September 17, 2025

Hey, sports fans,

As anticipated, our Lady Roadrunner soccer team made its entrance into the NJCAA’s Division I national rankings after opening the season on a strong note. Our Roadrunner men this week earned a couple of wins before dropping a match to a nationally ranked opponent, and the ‘Runner baseball team is swinging away as the “Fall Ball” season progresses.

We held Media Day for the Lady Roadrunner softball team, where the ladies definitely showed off their personalities as they prepare for their own fall season starting in two weeks.

In addition, our women’s and men’s basketball teams provided assistance at the Lufkin Panther football game on Friday night as part of the program’s community service approach.

Don’t forget, we’re getting closer to our annual “Dinner at the Diamond” event taking place on Saturday, Sept. 27. If you haven’t reserved your spot, you may need to insert yourself into the lineup pretty quickly. The tables tend to fill up in a hurry.

We are AC, and we’re ready to Run ‘Em.

Here’s a quick rundown of the past week’s events, along with what’s coming up next:

No. 18 Lady Roadrunners Enter National Rankings, Upset No. 7 Tyler JC

It was just a matter of time before the Lady Roadrunner soccer team made its way into the national rankings, and last Monday finally saw the team receive its well-earned recognition.

In Monday’s NJCAA Division I national polls, AC’s ladies made their season debut in the Top 20, coming in at No. 18. The Lady ‘Runners suffered a tough 1-0 loss on the road on Monday at No. 15 Trinity Valley Community College, but AC bounced back with a pair of big wins in conference play.

The Lady Roadrunners toppled Jacksonville College Thursday in Jacksonville, pulling away with a 6-0 win over the Lady Jaguars. Anne Vandaële – who leads the team with seven goals on the season – scored twice, as did Beatriz Galvão. Michelle Naderman and Paula Suarez also scored, with Vandaële also adding two assists.

On Saturday, the Lady ‘Runners notched another milestone: The program’s first-ever victory at perennial powerhouse Tyler Junior College. Galvão knocked home a cross from teammate Olivia Sanchez in the 43^rd minute for the match’s only goal, and AC goalkeeper Sara Andino swatted away an incredible 14 shots on goal as the Lady Roadrunners knocked off the No. 7 Lady Apaches.

The Lady ‘Runners (4-1-1) will host No. 17 Blinn College at 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 19 at the Larry Phillips Family Sports Complex on the AC campus.

Roadrunner Soccer Takes Two of Three in Busy Week

The Roadrunners also put together a busy week, with three road matches on their schedule. AC opened the week with a 2-1 win over Miami Dade College Tuesday at Dallas Baptist University. Kaisei Nagayoshi (22^nd minute) and Kanta Maruyama (25^th minute) accounted for both Roadrunner goals, with Shuto Ishikawa providing the assists on both scores. Keeper Hugo Herrera finished the match with nine saves.

Thursday in Jacksonville, the ‘Runners handled the Jaguars in a 5-0 AC win. Five different Roadrunners etched their names in the scoresheets: Ilian Ebersbach (’27), Jhosua Jory (’29), Eric Ortiz (’41), Victor Martinez (50’) and Diego Ramirez (’57). Christian Castaneda picked up assists on four of those goals, with Martinez assisting on another. Davy Smith and Iori Tanaka teamed up in goal for a clean sheet in shutting out the Jaguars.

Finally, the ‘Runners ended the week with a 4-0 loss at No. 6 Tyler Junior College.

AC (3-1-1) will host No. 20 Blinn College at 7:30 on Tuesday at the Larry Phillips Family Sports Complex on the AC campus.

Roadrunner Baseball Splits Doubleheader in Carthage

After Wednesday’s intrasquad exhibition (when Angelina College beat Angelina College by a 10-3 final, with Luke Hamm homering in the game), the Roadrunners traveled to Panola College in Carthage for a couple of fall games against someone not wearing orange and blue.

In Sunday’s doubleheader, AC topped Bossier Parish Community College by an 8-5 score, getting a homer and two RBI from Connor Ficarra and another pair of runs driven in from Marco Bandiero. Trent Pemberton, Jorge Arcia-Palma and Austin Cadroy.

AC dropped the nightcap to Tyler Junior College by a 13-8 final despite a homer from Jon “Diesel” Gonzalez. Jackson Pullen drove in a pair of runs, and Ficarra, Hamm, Will McKinzie, and Billy Theroux.

This Friday and Saturday (Sept. 19-20), Roadrunners Ficarra, Cole Standley, Stefano Ramos and David Wilson will participate in the annual Texas-New Mexico JUCO All-Star Classic at Dallas Baptist University in Dallas.

