Crowley ISD parts ways with Crowley head football coach Carlos Lynn

Crowley head football coach Carlos Lynn is no longer with the program. In 2023, Lynn’s first year at Crowley, the Eagles posted a 7-4 record one season after finishing 4-7. In 2024, Crowley improved to 8-5 record but slipped in 2025 and 2026 with consecutive three win seasons. The 2026 season was especially challenging due to the 2026 UIL realignment, which placed Crowley in the District of Doom alongside state powers North Crowley, Waxahachie and Duncanville. Crowley finished 2-5 in district, defeating Dallas Skyline and Mansfield. Lynn was 21-24 at Crowley. Under his direction in 2024, Crowley made it past the area round for the first time since 1971. Before he served as the Eagles’ coach, Lynn spent six seasons at the helm with Cedar Hill, where he posted a 44-26 record. Cedar Hill went to the playoffs under Lynn four times with a trip to the area round (2019), regional semifinals (2021) and the Class 6A D2 state championship game (2020). Before his time leading Cedar Hill, he spent nine years at Arlington Seguin, where he posted a 44-50 record. He also served as an assistant coach and defensive coordinator at Cedar Hill under Joey McGuire, now the head

Ex-TCU head coach who influenced modern football offenses has died

He coached at TCU during an impossible time, and his record is forgettable, but F.A. Dry has a distinctive place in the history of a program in an effort to end its worst era, and his fingerprints still exist in modern offenses. Dry, who coached at TCU from 1977 to ‘82, died on Wednesday in Fort Worth. He was 95. “He hung on for us for as long as he could because we weren’t ready to let him go,” said his son, Mike, who played football at TCU for his dad. Dry’s record at TCU was 12-51-3, and his best season was his last when the team finished 3-8. Dry arrived at TCU after a successful run at Tulsa, where he won four consecutive Missouri Valley Conference titles as head coach, and was eventually enshrined in the school’s Hall of Fame. F.A. Dry’s time at TCU At TCU, Dry experienced what the majority of TCU football coaches did in that era when he discovered competing against Texas, Texas A&M, SMU and Arkansas in the Southwest Conference was an overwhelming task. “F.A. Dry didn’t get the credit he deserves for what he did for the football program at TCU,” said John

Development brings 199 homes to rural Tarrant County road. Here's what to know

Residents along Redbird Lane in southern Tarrant County moved to the area for its open space and country quiet. Now a 199-home Pulte development is being built next door after the city of Fort Worth annexed that land, and neighbors worry about traffic, flooding and what comes next on the remaining acres. FULL STORY: They sought country living. Then Fort Worth annexed the land next door Here are key takeaways: In 2021, Parks of Village Creek, LLC — tied to Fort Worth-based James R. Harris Partners — bought roughly 100 acres of pastureland at the intersection of FM 1187 and Redbird Lane a few miles east of Interstate 35W and signed a pre-annexation agreement with Fort Worth. Pulte purchased 60-plus acres and is now building a 199-home community there. Susan Schaumburg, whose property is nearby, said FM 1187 is already congested enough, and the expected increase in traffic from the new development will only worsen that. There’s also the worry that traffic will increase on Redbird Lane, which is barely wide enough for two vehicles to pass. Chad Brantley, who lives across from the Pulte site, told the Fort Worth Zoning Commission and City Council that Pulte’s rezoning application wrongly

They sought country living. Then Fort Worth annexed the land next door

If the American Dream is a house with a picket fence and a two-car garage, the Texas Dream is a house with a picket fence, a two-car garage and enough open space that you can do what you want without bothering your neighbor and — more importantly — without your neighbor bothering you. The problems start, though, when one of those neighbors is a real estate developer with enough land, money and sway to remake a neighborhood, igniting a debate over property rights. Just ask the residents of Redbird Lane, a narrow country road that intersects with FM 1187 a few miles east of Interstate 35W in southern Tarrant County. There, urban expansion is happening faster than some would like, leading to a complicated, if not entirely unique, situation in which homeowners believe their quality of life is eroding as development aspirations threaten to bring crowds to their doorsteps. Expansion collides with rural living in south Tarrant County The neighborhood of around 40 homes on Redbird Lane and adjacent Mockingbird Road is like a community unto itself. The houses sit on a couple of acres or more, so the area attracts the kind of person looking to escape the crush

141 arrested in Fort Worth in drug trafficking, illegal firearms bust

(The Center Square) – The border crisis isn’t over, law enforcement officials argue, as they continue to target, arrest and prosecute border-related crime hundreds of miles from the Texas-Mexico border. In the Northern District of Texas, U.S. Attorney Ryan Raybould is aggressively prosecuting border related crimes. The district serves 8 million people in 100 counties located in the north-central part of the state spanning 96,000 square miles. His office is regularly announcing major busts including one on Monday after a 75-day operation led to the arrests of 141 people allegedly involved in drug and weapons trafficking schemes in Fort Worth. The multi-agency public safety initiative, Operation New Day, took place between Aug. 24 and Nov. 5. During that time, law enforcement officers conducted more than 20 undercover operations, which led to the seizure of 35 firearms, more than 100 grams of fentanyl, 45 kilograms of methamphetamine and 22 kilograms cocaine. The ATF also seized 41 machine gun conversion devices during the operation. Federal prosecutors charged 141 people on drug trafficking, firearms violations, illegal reentry after deportation, child exploitation and other federal offenses. “In two and a half months, Operation New Day took 141 criminal offenders off the streets of Fort
