The Chieftains hit three homeruns Monday on the way to an 18-8 win over Sanford Fritch. Josh Barnett (12) is congratulated by teammates after he hit a three run homer over the centerfield fence. Hunter Sundre and Brayden Pope also had homeruns. The Chiefs start playoff action vs. the Littlefield Wildcats with a Friday game at Littlefield and a second game at the Chieftain Ball Park starting at noon Saturday. A third game will follow 30 minutes later if necessary. Good luck Chieftains. The Chiefs will be without starting pitcher Mason Loflin who broke his leg in the Fritch game. More photos from the Fritch game in our photo section.

We prayed for rain and got two days of wind and dirt. Maybe we should pray for some wind and dirt and see if we get rain. Saturday and Sunday the Panhandle was pounded with high winds and blowing dirt. Friona reportedly recorded a wind gust of 58 mph according to Amarillo TV.
