Lankford plays role in turnaround
It takes most aspiring basketball players at least until adolescence to beat their dads in a game of one-on-one. But Mack Lankford can't remember a time she didn't.

For me, this is the time of year when bracket ... [Read More…]

Wildcat women extend win streak to three
It has been a tale of two seasons for the Wildcat women's basketball team this year. The first was the non-conference schedule where ACU went 3-9.

Six games later, the 'Cats are 4-2 in the conference ... [Read More…]
ACU grads win Rangers Fans of the Year
They sit in the same seats most games - section 50, row 1, seats 15-18. Their seats overlook the left side of the bullpen. Sometimes, in front of the seats on the wall, is a hand-painted sign. Many fans who tuned into televised Texas Ranger baseball games this season probably saw two 20-something-year-old guys sitting behind that sign. ... [Read More…]
