- It was fun while it lasted
- Just like that, the area softball season is over. It was here, and now, poof! It’s gone. OK, now with the onomatopoeia over with, I’d like to recap some of the best moments from the 2007 season. But before that, here’s wishing good... Full story
- The last two left in the tango
- And then there were two. Only two area softball clubs remain alive in the state playoffs this week. That pair is Ray-mondville and Mercedes, who are both in the regional quarterfinals. Just like last week, we’ll have an in-depth preview on... Full story
- The sweet six teams
- As week two of the softball playoffs looms, the field of area clubs has been cut in half from 12 to six. That’s the nature of the postseason. One week you’re in and the next you’re preparing for next season. Congrats to those teams... Full story

- Cindy in Lala Land
- Cindy Vela is a woman with secrets. The Valley native has learned to keep those secrets during her first year as an actress and model in Hollywood. Her hidden knowledge doesn’t concern some dirty secret from a dark and stormy past or whether... Full story
- Fast dreams
- You snooze, you lose, goes the old saying, and that’s just what happened to me this week. A friend contacted me Tuesday and said I needed to check out this really, cool car out at the Cardenas Autoplex. But by the time I got there Wednesday... Full story
- Dixie debate
- There’s nothing like an awards show to spark a lively debate. That’s certainly true after Sunday’s Grammy Awards. The Dixie Chicks went home with an armful of trophies and a lot of people are asking why. Everybody seems to be... Full story

- The love of money is contagious
- Do you believe in magic? After the trick I saw the Harlingen school district’s athletic program pull off Saturday night, I do. With the wave of a magic wand that comes in the form of money, I saw the HCISD athletic department magically... Full story
- Let the fun begin
- So just like that the 2007 regular season is officially over and we’re into the postseason. Now the fun really begins. I thought I’d take this time to quickly run through the bi-district matchups and offer up my predictions. This should... Full story
- Playoff spots going fast
- I looked at the upcoming schedule and I realized that there are only a couple of weeks remaining in the 2007 regular season. This season has just flown by. It seems like yesterday that I was working on my preseason poll. But there's still quite a... Full story

- Make way for St. Joe
- The St. Joseph Academy girls finally took over. And they didn’t even run this past weekend. The 2007 track and field regular season wrapped up last week with district meets across the Valley. As expected, Rio Grande City cruised to the 30-5A... Full story
- Spring is in the air
- I love this time of year. In the coming days, we’ll have the start of the 2007 Major League season, the Masters, the mens’ NCAA championship game and — as an added bonus this year — the premiere of the new season of Entourage... Full story
- Let’s hear it for La Villa
- It’s truly amazing what head coach Rick Cantu has done in La Villa. Being a Class A school, the press and recognition sometimes eludes a tiny team like the Cardinals. La Villa opened up the 2006-07 regular season with a loss to St,... Full story

- Hawks need wins, help for playoff spot
- There’s only a few playoff spots left for the boys as the regular season winds down. One of them is in District 31-5A where PSJA Memorial is in the driver’s seat following their 3-2 overtime victory against Harlingen South on Tuesday... Full story
- Watch out, here comes Laredo
- On Wednesday, all three of the remaining Valley girls’ basketball teams were eliminated from the playoffs in one fell swoop. In Class 3A, Hidalgo lost to West Oso 46-41, Harlingen South lost to Laredo Nixon 55-38 and, perhaps most surprising... Full story
- Corner Kicks: The Cards' secret to success
- We're nearing the halfway mark of district play for most soccer teams in the Valley and there will be some pretty interesting games on the slate. Tonight at Cardinal Stadium, Harlingen, which is tied for first in District 31-5A with Edinburg... Full story

- This bill's nothing to LOL about
- I got a book in the mail recently. OK, it wasn’t exactly a book, but it came in a box the size and shape of a book. And it had about 200 pages in it. It wasn’t from the booksellers at Amazon; it was from our friends at AT&T. It was... Full story
- We went dancin’ across the USA
- Instead of a Book
- Like most families, we try to take a vacation every summer. But constraints — those of money and time off from work, primarily — have conspired to keep our summer jaunts within the confines of the Lone Star State in recent years.... Full story

- Keeping an eye out for ‘300’
- The story of the stand at Thermopylae, where 300 Spartan warriors led a small band of Greeks and held back a million Persians for three days, is one of the most amazing tales ever told. Frank Miller, creator of “Sin City,” retold the... Full story
- Captain America Still a Hero
- I have told people for years that Captain America is cool, and Marvel Comic’s “Civil War” series reminds everyone that he is one of the top strategists in the Marvel stable. The series also reminds us that Captain America always... Full story
- Back in black
- Marvel’s “Civil War” storyline comes to a close today. I’m sure there will be sighs of relief, gasps of disbelief and more than a few groans of disapproval. For me, I’ll be upset that the series ends with Spidey back in... Full story
