Breckenridge

The Breckenridge City Commissioners met Tuesday and did not approve a parking ordinance that would have made it illegal to park vehicles on unimproved surfaces. They also gave awards to city employees who have been with Breckenridge for an extended period of time.

On top of this, they tabled a public hearing regarding the rezoning of Wheeler and Elliott Street to allow for townhouses. They will have a new vote for it at the Planning and Zoning Commission next Thursday, which will determine if the P&Z board sends a recommendation to the city for approval.

The All-District list was released, with 13 Breckenridge Buckaroos taking home honors. The Bucks finished the season 4-6, qualifying for the playoffs and ending the season with a 34-27 playoff loss to the Brock Eagles.

The MVP’s on the season Rance Russell for defense. Russell is a senior. The defensive newcomer of the year went to Jonas Arellano, a sophomore.

A third meeting will be held regarding the rezoning of Wheeler and Elliot Street to allow for townhouses, due to an ineligible vote casted in the prior meeting. The new meeting will be held Thursday, Dec. 13.

After two tumultuous meetings for the city of Breckenridge’s Planning and Zoning Commission, where several from the public and the city showed to argue for or against a townhouse development project, the commission will hold its third one before it goes to the city in January.

The City of Breckenridge issued two boil water notices effective Nov. 29. The first impacts the areas between North Parks and North Pecan, and from West Elm to the northern end of the system.

The Planning and Zoning Commissioners met Tuesday evening for the second time regarding the rezoning of a certain part of town, which would allow the building of townhouses on Elliott Street. They passed the redistricting in a 3-2 vote.

The Breckenridge Buckaroos season came to a halt Thursday night with a 34-27 playoff loss to the Brock Eagles.

The Bucks will finish their season with a 4-7 record, placing fourth in their district and securing a playoff spot.

Despite the loss and broken hearts to accompany it, the game was a thrilling one to witness. It included a 21-point comeback by the Bucks in the second half, as well as several big plays from both sides and mistakes to match.
