“The district we’re in, it’s smoke!" a player said. "It’s like the SEC." 💨

No. 8 Pearland Dawson Eagles

Rape survivor Kathleen Dawson has won a lawsuit against Hilton Management LLC and an accused assailant, after a jury determined that Hilton's negligence played a sizeable role in the woman's attack, according to a news release from Dawson’s lawyers.

It was a weekend of reckoning in Houston prior to the beginning of district play this week and next.

After dropping its first game, the Pearland Dawson Eagles have won two in a row heading into district play.

Welcome to the start of the 2021-2022 school year and another season of H-Town High School Sports with Todd Freed!

Coach Lauren Leth expects this year's Eagles to be the most cohesive and supportive group she has coached in her fifth season.

Down south in District 23-6A is an emerging baseball program under the direction of Chris Turner. It's a tough district with Pearland, Shadow Creek, and Strake Jesuit all chasing the crown, but it appears that Dawson is the deepest in talent. The Eagles have some history, now… Don't forget, Dawson reached State in 2014 and hopes to get back in the conversation with a balanced lineup. The infield will be on lock with Zachary Mack, Cole Sebok, Ross Mingarelli, Hayden Curry, and Hayden Winsdor across the diamond.

IN FOCUS: Shadow Creek keeps pace in district; drops PearlandShadow Creek and Dawson are in a race for the District 23-6A title and to keep pace, the Sharks had to take care of Pearland. They did just that winning 52-32 on Tuesday night. Check out the photos by Andy Tolbert.

But the 2020 numbers amount to a jump of about 15%, and could go higher once all the deaths from this month are counted. “It was actually a pretty good year for mortality, as things go,” said Anderson, who oversees CDC death statistics. The U.S. coronavirus epidemic has been a big driver of deaths this year, both directly and indirectly. Drug overdose deaths, meanwhile, got much worse. Before the coronavirus even arrived, the U.S. was in the midst of the deadliest drug overdose epidemic in its history.

H-Town High School Sports continues on AT&T SportsNet and it's time for another Team of the Week presented by Allegiance Bank. This week's accolade went to Pearland Dawson Football who had a convincing victory over Shadow Creek... the kind of win that gives Dawson the nod for Team of the Week.
