Body
The Brenham Cross Country Meet was held on Saturday, September 10th. This meet is billed as “The toughest course in Texas”. It is a course well marked that features a long flat start, challenging hills in the middle, hay bales the runners must jump and a spectacular friendly finish. It is also a very competitive meet. There were 18 5A 6A Public and Private schools from Houston and Katy and 14 1A - 4A schools. It is a great meet to attend to prepare your team for upcoming meets and the Regional and State Meets.

Last weekend marked beginning of teal season

Body
Opening day for the teal hunting season arrived Saturday, Sept. 10 and Texas hunters had multiple opportunities to harvest birds thanks to improved conditions from recent storms. “Recent rains have provided a muchneeded boost to habitat conditions heading into opening day, so I am expecting a fair teal season this year for Texas,” said Kevin Kraai, Waterfowl Program Leader for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD). “Things can change, but I hope the forecasts continue to look favorable for more rain in the next few days.” This year’s U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) population and habitat survey indicated bluewinged teal numbers increased 19 percent from the 2019 survey – which was the last time the survey was conducted by USFWS, added Kraai. It’s great news to see that they persisted through some extreme drought conditions.
