∙ Pflugerville won for the fourth week in a row, slamming Navarro 73-0 in the District 11-5A DII opener last night. The Panthers will look for their fifth win next Friday taking on the Wildcats at Elgin.

LBJ remains unbeaten after downing previously unbeaten Wimberley last week, but the Jaguars have a big task in front of them tonight as they take on private school powerhouse Dallas Parish Episcopal.

∙ Also unbeaten in 4A, Lampasas faces familiar foe Wimberley tonight.

Consol uses big second half to remain undefeated, beating Austin Anderson 56-28


AUSTIN, Texas (KBTX) – A&M Consolidated used a big second half to pull away from Austin Anderson Friday night at Nelson Stadium. The Tigers won 56-28, improving to 5-0 on the season and 3-0 in 5A-Division I Region III District 12 play.

The teams were tied at 21 at halftime, but two quick scores in the third quarter by Consol proved to be the difference.

The Tigers opened the scoring on a long touchdown pass from Will Hargett to Darius Roberts.

Consol would take a 21-7 lead with just less than three minutes to play in the first half thanks to a fourth-down trick play. A double-reverse pass saw Hargett open in the end zone for the score.

However, the Trojans would even things up before halftime with a pair of touchdowns from Ed Small. The first coming on a highlight-reel, one-handed catch to make it 21-14. His second interception came as time expired in the half on a interception returned for a touchdown.

Consol pounced in the second half and was able to keep the Trojans at bay, only allowing 7 points.

The Tigers have an open week before hosting Lehman on Oct. 11.

Inside the challenge of Austin’s dating scene: It’s not you, it’s everyone

Inside the challenge of Austin’s dating scene: It’s not you, it’s everyone


Austin’s disappointing dating scene seems to be an ongoing joke on social media.

Countless videos of users sharing their disastrous dating experiences have been posted on TikTok in the past three months alone.

The city is partly known for its indie, eccentric, and fragmentedly spread wealthy population. It attracts a mix of people with its scenic trails, music festivals, and tech startups, so what’s going on? Is Austin cursed? Is it the same in other Texas cities?

A video circulated on social media of someone claiming Austin as one of the “Top five worst cities for dating entering 2024.” Newly moved-in Austin resident Julia Mazur vowed to make it her life’s mission to change that narrative around the city’s dating scene. She recently moved to Austin after 10 years of living in Los Angeles.

“I am about to plan an event that is going to take Austin off of this list,” she said in a stitch response to the original video. “And I believe in myself to do it because I worked at Tinder for six years, I have a dating and relationships podcast called ‘Pretty Much Done’; I know a thing or two about dating.”

However, the task hasn’t been without its challenges, as Mazur shared in a video last month that the city didn’t meet her expectations.

“I was incredibly hopeful,” Mazur said in the video. “I was like, ‘I’m moving to the South, the guys are going to be so great.’ But what happened is that I was humbled extremely quickly.”

It led Mazur to understand that it wasn’t Austin–specifically that was the issue.

“I realized that dating is just bad in every city,” Mazur said in the video.

Whether that’s because of increased social media use, a yearslong pandemic, or the price of dating thanks to inflation, no one knows for sure. But she’s not alone in her thinking.

Data from Pew Research Center cites that even before the pandemic, “nearly half of U.S. adults — and a majority of women — say that dating has become harder in the last 10 years.” Then, in another study conducted by them two years later, 32% of U.S. adults said they found dating got even harder during the pandemic.

To ease the challenge of modern dating in her corner of the country, Mazur has begun hosting an event called Hot Takes Hot Dates in Austin with Joel Monteleone, a tech life coach.

The event launched in mid-August and is meant to “prove that our differences can actually bring us together.”

“It’s not like a cheesy speed dating event. We talk about our dating icks, we debate hot takes; it’s a group event. It’s super fun, it’s super low pressure,” Mazur said in a video.

This week, residents have a chance to come to their own conclusions on whether there’s hope for Austin’s dating scene.

The next event is on Sept. 27 at the Wiggle Room, located at 612 Nueces St. Tickets are available at https://tickets.vulcanpresents.com/e/hot-takes-hot-dates-2.
