Friesian Horse Inspection Set for End of Month

The South Central Friesian Horse Association recently announced that the 2008 Friesian Horse Inspection will be held Sept. 30 at the Stargate Sport Horses dressage and breeding facility.

Stargate is located at 2700 East FM 407 in Bartonville and the event will begin at 9 a.m.

Argyle breeders Paul and Julee Kula of Wind Spirit Friesians will present several Friesians to the inspectors.

According to a news release, "Rijkje Kula [Tsjerk x Nykle] is a three-year-old mare being presented for inclusion in the Studbook. Rijkje was born at Wind Spirit Friesians. The Kulas have high expectations for her. They feel certain that Rijkje will receive the coveted "ster" [star] rating from the Dutch inspection team. Rijkje is very modern-looking, with a beautiful head and very nice gaits."

The Kulas will also present Joska E, a five-year old gelding, Annemiek Hannah Kula, a 2008 filly, and Teunis Kula, a 2008 stud colt.

The event is open to the public and refreshments will be available for purchase.

Warriors Win Huge Game

The Liberty Christian football team pulled a major upset last Friday with a 37-34 victory over Decatur, a 3A public school and 2007 playoff team.

The Warriors improved to 2-1 on the season with the win and will play at 7:30 tonight against Fort Worth Nolan at home.

Liberty Christian led at the end of the first quarter 21-13 in the game, but trailed 27-24 at the break.

After going down 7-0, Liberty quarterback Bailee Brown hit Jake Lawson for a five-yard touchdown pass to tie it up.

Touchdown runs of eight and nine yards from Reid Fitzgerald, along with a Trevor Simms field goal, kept the Warriors in the game in the first half.

Fitzgerald would add an 11-yard touchdown run in the second half and finish the game with 160 yards rushing.

The Warriors trailed 34-31 in the fourth quarter when Brown scored on a 3-yard run to give Liberty the victory.

The Liberty defense held the Eagles to under 100 yards rushing.

Coram Deo’s Game Canceled

The Coram Deo football team’s game against Houston Lutheran last Friday was canceled, as Lutheran was forced to evacuate because of Hurricane Ike.

Coram Deo is 2-0 on the season with victories against Fort Worth Temple Christian and Fort Worth Lake Country Christian.

The Lions will play at 7:30 tonight against Dallas Prep Academy at Coppell Middle School West.
