RANGERS

It’s pretty simple — leave no trace.

Houston pitcher Framber Valdez lost a no-hitter with two outs in the ninth inning when Texas slugger Corey Seager hit a two-run homer in the Astros’ 4-2 victory over the Rangers.

Josh Smith homered twice with four RBIs to lead the Texas Rangers to a 4-2 win over the Houston Astros.

Major League Baseball was still stinging from a strike that had wiped out the World Series the previous season when the 1995 All-Star Game was played outside in the stifling Texas heat.

Yellowstone National Park officials say a gunman killed by park rangers as he fired a semiautomatic rifle at the entrance of a dining facility with 200 people inside had told a woman he planned to carry out a mass shooting.

The Houston Astros swept the Rangers in a Texas-sized rout.

The New York Mets are paying the Texas Rangers $35.51 million over the next 14 months as part of the Max Scherzer trade.

The MLB All-Star Game has grown into a truly Texas-sized event since the last time the Rangers hosted the midsummer classic.

Following a 2022 season that saw Terry finish in the No. 6 spot in their tough district, the Rangers look to flip the script. Sophomore shortstop Andrew Hernandez will play a significant role in the turnaround as he anchors the infield and sets the table in the batting lineup.

Park officials said a cause of death was not known. The 800,000-acre park often becomes dangerously hot in March.

An Arizona woman is still missing after being swept away at Utah’s Zion National Park three days ago as flooding surged through the southwestern United States and imperiled tourists visiting the region’s scenic parks.

All-Star Game festivities start in earnest with the Futures Game, where some of the best prospects in Major League Baseball will play a seven-inning matchup at Dodger Stadium on Saturday.

Braves rookie right-hander Bryce Elder will be at home in Texas when he starts the middle game of a three-game series against the Rangers.

FALL WRAP: GCCISD Makes Giant Tracks in the Fall

KATY—History looks pretty sweet in blue and white.

HOUSTON - The playoff field in boys basketball in the State of Texas got just a little bit smaller on Thursday night with the Area Round getting officially put in the books.

HOUSTON - It has been a whirlwind recruitment for Baytown Sterling’s Reece Sylvester.

THE RAY FAMILY IS A DYNASTY AT TERRY HIGH SCHOOL.

IN A MATTER OF TWO YEARS, CLEMENTS’ JULIA LIANG WENT FROM FRESHMAN TEAM STANDOUT TO VARSITY TEAM MVP AS A SOPHOMORE.

Clements' thrilling 27-25 District 20-6A win over Fort Bend Elkins last Thursday came at a drastic price.

Heading into his second year at the helm of the Clements tennis team, Brett Bernstein wanted to establish a tough, grit-and-grind mentality in the Rangers.

MISSOURI CITY — Taylor Davis said he had hardly been tested through the season's first four games. The Ridge Point junior safety longed for a ball thrown his direction.

The best defense in District 20-6A football has a simple mentality. A simple truth.

Fulshear, Foster and Terry all enjoyed successful spring tennis seasons, culminating in impressive performances at the Region III-5A tournament, and they're hoping to carry that into this fall.

TERRY'S VOLLEYBALL TEAM ENJOYED A SUCCESSFUL 2020 SEASON, GOING 15-7, FINISHING THIRD IN DISTRICT PLAY AND MAKING THE PLAYOFFS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 15 YEARS.

It's early, but the Clements Rangers are 3-0 after dismantling Pasadena 59-0 Friday night.

It has been over 18 months since KPRC 2 Investigates revealed a Harris County maintenance shed under the control of County Commissioner Rodney Ellis was secretly housing a massive African art collection.

The most anticipated summer in Scottish soccer in a generation started with a public outbreak of perhaps its deepest-rooted problem.

Some thousands of fans gathered outside the stadium celebrating the win against St. Mirren, putting them on the brink of securing the Scottish Premiership title. A world record 55th domestic league title — although some rivals will claim it is the reborn club's first — was sealed after Glasgow rival Celtic drew 0-0 with Dundee United. It is the first league title ever won by Gerrard, who spent most of his playing career at Liverpool. Gerrard came agonizingly close in 2014 to finally landing the one club prize that eluded him: The Premier League title. Stuart McCall was brought back to salvage their title bid but Rangers finished third and lost in the playoffs.

Leading the way for the Broncos was T. Smith (#11) w/ 18 points, Brandon Love (#24) w/ 12 points, and LeDonovan Stewart (#2) w/ 11 points. Leading the way for the Rangers was Miko Aguinaldo (#11) w/ 9 points and Abdullah Olajuwon (#23) w/ 8 points. Broncos T. Smith (#11) & R. Hill (#3) Ranger J. Campbell (#4)T. Smith (#11) DUNKS! M. Wilburn (#14) attempts to put two points on the board as R. Hill (#3) blocks him. R. Hill (#3)R. Obou (#5) shoots for two.

