Two long-debated changes in Texas high school sports gained momentum Wednesday. The UIL moved girls flag football one step closer to sanctioning, directing staff to develop an implementation plan. It also approved a 35-second shot clock pilot program. houstonchronicle.com/sports/…

Dusty Baker's thoughts on managing Jose Altuve in his new memoir: "Pound for pound, he was the baddest dude in the land and a model of perseverance. He summed up the character of that team, built on perseverance, belief, and staying positive."

⚾️ NEW: From winter workouts to Dell Diamond, how Tomball won its third state baseball title: “It’s a grind. It’s nonstop baseball. I maybe got one day off every month. I don’t know. This whole team worked incredibly hard for this win. We’ve been waiting for this all year.” @tomball_bsball @TomballISD @THS__athletics @TISDTHS @handal_dave @NolanRush24 @cj_sampson7 @CatcherHopkins #UILState #txhsbaseball houstonchronicle.com/sports/…

Sarah Langs is Working.
For Lou Gehrig Day I talked to and wrote about baseball’s indomitable stat queen, who is producing just as much as ever.
“A great note isn’t great because it came from someone with ALS — it just is. There’s no park adjustments.”

Sampson says UH men’s basketball may eventually need to add a general manager - but for now he likes to be “hands-on” with everything in program.
“We may have to go to that eventually, but right now I prefer to be hands-on. I don’t like someone else to go shopping for my groceries. I like shopping for my own groceries.”

There’s a good turnout by the Kingwood Photo Club as Jason Fochtman of the Chronicle speaks about baseball photography. @JFoch is one of the best photographers in America.
I brought my middle daughter Maya, a rising junior at Yale. She shoots for Yale Athletics in her free time.

After nearly 27 years as a reporter for the Associated Press, my time with the company has abruptly come to an end. I was part of a group of AP employees around the country who were laid off today. I was hoping I could survive layoffs after buyouts but it was not to be. (1/ 7)
