kevin just simply took his personal information and did this to him," McCoy told CNN. "It is absolutely horrific that someone would do this." < Curtis was accused of sending letters containing "a suspicious granular substance" to Obama, Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Mississippi; and Sadie Holland, a Justice Court judge in Lee County, Mississippi. The FBI said the substance tested positive for ricin, a toxin derived from castor beans that has no known antidote.The FBI said no illnesses had been found as a result of exposure to the toxin.McCoy called Curtis an activist who is passionate about organ and tissue donation. Her client wants to right some wrongs in that industry, she said."I have a client who is not only not guilty, he is truly 100% innocent," she added. She did acknowledge that he has "a history of some mental issues," but said they are not severe.

This is the very first comic book I every got. I got this when I was around 9 years old and I though it was incredible. It had sex and violence and aliens. I still have this issue.

excellent puzzle
By Kansas Nana
from Pittsburg Kansas
This is an excellent puzzle. My grandson just turned four and the puzzle will help him learn to spell his name, write his name and learn the letters in his name. The puzzle is bright and colorful and very well made. It shipped much earlier than the web site said it would.The best thing is the puzzle contains his first and last name.
nice quality, really big
By Mom2Boys
from Salem, OR
This is cute and well made, durable and will last a long time. BUT it is much bigger than I expected and quite heavy. We do have a long last name, so maybe it is just in relation to the number of letters, but my 5 year old is going to have a hard time carrying this anywhere.

By J. the first time mama
from Lantana, TX
We ordered the first and last name puzzle for our daughter's first birthday. We were a little skeptical on how it would turn out at first. That was until we received our product and were so thrilled with it. It is colorful and bright and will be a great educational tool in helping our daughter learn to spell her first and last name, color differentiation as well as shapes. We couldn't be more pleased.
Amazing product!

I am a grandparent and a nanny so I have purchased 6 of these and will purchase another one when my grandson is born and I know his name in Nov. It has always been my experience that kids love things with their names on them and this is colorful and teaches them to spell their name and the letters.
Excellent quality.
By Christian's mom
