MANSFIELD — The Class 6A No. 24-ranked Waxahachie Lady Indians put it on cruise control on Tuesday night as they swept Mansfield Legacy, 25-15, 25-14, 25-13, to stay in a tie for first place in District 11-6A.
We have an abundance of free, wild pork roaming the hills and creek bottoms across most of the Lone Star State. Yes, larger boars, if they are in good condition and not actively breeding, make excellent table fare but the meat does need to be tenderized before cooking.

LUBBOCK — Texas coach Steve Sarkisian isn’t offering any clarity on the injury-clouded situation at quarterback for the 22nd-ranked Longhorns for his first, and possibly only, trip to Texas Tech. The top two options for the Big 12 opener Saturday are quite familiar to Texas Tech’s Joey McGuire, the former Baylor assistant and lifelong Texan who’s now facing the Longhorns for the first time as a head coach.
Baylor heads into its Big 12 opener at Iowa State on Saturday planning to draw on the experience from its double-overtime loss at BYU two weeks ago. The 17th-ranked Bears (2-1) will play in front of another big and loud crowd at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames, just as they did in Provo, Utah, and they’ll face another motivated and hard-hitting opponent.
Make it three in a row for Noah Gragson, who has built enormous momentum as the NASCAR Xfinity Series moves into its seven-race Playoff. On 90-lap older tires, Gragson held off Brandon Jones, the driver who will take his seat in the No.
With Chase Elliott pursuing him relentlessly for the final 50 laps, Chris Buescher held on to win Saturday’s Bass Pro Shops Night Race at Bristol Motors Speedway, becoming the 19th different NASCAR Cup Series winner this season. After the event that set the field for the Round of 12 in the series Playoffs—and eliminated superstars Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick from the postseason—a dozen drivers were breathing sighs of relief and hoping fervently for a return to stock car sanity in the next round.