AC’s next fall games take place on Wednesday, Sept. 24 at the Melissa ZPlex in Melissa, Texas. The Roadrunners take on North Central Texas College at 1:30 p.m. and Grayson College at 4:30 p.m.

Those games will not be live streamed, but fans can follow the team (“Angelina College Fall 2025”) on the Game Changer app.

Baseball Add Camps for the Fall

AC’s baseball team will host some fall camps for both instructional and evaluation purposes.

On Sunday, Sept. 28, Roadrunner Baseball will host a “Prospect Camp” to evaluate future Roadrunners. The cam starts at 2 p.m. at Poland Stadium on the AC campus and is open to all high school players and college transfers.

Servant Leadership in A Self-Serving World

By

Lee Miller

September 16, 2025

When people think about leadership today, they often picture power, titles, or influence. But Jesus gave us a completely different picture: “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45).

That means true leadership isn’t about how many people follow you — it’s about how many people you serve. And in a world that often rewards self-promotion, servant leadership is both countercultural and desperately needed.

Greatness Comes Through Serving

Our culture tells us greatness is about climbing higher. But Jesus said, “Whoever would be great among you must be your servant” (Mark 10:43).

Think about the people you respect most. Chances are, they weren’t the loudest or most powerful, but the ones who showed up for others. Servant leaders earn something greater than a title — they earn trust.

Servant Leaders Multiply Influence

Here in East Texas, we see this principle at work all the time. The teacher who stays late to help a struggling student. The coach who invests in kids beyond the scoreboard. The business owner who puts employees’ needs ahead of profit.

When leaders serve, they inspire others to do the same. Their influence multiplies — not because they demand it, but because they model it.

Serving Brings Real Rewards

There’s a paradox to servant leadership: the more you give, the more you gain. Stronger teams. Healthier families. Deeper community.

And the rewards aren’t just practical. Serving others aligns us with God’s design. As Paul wrote in Philippians 2:3–4, “In humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.”

Three Simple Ways to Lead as a Servant This Week

Do one act of service in secret. Help someone without expecting credit.
Ask better questions. Try, “What can I do to help you succeed?”
Shine the spotlight. Use your voice to recognize and encourage someone else.

That’s a Wrap

Texas Forest Country has always been defined by hardworking, community-minded people. This week, let’s double down on that heritage by choosing to lead through service.

The world doesn’t need more self-serving leaders. It needs servant leaders — people willing to trade ego for humility and status for stewardship. When we lead that way, homes, businesses, and communities grow stronger.

That’s leadership that lasts.

How Can God Change Our Speech?

“We started a ‘no-complaint jar,’” says Ben, 10. “It’s now our college fund.”

Romans 3 says our words are like heart monitors. The apostle Paul strings together Scripture like X-rays: “‘Their throat is an open tomb; With their tongues they have practiced deceit’; ‘The poison of asps is under their lips’; ‘Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness’” (Romans 3:13–14).

That’s not just ancient poetry; it’s a diagnosis. When our words rot, something deeper is sick.

Hurtful words grow from hearts that have forgotten God: who He is, how holy He is, and how kind He has been to us.

So how can God change our speech?

First, God changes our hearts. New words begin with a new center. The good news, that Jesus offers eternal life as a gift by faith alone in Him alone, does what a thesaurus cannot. It gives us a new heart that wants to please God. When we trust Jesus, He forgives us and places His Spirit within us. New roots, new fruit. A heart that has tasted mercy starts to speak mercy.

Second, God restores the “fear of God” to our eyes. Fear of God isn’t terror that makes us run away; it’s awe that makes us walk carefully and kindly. When God is big in our eyes, we treat His image-bearers with care. We pause before sarcasm. We choose truth over spin. Awe edits our sentences.

“I asked if mouths have a backspace key,” says Sienna, 8. “Dad said it’s called ‘pause.’”

Third, God teaches us the way of peace. Paul says the ungodly “have not known” it. In Christ we get to learn it by apologizing quickly, forgiving freely, and using words to build rather than break. Peace is not silence at any cost; it’s saying the right thing in the right way at the right time.

Here are simple steps kids and families can practice this week:

Pause and pray. When you feel the complaint, the comeback, or the half-truth rising, stop. A ten-second prayer can save a ten-minute mess.

Tell the truth in love. Deceit is the old way. The new way is honest words delivered with a warm tone and humble posture. Truth plus love equals light.

Replace the complaint with gratitude. Replace gossip with a specific encouragement.

Repair quickly. If a sharp word slips out, own it with “Will you forgive me?” Repair is part of the way of peace.

