“Connie Magourik and Mike Shields
were the ones that approached us, meaning
the GHFCA, wondering if we could get an
all-star game to come to Baytown,” Bowl
organizer and fonner longtime REL coach
Dick Olin said.
Texas had competed against California
in an all-star game and it had been discon-
tinued. Texas found a rival in Louisiana
and the game was to be alternated between

It is hard to imagine the Bayou Bowl
without Baytown. The game began in
2003 with the 16th annual tilt in the books
after The Sun’s press deadline on Saturday
night.
The game has changed a lot over the
years.
Texas no longer plays Louisiana. In-
stead the game pits the east side of Hous-

during Hurricane Harvey. Today, she contends her home is grossly over-valued by the Appraisal District.

One hundred percent of unsocial or feral cats were being
euthanized in the Baytown shelter prior to A Life To Live’s
community cat program. Now, thanks to the City of Baytown
and Best Friends Animal Society, the group is saving five
cats a week from being euthanized like the two in the photo.

The Texas Division of
Emergency Management
has announced that Harris
County will receive its first
allocation of FEMA Hazard
Mitigation Grant Program
funds in response to Hurri-
cane Harvey.
A total of $25.6 million
is estimated to be received
out of the total $163.5 mil-
lion that the Harris County
Flood Control District re-
quested for home buyouts.
This allows the district to
be able to purchase ap-
proximately 169 homes
with $8.6 million required
local matching funds and
the $25.6 million in HMGP
funds. Additional funding
allocations from the same
grant application are ex-
pected later this year.
The National Flood In-
surance Program has stated
that Harris County had the
highest number of homes
that flooded during Harvey
and had flooded at least one
time before, totaling more
than 3,000 homes.
Karen Hastings, HCFCD
spokeswoman, said the dis-
trict submitted a grant ap-
plication to Texas Division
of Emergency Manage-
ment and FEMA in April,
requesting funding through
the FEMA program.
“This grant application
included approximately
1,000 homes for a poten-
tial home buyout, totaling
