A woman and her son died over the weekend in a two-ve-hicle accident on Hwy. 16, approximately 16 miles south of Windthorst.
According to the Texas De-partment of Public Safety, the accident occurred at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 24.
Angela Erwin, 50, of Graham and her son Aaron Wayne
Erwin, 5, were traveling South on S Hwy. 16 in a 2007 Dodge Durango and crossed the center stripe in a curve in the roadway as a second driver in a 2012 Honda Civic, was traveling northbound on S Hwy. 16.
The drivers crashed head on, which caused Erwin’s vehicle to roll into a ditch on the West side and the vehicle caught fire shortly after Erwin and her 10 year old daughter exited the SUV. Erwin’s son was trapped
in the SUV and all efforts by other motorist to remove the boy were not successful.
Erwin and her son were pronounced dead at the scene by a local Justice of the Peace.
The driver of the 2012 Honda Civic, who as of press time was not identified by DPS, had one other adult and two children in their vehicle. The driver was air-lifted to John Peter-Smith Hospital in Ft. Worth with serious, but non-life threaten-
ing injuries, and a child was transported to Cook Children’s Medical Center in Ft. Worth with non-life threatening injuries.
The crash is still under in-vestigation by DPS.
Services to honor Angela and Awetrey Erwin will be Thurs-day, Nov. 29, at 2 p.m. in the First United Methodist Church in Graham. Burial will follow in Pioneer Cemetery in Graham. Visitation will be Wednesday from 6 to 8 p.m. at Morrison
Funeral Home Chapel.Angela is survived by two
children Colby Robinson and wife MaKenna of Erick, Okla. and Maddy Erwin of Graham.

SportSby Travis marTinez
Daniel Gilbertson rolled around in pain in the sec-ond quarter after retriev-ing a kickoff. He was helped to the sidelines and missed the final three quarters. The Steers were never the same after falling 46-30 to Lubbock Estacado in the Class 4A Division II area round at Abilene Christian University on Friday night.
“A lot of our offense is built around Daniel,” said Steers head coach Kenny Davidson. “He’s a very gifted athlete. The touchdown he had for us early in the game spoke for itself. We just didn’t get enough stops on de-fense and I think we got exposed out there in the open field. Trying to tackle the athletes that we were going up against was a challenge for us.
“Overall, I’m proud of how we battled this year with a young group and es-pecially am proud of how the seniors helped guide us to where we wanted to be. We don’t have any-thing to hang our hats on, because they fought until the very end.”
Graham (8-4) finished its season with a district championship and built for the future with modest expectations at the start of the season.
The Steers took a 21-13 lead after Chase Gilmore’s 21-yard touchdown run with 5:45 left in the second quarter. Sophomore quar-terback Hunter Lanham led an efficient 65 yard drive by completing first down passes to senior Marcus Clark and even running for a first down play on third-and-six.
However, it was all Mat-adors the rest of the way.
Estacado scored on a 58-yard touchdown catch by Cameron Rollison right before the halftime break to make the score 21-20.
The Matadors owned
the third quarter. Estacado managed to outscore Gra-ham 19-2 in the quarter to turn an eight-point deficit into a 46-23 lead.
Vincent Leffall hauled in a 31-yard pass, Jermiah Dobbins scored on a 40-yard run and Cam Rollison ran in from 14-yards out all in the third quarter for Estacado.
Heading into the week, the Matadors made a late quarterback switch after their bi-district win. First-year head coach Joe Cluley, who was previously a coach at Wichita Falls Hirschi, removed sopho-more Jay’Lon Dobbins and inserted Rollison. The se-nior made his second-ever start under center and did not disappoint. Rollison ran for three touchdowns and 224 yards while throw-ing for 125 yards and two other scores.
“We really weren’t ex-pecting to run into this team this early in the playoffs,” Davidson said. “They lost their district finale and when they made the quarterback change I think it really sparked their offense and they showed how dangerous they can be tonight.”
Graham took a 7-0 lead on their second offensive series of the game. Lanham heaved a pass to Gilbert-son, who made a nice leap-ing grab over an Estacado defender, and raced 38 yards for the touchdown.
Estacado evened the score on Rollison’s 21-yard touchdown run on fourth-and-1 from the Graham 21 yard line.
The lone points for the Steers in the third quarter came on Trey Overcash’s return for two points. The Matadors went ahead for good 26-21 after scoring on their first possession of the second half and lined up for the extra point, when the Graham special teams were able to block the point-after-attempt.
Senior Marcus Clark
scored the final touch-down of the season late in the fourth quarter on a 27-yard reception from Lanham. Clark caught five passes for 70 yards in the contest.
Estacado improved their overall season re-cord to 9-3 and advances to face state-ranked Glen Rose Friday in the regional semifinal round.
In his final game, Gilm-ore rushed for 123 yards and two touchdowns. Lan-ham threw for 302 yards by completing 20 of 38 passes. Senior Caleb Guinn racked up four catches for 75 yards.
Friday marked the final game for 19 Graham se-niors inducing-Gilmore, Clark, Guinn, Nolan Car-roll, Will Hays, Klayton Read, Will Busey, Wyatt Mayberry, Garrett Dick-ey, Michael Wilborn, Jay Robertson, Tyler Shifflett, Ri’en Perez, Jesus Gonza-lez, Bowden Bond, Gar-rison Stovall, Sebastian Gallegos and Bodie Stroud.
Steers end season with second-round loss in playoffs
Hunter Lanham (10) takes a snap with Bryce Hernandez (75) during the first half of Friday’s area round playoff game at Abilene Christian University. The sophomore quarterback led Graham to an 8-4 season record in his first season at the varsity level. The Steers fell to Lubbock Estacado 46-30.