Practice praise. Make a game of catching family members doing something good. Praise is fertilizer for peace.

Choose quiet when needed. Sometimes the most faithful sentence is silence while you cool down. Jesus wasn’t afraid to be quiet when quiet honored His Father.

Why does this matter? Because changed speech shows the world what God is like. Only a heart trained by grace can bless an enemy, apologize first, or tell hard truth gently. Our words become signposts pointing away from us and toward a faithful Savior.

God doesn’t hand us a nicer dictionary; He gives us a new direction. He lifts our eyes to Himself, settles our hearts with His mercy, and trains our tongues to follow. Little by little, grumbling turns to gratitude, boasting to blessing, tearing down to building up. He fills the heart, and the heart fills the mouth.

Think About This: Hurtful words grow from forgetful hearts; grateful hearts grow peaceful words.

Memorize This Truth: Romans 3:13-14 previously quoted.

Ask This Question: What is one small habit you can start today that will help your mouth speak peace?

Lloyd Street Signal to Remain Pending Study

NACOGDOCHES, Texas – The Texas Department of Transportation is suspending plans to remove the traffic signal at the intersection of BUS 59/North Street and Lloyd Street in Nacogdoches for the time being pending additional study.

TxDOT will work with a consultant in the near future to perform an in-depth study of traffic patterns along the entire BUS 59 corridor in Nacogdoches to develop a comprehensive solution to update aging infrastructure items like the Lloyd Street signal and reduce congestion along the roadway.

The decision to leave the signal in place pending the study’s results was made based on input from Nacogdoches citizens, city officials, and stakeholders. Capital improvement projects both in progress and planned at Stephen F. Austin State University, were also taken into consideration.

“We wanted to hear from Nacogdoches residents about this proposal,” said Tim Monzingo, Public Information Officer for the Lufkin District. “This is us listening.”

From June 17 through July 3, 2025, TxDOT received 20 comments from the public expressing both support and opposition for removing the signal. Several common themes were apparent in the comments from both sides, including traffic safety, the impact on schools and surrounding businesses, pedestrian safety and traffic flow.

“Re-evaluating the entire corridor will help us better address these issues at Lloyd Street and elsewhere on North Street,” Monzingo said.

A timeline for the study is being developed, and additional information about it will be released later.

“We appreciate everyone who took time to work with us and weigh in on this project,” Monzingo said.

Capitol Update: Honoring Heroes, Shaping Texas’s Future

In the wake of the 24^th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks that stole almost 3,000 American lives, we reflect on the selfless courage of the first responders who rushed into harm’s way to save countless others. Though we mourn the fearless men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice that solemn September morning, we reaffirm our gratitude to all of the brave men and women who wear the uniform and badge today. Together, we can reclaim the spirit and unity that followed 9/11 and honor those who lost their lives. God bless their sacrifice; God bless their memory; and may God continue to bless the United States of America.

With that, here’s an update from your State Capitol…

Capitol Update

With the conclusion of the 2^nd Special Session of the 89^th Legislature, we will begin to examine the 17 constitutional amendments passed by the Legislature during the 89^th Legislative Session that will be voted on during the November 4^th Legislative Session. Recently, the Secretary of State’s Office drew the ballot order for the 17 proposed constitutional amendments, and this week, we will examine Propositions 1 & 2.

Proposition 1 proposes an amendment creating the permanent technical institution infrastructure fund and the available workforce education fund to provide a dedicated source of funding for the Texas State Technical College System, the statewide system of campuses that provide vocational education. Income from the fund would be available each year, to support and grow TSTC campuses. I was proud to support the legislation that created this amendment, and I look forward to supporting it on the November ballot.

Proposition 2 proposes an amendment prohibiting the legislature from taxing the realized or unrealized capital gains of an individual, family, estate, or trust. Our constitution currently prohibits a personal income tax, but there is no explicit prohibition against a tax on capital gains. Therefore, without the amendment, a future legislature could potentially enact a tax on capital gains, which could significantly impact Texas’s pro business environment. I was also proud to support the legislation that created this amendment, and I look forward to supporting it on the November ballot.

The mobile office is still on the road this month, and our District Director looks forward to seeing you on September 17 at the Houston County Courthouse Annex in Crockett from 9:30-11:30am, or at the Trinity County Courthouse in Groveton from 1:30-3:30pm.

As always, please do not hesitate to contact my office if we can help you in any way. My district office may be reached at (936) 634-2762 and our Capitol office at (512) 463-0508. Additionally, I welcome you to follow along on my Official Facebook Page, where I will post regular updates on what’s happening in your State Capitol and share information that could be useful to you and your family: https://www.facebook.com/RepTrentAshby/.

