The 20,500-seat, $240 mil­ lion privately-financed stadium is scheduled to openinthe spring of2021 on city-owned land near the Domain. Earlier this week, team president Andy Loughnane said theclub would welcome amateur soccer events suchas the UIL's annual finals as well asthe Big 12 soc­ cer tournamentfeatur­ ingthe University of Texaswomen'sprogram ifthose opportunities present themselves. Kate Hector, media coordina- tor for the University Interscholastic League, said there is nolong­ termagreement to host the state soc- cer cbnmpionsbips in Georgetown. "All state champion­ ship venues are selected to best suit thespecific needs ofthat event, tnlc­ ingintoconsideration travel, hotel avail­ ability andthe venue itself," Hector said. Thereis also no UIL rule specifying that the games beplayed on turf. Thenew MLS venue willhave natural grass, and with thecurrent format of18 matches in four days the playing surface would undoubt­ edlybea consideration for Austin FC. Timing could also pose a chal­ lenge, as the high school soccer season overlaps with the MLS calendar. TheColumbus Crew, formerly operated by Austin FC chairmanand CEO Anthony Precourt with Loughnane as president ofbusiness operations, hosts Ohio highschool state soc­ cer championships each November at Mapfre Stadium, afterthe MLS regular season and often during the MLS Cupplayoffs.

A year after results Crom a youth risk behavior survey showed ~ ~ stu­ dents were feeling anxious, depressed and, at times, suicidal, the district is taking steps to improve its health and social emotional learning program to equip teachers, staff and students with better mental health tools. The needs have changed for students over the past few years, so the district has to change as well, Jennifer Lyon, director ofhealth and social emotional learning, said during a school board meeting inMt1rch. The district will imple­ ment a three-year plan that includes staffing changes for campus counselors and also includes hiring a licensed clinical social worker, mental health training for staffand pro­ gram initiatives to help students cope with losses ranging from friendship conflicts to college appli­ cation rejections. Hiring a districtwide social worker will help serve the needs of stu­ dents who might beat risk for anxiety or depression, Lyon said. Through a refer­ ral process, the district's mental health professional will be able to recommend a long-term solution that could include therapy and other programs that fit the needs ofthe student, Lyon said. Expanding its Second Step program, which teaches coping and resil­ ience skills, to reach element ary students through the secondgrade and now b.igh schoo l freshmen, will also help equip students and teachers with the skills to communicate and problem solve. The pro­ gram is currently used in pre- kindergarten, kin­ dergarten and all middle school classrooms. Lyon said the district's counselors will also be trained on bow to recog­ nize signs of mental health problems such as anxiety and depression and be able toget students tosomeone who can help them. Local therapist Sarah Cortez said she sees many students who are expe­ riencing anxiety with transitions to high school and college. She said some students feel pressure todo well academically so they can gel into a good college. She said it's important to remind students to take a moment to breathe and to empower and encourage them. Teachers, parents, coaches and therapists, check in daily with high school students to make sure they are handling stress well. She said most adolescent patient she works say they don't tell adults about their issues and instead suffer in silence. "There's just a lot of pressure and (students) need to learn to breathe, enjoy the moment and enjoy just being a kid, n Cortez said. "How can we evolve and continue lo be strong as a country with­ out our kids being under stress? I know there's a solution and I am glad to see a program helping with that." StateSen. Larry Taylor, R-Friendswood, is trying to make some headway at the state level with recently filed Senate Bill 11, which focuses on violence and secu­ rity in schools as well as mental health coun­ seling. The proposed bill would require local mental health authorities to employ a mental health professional to serveas a resource for school dis­ tricts, said Emily Dove, policy analyst for Taylor's office. Lyon said most school districts in the region already employ social workers or mental health professionals, so the plan is to create this position and functing for it as part of the next budget cycle, which began in April, and hire someone for the 2019-20 school year. Clear bag policy beginning at the Pfield

Districtto enforce pollcystarting In August

By Arlana Garcia ag:irc:[email protected]

To improve safety and security, the Pflugerville school district will be implementing a clear bag policy for athletic events at the Pfield stadium beginni.og next school year. Dist rict Athletic Director Todd Raymond announced the new policy in a district news release. "The safety of our stu- dents, parents and fans in attendance at our sporting events is our No. I priority at the The Pfield," he said in the release. "This clear bag policy will help us keep everyone in attendance atour football and soccer games safe." To bring a bag to an athletic event at the Pfleld, bags must beclear and not exceed u incbes in length or height and 6 inches in width, or be a clear one-gallon plastic storagebag, accordingto therelease. Thepolicyalso allowsonebagperperson. All bags carried into athletic events must be clear plastic, vinylorPVC and have a maximum of one logo imprint not exceeding 4.5 inches tall and 3.4 inches wide. Theonlynon-clear bags that will be allowed into the P£ield will be small bags, with or without a strap, and no larger than the size of a hand, like a clutch. Under the new policy, backpacks, duffel bags, mesh bags, purses, large fanny packs, large tote bags, reusable grocery totes, diaper bags and camera cases will not be allowed, therelease said. Exceptionstothepolicy will be made for creden­ tialed media and those with necessary medical items after proper inspec­ tion at designated areas, therelease said. "Essentially we don't have the staff to search bags for thatmany people so this allows us to see what is being brought intothefacility,• saiddis­ trictspokeswomanTamm Spence on what spurred thenewpolicy. The city ofFflugervtlle used a clear bag policy for the 2018 July Fourth Pfirecracker Pfestival at the Pfield. Whether the policywillbeimplemented for anyothereventsatthe Ptieldwill beatthediscre­ tionoftheschool district, city Communications DiiectorTerri Toledo said. In2017, the University ofTexas implemented its own clear bagpolicy, and the Austin, andHays scliool districts are among those in the area that have announced in the past year similar clearbag policies. "We are coordinating with other school districts in the area, like Leander, Georgetown and Round Roel(, to make sure we're all on the same page," Spence said. "I've been toldeveryone seems to be working toward thesame policies for the upcoming season."

Wilson flashes potential with touchdown catch

By Joey Kaufman Th<> Columbus Dispatch

Garrett Wilson was cross­ ing the goal line at Ohio Stadium, gliding toward the back-corner pylon, when he peeredinto the afternoon sky in anticipation of thepass. The timing worked just right. As Wilson turned his head and leaped, he extended his arms and snatched the ball over Sevyn Banks, a taller coruerback, for an 18-yard touchdown catch. It was an eye-popping play inthe first ho.lf of Ohio State's spring game onSaturday, not only because of the catch's high degree of difficulty but because it offered fans in attendance their first glimpse of Wtlson, thetalentedfresh­ man from High School whoenrolledasernes­ terearly. For Wilson's teammates, it was just part of a string of similarly spectacular snags seen in practices the past month.
