A&M Consolidated defeated Elgin 15-7.

No. 3 Elgin made quick work of Manor, winning 11-0 in 4 1/2 innings. Freshman pitcher Lauren Slatten had 12 Ks and gave up 2 hits.

@laurizac FYI: your link is broken and doesn't work.

@LTVsports wrong on so many levels

The Dude!!!!! Lebowski wins an Oscar! Total Awesomeness.

@aTrubow If you are looking for good sausage, Meyer's is the way to go. If you want good brisket, Southside Market is your best bet.

RT @H5AB WOW!! Houston just defeatede #3 UT 1-0 at Minute Maid Park.

It's halftime and Bastrop trails 2-1.

My take on Baylor's Brittney Griner's joke of a punishment and how sometimes the standard of behavior is contradictory http://bit.ly/bSqLoS

Baseball: Elgin gets by Liberty Hill 8-2 http://bit.ly/9VuR0j

This isn't good for Steeler Nation. RT @HarveyLevinTMZ Ben Roethlisberger Accused of Sexual Assault http://bit.ly/aSrC1X

@MaryMcMax that seems to happen a lot with an iPhone.

Nothing says sprung in Texas like baseball and BBQ. At Elgin for the Southside Market BB Tournament where they are grilling brisket!

I love Rudy's BBQ sauce. About to head to watch Bastrop-McNeil baseball here in a few, stopped at Rudy's for lunch.

I knew my pals at @KXAN_News would come through RT @rwallacekxan We've got Brittney Griner's punch coming up on KXAN at 10.

Lady Panthers still lead 6-2 going into the bottom of the sixth!

Elgin ranked 8th in current Class 4A TGCA State Softball poll http://bit.ly/9gb2qT

Bastrop's softball team opens district tonight at home against Pflugerville at 7 p.m.

I suddenly have the urge to break out into a Hacksaw Jim Duggan "USA, USA, USA" chant and wave my American flag. Haoooooooooooooooooo!

@iamtiffyates Nice! I'm a TKE alum at Marshall.

I'm off to day 2 of the swimming championships to watch Ellyn Rivers go for the gold!

Maybe NBC will make up for dropping the ball the first time these two teams met… doubtful, but it could happen.

My day at the swimming championships are done. Girls soccer tonight against Westlake awaits me. Then back here tomorrow.

Who's up for some swimming? UIL Swimming and Diving Championships start today at the Jamail Swimming Center at #UT.

Farrell had a record of 10-20 in 3 seasons at El Paso Soccoro,

I was thinking it was only me! RT @Rickyprep What the hell? Missing Olympics with NBC. Only KXAN is off the air. What's up?

http://twitpic.com/14zf3q – Playing in the snow today at work.

@aaspreps I have to agree with @lesleymccaslin I think they called that right.

Elgin's boys basketball playoff game is still on for tomorrow at 7 p.m. at Giddings.

Updated Bastrop County boys basketball statistics http://bit.ly/93Eans

Smithville girls exit playoffs with 54-41 loss to Sam Houston http://bit.ly/cjlJVu

@iamtiffyates did bastrop win or comeback and tie it?

Elgin girls soccer team defeats La Grange 4-0. Ashley Frederick picks up goal No. 18 on the season while Santa Araujo gets a hat trick.

That makes 2 of us!!!! RT @Schlik1 Texas Baseball Starts tommorrow. So pumped!

A small plane has crashed into a building in NW Austin on 183. @foxauston @KVUE @statesman @KXAN

@MaryMcMax … Westlake's girls coach, the district chair, clarified it counts as a loss, but you get a point, which is the tiebreaker. DUMB

@MaryMcMax The Watson's count it that way. Angie did last year with all of her shootouts. BUt that's now how the district rules read…

@MikeBermanNews8 Honestly, I think Texas is overrated and that's really what's been going on with the BB team.

Going to lobby for Bastrop's Jordan Roach for All-CenTex team: Statline 19.5 PPG, 6.0 RPG; 106 A, 95 S, 168 total rebs as a guard.

Smithville's girls basketball team wins their first playoff game since 2007. Defeated West Columbia 47-45.

Elgin girls trail Huntsville 37-29 at halftime.

Feels really special that Rachel Nichols acknowledged me in a tweet!

@aaspreps Between Manor football and Bastrop boys basketball, that's 8 coaches in the last four years.

I want to give a Happy Birthday shout out to @iamtiffyates!

If you want to see a good soccer game on Tuesday, head over to Burger and watch Bastrop-Bowie girls. That will be for 2nd place.

@leilarahimi You rock.. Thanks!

http://bit.ly/deWUQP Lady Bears end season on a winning note

This is a travesty to the tradition of hockey. RT @leilarahimi RT @NEWS9 Edmonton Oliers are moving to Oklahoma City http://bit.ly/9YDTyl

I think I will cover some basketball tonight. Yeah, that should be safe. Tomorrow I go to Smithville for an interview with Faith Ralph.

I have been sneezing all night. I hope I am not getting sick.

Moore and Sarah Johnson said they get anxious when thinking about state. Moore said she gets goose bumps. Johnson gets short of breath.

I am off to Elgin to do my first of many softball interviews this season. It's always fun to cover Elgin softball.

You had me at Marino and Kelly, but lost me at Kosar. RT @jeff_howe …Chase Daniel now has a ring but Marino, Kelly and Kosar don't?

I will be in college basketball heaven tomorrow. WVU-Nova at 6 p.m. and Texas-Kansas at 8 p.m. Time to put a menu together for BIG MONDAY!

Wants to announce that my 2-year-old son has just given his verbal commitment to Texas! Class of 2026 baby.

according to bit.ly, my Gracy Mansfield story has been clicked through 126 times. Holy Crap!!!!! That's the most ever by at least 100.

@lj8919 I would love to get both sides of the story, but unfortunately, I don't even have one side. Only thing I know is what I tweeted.

@doylerd Until Geno and Pat Summit retire, women's basketball will be ruled by the Huskies and Lady Vols.

You have to respect a coach that has the guts to suspend their top player, especially one of Mansfield's talent level for the year.

Smithville guard Blakelee Saunders (8 PPG, 4.4 RPG) sprained her toe "pretty badley" last night against Sealy. She will be day-to-day.

Bastrop's Bernard Blake will sign with Colorado State tomorrow. He chose the Rams over North Texas and Colorado.

Bastrop boys cagers avenge loss to Austin High, 74-58. The win sets up a HUGE game Friday in Bastrop with Akins with playoffs on the line.

There were 28 free throws shot in the fourth quarter alone. And 34 in the second half.

How long into tonights game will it take for Hillari Raemsch to extend her 3-pointer streak to 14 games? Answer to quickly follow!

@aaspreps I predict Bastrop, Elgin, Manor, Lockhart, Hutto, Connally, Hendrickson.
