IN THE WORKS
Last night my wife, daughter, and I went to see the University of Texas at Dallas play Concordia University basketball game. A young man who graduated from New Braunfels High School with my daughter two years ago is a sophomore on the UT Dallas team. They don't see each other much nowadays since he is in Dallas and my daughter is in Austin attending UT Austin. My wife and I still do quite a bit with his parents since we are all basically empty nesters now so we decided to drive up to Concordia and catch the game. It was a good game that UT Dallas won by a score of 101 to 74. My daughter's friend played roughly half the game and scored six points. His parents told us that was probably his best college game to date.
