Hi readers,

I hope you all had a fun and safe Halloween.

I don’t have any news to report this week, but I can fill you in on what I’ve been working on for the newsletter.

I interviewed congressional candidate Matthew Lucci Saturday and published an article on what I learned from that interview Friday.

What I learned interviewing congressional candidate Matthew Lucci

“We need someone in the position who’s actually going to get something done,” Lucci told me Saturday. “If no one else is going to step up and do it, you can’t be looking around [asking] who’s going to do this [and] who’s going to do that.”

I’ve also interviewed Burleson Elks sophomore running back Nate Jackson, who is the only sophomore in 5A-2 Region II District 5 in the top 10 in rushing yards, Burleson head coach Chad Worrell and Jackson’s personal running back coach Brandon Williams this week for a feature on Williams I’ll be publishing next week.

I’ll also be covering Centennial’s potential playoff-clincher against Azle at 7 p.m. tonight at Hornet Stadium in Azle. Make sure you follow The Burleson Buzz on Facebook for live updates.

Thanks for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Cody
