The only major university in the Texas Panhandle is West Texas A&M (located in Canyon, just 10 miles south of Amarillo). It is also the school where my youngest daughter attends (as a senior with a 4.0 average). So I think you'll understand if I depart from discussing politics long enough to congratulate the Lady Buffalo softball team for winning the NCAA Division II National Softball Championship. They beat Valdosta State 3-2 on a three-run home run in the top of the seventh inning.It is the first national softball championship for the West Texas A&M women. Needless to say, all of us Panhandle-dwellers are very proud of their accomplishment. Congratulations!!
(The picture above, from the NCAA.com website, is of the winning home run.)
