DALLAS (AP) — Texas landowners who live along a river separating them from Oklahoma have reached a settlement with federal officials saying the Texas border lies with the meandering flow of the river.

A federal judge on Wednesday approved the terms that settle a long-running dispute involving the Bureau of Land Management and

property owners along the Red River. The BLM had argued the river has shifted as much as 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) in some areas over the past cen-tury, and some of the dry land where the river once flowed belonged to the government, not residents who claimed ownership. Robert Henneke, a lawyer for the landowners, says the agency’s claims amounted to an unlawful federal land grab.

The clash, which dates to at least 2009, had raised

the ire of Republicans who saw the case as an example of federal overreach, leading Gov. Greg Abbott, Attorney General Ken Paxton and state Land Commissioner George P. Bush to criticize the BLM’s actions.

“Texas families owned and worked the land at the heart of this matter for generations, until the unfair attempt to seize it,” Bush said in a statement. “The (Texas General) Land Office had held min-eral rights to this land, on

behalf of our children and future Texans, for nearly two centuries. Texans have always defended our land and our rights.”

The landowners filed a lawsuit in 2015, and were later joined by the state and other parties, after BLM surveyors set mark-ers appearing to lay claim to private land. The land in question spanned 116 miles (187 kilometers) and involved up to 90,000 acres (36,422 hectares), accord-

Durant Police respond-ed to a welfare check in the Sunny Meadows neighborhood on the west side Wednesday.

That welfare check resulted in police asking many residents nearby to leave their homes.

Police used precaution-ary measures for the safety of those residents.

Around 4:40 p.m. police arrived at the man’s home for a welfare check that was called in by that concerned citizen.

They spoke with the man who had told some-

Mike Metheny had numer-ous honors during his illustri-ous coaching career.

National Coach of the Year, check. NAIA Hall of Fame, check. Southeastern Hall of Fame, check. All-time NCAA Division II coaching victories, check.

Officially retired, Metheny joins only two other men with possibly his greatest honor on Saturday when Southeastern retires the legendary #1 jersey that nobody other than he wore for nearly five decades.

The only other two baseball numbers retired are that of his mentor Don “Doc” Parham, who guided the baseball pro-gram before becoming athletic director, and SE alum Brett Butler, who went on to an All-Star career in Major League Baseball.

The university will make the official presentation during Saturday’s 2 p.m. football sea-son finale against East Central at Paul Laird Field with a reception to follow during the women’s basketball game at Bloomer Sullivan Arena that evening.

“It’s quite an honor and

very special,” Metheny said earlier this week. “I wore that #1 uniform for 47 years which kind of boggles the mind. I imagined wearing it that long but we found a great place that is truly special to both me and my family. We have great memories that we will cherish forever.”

Metheny retired from coaching after the 2017 spring campaign, his 37th season at the helm of the program and left the game as the Division II leader in all-time victories.

He finishes his storied career with 1,324 career victories and a career winning percentage

over .660, averaging just over 35 wins per season.

“To have this uniform re-tired and hanging with South-eastern’s greats is humbling and overwhelming,” he stated. “Words cannot possibly begin to express my appreciation to Southeastern. For allowing me to be associated with this University and one of the top baseball programs in America for 47 years.

“It has been my pleasure to be associated with our South-eastern family. The close-ness and camaraderie of our

Jury finds man guilty in child deathStaff report

A jury found a man guilty Thursday after-noon of first-degree man-slaughter for an accident that killed a small child.

Jurors recommended a four-year sentence for 35-year-old Steven E. Matlock of Mead who was charged last year for the death of 19-month-old Kayson Black.

According to a prob-able-cause affidavit by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, Matlock was under the influence of methamphetamine at the time of the accident that happened May 29, 2015 at a trailer park on Leavenworth Trail Road in Mead.

Court papers state Matlock attempted to start the ATV by touch-ing a wire to the battery while the ATV was in gear. Because of that, the ATV lurched forward and struck the child, pinning him between the ATV and a parked automobile.

