Sunray football stadium takes significant damage during early morning severe storm
Sunray High School is dealing with significant damage to multiple facilities after major storms moved through the area early Sunday morning. A few weeks before the start of regular season football games, Bobcat Stadium sustained substantial damage, according to photos and videos posted on Facebook by Meteorologist Brenda Hughes. The severe weather produced winds that are estimated to have exceeded 80 miles per hour, knocking down trees, power lines and Sunray's press box, in addition to causing other damage around the Texas Panhandle community. The Bobcats' first home football game of the 2025 season is set for Sept. 19 against Childress, but the teams may have to find an alternative location to meet if Sunray's stadium is still being repaired. According to news reports, Dumas, Borger and Fritch also saw some damage as a result of the storms, but north Moore County received the brunt. After the storm rolled in around 2:30 a.m., city officials in Sunray declared a curfew until 7 a.m. on Sunday, and declared the city a disaster area. There are currently no reports of injuries or deaths resulting from the recent outbreak of severe weather. The city also lost power on Sunday, but with the help of volunteers from Dumas, Stratford, Dalhart — and other nearby communities — Sunray had its power restored by Monday morning. Sunray FFA also hosted a clean-up day, meeting organizers and volunteers at the high school on Monday to begin repair and restoration efforts. To help those impacted by the storms, Feed the Kids will be offering free lunches Monday through Thursday from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 10th Elm Avenue in Dumas, according to a Facebook post from the organization. The Bobcats went 12-1 in 2024, losing in regional round of the playoffs to Post. Wes Boatmun's team graduated superstar quarterback Armando Lujan and a number of other key contributors, but still managed to reach the 7-on-7 state tournament this summer, and should be primed for a solid season in 2025.

Are the WNBA's Connecticut Sun going to stay put instead of moving to Boston?
Are the WNBA's Connecticut Sun going to stay put instead of moving to Boston? It seems as if the league is not wild about the notion of relocating the franchise to Massachusetts based on statements recently circulated in a release put out in response to the news that former Boston Celtics minority owner Steve Pagliuca has bought the Sun with intent to relocate the club to Boston. Now, according to recent reporting from MassLive's Kenneth Manoj, Sun president Jennifer Rizzotti related that the team has not, in fact, actually been sold to any party at present. "Contrary to some of the articles that were out yesterday, the team has not been sold," said Rizzotti on Sunday (Aug. 3). " ... unless it comes out of official Connecticut Sun or Mohegan Sun channels, it's not official." Rizzotti added that "any sale or relocation is subject to board approval, so ... non-disclosure agreement comes into play, so we're not allowed to actually talk about specific groups that we may have been talking to." "I can say that I have met personally with different investment groups over the last few months, and it's been a thorough process, and we're not quite at the finish line yet," said the Sun president, perhaps hinting that the alluded-to discussions might be more complex than we had been led to believe by earlier reports. For now, it seems that the league would prefer Boston get a franchise via expansion, suggesting that there could be an effort to sell the Sun, but keep them in their current market. And perhaps develop dedicated practice facilities they currently lack. Listen to "Havlicek Stole the Pod" on: Spotify: iTunes: YouTube:
