TCU’s loss to UNC Saturday ensured nobody won last week’s football jackpot. All but one picker incorrectly predicted a Horned Frog victory (kudos to Jordy Zaruba for being the only one to get that college pick right, but he missed some high school picks). So our jackpot adds more money and is up to $200 this week if you can get all 10 games right. Don’t forget our new deadline of 5 p.m. Thursday to turn in your entry.

Mother Nature brought the thunder, but it was La Grange and Navasota that brought the lightning. In a season opener that was delayed an hour by bad weather Friday, La Grange and Navasota played a football game that moved at times at video game speed.

The Flatonia football team grabbed a 28-24 victory over Palacios in the season opener for both teams Friday in Flatonia. The Bulldogs ran for 230 yards as a team led by 119 yards from freshman quarterback Boston Targac and 100 from Adrian Anderson.
