Caught in the fray are the residents of #EaglePass … home to an ambitious & growing #binational community largely composed of #MexicanAmericans & members of the traditional #Kickapoo tribe of #Texas — all eager to get back to normal life.

Eagle Pass is the largest city in Maverick County, w/~30k residents, but it is isolated from most other U.S. #border cities. The nearest municipality is Piedras Negras in #Mexico, within eyesight across the river. Their histories & fortunes are tied together.

A pair of #Ozark counties are celebrating multiple #QuizBowl teams going to state. Hickory County's #Skyline and #Weaubleau achieved their first-ever berth to the state tournament, while Greene County's #Kickapoo and #FairGrove are making return trips.