The child was taken by private vehicle to the Durant hospital and then transferred to Children’s Hospital in Dallas where he died later that evening from head injuries, ac-cording to the affidavit.

Matlock, who had a revoked driver’s license, drove the ATV from his Church Road residence

Settlement: Red River determines Texas, federal boundariesBy David WarrenAssociated Press

Opioid addiction summit held in DurantPress release

A summit regarding addic-tion in rural Oklahoma was held Thursday in Durant at the Donald W. Reynolds Community Center & Library to examine the scope of the opioid abuse epidemic and potential solutions to the mount-ing problem. Organized by OSU Center for Health Sciences, top law enforcement and policy leaders in Oklahoma attended the sum-mit including Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter, and rep-resentatives from the Oklahoma State Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse, the Oklaho-ma Bureau of Narcotics, Tobacco

Settlement Endowment Trust, and several city and state elected officials to discuss barriers to treat-ment and public policy related to the addictive diseases.

“Addiction strikes at the core of Oklahoma families severely impacting their health, finances and futures,” noted Kayse Shrum, D.O., President, OSU Center for Health Sciences and Dean, OSU College of Osteopathic Medicine. “Most people fall into opioid abuse innocently after an injury or disorder requiring pain man-agement options. An alarming number of these patients quickly move from therapeutic drug use to opioid abuse and addiction. As

an academic health center, OSU understands the leadership role needed to better educate and equip healthcare providers and their patients. Our goal for this summit is to spark the dialogue and educa-tion needed to put rural Oklahoma on a course towards healing and away from addiction.

“The state of Oklahoma, like much of the nation, is in a crisis be-cause of the opioid epidemic,” said Attorney General Mike Hunter. “I applaud the OSU Health Sciences Center for being a leader in helping us find a solution by investing in new research and strategies for

athletic department has been top notch through the years and I could not have asked for a better working relationship with my peers. My family and I will be forever grate-ful and continue to be strong supporters of Southeastern.”

Metheny is ranked among the top 20 on the all-time wins list regardless of division, climbing to 19th on the list just behind Larry Cochell who has 1,331 after finishing his ca-reer in 2005 as the head coach at Oklahoma.

As far as victories at just one school, Metheny ranks eighth behind all-time leader Rod Dedeaux who spent 44 seasons at Southern California.

His connection with Southeastern has spanned more than 40 years from his beginnings as a player, through being a graduate assistant, an assistant coach and ultimately taking over as the head coach for the 1981 season.

Metheny guided the SE baseball program through its successful

transition from NAIA to NCAA Division II, and in just the second season at the D-II level he led his squad to the NCAA Division II World Series in Mont-gomery, Ala., and on June 3, 2000, South-eastern earned its first National Champion-ship.

That title earned him the 2000 National Coach of the Year honor at the American Baseball Coaches Con-vention. While a mem-ber of the NAIA, his teams made seven trips to the NAIA World Se-ries and earned three runner-up finishes.

His teams claimed 15 conference cham-pionships and he has earned conference coach of the year honors nine times and regional coach of the year seven times.

He coached 54 play-ers who have signed professional contracts and has guided 35 play-ers to a total of 42 All-American honors.

He was inducted into the NAIA Hall of Fame in January 1999 and the Southeastern Athletics Hall of Fame in 2010.

one he wanted to harm himself.

Police spoke with the

man briefly when he shut the door on the officers.

Police observed a firearm before the man closed the door.

They continued a “good line of commu-nication” with the man

and after several hours, it was determined that the man did not intend to hurt himself or others.

After it was safe, Durant Police allowed residents to return to their homes.

Thursday, authorities said the man is not facing any charges at this time because of the incident.

