Manvel shocks Wildcats
ALVIN — The Manvel Mavericks did what few believed they could Friday night: They beat the high-powered Angleton Wildcats.
Mavs’ night ends in disappointment
SANTA FE — Luck was on the Santa Fe football team’s side Friday night, and the Indians are in the playoffs for the third time in school history. A three-way tie for the fourth and final playoff spot between Manvel, Santa Fe and Texas City was decided in the weight room at Earl Routh Jr. Field House just before 11 p.m. Friday via coin flip. Odd man out of the three coins earned the postseason berth.
Opinion
Angleton band, BISD maintain links to success
On a fall Friday night, lasting memories were made at Wildcat Stadium in Angleton and at Hopper Field in Freeport. But it’s not the kind of memories you might expect during football season, though both Angleton and Brazoswood are in the midst of successful seasons that see them playoff-bound.

Tales from the Brazos
Doctor had ‘cure’ for what ailed ’40s workers
In his book, “Episodes: Texas Dow,” Bill Colegrove remembered that when the construction of Dow Chemical Co. began in Brazoria County, the entire county was “dry,” with only beer allowed.
Single men made their own fun in early 1940s
Roads were in poor shape and Freeport could be reached by only one that led from Angleton and one from West Columbia when Dow arrived in Brazoria County.
