Courtney Chadwell – Basketball playoffs are starting in the area, tonight actually. Your

Clear Creek Wildcats are taking on C.E. King over at Dobie tonight. I just want to wish

the girls basketball team good luck.

Mayor Long – Very glad that we were able to name those two fields after those two

gentlemen. It really is amazing how much they do out there. I spent a lot of time at the

Sportsplex, and they’re there almost every time I’m there. They don’t have the legal

obligation to be with their children to do it, so they really do go above and beyond for the

past 40 years. I’m glad that we were able to do that.
