McKinney Christian takes the TAPPS 4A boys basketball crown

McKinney Christian capped its season Saturday, Feb. 28, with a 49-31 win over Houston Westbury Christian in the TAPPS 4A boys state championship game. The Mustangs used a decisive third-quarter run and held their opponent scoreless in that frame, turning a tight halftime margin into a comfortable finish. For local fans, it is a big program moment and another reminder that late February in Texas can mean championship hardware.

Early voting is over; Election Day is Tuesday, March 3

In the run-up to the March 3 Texas primary elections, early voting wrapped up Friday, Feb. 27. If you missed the early window, Election Day voting is scheduled for Tuesday, March 3. In Collin County, voting centers are typically used, meaning registered voters can cast a ballot at a vote center rather than being limited to a single neighborhood precinct. Plan ahead for busier after-work lines and bring an accepted photo ID.

Weekend community calendar: McKinney Farmers Market winter hours

For a lower-key local stop, the McKinney Farmers Market at Chestnut Square kept its winter schedule on Saturday, Feb. 28, running in the morning at 315 S. Chestnut St. It is a useful option for groceries and local goods, and it is also a steady way to support small vendors as the city transitions from winter to spring programming.

Quick takeaways

Sports: a state title comes home to McKinney.
Civics: the next big date on the calendar is March 3.
Community: winter market hours are still in effect as March begins.
