Mayor Pro Tem Tommy Cones – No Comments
Courtney Chadwell – I’m probably going to steal somebody’s thunder on this, but I wanted to congratulate the Clear Creek High School Water Polo Team. Back-to-back state champions. I got to see them come in from San Antonio after the bus ride back home. It was a great turnout. Congratulations to them. I appreciate all your hard work this season and representing the city well.
Scott Higginbotham – Courtney beat me to it. Way to go Creek. Way to represent yourselves, your school and your city well. Great job.
Chad Tressler – No Comments
Sean Saunders – Yes sir, Mr. Mayor. I would like to let everybody know that Dickinson’s Gator Band placed fourth in Area, and that qualified them to go to the State Championship next week. They will be leaving out and they have worked their butt off and it is showing. Everybody I have heard has said that their show is just great. So, anybody that can, cheer them on. Thank you.
Andy Mann – No Comments
Tom Crews – No Comments
Mayor Long – I’ll jump on the water polo bandwagon and say congratulations to Colton Coney from Clear Creek. He was state MVP in water polo, as well. Pretty impressive Creek kid, Davis Road kid. I see him out there all the time practicing. It’s pretty amazing.
