Navarro ISD to showcase historic new chapter with Panther fans, community members Gates officially open tonight to new Panther stadium Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Geronimo) – The Navarro ISD this Friday night is proud to welcome the community to the inaugural varsity football game in the new Panther Stadium. The event will feature Navarro as it takes on Marble Falls. The high school stadium is designed to host football, soccer, track and field, and fine arts events. The broader complex also includes new baseball and softball fields, tennis courts, a golf practice range, home field house and spring sports/visitor amenities, and home and visitor concession stands as well as an integrated swag shop. The new stadium also nearly doubles the capacity of ErwinLee Stadium --expanding from 3,500 seats to a space that can seat 7,000 with grandstands and berms. Navarro ISD Superintendent Mandy Epley says approved by voters in the 2024 Bond, the state-of-theart athletics complex offers expanded opportunities for students across athletic, fine arts, and CTE programs. “This Friday, we open more than just a home field, we open a place of pride for our entire community, built right here in the heart of Geronimo. Panther stadium stands as
a testament to what we can achieve together. It is a space built for our students to grow, compete, and unlock new opportunities for generations to come,” said Epley. School Board President Sartain says the district extends special gratitude to the local community and key partners who brought the project from vision to reality. “On behalf of the Board of Trustees, thank you to our voters,” said Sartain. “Your support made this dream a reality, and we look forward to seeing our entire Panther Family in the stands under the lights.” Epley especially thanks the teams behind the construction and design. They include Bartlett Cocke, LPA Architects, and AGCM. Gates open at 6 p.m. Friday. Kick-off is 7 p.m. Designated HOME parking and the main home entrance are located on the west side of the stadium. Additional parking is available in the high school campus parking lots. Tickets are available for purchase online via Brushfire or with cash at the stadium ticket window.

Mammos, continued. Chelsea Maldonado, GRMCS’s executive director of marketing, says the event is designed to combine education with a fun relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. “We started Mammos & Mimosas -- gosh, it’s been at least 6 years now that we’ve done it here at the hospital and we do it to kick off Breast Cancer Awareness month, which is the month of October. So, we really like to have our Mammos & Mimosas event, usually the last Saturday of September. Truly what we’re trying to do is create an event, that is educational, that provides resources for breast cancer awareness or just breast health screenings and then also incorporate some fun types of luxuries, like, sweet treats -- we have cotton candy. We have a mimosa bar. We have a photo booth, we have local vendors here so you can also shop and get education and resources, and just kind of enjoy a morning for women and young girls, because, you know, there is this rise in breast cancer and we really want to make sure that our community is educated and aware of how to best protect themselves,” said Maldonado. Attendees will also have an opportunity to meet members of the GRMC imaging team and tour the hospital’s Women’s Imaging Center. Maldonado says the tours are intended to help ease
FRI. September 25, 2026
some of the concerns people may have about getting a mammogram. “The reason we don’t do mammograms the day of is because we want people to be able to walk into our women’s imaging center -- it is truly so advanced and it’s also very beautiful and we want people to see the technology. A lot of people are very fearful of the machines and so if you get to see it before you actually have to have any sort of screening or procedure done -- it sometimes makes it a little easier when you come back in to get that mammogram. We will have a radiologist here. We also have all of our imaging tech, so the person that would be assisting you with the mammogram will be here on Saturday, so you can also meet them before you would come back in for that appointment and get to know them. And the tours are a lot of fun because you kind of get to see behind the scenes and all the different technologies that we have. So, it’s a great experience,” said Maldonado. The first 100 people through the door will receive a special GRMC-branded cap. Those who register for a mammogram will also receive a GRMC Mammos & Mimosas-branded wine tumbler. Those who participate in a Women’s Imaging Center tour also will be entered into a drawing to win an espresso machine. The GRMC Central Entrance lobby is located next door to the emergency room.

