Out at home? That was the initial call on this play at the plate in the first inning of the game between Friona and Dimmitt. Fortunately, the infield umpire corrected the call and #7 Rocky Barrios scored a valuable run for the Chieftains. Game-time temperature for Saturday’s game was a brisk 28 degrees. The Chiefs beat the Bobcats by the score of 9 to 8. Senior baseball players and their parents will be recognized at the final home game on Saturday, April 21st, against River Road. The Varsity game will start at noon and the players/parents will be honored right after the game. Come out and support the Chieftains and our Seniors!

Xcel Energy seeks to lower customer bills in Texas
AMARILLO, Texas (April 6, 2018) – Lower prices for the natural gas Xcel Energy uses to produce electricity at area generating plants are leading the company to reduce the monthly fuel charges Texas customers pay, a move that will result in lower bills going into the summer months.
If the adjustment to Xcel Energy’s fuel factors is approved by the Public Utility Commission of Texas, a typical residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt-hours per month will see an average monthly decrease of $6.95 – or 6.3 percent starting May 1. Fuel costs on New Mexico customer bills are adjusted monthly, so New Mexico customers are already seeing these savings on their bills.