THE FAMILY CIRCUSBy Bill and Jeff KeaneDENNIS THE MENACE

Hank Ketcham’s THE LOCKHORNSBy Bunny Hoest & John Reiner

Friday, November 10, 2017 5Durant Daily Democrat PUZZLES/TV

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Nov. 10, 2017:This year you are driven to participate in certain events. Holding yourself back won’t work. Strive to discover the motives behind your actions. That knowledge will help you in many different situations. If you are single, be aware of a tendency to attract people who are emotionally unavailable. You could meet someone quite special this coming year. If you are attached, you will appreciate all the private one-on-one time you two will share. You develop a unique intimacy that will make your bond even stronger. LEO pushes you to perform at your highest level. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic;

4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-DifficultARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Note all the energy around you right now. You might be impressed by a close loved one and how he or she handles a problem. Allow more of your imagination to play into this day. A child or roommate could be unusually difficult. Tonight: Go with the flow, and try to have fun.TAURUS (April 20-May 20)HHHH You understand what is happening between you and a family member, but others might not. You could feel as if you have to try too hard to get where you want to go. A partner could be touchier than you realize. Learn to deal with this person’s personality. Tonight: Mosey on home.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You might feel as if you can’t make a key person understand what is happening. Pressure builds as a result of having a different agenda from those around you. A discussion likely won’t change these differ-ences; accept this and move on. Tonight: Allow some chemistry into your life.CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You could find it dif-ficult to make a good decision. A risk might seem worth trying, but seek out feedback first. A need to understand what is expected might help you gain some perspective. A family member or loved one could be unusually touchy. Tonight: At home. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)HHHH You could be enthu-siastic about what you want. Others will respond in kind. You’ll want to come to terms with a changeable situation that is causing some tension. Some people won’t be able to tell how upset you are by a change of plans. Tonight: Put on your dancing shoes.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)HHH You might benefit from lying low instead of getting involved with a difficult issue. In fact, the less said, the better. Curb a tendency to act out through overindulging. In fact, you’ll feel much better if you use some self-discipline. Tonight: Vanish into the night while you can.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH You might be forced to take on a challenge that you typically would walk away from. The emphasis is on your long-term desires. You could be overwhelmed by everything that is going on. You’ll lead a meeting with ease, as your supporters will be present. Tonight: Out late.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)HHHHH You could be in a position where you must take charge. When you do, success will greet you. Observe a tenden-

cy to swallow your anger. You will feel much better if you admit what ails you to the person who is causing your distress. Tonight: Count on being up till the wee hours.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH When you detach from a potentially volatile situation, you discover that you gain a better sense of direction. You tend to be drawn to uproar and chaos. Read between the lines when dealing with a matter where you need to be on top of your game. Tonight: Join a friend.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)HHHH One-on-one relating takes you down a new path. Your interaction with a friend could be so intense that you seem to get locked into his or her way of thinking. Don’t try to convince others that you have the right idea or solution. Listen to what everyone has to say. Tonight: Be with a partner.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)HHHH Know that you might not be able to convince a loved one of your good intentions. Try to look at what this person is doing, and then decide how to respond to his or her behavior. You’ll want to speak to someone who has some expertise. Tonight: Be near your favorite people.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)HHHH Clearly, you have a choice to make, and you will make it. Your involvement with a project could be colored by a strong attraction to one of the individuals with whom you are working. Try not to get your pro-fessional life mixed up with your private life. Tonight: Celebrate the weekend!BORN TODAYTheologian Martin Luther (1483), comedian Tracy Martin (1968), actor Roy Scheider (1932) ***

DEAR HELOISE: I recently bought a new large-capacity WASHING MA-CHINE. I was very disappointed to find that I cannot reach small items at the bottom of the washer. Plus, I have a bad back. So, I went to a pet store and bought a “pooper-scooper” for dogs. It is a one-handed spring-action claw. It works great to reach those items at the bottom of the washer. This has made my life so much easier.

— Debbie H., Springfield, Mo.

AIR PACKING MATERIALSDEAR HELOISE: So

many companies now use those little air-filled pillows for packing, and while they can be reused for packing, I found out that they also can be used to wrap a wrist, elbow or ankle to protect an injured area and cushion it from being bumped into or reinjured.

