When the Dickinson Gators boys basketball team punched their ticket to state this past Saturday at the Berry Center, it was just as much a thrill for this local sports writer as it was to see the first team I followed make state.

A source of some frustration was the lack of information on Galveston ISD’s meeting agenda on the evening of the hiring of Ball High's new head football coach.
The XFL is never going to compare to the NFL in regards to quality of play, but it is banking on a set of rule innovations to create a unique and entertaining product. The changes are all intriguing, but Saturday was the true test to see if they would be as entertaining in practice as they were on paper.
