RoughRiders take series opener
After a series win against NW Arkansas earlier this week, the RoughRiders continued their winning pace against Tulsa Wednesday night.
Frisco, the Double-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers, earned a 4-2 victory after surrendering a late lead in the eighth inning.
The frame included a 2-RBI double from Chris McGuiness and an RBI single from outfielder Engel Beltre.
Righty Wilfredo Boscan was on the hill for Frisco and tossed six scoreless innings with nine strikeouts and no walks.
Boscan got a tough no-decision after a blown save from reliever Wilmer Font. Despite giving up two runs in just one inning of work though, Font earned the win after his teammates rallied in the eighth.
Ross Wolf recorded his sixth save of the season with a scoreless ninth inning for Frisco, who continued action against Tulsa Thursday night (results not available as of press time) before closing the series with a 7 p.m. contest tonight.
Modano to be enshrined in Dallas
Mike Modano’s journey to be enshrined into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame will be a short one.
The Allen Americans minority owner, and former Dallas Stars standout, will be inducted into the Class of 2012 on the ice at the Plaza of the Americas in Dallas.
Modano, Lou Lamoriello and Ed Olczyk are being inducted this year.
The U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame is in Eveleth, Minn., but inductions have rotated across cities for several years.
In addition to being a staple of the Minnesota North Stars and then Dallas Stars franchise, Modano is the NHL’s American-born leader in goals, points, playoff points and games played.
Owens signs with Seattle
Following a short-lived stint with the Allen Wranglers, Terrell Owens signed a one-year deal with the Seattle Seahawks on Tuesday.
The 39-year-old, ex-Wrangler was signed for $925,000 – the NFL’s veteran minimum.
Owens previously served as a player and co-owner for the Wranglers in an IFL career that spanned eight games, during which the wide out recorded 35 catches for 420 yards and 10 touchdowns. The Wranglers released Owens in February, citing his unwillingness to play in a late-season road trip and missing an appearance at a children’s hospital.
Owens, entering his 16th NFL season, is second in league history in receiving yards (15,934), fourth in touchdowns (156) and sixth in receptions (1,078).

UIL steroid testing results
The UIL has released its annual Anabolic Steroid Testing Report for tests conducted between September 2011 and May 2012.
During that span, 3,311 tests were conducted and confirmed nine positive results and two protocol positives, which stem from a student-athlete violating the UIL steroid-testing protocol. One resulted from a student not reporting for testing and one was the result of a substituted specimen.
In addition, 217 schools were tested which included 3,087 boys across 11 sports and 224 girls over 10 sports. The sports with the most tests conducted were football (1,366) and volleyball (30) for boys and girls, respectively.
The testing spanned grade levels 9-12, with 1,045 senior student-athletes topping the scale.