Navarro Opens New Home against Marble Falls GERONIMO — A new era of Navarro football begins Friday night. After more than 50 years at Erwin-Lee Field, the Navarro Panthers will officially open Panther Stadium when they host the Marble Falls Mustangs at 7 p.m. in their final non-district game. Navarro enters the historic night looking to rebound from a 51-49 loss at La Vernia, but head coach Glenn Hill believes what his Panthers showed in defeat could prove important as they move closer to district play. The Panthers fell behind 30-7 after three first-half turnovers against a La Vernia program that has reached the state semifinals in each of the past two seasons. Instead of folding, Navarro fought back and had an opportunity to win in the final minute. “Really gritty,” Hill said when asked what he has learned about his team. “Our kids just kept fighting and showing me a lot about their resiliency and their buy-in to our culture. They never batted an eye. They just kept swinging.” Navarro will now try to carry that fight into a considerably different setting. Friday will mark the first varsity football game inside the new Panther Stadium, located behind Navarro High School. The facility replaces ErwinLee Field as the Panthers’ home after more than half a century. Hill said the new stadium is a reflection of the community’s investment in its students and athletic programs. “It’s just a really special place,” Hill said. “Our kids are very fortunate to be in a community that supports them and supports athletics, and ultimately voted yes on a bond to give them some state-of-the-art facilities. It’s not something that they’re taking lightly.” The Panthers will bring an increasingly dangerous offense into their new home. Quarterback Eli Baker is coming off one of the best passing performances in school history. He threw for 302 yards against La Vernia, becoming only the second Navarro quarterback to eclipse 300 yards in a game. His favorite target, Brody Zoeller, made some history of his own with a school-record 246 receiving yards on 12 catches with three touchdowns. Hill believes the production is about more than Baker simply getting the ball to Navarro’s top receiver. “There were some other times that he was the second or even third option in a play, and it’s just kind of showing Eli’s mastery of the offense,” Hill said. “He’s patiently going through option one and two and three, and not forcing anything, and just finding the open guy.” That patience has helped Navarro develop a more balanced attack.
Baker threw for 200 yards in the season-opening 27-14 victory over McCallum before the Panthers piled up 403 yards of offense in a 55-37 win over Floresville. Against La Vernia, Navarro showed it could lean heavily on the passing game when circumstances demanded it. The Panthers will face a Marble Falls defense that Hill expects to challenge them physically. The Mustangs primarily use a four-man defensive front, with Hill particularly impressed by their outside linebackers and their ability to contain the running game. “They’re really hard to kick out, and they’re making a bunch of plays for them,” Hill said. “We need to try to go out there and be the more physical team.” Marble Falls will present challenges for Navarro’s defense as well. Hill described the Mustangs as balanced and multiple offensively, with a dangerous runner (Hudson Salyers, 94 rushing yards/game, 2 touchdowns) and a receiving threat capable of stretching the field (Diego Aguilar, 18.8 yards/reception, 5.7 rushing yards/carry, 6 touchdowns). Their ability to use different formations will test a Navarro defense that remains relatively inexperienced. Eight of Navarro’s 11 defensive starters entered this season as rookies. That inexperience has occasionally shown. Floresville quarterback Drake

Coronado rushed for 128 yards, while La Vernia quarterback Cooper Null gashed Navarro for 202 rushing yards and five total scores last week. Hill, however, sees a defense learning through those difficult assignments. “That was very intentional in our scheduling,” Hill said. “We didn’t go out looking for a bunch of cupcakes. We’re trying to play some tough teams on purpose because we know the road ahead is not easy in district play.” Friday represents Navarro’s final opportunity to apply those lessons before the games begin counting toward its postseason hopes. Following Marble Falls, the Panthers will have their bye week before opening district play on the road against Pearsall. Hill believes Navarro has checked many of the boxes it wanted to during its non-district schedule. A few remain. “This is a huge game for us to kind of solidify, ‘Hey, we’ve had five weeks. These are the things we need to get better at,’” Hill said. “I think we’ve checked a lot of the boxes, but we still have a couple left.” The Panthers will try to check a few more Friday. And for the first time, they will do it under the lights of their new home.

