WALTER HENRY EVANS
WALTER HENRY EVANS
Walter Henry Evans died May 29, 2023, surrounded by the family he loved. He was born on May 20, 1932, in Columbus, Texas to Lillie Burger Evans and Leve Evans, the second child of three. Growing up, Walter was best known as “Fuse-e” Evans earned for his quick running ability on the 1948 and 1949 Columbus Cardinal High School football team and as a high and low hurdler in the 1949 Texas State Track and Field Competition. Under new head coach Bill Hartley, the ’49 Cardinals went into the final week of football season with a chance to win the south half of the district title, with Fuse-e Evans scoring the first 17-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. This nickname stuck and was used by friends and family for his entire life. His love of athletics and exercising, especially in retirement, included his daily walk around the Columbus athletic track, which kept him strong and healthy for most of his 91-years. 06/07/2023 12:00 AM

Two pairs of county lady hoopers play in All-Star game
SCHULENBURG – Colorado County received a little more state recognition for their two, playoff-qualifying lady hoops teams this past basketball season. The Columbus Lady Cards and the Weimar Ladycats were the two teams that represented Colorado County in the UIL State Playoffs and had strong seasons that ultimately allowed them to reach the postseason. A host of impact players contributed to each of these teams’ success as they competed in their playoff runs. The Lace ‘em Up All Star game gave the opportunity for these teams to once again be seen and recognized at a state level as a pair of lady hoopers from each team, Bailey Gustus and Treasure Upson for Columbus and Paige Pavlu and Kim Hinze for Weimar, attended and competed in the exhibition of some of the best talent in the state. The Lady Cards got some added familiarity on the team as their head and assistant coaches Mike Albers and Zach Albers led their All-Star teams as well. 06/07/2023 12:00 AM
