The Howe Bulldogs got a big win after the season.  Their talented outfielder Brennan Ross was selected to the Texas High School Baseball Coaches Association (THSBCA) Class 3A All-State team as a first team outfielder.

Ross was as consistent as any hitter can be, batting .464 with an on-base percentage of .525.  The on-base percentage made him one of the most dangerous leadoff hitters in Texas.  Ross is also known for his contact, where he only struck out six times in over 60 plate appearances.

He is the son of Brian and Marcy Ross, both Howe High School graduates.  He has a sister, Ashlyn, and an older brother, Easton, also a Howe graduate.

The line:

.464 batting average
.525 On-base percentage
14 walks
6 strikeouts
24 runs scored
39 hits
15 of 17 in stolen bases
.938 fielding percentage

Distribution set for Howe tornado victims

A fund has been generated in response to the tornado which struck the Howe area on the evening of April 26th.  This money was provided by the generous residents of Howe and surrounding communities through cash contributions and fundraisers in support of the victims of the storm.  The funds are available to the 23 families identified as high loss victims and others who may have been affected by the storm.  Guidelines for fund distribution are being generated and will be administered by a committee comprised of community members.  The deadline to submit the request is June 30.

Requests for assistance will be accepted by the First United Methodist Church of Howe, 810 N Denny St.  A single page request form may be obtained at the church office from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm, Monday through Thursday each week.  Requests may be made to support deductibles, temporary living expenses, and other uncovered losses associated with the April storm.  Fund distribution will occur by the end of July.
