First round of golf in just over a year. Cypresswood GC Traditions Course with my FIL.
Hadn’t even been to range. Blew up on No. 1, but not displeased overall of how I played. Would love to not three-putt.
Tuned in to ESPNU for the Under Armour Next All-America volleyball game.
Not a shock that newly-minted

Already discussed during tonight’s ESPN broadcast…Magnolia West’s Myles Jones is in his 7th season of college ball. Transferred to Duke after six years at Texas A&M.
Great to see Jones healthy and making plays.

Hey
@cfbisd
, do the right thing here.
Kingwood Park has an elite student journalism program. It’s very clear by Jose’s account that Arleigh is a dedicated student-journalist who deserves this opportunity and this would be another great work experience that you’re preventing.
After two months on the sideline, it’s a great feeling to wake up on a Wednesday morning with a recorder full of interviews to transcribe, a notebook of info to empty out and a story to write.
Let’s goooo 😎
Happy 1️⃣4️⃣th anniversary to my wife🌹
I probably repeat this fact every year, but I wouldn’t be able to do this job I enjoy so much without the patience and support of this lady. Love you

Follow along for updates!
This regional semifinal slate of games is something awesome.
NRG Stadium with some huge games.
Willis/DeSoto at the Alamodome.
The Woodlands takes another shot at Duncanville.
Lake Creek/PNG.
Low key solid DH at Woodforest with newbies Randle and Iowa Colony.
And more!
When I met with the team Wednesday evening to write about them…talk about a focused and confident bunch. They wanted to make more history and did just that. Starts at the top with coach Lamont Robins.
Well done.
Lake Creek softball dropped its first regular season game since Feb. 28, 2020 today on a walk-off against Kingwood.
The Lions won 95 consecutive regular season games since then. They have lost just 9 regular season games ever, 7 of which came in their inaugural season in 2019.
With all the rain, flooding and challenges last week, it’s impressive that we got all the baseball and softball playoff games in. Turf fields were a massive help!
Shoutout to all the ADs, coaches, athletes 🫡
As a planner of HS sports content, it went amazingly smooth 👍
Fun Fact: The last time Tomball won a state baseball championship, five Cougars made the 2013 All-Tournament team.
MVP Robert Dugger, Eric Dunbar, Anthony Lucas, Joshua Covey and Nicholas Banks.
Also on the team? A three-time Super Bowl winning QB from Whitehouse.

ROUND ROCK - It’s a rematch of last year’s state championship game to begin the 2024 Class 6A semifinals.
Pearland (36-8) looks to avenge last year’s loss against defending champ Lewisville Flower Mound (40-5).

Follow along for updates!
At least in the MaxPreps era of record keeping, the Class 6A championship meeting between Tomball and Pearland is a rare one. The Cougars and Oilers haven't played each other since at least 2007 (unless records are incomplete).
