Balding tires lead to one-car accident in rain
HOWE, TX – At approximately 1:20 pm, the Howe Police Department received a call about a one-vehicle accident on southbound US Highway 75 just south of Haning Street. Howe Police Sergeant Michael Hill arrived on the scene and determined what appeared to be a hydroplane accident due to a sudden burst of rain and balding tires on the vehicle.
“He hit the wall head-on and slid a couple hundred feet. They were able to get back in the vehicle and get it on the shoulder to allow traffic to go by.” said Sgt. Hill. “They’ve been checked by EMS and no injuries have been reported.”
The officers shut the right lane down for a period of time. Sgt. Hill gave the individuals a ride to Van Alstyne where they have made arrangements for transportation.

Howe varsity basketball coach heading back to Pottsboro
In the coaching carousel at Howe High School, the latest coach to leave is Tim Short, who has been the varsity basketball coach since the 2014-15 season. With the departure of Short, that leaves only Athletic Director and Head Football Coach Zack Hudson from the entire varsity football coaching staff from a year ago. Previously leaving Howe was Dale West, who took the athletic director position at Collinsville. He subsequently took Josh Rollins and Richard McAdams with him. Wes Rhoten landed the offensive coordinator position at Canton High School where he can be closer to his family. Varsity baseball coach Heath Grant will no longer be on the varsity coaching staff due to a family decision. Howe will also have a new varsity volleyball and softball coaches next season departures.
Short’s mother is in her 80s and lives in Pottsboro which he says was the driving factor on why he wanted to be closer. He has been making the drive from Pottsboro to Howe on a daily basis and can now be much closer at a moment’s notice.
” I wasn’t looking to move, this job opened up, I interviewed and was lucky to get it.” said Short. “I’ve really enjoyed my time at Howe. It’s a wonderful school district. Coach Hudson and Kevin Wilson are probably the best administrators I’ve worked for. The high school faculty is fantastic, some of the best teachers I’ve worked with in 37 years of teaching. I’ve made friendships that I hope will last a lifetime but probably the most important group of people I’ll miss are the young men and ladies’ lives that I’ve had an opportunity to be a part of for a few short years, they’re a great group, I’m going to miss them. I’m very appreciative of Howe ISD to allow me to be a part of the coaching staff and faculty for the past few years.”
In Monday’s Howe Enterprise, we will feature a full story on the coaching changes and get a feeling of how Hudson feels about his newly assembled cast of star-studded coaches.
