Yet another accident happened today on the icy US 75.  This one happened on northbound US 75 near Shepherd Drive just north of FM 902.  Howe officers routed the traffic onto the access road temporarily, but not have US 75 back open as of 12:20 pm.

Howe Police Chief Carl Hudman says Howe Police Officers were working a single vehicle accident south of the Haning Street exit on US 75 as of 10:23 a.m. Monday, but now the highway is back open as of 10:50 am on Monday.  With the steady sleet that is coming down, the roads have become extremely slick and traffic is light.  Photo courtesy of Howe Police Department

Due to inclement weather conditions, children will rejoice because they will not have to go to school tomorrow.  The City of Howe offices will be closed on Monday as well as the Howe Community Library.

TxDOT is checking roads across Northeast Texas and some bridges in Grayson County are already icing.  They are warning drivers to check the roads before traveling and to drive safely.

Please email school or business closings to news@howeenterprise.com.  We will update as fast as possible.

A week ago Billy Clinton was told that he’d have to relocate his business out of downtown Howe after having been there for 37 years.  With a few phone calls made from the Howe Development Alliance and Howe Police Chief Carl Hudman, Clinton Upholstering will remain in Howe and will move to the 400 block of West Haning St.  Full story in Monday’s Howe Enterprise.

New location for Clinton Upholstering

Atlanta Braves prospect and Howe Bulldogs alumni, Garrett Fulenchek will throw 30 pitches in tonight’s alumni game.  A team of Howe Bulldogs alumni ranging from ages 18-41 will take on the current Howe Bulldogs at 7pm tonight at the Howe High School baseball field.  Fulenchek will sign autographs starting at 5:30 and then participate in a long-ball competition which starts at 6 pm.  Following the long-ball competition will be the 3rd alumni game between the old guys and the varsity.

Fulenchek will be teammates tonight with his father, James Fulenchek, who was a right-fielder for the Bulldogs in 1991-92.  The alumni won in 2009, but lost in 2013.

A combination of early foul trouble for Riley Harvey and a stingy defense by the Brock Lady Eagles spelled trouble for the Howe Lady Bulldogs.  The Howe girls’ season ends with a record of 26-7 and comes at the hands of one of the best teams in the state.  Brock is currently ranked 4th in the State of Texas according to the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches.

Harvey ended with 10 points and seven rebounds.  Two early fouls called on her that appeared to be clean blocks spelled trouble for her and the Lady Bulldogs.  With Harvey on the bench, Howe couldn’t gain momentum against the tight guard defense of Brock.

All five starters for Howe will return next season.  A full story on the back-to-back-to-back bi-district champion Howe Lady Bulldogs will appear on the front page of Monday’s Howe Enterprise.