Starting the season out strong with some big scrimmages already, and they are ready to head to the top. Comal's 6A Smithson Valley boys soccer are gearing up for a big performance season, and hopefully a deep run in the playoffs. Returning some big players in the field, and in the goal, the Rangers coach says he plans to look to his leaders, Colton Adkins, Devin Yocham, Micah Jenkins, and Ryan Harley. Coming off last year as District Runner-up, the Rangers want that District 27 Title.

It was a foggy night, but sight wasn't going to be the biggest factor on the field. With the drum being the cadence for the team and the snap count- the team found a way. And again, to open the fourth quarter, the Rangers score again. The Rangers, a team and coaching staff full of opportunities to make excuses, instead go find a way to make it happen. What an exciting way to make history as this is the first ever State Championship for TSD and we look forward to many more!

Neil Lennon, Celtic’s increasingly embattled coach, couldn’t fail to hear the commotion as he walked into his post-match media conference. Celtic’s players headed to Italy on Wednesday for a Europa League match against AC Milan looking for just a third win in their last 11 games in all competitions. Even more so this season as Celtic chases an unprecedented 10th straight league title, which would close the gap to Rangers in terms of overall championship triumphs to two. Rangers, meanwhile, is taking advantage of its rival's slump, even outdoing Celtic by rising atop its Europa League group that contains Benfica. Stopping Celtic achieving “The 10” — as it is often referred to Scotland — is the biggest task this season, though.

HOUSTON – The wait is finally over and although the lost again in Arlington to the Rangers they have punched their playoff ticket thanks to the Angels loss late Friday night to the Dodgers. The Astros , who felll to the Rangers Friday in extra innings, are headed to the playoffs for a fourth straight season. They will finish the weekend against Texas and wait on their first round wild card opponent. Entering Saturday they will play a best of three series against either the A’s, Twins, White Sox or Indians. Friday night they could have clinched with a win over Texas but the bullpen again blew leads in both the 9th and 10th innings and fell 5-4.

(AP) – Houston clinched the final spot in the expanded American League playoffs when the Los Angeles Angels lost about two hours after the Astros fell 5-4 to the Texas Rangers in 10 innings Friday night. Houston, which already had its three-year reign atop the division ended by Oakland, currently is the only AL playoff team without a winning record. The Angels' 9-5 loss to the Dodgers made Houston's Dusty Baker the first manager to lead five different franchises to the playoffs. UP NEXTThe Astros were waiting for the LA outcome to decide who would start the third game in the four-game series to finish the regular season. RHP Kyle Gibson (2-6, 5.87 ERA) is scheduled to start for the Rangers.

Elvis Andrus hit a tying solo homer in the ninth inning and the Rangers got two runs in the 10th on a balk and two errors to beat the Astros 6-5. Scott Heineman started the 10th on second base and advanced to third on a groundout by Shin-Soo Choo. The Rangers took the lead when he scored on a balk by Blake Taylor (1-1). Jose Altuve, who had three hits, started the 10th on second and scored when Michael Brantley singled off Rafael Montero to make it 6-5. The Rangers trailed by one entering the ninth after the Astros took the lead on a three-run homer by Brantley in the seventh.

HOUSTON The Houston Astros and Texas Rangers will play their game as scheduled Tuesday night. There was concern that the game would be postponed after a positive COVID-19 test of an Oakland As staff member prompted the postponement of the Astros and As game on Sunday. Gene Dias, a spokesman for the Astros, said both the Astros and Rangers were off Monday. The first pitch for the Astros and Rangers is set for 7:10 p.m. at Minute Maid Park. This is the first of a three-game series between the teams.

ARLINGTON, Texas Texas right-hander Corey Kluber left his first start in almost 15 months after just one inning Sunday due to shoulder tightness. The two-time Cy Young Award winner was making his first appearance for a team other than Cleveland after an offseason trade. The Rangers said Kluber reported feeling the tightness in the first few pitches and it got worse as the inning progressed. He was close to returning when he sustained an oblique injury during a rehab start last August. He was a 20-game winner in 2018, and the AL Cy Young Award winner in 2014 and 2017.

In June, the Chisos Mountain Lodge at Big Bend National Park posted a video clip showing a pair of black bear cubs wrestling on a patio as their mother watched. It also spurred some to point out how animals are returning to areas normally inhabited by humans during temporary park closures due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Similar reports have come from other parks: Rangers encountered pronghorn near a visitors’ center at Death Valley National Park, and officials at Yosemite National Park noted that bears began frequenting areas usually teeming with humans. Every summer, hundreds of endangered Kemp’s Ridley sea turtles come ashore along the park’s 70 miles of coastline to lay nests. Officials have recorded 262 nests along the Texas coast this year, second only to 2017, when 353 nests were counted.

HOUSTON – An Astros fan took Monday night’s loss against the Rangers especially hard. Lance Alan Pederson was handcuffed by stadium security officials and several officers in the lower level of Minute Maid Park during the seventh inning. In the video taken, he was seen struggling with officers as he was being escorted out of the stadium. Pederson shouted, “F--- the Rangers!” and “F--- you, Rangers motherf------!” while he was being led up the stairs. Out of those games, the Rangers have beaten the Astros by only one run an infuriating eight times.
