THE JAVELINA FOOTBALL team will get its first opportunity to play in internationally known Ratliff Stadium in Odessa this weekend. And instead of “Friday Night Lights” it will be “Saturday Night Lights”. Ratliff Stadium, home of the Odessa High School and Odessa Permian High School football teams since its opening in 1982, is now the home of the Texas-Permian Basin Falcons, a member of the Lone Star Conference. The football action for the 2004 movie “Friday Night Lights” and later for the television series of the same name. Both made the facility one of the best known in the country. It has a capacity of nearly 20,000. The Javelinas will be playing Permian Basin for only the second time. The Falcons started their intercollegiate football program in 2016 and the squads played in Kingsville last fall. GOOD NEWS OUT of Cameron last week. The school will be adding women’s cross country and outdoor track and field to its intercollegiate program beginning in 2018. The Aggies have had men’s cross country. The Lone Star Conference will have 10 schools with women’s cross country and nine with women’s outdoor track and field with the addition of Cameron.
FOR THOSE WHO are basketball fans, the seasons are closeat-hand. The men and women will begin preseason workouts Sunday in the Steinke Center. And the teams will have only a few weeks to prepare for their first competition: exhibition games against Navy All-Star teams in the SPEC. The All-Stars will give the Javelinas a big challenge before the start of regulation play. The men also have an exhibition game with Texas A&M-Corpus Christi before facing the regulation season. MIDNIGHT MADNESS HAS been scheduled for Monday, Oct.
16.
It has been held on the first day of workouts (Oct. 15), but with that date falling on Sunday, it was moved to Monday. There will be contests, drawings and handouts at Midnight Madness and the fans will be introduced to the men’s and women’s players for the upcoming season. ONE LONE STAR Conference doubleheader is among the 28 men’s and women’s basketball games that will be streamed live on ESPN3 during the 2017-18 NCAA Division II season.

NCAA SPORTS COMMITTEES have been reminding the membership that they will follow all guidelines and principles when selecting, seeding and bracketing men’s and women’s championships. Recognizing there are state-issued team and staff travel bans, any school impacted by travel restrictions is encouraged to seek clarification at its state or institutional level before NCAA championships begin in November. Criteria for site selections will not be altered and teams that have earned the right to host a championship on their campus—while also satisfying all host site requirements—will remain as hosts. For most of the championships, one or more rounds have predetermined sites and those host sites also will be maintained. A handful of states have issued travel bans to states that have laws viewed as discriminatory to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning audiences. Current states with travel bans include California, Connecticut, Minnesota, New York, Vermont and Washington. The NCAA continues to ban championships in states where governments display the Confederate battle flag or authorize sports wagering and at schools that use hostile and abusive Native American imagery. “The process for selecting, seeding and bracketing teams for championships will not change for 2017-18 due to state-issued travel bans,” Joni Comstock, NCAA senior vice president for championships, said. “Our sports committees are not altering their selection processes. They will follow principles used in the past; teams that have earned the right to host on their college campus, due to their team performance, will be allowed to host.”

THE JAVELINA FOOTBALL team will get its first opportunity to play in internationally known Ratliff Stadium in Odessa this weekend. And instead of “Friday Night Lights” it will be “Saturday Night Lights”. Ratliff Stadium, home of the Odessa High School and Odessa Permian High School football teams since its opening in 1982, is now the home of the Texas-Permian Basin Falcons, a member of the Lone Star Conference. The football action for the 2004 movie “Friday Night Lights” and later for the television series of the same name. Both made the facility one of the best known in the country. It has a capacity of nearly 20,000. The Javelinas will be playing Permian Basin for only the second time. The Falcons started their intercollegiate football program in 2016 and the squads played in Kingsville last fall. GOOD NEWS OUT of Cameron last week. The school will be adding women’s cross country and outdoor track and field to its intercollegiate program beginning in 2018. The Aggies have had men’s cross country. The Lone Star Conference will have 10 schools with women’s cross country and nine with women’s outdoor track and field with the addition of Cameron.
FOR THOSE WHO are basketball fans, the seasons are closeat-hand. The men and women will begin preseason workouts Sunday in the Steinke Center. And the teams will have only a few weeks to prepare for their first competition: exhibition games against Navy All-Star teams in the SPEC. The All-Stars will give the Javelinas a big challenge before the start of regulation play. The men also have an exhibition game with Texas A&M-Corpus Christi before facing the regulation season. MIDNIGHT MADNESS HAS been scheduled for Monday, Oct.
16.
It has been held on the first day of workouts (Oct. 15), but with that date falling on Sunday, it was moved to Monday. There will be contests, drawings and handouts at Midnight Madness and the fans will be introduced to the men’s and women’s players for the upcoming season. ONE LONE STAR Conference doubleheader is among the 28 men’s and women’s basketball games that will be streamed live on ESPN3 during the 2017-18 NCAA Division II season.

NCAA SPORTS COMMITTEES have been reminding the membership that they will follow all guidelines and principles when selecting, seeding and bracketing men’s and women’s championships. Recognizing there are state-issued team and staff travel bans, any school impacted by travel restrictions is encouraged to seek clarification at its state or institutional level before NCAA championships begin in November. Criteria for site selections will not be altered and teams that have earned the right to host a championship on their campus—while also satisfying all host site requirements—will remain as hosts. For most of the championships, one or more rounds have predetermined sites and those host sites also will be maintained. A handful of states have issued travel bans to states that have laws viewed as discriminatory to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning audiences. Current states with travel bans include California, Connecticut, Minnesota, New York, Vermont and Washington. The NCAA continues to ban championships in states where governments display the Confederate battle flag or authorize sports wagering and at schools that use hostile and abusive Native American imagery. “The process for selecting, seeding and bracketing teams for championships will not change for 2017-18 due to state-issued travel bans,” Joni Comstock, NCAA senior vice president for championships, said. “Our sports committees are not altering their selection processes. They will follow principles used in the past; teams that have earned the right to host on their college campus, due to their team performance, will be allowed to host.”
