A Good Day For West Texas A&M Sports

I want to depart from my usual posting to congratulate our local Panhandle university -- West Texas A&M University. The WTAMU Buffaloes had a very good sports day yesterday.

It started with the football team, who once again qualified for the national play-offs in Division II. Last year, the Buffaloes advanced all the way to the national semi-finals. This year, they got off to another good start in the play-offs by beating the University of Indianapolis on Saturday by a score of 27-13. They will play Ohio Dominican next Saturday.

But football was not alone among Saturday's accomplishments. The WTAMU volleyball team won the Lone Star Conference championship. They beat Angelo State 3 to 2 in a hard fought contest.

And another sport also needs to be commended. Both the men's and women's cross country teams qualified for the Division II national championships, which were run on Saturday. Both teams finished in 14th place, but should be very proud to have earned a spot in the national finals.

All in all, it was a good day to be a Buffalo.
