Ex-star high school QBs
relive their glory days
Sweetwater quarterback Terry Clemmer (10) and Roscoe signal caller Jacob
Villanueva (19) were two of the many former Nolan County high school football
stars who participated in Saturday's games at Mustang Bowl that were sponsored
by Texas Alumni Football. Clemmer, a 1994 SHS graduate, led Sweetwater in the
evening alumni game against several former stars from Snyder, while Villanueva,
who graduated from Roscoe just two years ago, quarterbacked the Plowboys in an
afternoon game against Roby's alumni team. Unfortunately, neither of the Nolan
County teams could pull out a win as Sweetwater lost to Snyder, 16-6, while Roscoe
lost in its game to Roby, 15-6. Both games at the Bowl featured good crowds. Several
awards were given to ex-stars, including the best linemen, offensive and defensive
MVPs, oldest players and leadership awards.

pair of massive wildfires in Texas.

wildfires burning in the drought-stricken state. Since Jan.
1, wildfires have scorched more than 1.4 million acres in the
state and led to the deaths of two firefighters.
Weekend rains helped firefighters contain 50 percent of
