Our first time just reciting the plot.  Stay for all the real Texas History!  What happens when you just invent a guy?  How do you prove you are military genius?  Do you know who the greatest American is?    It's not Sam Houston, the focus of this biopic.   If you want to watch this one, look it up on bing!

 

The next movie is Three Kings (1999).

North Dakota State is all over the national football map. The Bison were mentioned plenty Thursday night when Trey Lance was drafted third overall by San Francisco.

Kolpack and Izzo break that down and what it means for the Bison.

They also preview this weekend's FCS quarterfinal game between NDSU and Sam Houston, as the two teams are set to meet in the postseason for a fifth time.

On San Antonio's East Side, San Antonio ISD is offering innovative programs to meet the needs of the community. At Young Men's Leadership Academy, students can experience brother and camaraderie in a single-sex environment for boys in grades 4-12, while gaining valuable lessons in leadership and character. At Sam Houston High School, students enrolled in the Cyber P-TECH USA program learn about cybersecurity careers through job shadowing and internships, while earning a high school diploma, industry certifications and an associate's degree. Derrick Brown, Principal at Young Men's Leadership Academy, and Kaye Robinson, Coordinator at Cyber P-TECH USA at Sam Houston High School, join us to share the benefits of these programs and how they respond to the needs of the East Side community. These programs, along with other SAISD choice schools, are currently holding their second enrollment window through April 16, 2021.

Most of you have probably heard of Antonio López de Santa Anna, the self-proclaimed "Napoleon of the West," and the story of the Alamo. What you probably haven't heard is how, just a few months after the Alamo, Santa Anna parked his army directly next to Sam Houston's much smaller American force by the San Jacinto River and ordered everyone to take a siesta. Houston literally caught the Mexican force napping and after convincing himself that the scene before him wasn't some heat-induced hallucination, he plowed his troops through Santa Anna's army while they slept, crushing them in just 18 minutes!
