Lady Dragons go
0-3 in tournament
Kate Srader comes up for breath as she strokes her way to a first-place finish in the 100-yard butterfly event
during the meet. The Nacogdoches High School senior swam a slightly slower pace than her seed lap, finishing in
a time of 1:04.2.
Members of the Nacogdoches team hold a numbered board indicating
the lap number during the girls 500-yard freestyle event Saturday
during the district meet. Placing the board under the water where the
swimmer can see it as they approach keeps them mindful of how far
they have to go in the race.
The Nacogdoches Lady Dragon soccer
team went 0-3 in the Lady Wildcat Classic
this weekend.
The Lady Dragons scored just one goal
in the three games.
Morgan Farrell scored off a cornerkick
by Jenna McCarty.
“This weekend obviously did not turn
out the way we would have liked, but this
is all a part of the process in getting ready
for district play,” coach Gari Dial said.
“We did see what seemed to work well for
us and have made some adjustments in
positions to hopefully fill in those areas
where we are lacking.
“Our last game against Whitehouse
was by far our best game and if we can
carry that intensity and play into this
coming week we will be happy”
Softball
Umpiring school
scheduled in Lufkin
Dragon senior Jenny Baker turns her face upwards for a breath during the 100-yard freestyle event during the
district meet in Nacogdoches. Baker swam a slightly slower pace than her qualifying time but still came out with
first place in the event in a time of 1:02.64.
Nacogdoches sophomore Kasey Mooneyham gets a hug from her stepfather, Ron Yoder, after her fifth-place finish in the 500-yard freestyle
event during the District 18-4A Swimming and Diving Championship at
the Lehmann Swim Center. Normally a sprinter specializing in the 50and 100-yard freestyle events, the meet Saturday was her first foray
into a distance race, she said.
The Lufkin Parks and Recreation Department, TASO and Texas ASA will host
a state softball umpiring developmental
school on Feb. 12 at the Downtown Recreation Center.
The clinic will run from 8:30 a.m.-3 p.m.
and cost is $50 for ASA and $65 for TASO
and ASA. Registration will be higher the
day of the event.
Anyone interested in umpiring softball
needs to attend the school. For more information, contact Mike Akridge at 633-0250

Midfielder Kylie Louw is a powerhouse on the Ladyjack soccer team. The Johannesburg, South Africa, native came to the U.S. to be challenged by a
higher level of play and will be heading to England next year as a member of the 2012 South African Olympic women’s soccer team.

ylie Louw left her native land in
search of a more competitive soccer
game.
Successful in her venture, she’ll return
next summer as a member of South Africa’s first Olympic soccer team.
Louw is a 5-6 junior mid-fielder whose road to America, to
Texas and finally to Stephen F. Austin’s soccer program consisted of chasing and fulfilling dreams that began with joining a
boys’ league as a 4-year-old and progressing to the point where
she came to the land of opportunity for more
challenges.
While becoming SFA’s and the Southland
Conference’s premier player, she has also
competed with her national team in

league until her early teens.
“They decided the chance for injury was
too big — that the boys were playing too aggressively,” she said. “I wasn’t able to compete.”
She was selected to join a sports academy — the Tuks Combined School — in Pretoria, South Africa, where she was one
of 20 female soccer players who attended school and practiced
and played soccer. The academy offered other sports, including men’s soccer, swimming and track, in an educational and
athletic setting similar to a college.
“We’d walk out our dorm rooms, and within 100 yards, there
were 16 soccer fields,” she said.
She eventually attended the University of Johannesburg for a
year and worked and joined a team in Luso.

COLLEGE STATION — Texas A&M hasn’t been
able to throw the ball deep all season.
On Saturday the Aggies finally discovered
that aspect of their game and it propelled
an already potent offense to its best performance of the year.
Ryan Tannehill threw for 415 yards and a
career-high six touchdown passes and Ryan
Swope caught four of them, also a careerbest, to lead No. 21 Texas A&M to a 55-28
win over No. 20 Baylor.
The Bears got within six points after a
touchdown run by Terrance Ganaway in
third quarter, but the Aggies scored 21
straight to take a 55-28 lead with about six
minutes remaining in the game.
Swope’s fourth touchdown his second 68yard reception of the game was the first in
that span. He finished with 206 yards receiving and also had a 68-yard TD reception in
the second quarter. He also scored on receptions of 8 and 5 yards.
Texas A&M finished with a season-high
681 yards of offense.
Swope said getting the downfield passing
game going was key in the win.
“That gave us so much energy,” he said.
“We’ve been waiting all season. We practice
it and we finally did it today.”
Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman raved
about Swope.
“He just keeps getting better and better,” Sherman said. “He’s a fierce competitor. He will do whatever he can to win the
football game.”
Baylor star quarterback Robert Griffin III threw for a school-record 430 yards
and three touchdowns, but the Bears had
trouble running the ball and were outgained
266-50 on the ground. Griffin is the third
quarterback this season to set a school record against the Aggies’ worst-in-the-nation
pass defense.
He seemed to imply that a game like this
could cause a wedge between the offense
and defense.
“There’s no dissent within the team, but
you can’t sit on the sideline and be a critic,”
he said. “It’s not your job as an offensive
player. It’s our job to try to help the defense