— Maddie G., Lawton, Okla.

Maddie, thank you for that hint. Do any of my readers have any other suggestions for the air-filled plastic that’s now common-ly used for packing?

— Heloise

ELOPE!DEAR HELOISE:

My husband and I got married three weeks ago. After pricing weddings, gowns, reception expenses, flow-ers and more, we decided to elope. We married in

Houston, and that afternoon we flew to Maui, Hawaii, for a seven-day honeymoon. When we got back, we had a party to let everyone know we’d gotten married, and sent out notices to rela-tives to inform them of our marriage. Unless someone really needs a big wedding, it’s less expensive and much more romantic to elope. By eloping, we saved $20,000 that we’ll put down on a cute little house we’ve found.

— Meg and Brian R. in Houston.

And readers, here’s an-other letter about weddings that was received the same day as the one above.

— Heloise

ELOPE?DEAR HELOISE: I spent

an exorbitant amount of money on a beautiful wed-ding dress for my wedding last fall. We spent thou-sands on flowers, and the reception cost a fortune. Now I wish I had eloped. The cost of this wedding

has prevented us from tak-ing a vacation or buying a house. My parents helped us, but we took the respon-sibility of most of the debt. My expensive dream wed-ding is now a nightmare!

— Julie in Michigan

TRAVEL LIGHTSDEAR HELOISE: I read

your column in The Free Lance-Star here in Virginia and liked the tea-light idea for traveling. But it occurred to me that if you always kept your night light in your toiletry kit when you travel, you’d probably never lose it.

Night lights are now available with LED lights, which would eliminate the possibility of the bulb breaking in transit.

— Matthew A., Locust Grove, Va.

SAVING STORIESDear Heloise: Often I’ll

find an interesting story about someone or an event, and instead of saving the whole newspaper or magazine, I’ll remove just the pages with the article I enjoy, staple it together and file it away. My children and grandchildren love reading about events I lived through, such as the moonwalk, the Kennedy years, the Vietnam War, the civil-rights struggle and other major events.

— Diane S., Trenton, N.J.

Over the past few years the Silo Lady Rebels have made a climb up the fast pitch softball ranks, reaching the state tour-nament, the semifinals and then the state title game this fall.

Two instrumental parts of that success were seniors Kensea Ep-pler and Daelyn Marshall and each will have the

chance to continue their softball careers after signing with Murray State College on Thurs-day.

The addition of the successful pair is something that Lady Aggie head coach Aaron Mullens is admittedly looking forward to next year.

“They are coming from prestigious program

NEW YORK (AP) — Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott’s half-season run from his six-game suspension ended Thursday when a federal appeals court refused to let him play while it consid-ered his appeal.

Elliott sat directly in front of a three-judge panel that considered his request to be allowed to play, but the court issued an order in less than an hour disqualifying him from Sunday’s game at Atlanta. The suspension was ordered in August as discipline after the league investigated allegations he used force against his girlfriend in the summer of 2016. Elliott vehemently denied the alle-gations as recently as last week, saying he was not an abuser.

By the time the ruling came Thurs-day, he had already left the courthouse without speaking to reporters, though he shook the hand of a person who shouted that he was a “huge fan” as El-liott raced down steps to a sport utility vehicle.

Although the league won the battle, the appeals judges took a few shots at the NFL for its handling of the suspen-sion of a 22-year-old athlete who will be sidelined while he’s second in the league with 783 yards rushing and tied for the league lead with seven rushing touchdowns.

Circuit Judge Dennis Jacobs told Paul Clement, the NFL’s lawyer, that he found it odd that the issue was “such a frantic emergency that it can’t wait

another couple months.”“This is not just about

Elliott and the Cowboys,” Clement responded, noting that 100 players across the league had been suspended for a total of 500 games over the last two seasons.

