Guided by first-year head coach and alum Brodie Flack, the team leaned on an underdog mentality, overcame injuries, and captured a district title while building a culture they believe will sustain future success. 
• Abraham Quintanilla Was a Fierce Protector of His Daughter Selena's Legacy (texasmonthly.com) — Lake Jackson figures into the life story of Abraham Quintanilla Jr., who moved there to work at Dow Chemical and raise his young family before guiding daughter Selena toward Tejano stardom.
