The Dallas Mavericks got the edge over the New Orleans Pelicans Thursday night, 111-106.
The win did come with a price, as star Luka Doncic was forced to leave in the third quarter with a bruised heel he suffered following a hard foul on a dunk attempt.
Doncic still finished with a team high 31 points despite playing only 23 minutes.
Dallas (28-25) has now won three of its last four.
The week after public comments closed to the Texas department of transportation’s (TxDOT) plan to widen Wellborn Road in south College Station, the city council is asked to oppose plans for medians. The council could not respond to comments from Karen Hall of Bryan because the item was not on the agenda of the December 12th meeting. Karen Hall of Bryan said all you have to do is see what has happened with the Texas Avenue median in Bryan. Hall said more than 100 people told TxDOT during a public meeting last month to remove medians from the plan. She closed by telling the council “When you annexed Wellborn (in 2011), you promised to protect those residents. Please keep your promise. Stand with your citizens.” TxDOT’s plans for the three mile project between Fitch and Greens Prairie Road calls for a four lane highway with a median, a traffic signal at McCullough Road, curbs and gutter, and a shared use path on the east side of the roadway.

The owner of a Jeep that was burglarized twice earlier this month on consecutive days tells Bryan police he leaves the vehicle unlocked because it has a softtop with windows that can be unzipped. After the first burglary on December 4th, the owner installed a camera. After the second burglary on December 5th, the victim submitted surveillance video to BPD. The BPD arrest report says two officers who watched the video recognized the suspect. That led to the arrest of 18 year old Trelyn Nutall of Bryan for those burglaries, a third vehicle burglary on December 5th, and engaging in organized criminal activity. The arrest report says nothing was taken in the first burglary. In the second burglary, the victim reported losing a necklace that was given to him by his grandmother before she passed away. As of December 24th, Nutall remains jailed in lieu of bonds totaling $16,000 dollars.