“Unfortunately, disci-pline is a fact of life in the NFL,” the lawyer said.

“They all have an interest in seeing the same basic rules applied to them.”

Clement said it was important that players not be able to “game the system” by using the courts to delay suspensions until it is convenient for them or their teams.

Still, he noted, Elliott would start his suspension as the Cowboys enter the “easy part” of their schedule.

“This is the ideal time for him to serve the suspension,” Clement said.

The NFL did not comment on the court’s order, though it affirmed that the suspension was in place.

Elliott’s attorneys did not immediate-ly respond to a request for comment.

Elliott arrived at the hearing just minutes before it began. He was smil-ing and greeting his lawyers before he moved his chair to face the judges more directly.

In short order, the 2nd Circuit said Elliott didn’t meet the standards to continue blocking the suspension, but ordered a hearing as soon as it could be scheduled.

Elliott had received three different le-gal reprieves as he played the season’s first eight games. It wasn’t immediately clear how soon the court would rule on Elliott’s claim that he was treated unfairly by the NFL.

NORMAN (AP) — When folks give you the nick-name “Hollywood,” you’re probably doing something right.

Oklahoma receiver Marquise Brown is doing an awful lot right these days. The sophomore from Hollywood, Florida, burned Oklahoma State for a school-record 265 yards receiving in a 62-52 win last Saturday that vaulted the Sooners to No. 5 in the latest AP poll .

Brown’s teammates have taken to the nick-

name.“We all cut up and joked

about it, but I think it’ll be something that sticks with him,” Oklahoma quarter-back Baker Mayfield said. “I think he likes it. We’ll roll with it. As long as he’s catching passes and running like that, I don’t care.”

Brown, a junior college transfer, now leads the team with 743 yards re-ceiving, slightly ahead of tight end Mark Andrews. The Sooners hope he’s got something left for Satur-day’s showdown with No. 8 TCU for the Big 12 lead. Both teams are 8-1 overall

and 5-1 in league play. The Sooners are also fifth in the playoff rankings, and TCU is eighth.

Brown is generously listed at 5-foot-11 and 162 pounds. When Riley was asked about Brown’s weight on Monday, he joked that Brown “weighs about half of how many yards he had the other day.”

The recognition is start-ing to come. Brown was named the Big 12 New-comer of the Week after Saturday’s effort and has been added to the Bilet-

Riding the wave of four consecutive state tourna-ment appearances, two more Durant Lady Lions will further their softball careers at the next level after signing scholarship offers this week.

Shortstop Shayla Harp-er inked with Seminole State College while second baseman Taylor Russell signed with Northwestern Oklahoma State Univer-sity.

“We are losing two great kids that have been a huge part of our program for the past four years,” Durant head coach Cody Little commented. “Both of them came in as fresh-men and provided leader-ship since day one. They have shown everyone how things should be done the right way since they have

been here and I think they are both going to be very successful at the next level.

“They are a great example of showing what it takes to be excellent at their sport. Time commit-ment, energy commitment and even educational commitment. They both maintain high GPAs and have set the bar high to show people what it takes to be successful and be rewarded with a college scholarship.”

Harper, who recently picked up All-State honors from the Oklahoma Fast Pitch Coaches Asso-ciation, was a four-year starter at shortstop and finished her senior cam-paign with a .437 batting average, which included nine doubles, eight triples and four home runs along with 33 runs batted in and 24 runs scored.

She posted a salty .510 on-base percentage in ad-dition to an .862 slugging percentage for the season.

“I’m very blessed to have the chance to further my career playing soft-ball,” Harper said. “I’ve had great coaches pushing me and my mom pushing me since I was a child to be the best I could be so I am grateful to them. It’s mean a lot to be able to get a college scholarship.

“I am looking forward to the opportunity and the experience I will get at Seminole State.”

Russell meanwhile has been a mainstay at the second base position for the last couple of years for the Lady Lions and the backbone of the defense with her solid .979 fielding percentage as a senior.

