The Carrizo Springs Wildcats will leave in disappointment after a long game playing against the Uvalde Coyote's.

The 104.9 FM Coyote radio station's game commentator did state, not exact quote, (even though the Wildcats drove out to Uvalde to play a game and losing it, the Wildcats played with great "sportsmanship" and played a "well-contested" game overall.)

Though the Carrizo Springs Wildcats might have lost this game, they had the support of hundreds of Carrizo Springs Wildcat fans in the Uvalde stadium visitor's section. Nearly the entire visitor section was filled by Wildcat fans. This was according to the 104.9 FM game commentator.

Wildcat pride all the way!

Texas is part of the few states that doesn't have it's own wage that is higher than the federal wage. So that means that when the US federal minimum wage goes up, Texas' minimum wage goes up.

The next minimum wage boost will happen July 24, 2009. That boost will go up another 0.70 cents from $6.55 to $7.25/hour.

A Williamson County teen who pleaded guilty to attempted sexual assault after having consensual sex with a 13-year-old girl when he was 17 was back in court Wednesday to say goodbye to his attorney.

Jean Karlo Ponzanelli had pleaded guilty to the reduced charge despite his claim the girl had lied to him about her age. He was given probation but was also placed on the state's sex offender registry.

As a result, he was forced to quit school and move out of his mother's home. He also had difficulty keeping a job.
