White Settlement Brewer wins first football playoff game in 37 years

A 37-year playoff win drought was on the line. White Settlement Brewer held a 3-point lead at the half over rival Azle. But the Bears thoroughly dominated the second half en route to a 31-7 victory in the Class 5A Division I bi-district round Thursday at Brewer Bear Stadium. It was the Bears’ first football playoff win since 1989. “I’m proud of our team,” Brewer head coach Marte Amrine Jr. said while covered in Gatorade. “I’m proud of our coaches. Thirty-seven years is a long time, and you feel that. People talk about it in our face. People tell us all the time. ... [The playoff win] is 37 years of work, man. It’s awesome. I’ve never been more proud of a group of kids in my life.” Brewer (10-1) will play Amarillo Tascosa (7-4) in the area round at a time and place that is to be determined. “Now we get to go on and play the next one,” said Amrine, who is in his second year leading the Bears. “And I’m excited for our guys, excited for our community, and everybody that’s involved. An awesome night, for sure.” A second-half, 21-0 run was sparked when running back Kameron

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

TCU closing in on adding Saint Louis transfer Robbie Avila

TCU is closing in on adding Saint Louis transfer Robbie Avila two weeks into the 2026-27 college basketball season, On3’s Joe Tipton confirms. Avila, the reigning Atlantic-10 Player of the Year, earned a preliminary injunction to play a fifth season from a St. Louis City Circuit Judge last week. This seemingly cleared the way for Avila to once again suit up for the Billikens this season. However, the College Sports Commission stepped in and blocked his route back to Saint Louis, as the program’s roster was already at its 15-player limit. This ended his stint with the program. $39.99 gets you a...

A Tarrant Dem exited a Texas House race, then won. Now she plans to take office.

A North Texas Democrat who won the race for House District 93 despite suspending her campaign amid eligibility questions related to a conviction says she is qualified for office and plans to assume the elected position. Ericka Lomick won Nov. 3 elections for the Fort Worth area district , defeating Republican Alan Blaylock, a former Fort Worth City Council member. She left the race in the weeks before Election Day for a full term beginning in January and a partial term to fill the remainder of former Rep. Nate Schatzline’s current term, after he left the office early and didn’t seek reelection. He went on to work as a senior advisor for Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. Lomick’s campaign cited “questions” around her eligibility as the reason for the campaign’s suspension. Specific circumstances that would disqualify her from serving weren’t mentioned, but the announcement followed a news release from a political action committee claiming Lomick has a felony record. Given the timing of her exit, Lomick’s name remained on the ballot for the midterm election and special election. She won more votes than Blaylock in both instances. Federal court records out of North Carolina show that an Ericka Lomick was convicted

Democrats' Tarrant sweep triggers GOP dissatisfaction. Here's what to know

Texas voters elected Democrats to every statewide office in the Nov. 3 midterm, ending more than three decades of Republican dominance in the Lone Star State. The sweep also flipped Tarrant County blue and has triggered public dissatisfaction inside the county GOP. Here are key takeaways: Democrat James Talarico defeated Attorney General Ken Paxton for U.S. Senate, Gina Hinojosa beat Gov. Greg Abbott, and Vikki Goodwin ousted Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick in what one political scientist called “a demolition” of Republican incumbents . Democrats also captured the railroad commissioner’s seat and several legislative races, leaving GOP control of the Texas Legislature in flux. Sixteen Tarrant County Republicans, organized by former Southlake Mayor John Huffman, signed an open letter demanding new county party leadership after Democrats swept every statewide and countywide race. Signatories blame Tarrant County GOP Chair Tim Davis, elected in November 2025, for a divisive culture that ostracized Republicans who broke with leadership. The summary points above were compiled with the help of AI tools and edited by journalists. The source reporting referenced above was written and edited entirely by journalists.
