March 25th Texas Onward - MISD Fishing Montgomery & Weekly Team looking to Advance Music Mudbugs Gas Prices Average gasoline prices in Texas have fallen 7.0 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.00/g today, according to GasBuddy's survey of 13,114 stations in Texas. Prices in Texas are 4.0 cents per gallon higher than a month ago and stand 90.2 cents per gallon lower than a year ago. The national average price of diesel has fallen 5.6 cents in the last week and stands at $4.25 per gallon. According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Texas was priced at $2.59/g yesterday while the most expensive was $4.17/g, a difference of $1.58/g. The lowest price in the state yesterday was $2.59/g while the highest was $4.17/g, a difference of $1.58/g. The national average price of gasoline has fallen 4.2 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.40/g today. The national average is up 4.3 cents per gallon from a month ago and stands 82.9 cents per gallon lower than a year ago, according to GasBuddy data compiled from more than 11 million weekly price reports covering over 150,000 gas stations across the country. Historical gasoline prices in Texas and the national average going back ten years: March 20, 2022: $3.90/g (U.S. Average: $4.23/g) March 20, 2021: $2.64/g (U.S. Average: $2.88/g) March 20, 2020: $1.89/g (U.S. Average: $2.11/g) March 20, 2019: $2.36/g (U.S. Average: $2.60/g) March 20, 2018: $2.32/g (U.S. Average: $2.56/g) March 20, 2017: $2.07/g (U.S. Average: $2.29/g) March 20, 2016: $1.82/g (U.S. Average: $1.98/g) March 20, 2015: $2.22/g (U.S. Average: $2.43/g) March 20, 2014: $3.34/g (U.S. Average: $3.53/g) March 20, 2013: $3.56/g (U.S. Average: $3.70/g) Neighboring areas and their current gas prices: Midland Odessa- $3.01/g, down 9.2 cents per gallon from last week's $3.11/g. San Antonio- $3.01/g, down 11.0 cents per gallon from last week's $3.12/g. Austin- $3.04/g, down 5.9 cents per gallon from last week's $3.10/g. "The broad concern over recent failures of the U.S. and global banking system has put enough downward pressure on oil prices that we saw a reprieve in rising gasoline prices in the national average last week. But, it may be temporary in nature, and is unlikely to be a long lasting trend," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. "While California and areas of the West Coast saw some moderation in price, supply challenges amidst the transition to summer gasoline have led to sharp price increases in Arizona, and other markets saw varying impacts at the gas pump over the last week. Should the outlook for the banking sector improve, we could again see gasoline prices race higher, while continued or additional distress could raise the possibility of a broader economic slowdown, keeping gasoline prices in check. Overall, there are a lot of possibilities." SOURCE GasBuddy

Get ready for the 3rd Annual Montgomery Music & Mudbugs Fest happening on Saturday March 25th with Mark Chesnutt, Randall King and a whole lot more!
This past Saturday March 18th, the MISD Fishing Team along with 21 other area Houston Division Programs descended upon Lake Limestone. The week before was “Chamber of Commerce” weather, with temperatures in the 80’s, and as one of our Captains
Sean Hoernke said, “the fish were munching.” Well, “Mother Nature”, or possibly “Old Man Winter,” or both of them combined, and had other plans for us. A blustery Cold Front blew through on Friday before the tournament, dropping temperatures by 30
degrees, and of course, changing the wind direction out of the North. The combined squad from both Lake Creek and Montgomery High Schools were not deterred in the least bit. At stake, was the chance for the MISD Fishing Team to win their 8th Divisional Title in 9
years of competing, as well as the opportunity for many of our Teams to qualify for t h e R e g i o n a l Championship. Leading the charge was the team of Trevor Mahoney and Kason Cryer. This pair brought in an impressive 5 fish limit that weighed 18.02 pounds, claiming first place in a field of 134 Individual Teams from 22 programs. By winning this event, these Anglers were awarded two thousand dollars in scholarship money. Following closely behind was the team of Morgan Scott and Michael Smith. These Anglers captured third place with 4 fish, which weighed a whopping 17.08 pounds,