Junior High Basketball
The Graham Junior High girls basketball team had another successful night on Nov. 15 against Burk-brnett.
The eighth-grade A team defeated Burkburnett 32-26. Maddie Mandela led the way with 15 points while Sidney Tillotson scored seven.
The team led by just two at halftime before going on a run in the final two quarters.
“We had a slow start but came out at the half looking great,” said coach Shannon Weaver. “The girls did a good job of making adjust-ments and I am very proud of their hard work.”
Abbigail Osborne led the 8th-grade B team to a 18-11 win. She scored eight.
“After a slow week, the girls came out strong in the first quarter and continued strong throughout,” said coach Mandy Cernocek.
The 7th-grade B team defeated the Lady Bull-dogs 32-21.
Maddie Franklin scored 12 points with Reese Cal-houn scoring 10.
“The defensive effort and rebounding have been outstanding,” said coach Hannah Atwood. ‘We have improved greatly over the last week in between out last game.”
The 7th-grade A team fell 29-23.
Mary Lyndel Graham and Hannah Williams led with six points.
“We had a good second quarter,” said coach Susan Davidson. “This team is hard working and plays with lots of intensity.”

Letter of ThanksTo the Community of Graham America,
In this season of Thanksgiving we would like to send a much belated thank you to all the amazing people who made the Graham Regional Medical Cen-ter’s Hospital Auxiliary’s Annual Chalupa lunch a huge success. It took a lot of help from a lot of wonderful people and we would like to thank each one of them. I’m sure some will be left out but we want to thank the following:
• The raffle donors: Skin Essentials, Graham
Savings, Graham Inter-bank, First State Bank, Monte Montgomery, Thayer & Associates, Southern Bleachers, Beyond Faith Homecare, Luxury Linens, GMA Doctors, Urgent Care Doctors
• John Mahan and Chad Land and their crew workers (they brought tables and chairs and supplies from all around town and helped clean up all the cookers)
• Dairy Queen for supplying paper goods
• Southern Bleacher for bringing the big serving table
• GRMC for all their help with supplies
• Auxillians for all their help on raffle, bake
sale, gift shop sale and serving the lunch
With all this amazing help and cooperation we were able to serve around 700 plus people a delicious lunch and make over $9000.
We are proud of our wonderful hospital and are proud that with the money raised we have been able to buy new much needed equip-ment for our beautiful hospital as it continues to provide amazing care for the citizens of our community.
Thank you! Thank you!
Nancy Hays & Lynn Nees co-chairs
