Everything was clicking for Wagner.
Every player scored at least one bucket, and the Thunderbirds’ suffocating defense flustered Southwest all night in a 91-27 victory in the second round of the Class 5A Division I girls basketball playoffs Friday at Alamo Convocation Center.
Wagner (34-0) kept its perfect season intact and matched its win total from last season in the process. The District 26-5A champions take on Corpus Christi Veterans Memorial in the regional semifinals next week.

MacArthur shrugged off a slow start and sprinted into the second round Tuesday with a 67-45 win over Sam Houston in a Class 5A Division II girls basketball playoff opener at Littleton Gym.
MacArthur senior guard Ellie Lee led the way with 20 points, and the Brahmas surged ahead in the second quarter to grab a lead they never relinquished.
MacArthur (30-5) stormed into the playoffs with a 17-game winning streak. Now, the Brahmas have a chance to improve on their playoff run from a year ago, in...

Since 2002, the San Antonio Spurs have called Frost Bank Center on the east side of town in the Alamo City their home. The Spurs won four of their five NBA Championships as tenants of Frost Bank Center, and the ABA transplant franchise grew many of their great Hall of Fame players while residing here; this includes Tim Duncan,...

I've been a fan and a patron of the K. Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner and their fine products for more years than I will admit in a public forum. For those unfamiliar with what I'm talking about, well, I'm talking about Shiner Bock.
Recently, I had an afternoon free, so I grabbed my traveling companion to make my long-overdue return trip to the self-billed "cleanest little city in Texas." While the origin of this moniker is pretty much apocryphal, as it's not an official title, it is something the...

Boerne Champion added another marquee district victory to its ledger Friday night and threw a wrench into the District 26-5A boys basketball title chase in the process.
Behind 22 points from sophomore guard Travis Clark, Champion rallied from a large first-half deficit and stunned district leader Veterans Memorial 48-46 at Champion High School Gym.
The victory comes 10 days after the Chargers took down second-place New Braunfels and runs their winning streak to eight games.
Champion (24-9, 11...

SAN ANTONIO - A simple concept can create profound impact – such as a dinner party with a twist.
The San Antonio Area Foundation is all about creating connections, serving as our region’s leading community convener through the lens of philanthropy.
One recently-launched program brings people together to break bread – hence the simple concept. The twist is that it’s all part of a well-organized and moderated activity meant to promote cross-generational learning and understanding.
The Area Foun...

Antonian senior point guard Amare Guerra dropped 31 points on rival Central Catholic in a 74-63 win on Friday at UIW’s McDermott Convocation Center.

Guerra went toe-to-toe with the Buttons senior guard Jaydon Garcia, who put up 24 points of his own in a fast-paced, high-scoring affair. The victory allowed the Apaches (26-8, 4-3) to lock up the third seed in TAPPS 3-6A heading toward the postseason.

With 3,072 career points, Guerra sits in second on the city’s all-time scoring list behind LeSe...

Powered by junior center Jasmine Travis’ 19 points, Steele clinched at least a share of the District 29-6A title Friday with a 54-47 victory over Judson at Steele Gym.
Steele can clinch the outright title with a win next Tuesday at San Marcos.
In the first quarter, the Knights (19-11, 10-1) ran out of the gates with a 7-0 run. This prompted an early timeout from Judson coach Tamara Torru to settle her team down.
“I loved our performance tonight,” Steele coach Gene Peña said. “I thought we too...

In just a few weeks, the eyes of the world will be focused on Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, for one of our country's biggest spectacles, Super Bowl LX. This year sees a rematch of Super Bowl XLIX between the AFC Champion New England Patriots – making their record-breaking 12th appearance in the game – and the NFC Champion Seattle Seahawks, who are making their fourth appearance in the big game.
While fans in the Lone Star State will once again be denied an appearance of either th...

Recently, I found myself with a rare free afternoon, so I went through my mental list of places I hadn't been to in a while, and it wasn't too long before I landed in Luling.
Founded as a railroad town in 1874, Luling earned a reputation as the "Toughest Town in Texas," thanks to all the shenanigans that cowboys got into while stopping along the Chisholm Trail. In 1922, the discovery of the Luling oilfield changed everything, and the town became a proverbial boom town.
Those days are gone, bu...

Behind a stellar effort from senior David Aranda, Southwest Legacy took down Harlandale for the second time this season and kept hold of first place in District 28-5A.

Construction of two new campuses approved by East Central Independent School District (ISD) voters in a 2022 bond election are taking shape, with some bond work nearing completion.
The new elementary campus in Elmendorf will be Victory STEM Academy, similar to the district’s Pecan Valley Elementary School, said Brandon Oliver, district director of Marketing & Communications.
“A STEM academy offers the same required Texas curriculum as a traditional elementary school, but with a different inst...
