College Park entered Friday's home opener at Woodforest Bank Stadium as heavy favorites over Cy-Fair, and the first quarter backed that up. A long touchdown run from running back Duke Stephens and a 40-plus-yard strike to wide receiver Julian Cromartie put the Cavaliers up 14-0. Then two fumbled kickoff returns in a row handed Cy-Fair the ball deep in Cavalier territory, and the Bobcats cashed in both times to tie the game before the half.

The lead changed hands repeatedly through the second half. College Park's defense scored on a tipped pass returned for a touchdown, and running back Antonio Booker broke off a 70-plus-yard score to put the Cavaliers back ahead. Quarterback Camden Hughes was hit hard and left the game more than once, forcing backup Brian Snodgrass into extended snaps at quarterback. Cy-Fair answered again with seconds left in the third quarter, then tied it once more late in regulation to send the game to overtime at 38-38.

Snodgrass ran the Cavaliers ahead in the first overtime, but Cy-Fair matched it. In the second, Cy-Fair scored and converted a two-point try to go up 53-45, and College Park's last chance, a fourth-and-goal pass to Booker with Hughes back under center, came up short. Why it matters: no home team has won yet this season at Woodforest Bank Stadium, and that now includes a College Park team many expected to cruise through Week 2.

A 307-unit apartment complex called Residences at Metropark is under construction at 8888 Metropark Drive in Shenandoah, developed by Sam Moon Group. Leasing is set to open in the summer of 2027, with move-ins beginning later that year.

Units will come in one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts, with rent starting at $1,600 a month. The community will include a pool, outdoor courtyards, a fitness center, and 6,000 square feet of ground-floor retail, and Greystar will manage the property once it's open.

The site sits within walking distance of Metropark Square, home to AMC Metropark Square 10 and Dave & Buster's. Why it matters: another few hundred homes going up steps from an existing retail hub is the kind of density Shenandoah keeps betting on as the area keeps filling in.

The Woodlands Township board is weighing whether to move its mounted patrol program, currently run by private contractor Alpha & Omega, over to commissioned deputies from the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office. The agreement with Alpha & Omega runs through Dec. 31, and no final decision has been made.

The township says a switch to the Sheriff's Office would mean broader access to dispatch and law enforcement resources, plus reduced liability for patrols on non-township property. Residents are split: Michelle Knuckles told the board the Sheriff's Office "can make arrests" and costs less, while Teresa Kenny, speaking for Alpha & Omega, called the mounted patrol "part of the fabric of The Woodlands."

The same meeting closed out the township's budget season. The board voted 7-0 to adopt a 2026 property tax rate of $0.1694 per $100 of value, down from $0.1714 the year before, splitting it into a 6-1 vote on the maintenance and operations rate and a 7-0 vote on the debt service rate. Director Shelley Sekula-Gibbs cast the lone no vote on the operations rate. Why it matters: how the township polices its trails and how it taxes its residents both got debated in the same room this week.

Texas Remodel Team, based in Spring, is run by Tim Fox, who has spent more than 40 years in the remodeling business. The company works as a design-build outfit, meaning it can carry a project from first sketch through final construction under one roof, and it's currently busiest with replacement windows, doors, and patio covers.

Fox says the mistake he sees most often is homeowners accepting quotes that are too vague to actually compare. A lower number doesn't mean much if nobody can tell what's actually included, and Texas Remodel Team leans on detailed, itemized quotes so customers know exactly what they're paying for before work starts.

The company has built a base of repeat customers who call back for project after project, something Fox points to as the real measure of the work. Why it matters: a homeowner picking a contractor for the first time now has one concrete question to ask before signing anything, does this quote actually spell out what I'm getting.

Railroad crews laying International-Great Northern track reached this stretch of piney woods at the end of a hard winter and named their camp after the season they were glad to see coming. Camp Spring was platted as a settlement in 1873. "Camp" fell off soon after, and Spring has been Spring ever since.

"Cold as a well-digger's knee." Translation: genuinely cold, the damp kind that gets into you.
