CUERO, TX -The Cuero community is celebrating a remarkable milestone for twin athletes Bradley Hill and Brittany Hill, who have each signed with Our Lady of the Lake University to continue their track and field careers on scholarship. The siblings, known for their dedication, discipline, and strong presence in Cuero athletics, are the children of Melissa Alcazar and Jose Alcazar.
For the Hill twins, this moment represents years of hard work and a shared commitment to excellence that began long before their high school careers. Both have been standout members of Cuero Select Track Club, competing from ninth grade through the present and earning multiple state appearances along the way. Their parallel journeys — each unique in its own right — have now led them to the same collegiate destination.
Bradley Hill: A Hurdler and Jumper on the Rise
Bradley’s track journey began in the seventh grade, and over the years he has become known for his focus, consistency, and technical skill. Coaches describe him as an athlete who leads quietly but powerfully, always willing to put in the extra work that separates good athletes from great ones.
Cuero’s Bradley Hill signs his letter of intent to compete for Our Lady of the Lake University, surrounded by medals and mementos from his track career as the community celebrates his achievement.
At OLLU, Bradley will compete in the 60‑meter hurdles during the indoor season and transition to the 110‑meter hurdles and long jump outdoors. His high school career includes a trip to the Area Track Meet in the 300‑meter hurdles during his junior year, along with three T.A.A.F. State appearances in the 110‑meter hurdles, 100‑meter dash, and long jump.
Bradley plans to pursue a degree in Athletic Training, combining his passion for sports with a future in helping athletes reach their full potential.
Brittany Hill: A Powerful Competitor in the Throws
Brittany’s path has been defined by strength, determination, and steady improvement. She first competed in track during junior high and returned to the sport her senior year, quickly reestablishing herself as a force in the throwing events. Coaches praise her for her focus, her work ethic, and her ability to rise to the occasion in high‑pressure meets.
At OLLU, Brittany will compete in shot put and weight throw during the indoor season, and transition to discus and javelin outdoors. Like her brother, she has earned three T.A.A.F. State appearances, competing in discus and representing Cuero Select Track Club with pride.

Brittany will pursue a degree in Criminal Justice, preparing for a future in public service while continuing her athletic career.
A Shared Journey, A Shared Celebration
Though Bradley and Brittany compete in different events, their stories are deeply connected — shaped by the same community, the same club, the same support system, and the same drive to succeed. Their signing with OLLU marks not only a personal achievement for each of them but also a proud moment for Cuero, which has watched the twins grow from young athletes into college‑bound competitors.
As the Hill twins prepare to take the next step in San Antonio, the Cuero community celebrates their accomplishments and the dedication behind them. Their journey reflects years of training, countless hours of practice, and the unwavering support of family, coaches, and teammates.
Cuero looks forward to cheering on Bradley and Brittany as they bring their talent, determination, and hometown pride to the collegiate stage — together.
Target will begin carrying hemp‑derived THC beverages in all Texas stores, joining a growing list of national retailers responding to consumer demand for alcohol‑free social options. The rollout includes brands such as Cann, WYNK, Trail Magic, Stigma, Gigli, Happi, and Good Feels—each offering low‑dose drinks designed for relaxation without intoxication comparable to alcohol.
Industry analysts say the move reflects a shift in consumer behavior, especially among adults seeking moderation and wellness‑oriented alternatives. The beverages typically contain 2–10 milligrams of THC, producing a mild euphoric or calming effect that users describe as “relaxed but clear‑headed.” Because the THC is absorbed through digestion, the onset is slower and smoother than smoking or vaping.
Supporters point to public‑health data showing the risks of alcohol and opioids:
Alcohol contributes to about 178,000 U.S. deaths per year (CDC).
More than 79,000 accidental opioid‑overdose deaths were recorded in 2023 (NIDA).
THC beverages have no known lethal overdose threshold and do not cause alcohol‑related organ damage.
Some older adults report that low‑dose THC drinks help manage chronic pain and reduce reliance on prescription opioids, though medical experts caution that such products should not replace professional treatment. Researchers note that cannabinoids can influence pain perception and relaxation, but effects vary by individual and dosage.
Public‑health officials continue to monitor the expanding hemp‑derived market as Congress prepares to tighten federal limits on THC content later this year. For now, retailers like Target are positioning these beverages as part of a broader trend toward functional, alcohol‑free social drinks—a category that blends wellness, moderation, and consumer curiosity.

Texas has open primaries, meaning you do not register by party. However, once you vote in one party’s primary in a given year, you are “affiliated” with that party for that year.
That means:
If you vote in the Democratic primary or runoff, you cannot vote in the Republican primary or runoff.
You also cannot participate in the other party’s convention that year.
This is required by Texas Election Code, and counties print this reminder on ballots to avoid confusion.