This season she batted .421 with eight doubles and a triple as well as driv-

ing in 13 runs and scoring 23 more. She notched a .494 on-base percentage and was outstanding put-ting the ball in play with only three strikeouts in 92 total plate appearances.

“I’m really ecstatic and truly feeling blessed by all the support I have got-ten,” Russell stated. “I’ve dreamed about playing softball in college all my life so it’s just an amazing feeling to get that oppor-tunity. Once you play at a high level you get to play in a lot of games that are tense and that should help me a lot going into college. It’s nice to have that expe-rience under my belt.

“Northwestern re-ally felt at home to me. It felt like family with the close-knit community they have, plus they have a really good nursing pro-gram which is what I want to go into.”

prevention and treat-ment.”

Drug abuse is the lead-ing cause of accidental death in America and opioids have surpassed heroin use as the most abused and lethal drug.

Oklahoma has the tenth highest drug over-dose death rate in the na-tion, and opioid abuse is the primary reason why. In fact, the state ranks as the highest for nonmedi-cal use of prescription painkillers. Opioids are the most common drug involved in overdose deaths. Every week, 14 Oklahomans die because of a drug overdose and 8 of those deaths are due to opioids.

The first session was moderated by Dr. Shrum on the topic of Addic-tion Treatment: access to health services barriers, implications and solu-tions. The second session was hosted by Attorney General Mike Hunter and included a panel of local and state law enforce-ment officials addressing the opioid epidemic from

a public policy point of view. Local participants included Todd Hallmark, Choctaw Nation Health Services Executive Direc-tor of health Operations, Chris Smith, Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control Agent in Charge, Durant Mayor Jerry Tomlinson and Antonio Lopez, D.O., Choctaw National Health Services physician.

“OSU Center for Health Sciences has taken the lead in bringing addic-tive treatment solutions to the heart of the opioid epidemic in Oklahoma with our Project ECHO

Addiction line of servic-es,” noted Jason Beaman, D.O., Chair, OSU-CHS De-partment of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science. “Project ECHO uses the latest telecommunication technology to allow phy-sicians and healthcare providers in rural Okla-homa to learn the latest information in the field of addiction medicine directly from medical, neuroscience and neuro-pharmacological special-ists on our Tulsa campus. A weekly teleconference passes on best practices in addiction medicine to rural providers on

the frontline of the drug abuse crisis who can then treat their patient’s right in their hometown.”

The STOP OPIOID ad-diction program includes five action steps:

1. Avoid opioids – ac-cording to the Centers for Disease Control, there are safer approaches that may be more effective for pain management. Ask your doctor for these alternatives.

2. Never share – shar-ing opioid medication is illegal and may be putting someone on a dangerous path.

3. Lock it up– keep pain medications locked away to prevent theft and child poisoning. Don’t keep leftover pills – dispose of them safely at a local medication drop box.

4. Reach out – addiction is a disease that needs treatment. Talk to your kids about the dangers. Talk to friends who may be struggling. Talk to a loved one if you need help. Call 211 for help!

5. Carry the drug nal-oxone – if you or some-one you know is taking opioids to reverse the deadly effects of narcot-ics and know the signs of an emergency overdose.

at Silo,” Mullens said. “Coach Lawless does a great job and we have lot of the same coach-ing style with the work ethic we desire.

“Kensea’s capabilities are extremely high. She swings it really well and can play anywhere on the infield or catch, so she is a super utility player. Daelyn can play first or the outfield. She had some really clutch hits, especially in the state tournament. We have high expectations for both of them com-ing in next year.”

Eppler has been a fix-ture in the Lady Rebel lineup over the last several seasons while having the versatility to play multiple positions, but mostly on the left side of the infield.

As a senior this fall she hit for a .434 aver-age with 12 doubles, a pair of home runs and 31 runs batted in help-ing fuel an explosive Silo offense.

