February 2, 2022 at the GPISD North Shore gymnasium, the East Side’s Lady Mustangs made their season’s last home game before a full-house home crowd a scoring exhibition. It was never a contest: the East Side girls of North Shore scored at will over their C. E. King Panther district opponent.

Being it was Senior Night, more than a usual amount of the Lady Mustangs’ family members were present to watch the stampeding Lady Mustangs.

There was a special halftime ceremony where Coach Allison Campbell announced the nine seniors’ names while their family members joined them on center court for photos. Gifts and flower bouquets were given to the seniors.

Dealing with COVID-19 in a New Year

Feb 10, 2022

County Connection by Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo

A new year is a time for new beginnings, and I know we are all ready to start fresh. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 epidemic has not slowed down over the holidays. With the emergence of the Omicron strain fueling the fire, a new wave of infections are once again raising our numbers. Hospitalizations are slowly rising and approaching problematic levels, infections are spreading rapidly across our County, and this week our numbers have pushed our threat level back to red. The possible exposures from travel, holiday celebrations, and gatherings on top of the return of children to school this week could trigger a very difficult month ahead in terms of hospitalizations and the strain on our medical system. It is clear that we will be living with this virus indefinitely.

But here in Harris County we are not giving in – we have more tools available and more knowledge on this virus than at any previous point during this pandemic. And we know that vaccinations are the best protection for you and your family against this virus. If there has ever been a wake up call to get vaccinated and get your booster, that time is now. You can find all the information you need on how and where to get vaccinated and your booster at readyharris.org.
