The Brownfield boys’ basketball team made their season home debut hosting Andrews on Tuesday, November 16. The Cubs, a young team, were a little rusty and made some mistakes but they had moments where the potential could be seen in their 46-35 loss to the Mustangs. “It's going to be a struggle,” Head Coach Zayne McPherson said. “We can’t score, we are going to be in trouble. Tonight showed A) we haven’t been in the gym, we had a 40-minute practice and that’s it. We did a 15-minute walkthrough this afternoon. I’m not worried about the execution that will get better and all that stuff. Defense will get a ton better but I’m worried about scoring inside. That was not good tonight and I don’t know the remedy for that when everybody you play will be six inches bigger than you in every position. We will have to find a way and we will have to learn how to spread teams out somehow.”

Unable to be removed from his vehicle, a ranch hand covered him in blankets and called emergency services for assistance. Supported by local EMS, Sheriff’s Department, and Eldorado Volunteer Fire Department, Schleicher and Sutton County Game Wardens responded to the incident. The volunteer fire department sprayed down the area to remove some of the bees. One of the responding wardens, an avid beekeeper in his spare time, applied his knowledge to reach the rancher. Wearing his personal beekeeping suits, the wardens and sheriff were able to remove the man from the bulldozer. Since the area was inaccessible to EMS vehicles, the wardens cleared their truck and transported the severely stung operator to EMS vehicles who were waiting to take him to the hospital.