“I’m very excited to get to play at the next level,” she commented. “It’s something I have looked forward to for a long time. I am looking for a chance to contrib-ute and think we have chance to be very good and successful.

“I just want to thank God, thank my fam-ily and friends, thank my coaches and thank my teammates. Just everyone that has stood behind me.”

Marshall proved to be a key component bat-ting in the third spot in the lineup for the Lady Rebels on their way to a state runner-up finish.

She compiled a .427 batting average that included 41 hits with 15 doubles, two home runs, 23 RBI and 22 runs scored. In addi-tion, Marshall posted

a .491 on-base percent-age and .646 slugging percentage. Maybe her most impressive statistic was only three strikeouts in 113 plate appearances.

“I never knew if I would get this chance to play in college so it’s definitely a dream come true getting to go on and play at the next level.

“This is a great and exciting experience for me especially with all my friends and family here to support me.”

The current signing class, which is expected to include a couple more Lady Rebels in coming weeks, is spe-cial to head coach Mike Lawless in that they are the first to play all the way up through the program after he took the softball reins.

“To have success you have to have good players and we’ve had some good ones here,” Lawless said.

“The neat deal for me is these seniors are the first here at Silo to play all four years of high school for me and what they have done to help build the foundation of our program.

“As a coach player development is one of the biggest things and it’s neat to see these two kids make that hap-pen and move on to the next level. Hopefully it’s a stepping stone to even go two more years after that. I want the kids I send to college to continue to develop and continue to learn and I feel like Coach Mullens definitely offers them the opportunity to do that at Murray.

nikoff Award watch list, which honors the nation’s top receiver. The Sooners started the season unsure of who would replace Biletnikoff winner Dede Westbrook as the team’s primary deep threat. Now, there’s no doubt. Westbrook was clocked at Oklahoma’s pro day at 4.34 seconds in the 40-yard dash. Mayfield said Brown might be a step faster.

“It’s a complete differ-ence maker,” Mayfield said. “I think we saw somewhat with what Dede could do last year with that speed that he had, but I think Marquise is even faster. I love Dede, but Marquise, he’s got another gear. For teams to have to game plan on that — it’s tricky, because you can’t really leave him on an island because he’s going to outrun you.”

Brown had his moments this season before the breakout performance against Oklahoma State. He caught six passes for 155 yards against Tulane, including an 87-yard touchdown. He caught six passes for 126 yards against Kansas State.

He took it to a new level against Oklahoma State with touchdown catches of 84 and 77 yards among his nine receptions.

“I think he’s just gotten more comfortable,” coach Lincoln Riley said. “We’ve gotten more comfortable with him. He’s able to play more reps. And he’s mak-ing more plays as the reps go up. He’s done a great job.”

The comparisons to Westbrook are com-ing because of speed and production. It was Westbrook’s single-game school yardage record that Brown topped last week.

“Dede’s a little bit big-ger, a little taller,” Riley said. “But the way they play, the way they attack the ball and are able to keep speed up while still catching the ball and some of the things they do route-wise are very similar.”

ing to Henneke, general counsel for the Texas Public Policy Foundation and who represented the landowners.

Attempts to reach the BLM for comment Thurs-day were unsuccessful.

Henneke said the settlement contains three

provisions, including the one dictating that the river, wherever it may flow now and in decades to come, constitutes the boundary. Federal officials will dismiss the land surveys that were previously done, Hen-neke said, and the BLM will issue a disclaimer on maps the agency previ-ously released showing federal boundaries that

extended into Texas.When the lawsuit was

filed, agency spokes-woman had said that BLM was committed to “working with adjacent landowners, counties and other stakeholders through our ongoing planning process to prop-erly identify the extent of federal holdings in the Red River.”

But Henneke said some

landowners have worked land that’s been in their family, unchanged, for generations, and have paid taxes on that prop-erty.

“It was part of the absurdity of the case standing in the middle of a pasture with cattle nearby looking at the fed-eral marker that’s sup-posed to mark the river,” he said Thursday.
