The matchup would have also marked the first-ever meeting between the two programs in women’s basketball. However, the game has now been canceled. Tickets have also been reportedly canceled with Duke now scheduled to play FAU on Sunday. “Duke was supposed to ...

Know Your Pecan Pie and Where to Find the Good Ones
Pecan pie has been the official State Pie of Texas since 2013, when the Legislature passed a resolution saying no dish says “Texas” more sweetly. It took a while. The Texas Siftings humor paper was already calling pecan pie worthy of being a “real state pie” back in 1886, and the pecan has been the state tree since 1919.

Emerson ends season on high note with last-minute heroics against Frisco
FRISCO – Ahead of Friday evening, both Frisco’s and Emerson’s football destinies were predetermined. Frisco would be postseason-bound and Emerson would instantly enter the conversation for teams with playoff-level talent left out of the dance regardless of the result of their head-to-head showdown at Kuykendall Stadium. That would not prevent the game from being electric as, despite trailing for the majority, Emerson would take the lead with 29 seconds left to steal and seal a 26-24 victory. “Just a great group of kids,” said Emerson head coach Billy Ellis. “And we deserve to be in the playoffs. I don’t mean that as a slight to Celina, Panther Creek or anybody, but we’re a playoff team. I told them I expect you to go out and play like a playoff team and show them how much you deserve it, because they do.” To note, Emerson finished District 4-5A Division II play 5-3 and tied for third place alongside Celina and Panther Creek but lost both head-to-heads, keeping them from entering the postseason. After a third quarter that saw just three possessions and no points, Frisco (7-3, 6-2) entered the fourth quarter with a 21-20 edge. A pair of Emerson (7-3, 5-3)

Lovejoy holds off The Colony in defensive battle
LUCAS -- Junior quarterback Nixon Slaughter accounted for 259 yards of total offense and three touchdowns to lead the Lovejoy football team to a 21-14 win over The Colony in District 3-5A Division II action at Leopard Stadium Thursday night. In a contest featuring two playoff-bound programs and several of the area’s statistical leaders on offense, it was the defense on both sides that dictated the game, with four punts and three turnovers in the first half alone. The Colony (7-3, 3-3) took a 7-0 lead after a scoreless first quarter when senior quarterback Jayden Gaines raced in from 83 yards out with 4:52 remaining in the first half. Slaughter capped a 15-play, 75-yard drive with a three-yard touchdown run to tie the score 7-7 late in the second quarter. After forcing another punt midway through the third quarter, Lovejoy (9-1, 5-1) took over near midfield. Junior Coleman Reaugh hauled in a 12-yard pass on third and long to give the Leopards a first down at The Colony’s 25-yard line. After another first down pass to Reaugh, Slaughter, the area’s seventh-leading passer, hit senior Brody Hesson for a six-yard touchdown pass with 4:41 left in the third quarter to give