Fall is the Season for Fungal Problems in the Lawn

By

Cary Sims

September 12, 2025

A dear friend of our family, Mark, loves to mow and care for his lawn. This past week, he sent me pictures of yellowing patches in various areas of his lawn. He said they are not necessarily in circles, but the tops turned yellow. When he rakes the area, the blades of grass come up as though they are rotten while the roots remain intact.

Is this normal? It can be and, oddly enough, is more common in pampered lawns rather than in those who are not.

Fall weather patters of cooling temperatures and heavy dews find many East Texas homeowners noticing irregular patches of yellow or brown grass that seem to expand overnight. At this time of year, fungal diseases are often the culprit, and two in particular—brown patch and take-all root rot—cause the most concern in our area.

Researchers with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension explain that fungi thrive when soil temperatures fall below 80°F and moisture lingers. September and October often provide exactly those conditions: warm days, cool nights, and frequent rainfall or dew. If your lawn is made up of St. Augustine grass, zoysia grass, or even bermudagrass in shady areas, the environment is perfect for fungal outbreaks.

Our part of the world loves St. Augustine grass, has plenty of trees to provide some shade, and the weather is in the perfect condition – all leading up to problems in too many lawns.

The disease most homeowners, including Mark, encounter is brown patch, caused by the fungus Rhizoctonia solani. Symptoms include circular or irregular patches of yellowing turf, ranging from a few inches to several feet across. Studying the area further, you can find individual blades with rotted areas near the leaf base. Lastly, the grass can be pulled easily from stolons (runners) because the tissue at the crown has rotted.

Some good news is that brown patch is primarily a leaf and crown disease and does not usually kill the entire root system, so turf often recovers when conditions dry. Still, repeated infections weaken the lawn, leaving it thin going into winter.

The second major disease, take-all root rot (Gaeumannomyces graminis), can also show up in the fall but often becomes visible in spring after cool-season stresses. Unlike brown patch, take-all is a root disease, leaving grass yellow, stunted, and prone to death in patches that do not recover easily. St. Augustine grass is especially vulnerable, but all types may be susceptible.

Research from several universities highlight more than a few cultural practices that make fungal problems worse. Top of the list is late-season nitrogen fertilization. High nitrogen in September encourages lush, tender growth that fungi readily attack. While “winter-izer fertilizer” can be a good thing, too much and you will be setting your lawn up for problems.

Next is excessive irrigation coupled with poor drainage. Watering when it gets dry is a smart practice. However, watering late in the day, worst yet in the evening, will leave water standing overnight, keeping leaves wet, and absolutely fuels fungal growth.

Dense shade and poor air circulation are another contributing factor. We love our trees in East Texas and are blessed to have them. Yet lawns in tree-heavy areas stay damp longer, providing ideal conditions.

Heavy thatch buildup. Thatch is the dense layer of dead and living shoots, stems, roots, and other organic matter that builds up between the grass blades and the soil surface. Though completely organic, it holds moisture at the crown of the grass and harbors fungal spores.

While all these factors work against you, there is still plenty you can do. The best management strategies are preventive, not reactive. AgriLife turfgrass specialists recommend adjusting fertilizer timing. Skip heavy nitrogen applications after early September. Instead, if your soil test calls for it, apply potassium (0-0-60) to strengthen your turf for winter.

Water wisely. Irrigate deeply but infrequently, and always in the morning so leaves dry quickly. An overly simplified rule of thumb is to ensure that your lawn gets one inch of water per week. If you get one or more inches of rain, then no need to irrigate.

And when you do water, water only in the morning and, if possible, only two days each week.

Mow at the right height. Keep St. Augustine at 3–4 inches to reduce stress and never remove more than one-third of the blade at once. This 3-4 inch height is certainly much higher than most folks like, but taller blades of grass encourage deeper roots and will reduce water stress.

Reduce shade if practical and thatch if possible. Prune trees for better air flow and dethatch if buildup exceeds ½ inch.

Consider fungicides when needed. If your lawn has a history of severe brown patch and weather forecasts predict prolonged cool, wet conditions, preventive fungicide applications may be justified. Fungicides are most effective when applied at the very first signs of disease, not after large areas are already damaged. Products with active ingredients such as azoxystrobin, propiconazole, or myclobutanil are commonly recommended, but always follow label directions carefully.

I love fall and my friend Mark loves tending his lawn. But while fall is a wonderful season in East Texas, it’s also the prime time for fungal diseases to appear in lawns. Knowing what to look for and managing your turf wisely can make the difference between a green lawn in spring and one struggling to recover.
