Volleyball: Seminole Defeats Fort Stockton in 4 Sets

FORT STOCKTON -- The Seminole Maidens moved to .500 in District 2-4A play on Tuesday evening, as they secured a four-set victory over the Fort Stockton Prowlers in play held at the Fort Stockton High School campus.

Seminole seniors Mikenzie Stokes and Chloe Gonzalez finished with 12 and 10 kills, respectively, to pace the way for the Maidens (13-21 overall, 1-1 in 2-4A play), while senior libero garnered a team high 20 digs.

SHS blazed out to a pair of early set wins, 25-12, 25-14, but dropped their third set to the Prowlers (0-1 in 2-4A) 19-25.

The Battle of SH 214 to be Revisited

For many of a certain generation, no local football rivalry compares to the on-field battles between the Seminole Indians and the Denver City Mustangs.

Separated by 21 miles, the Indians and Mustangs have squared off on 67 different occasions over the years dating back to 1941. However, following the 2004 re-alignment cycle, what was once an annual meeting dwindled down to a rare on-field occurrence, with the Indians and Mustangs only squaring off on four other occasions since 2006.

Volleyball: Maidens Fall to Monahans in 2-4A Opener

Despite hanging close, the Seminole Maidens could never gain any momentum in their direction this past Saturday, as the Monahans Lady Loboes topped SHS in straight-sets, 25-17, 25-20, 25-21 to knock the Maidens to 0-1 in District 2-4A play.

Seminole senior outside hitter Mikenzie Stokes finished with a team high eight kills to lead SHS (12-21 overall) in the loss. Fellow SHS senior Chloe Gonzalez finished with seven kills while Stokes and junior Kassey Gallard both finished with 18 and 12 digs, respectively, in Saturday’s loss.

Slipped Out of Their Hands

GREENWOOD -- The Seminole Indians were their own worst enemy Friday evening, fumbling on three of four offensive possessions in the first half of play and coughing up a fourth  on the opening possession of the second half to help assist the Midland Greenwood Rangers in securing a 28-21 non-district win in play held at a wet and cool J.M. King Memorial Stadium.

Football: Packing Up and Hitting the Road

Seminole head football coach Kent Jackson isn't reading too much into the fact his squad, after playing in three straight home games to open the 2018 regular season, will be taking to the road over the next three weeks.

The veteran coach of over 30 years knows the only thing that matters is the current week's opponent.

And, on Jackson and his Indian squad's slate this week, regional rival Midland Greenwood.

Seminole Throttles Pecos, 47-6

If one were to use racing terminology to describe Seminole’s non-district win over the Pecos Eagles Friday evening at Wigwam Stadium, it could be best described as stomping down the gas pedal and letting the engine run wide open.

Seminole (2-1 overall) scored 33 first half points Friday evening en route to a 47-6 rout of the Pecos Eagles in SHS’ third straight home contest in the young 2018 regular season.

SHS senior running backs Noah Mata and Dylan Stokes both paced the way for the Indians, who amassed 418 yards of total offense on just 31 offensive snaps.

Looking to Make a Rebound

Hours following their 21-12 home loss to Class 3A, Div. II Idalou, Seminole Indian head football coach Kent Jackson confirmed his team revisited 14 specific mistakes which he felt led to his team’s demise on last Friday evening.

By revisiting those mistakes, Jackson is hoping his 2018 Indians will be able to learn from the mistakes made and use them as tools of success in future games, which includes an opportunity to rebound from the loss column this coming Friday evening against former district foe Pecos.

Football: Their Own Worst Enemy

What could go wrong for the Seminole Indians Friday evening, did go wrong. 

SHS (1-1) committed four turnovers on the evening -- three of which game by virtue of fumbles on a rainy evening at Wigwam Stadium -- and was penalized on ten different occasions for 83 yards in their 21-12 loss to Class 3A, Div. II Idalou.

Tribe to Work on Correcting the Wrongs

In the late stretches of last Friday evening’s 21-7 season opening victory over Lubbock High, the Seminole Indians were exhausted. Of course, on the defensive end of a 17-play, 74