10 VITAL STATISTICS MARKGRAF
www.SEGUINTODAY.com
Arthur Edward Markgraf Sr., 96, of La Vernia, Texas, passed away peacefully on September 18, 2026. He was born in the family home on August 15, 1930, in Guadalupe County, New Berlin, Texas, to Arthur Frank Markgraf and Annie (Foerster) Markgraf. Arthur attended Old New Berlin School and proudly went on to serve his country in the United States Air Force. After his military service, Arthur began a long and dedicated career with Lone Star Brewery, where he worked for 44½ years. While working full time at the brewery, Arthur also made time to run the family farm, working alongside his children raising livestock and crops to provide most of the food for the growing family. His strong work ethic and dedication reflected the man he was—dependable, hardworking, and committed to providing for his family. Arthur married the love of his life, Margie Ann Jahns, on September 26, 1953, and they shared 62 beautiful years of marriage until her passing in 2015. Together, they built a life centered around family, hard work, and love and made countless treasured memories, all while watching their children grow and eventually enjoying their grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. Their family was their greatest joy and legacy. As a couple, they found time for fun, participating in 9 pin bowling leagues at the Germania Bowling club and the Bexar Bowling club. Several of their children remember the Sundays spent with Mom and Dad, earning a few dollars setting bowling pins (yikes!) before the automated setters were brought in. As the children grew up and moved away, they were always ready for a turn-around trip to Coushatta or Kickapoo, where they loved the Double Diamond Deluxe and Lucky 7 slots (that is until they moved away from real coins in the quarter machines to those penny slots with those ticket things!!). They took several trips and had a wonderful time in the apple orchards and mountains of Arizona. Arthur and Margie also liked to dance the waltz and Arthur carried on this tradition with his daughter, daughters-in-law and even some of his granddaughters at their weddings. If there was a sporting event in La Vernia, you can be sure they were there on the sidelines cheering on one of their children or grandchildren. Even with everything going on, Arthur would find time to take the boys down to the coast for some overnight fishing. Their greatest joy was spending time making memories with the grandchildren, great grandchildren and even great-great grandchildren. The grandchildren have fond memories of riding on the tractor with Grandpa or heading down to the creek in the old truck to fish or skip rocks on the water. Many of the grandchildren remember staying at Grandma and Grandpa’s in the summer to attend a week of Vacation Bible School and evenings spent jumping on the trampoline. At some point each of the grandchildren would get washer pitching lessons from Grandpa and were happy to participate in friendly, family washer pitching games. Arthur never met a cheese Ench-i-la-dee that he didn’t like and his daughter, daughters-in-law and even some of his granddaughters’ baked cookies and cakes for him to satisfy that sweet tooth! As the children and grandchildren grew up, they always knew they

could stop by Arthur’s and they would find him out under the carport, enjoying the evenings outside. He was always willing to take the grandkids on the EZGO for a trip down to the bridge to check the water level and he enjoyed it when the grandsons came by for some dove hunting and a Lone Star (or two). You couldn’t leave the house without an offer of some fresh tomatoes that he had grown in his garden. Arthur was on the go until almost his 96th birthday, with daily trips to La Vernia to get the newspaper and maybe pick up a scratch off (or two), which he would keep in his shirt pocket until they were fermented and ready to be scratched! Arthur leaves behind a lifetime of memories that will live on in the hearts of his family and friends. Though Margie passed before him, the love they shared never left Arthur. Her memory remained a part of him and their family, and the life they built together continues through the generations that followed. It lives on in the children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren they loved. His love of family, his sense of humor, his hardworking spirit, and his enjoyment of life’s simple pleasures will be remembered by all. His hands may be at rest, but the life he built and the love he shared will carry on through the generations. Arthur will forever be loved, forever be missed, and forever remain a cherished part