Live from Durley Stadium ...

Good afternoon everyone from Durley Stadium, site of the 58th Annual Texas Southern University Relays. It's one of the largest track and field meets in the country - some say it is the largest; others say it's the third or fourth.
We'll be here both today and tomorrow. I'll be talking to a few area coaches getting caught up on how their seasons are going, and tomorrow Chad Washington and I will split coverage. I'll be here and at the University of Houston for the field events in the morning and early afternoon; Chad will be around in the evening for the running finals.
As usual, the top teams in our area will include Hightower, Elsik and Cinco Ranch. We've already seen a few of those teams and will be seeing them and a lot more this weekend.
If you're coming out, remember your sunscreen no matter your skin tone! It's not too hot but the sun will be bright.
And if you don't come here, remember the other big event in the area is the Space City Classic at 6 p.m. Saturday at the Berry Center. Lots of credit goes to Tonya Greene and her co-workers with the classic for publicizing the heck out of what was a fun but not crowded event a year ago. I certainly expect to hear about a great game - and great crowd - tomorrow night.
Have a great weekend!

PS You may enjoy the music. The P.A. announcer just cued up "Can't Get Enough of Your Love Babe" by Barry White. Awesome. Thankfully no one saw me groovin' to that and typing this! :)]
