Lubbock's Week in Review: Sports, Food, and Community
Sports: A Homecoming Deal
Bailey Maupin, a standout player for the Texas Tech Lady Raiders, has partnered with Western Bank through an NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) deal. What makes this collaboration unique is their shared roots in Gruver, a small Panhandle town.
"This deal is more than just a sponsorship; it's a connection to my past and a commitment to the community."
Governance: Concerns at the Lubbock Expo Center
The Lubbock Expo Center has been under scrutiny due to transparency and mismanagement concerns. During a recent meeting, Carl Isett, a board member, criticized the project, stating that millions have been spent without much progress.
Despite these concerns, the board approved a request for additional funding to revamp the design. The decision now moves to the Lubbock County Commissioners Court for final approval.
Food: Pro Kitchen's Hit "Best Bite"
Pro Kitchen, a popular food truck known for its healthier options, kicked off the year with a delicious "best bite." Their chicken and steak bowl with white rice and Green Goddess dressing was a hit.
- Freshly made to order (takes a bit longer, but worth the wait)
- Reasonable prices
- Generous portions
If you spot the blue truck around town, it's definitely worth a try!
What's Next?
- A new fencing club is in the works.
- The latest Girl Scout cookie flavor is on the way.
- A story about a popular restaurant in a hospital in the Permian Basin area is coming up later this month.
Stay tuned for more updates!