of the family he held so dearly. He was preceded in death by his parents, wife, Margie, daughter-inlaw, Kathleen and his sisters Rosalie Rennspies, Elizabeth Buehring, Grace Riddles, and Joyce Klatt. Arthur will be lovingly remembered by his children: Arthur Markgraf Jr. and wife Shirley, Gary Markgraf, Rick Markgraf and his late wife Kathy, Kevin Markgraf and wife Tammy, Tim Markgraf and wife Kim, and Jana Markgraf. He is also survived by his grandchildren: Arthur III “Trey” (Misty), Christopher ( Jennifer), David, Edan (Danny), Noah (Lily), Chance (Ashley), Brier (Katy), Kelsey, Kayla (Ryan), Ashley (Cary), Heather (Tyler), Zach (Maci), Travis (Stephanie), Megan (Brett), Dustin (Alli), and Jessica (Chase). He was blessed with 19 great-grandchildren: Christopher “CJ” (Hope), Matthew, Caleb, Clay, Zachary, Haylie, Lilly, Bodhi, Baylor, Clara, Charlotte, Camille, Colt, Hayden, Harrison, Gannon, Whitley, Brooks and Cooper. He also had 3 great-great grandchildren: Alec, Bowen, and Hayden. Arthur is also survived by his sister, Barbara Brietzke, Stepbrother, Charles Lenz (Vicki), brother-in-law, Leroy Buehring, brother-in-law Duies Jahns and sister-in-law, Linda Jahns. He will be dearly missed by his numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members, and many friends whose lives he touched throughout his 96 years. Visitation will be held on Monday, September 28th at 5:00 PM– 8:00 PM with rosary starting at 6:30 PM at Finch Funeral Chapel in La Vernia. Funeral services will be on Tuesday, September 29th starting at 10:00 AM at Finch Funeral Chapel in La Vernia. Interment immediately following the service at Guadalupe Valley Memorial Park Pallbearers will be Arthur Markgraf III, Chris Markgraf, Noah Markgraf, Chance Markgraf, Brier Markgraf, Zach Markgraf, Travis Stewart and Dustin Norman. Honorary Pallbearers will be David Markgraf, Ryan Lich, Tyler Ayres, Brett Teschner and Chase Bradfield.

WHO Releases Cancer Survival Country Comparables (Geneva) -- The World Health Organization is releasing its first ever childhood cancer survival data report comparing countries. The report is a five year survival estimate for children and adolescent lymphoid leukemia in 194 countries. Data shows in high income countries, childhood cancer survival reaches 80 to 90 percent but in countries with weaker health systems, the survival rate is around 40 percent. The organization says the report establishes a standardized baseline to track progress and identify areas where investment is needed. Local Typhus Outbreak In L.A. Neighborhood (Los Angeles, CA) -- Health officials in Los Angeles are investigating an outbreak of flea-borne typhus in a heavily populated Wilshire Center neighborhood. The County Department of Public Health says seven people have shown symptoms linked to this outbreak, and six were hospitalized. All have recovered. Typhus outbreaks are increasing across the county with 109 cases so far this year. This is the second outbreak to be reported in L.A. this year with an earlier one in July in the Pico-Union neighborhood. People are usually infected through fleas that hitch a ride on pets or wildlife. Symptoms include fever, headache, rash and body aches. Philadelphia Experiencing Second Potential Measles Exposure (Philadelphia, PA) -- A second potential measles exposure has been reported in Philadelphia. According to health officials, an individual with measles passed through Philadelphia International Airport on September 13th and did not leave the premises. This reported case comes after a recent exposure that occurred at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia on September 11th. As of Friday, nearly 770 cases have been recorded across Pennsylvania so far this year, including 150 hospitalizations and four measles-related deaths. Across the U.S., measles cases have surpassed three-thousand so far in 2026 with cases confirmed in 45 states and Washington, DC. Beef Liver And Flatworms Reveal To Crack Brain-Regrowth Genes (Athens, GA) -- University of Georgia researchers are reverse-engineering brain repair by switching off genes in flatworms while the worms regrow their brains. The team is focusing on dopamine-producing neurons, brain cells lost in diseases like Parkinsons. UGA biologists say the team tested 74 suspected genes by feeding the worms beef liver mixed with green food dye and gene-blocking RNA. That experiment narrowed the list to ten key genes that build and preserve those cells. Researchers say the goal is to grow replacement dopamine cells from stem cells that can be transplanted into patients to one day help treat degenerative brain diseases and traumatic brain injuries.
