DICKINSON, Texas – A mayoral race in Galveston County will be decided in an unusual, but not unprecedented, way. A recount Tuesday confirmed that each candidate received 1,010 votes of the 2,020 votes that were cast. In this case, the names of each candidate will be placed in a hat. The drawing will happen at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Dickinson City Council Chambers, where the mayor of neighboring Friendswood will draw the name. Some races have been decided by other games of chance such as flipping a coin or drawing cards.

It was Bellaire, who was one game away from reaching the state tourney. The Cards made school history for the second time last year, advancing to the Regional Finals. Well, their three stars return, so state is a legit aspiration. District MVP Jaylon Calvin and first-teamer Elijah Lawrence (Rice-commit) make up the best backcourt in the city.
