Receiver injuries piling up for Texas Tech football

The Texas Tech football team's receiver room has been the most impacted by injury this season, and that continues to be the case. Liberty transfer Donte Lee was ruled out for the season weeks ago while speedster Jalen Jones (hip) has been out for weeks. Then the Red Raiders lost Coy Eakin to a broken hand in this past week's win over West Virginia. Head coach Joey McGuire said, at the very least, they hope to have Auburn transfer Malcolm Simmons back on the field against Oklahoma State. Eakin had surgery on Sunday and McGuire said there's no chance he's available against the Cowboys, but wouldn't put it past the Stephenville native to be back on the field against Baylor . With so many banged up receivers, the Red Raiders are having to rely on its younger talents like freshman Chase Campbell. "We're really fortunate we have Chase Campbell," McGuire said. "He's played really well. We're also fortunate that Terrance Carter really could play that slot. And being in 12 personnel (two tight ends) he's such a tough matchup. We'll move some guys around, like Bryson Jones. He'll get some slot along with getting some outside, which he has." Campbell

Lubbock ISD names longtime educator to fill vacant District 5 seat

The Lubbock Independent School District Board of Trustees voted unanimously during a special-called meeting Monday to name longtime educator Christina Skeen to fill the board's vacant District 5 seat. Skeen is an education and learning expert with experience spanning more than two decades, the majority of which she spent at Lubbock ISD, according to a news release from the district. Skeen said she is ready to serve the district that has helped shape her life as an educator, leader and parent. Skeen will begin her service on the board immediately and will serve the remainder of the District 5 term, which expires in May 2028, after John Weddige resigned from the seat on Sept. 30. “My career has allowed me to understand public education from the classroom, campus, district and national levels,” Skeen said. “I believe every student deserves strong educational opportunities, regardless of the campus they attend or the circumstances they bring to school. As both an educator and the parent of students who receive support through Section 504, I understand the importance of providing students with the resources and accommodations they need to succeed.” Skeen first served as a third-grade teacher at Wheelock Elementary School and then as
