REGIONAL: Haley to speak at MSU
Charles Haley, a member of the 2015 National Football League Hall of Fame class, is set to be the guest speaker at the ninth annual Midwestern State University Welcome Dinner.
The dinner will take place on Aug. 23 at the D.L. Ligon Coliseum on the campus in Wichita Falls.
The event begins with a silent auction at 5:30 p.m. with Dallas Cowboy and Midwestern State University memorabilia and other items.
The dinner, catered by the Branding Iron Restaurant, will follow at 6 p.m. and Haley’s speech at 6:45 p.m.
Haley played defensive end and linebacker during a storied career with both the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers.
Reserve seats are available for $70, for a student-athlete sponsorship. A limited number of corporate tables accommodating six people with a sponsor acknowledgement are available for $300.
Haley is the only player in pro football history to win five Super Bowls, three with Dallas and two with San Francisco.
Haley transferred from linebacker to defensive end with the Cowboys. He registered double-digit sack seasons with Dallas in 1994 and 1995.
When he walked away after the 1999 season, Haley finished with 100½ sacks over a 169-game career. He was twice named National Football Conference defensive player of the year, in 1990 and 1994.

Bowie, playing on a short rest, held with host Jacksboro for most of the volleyball match Oct. 1, but the Tigerettes pulled away late and defeated the Lady Rabbits 3-1 (26-24, 12-25, 25-14, 22-25).
The match was scheduled for Oct. 2 but was moved. Both teams are now 2-2 in District 6-3A.
Jacksboro got out to a quick lead in game one before Olivia Stewart’s kill and a three-point Olivia Richey serving run put the visitors up 8-7. Junior Abby Reneau broke things open with a six-point string to give Bowie a 15-8 cushion and force Jacksboro into a timeout.
The Tigerettes came back and took an 18-16 lead. KP Rutherford’s kill broke the serve and allowed Molly Enlow to tie the game at 18.

Gold-Burg Football Coach Austin Norman called his Bears’ 35-32 loss to host Perrin a “barn burner”.
It most definitely was as Gold-Burg, now 1-5 for the year gave the 5-1 Pirates everything they wanted for four quarters. Gold-Burg scored on the last play of the first half on a Peyton Epperson run with the two point conversion cutting the deficit to 20-16.
The Bears were their own worst enemy to open the third quarter with face mask and offside penalties moving the Pirates downfield setting up a first-and-goal at the Bear three. Defense by Epperson, Keelyn Case and Barrett Allen and a pair of Perrin penalties helped stop the drive and force a turnover on downs.
Gold-Burg was slapped with an intentional grounding penalty on the first play, giving Perrin a safety and extending the Pirate lead to 22-16. Defense by Epperson and JoJuan Grace after a first down run closed out the third quarter.
