Pair of decomposing bodies found Rolling the plans out in local home, investigation now underway by Seguin Police By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera (Seguin) -- A welfare check at a local home has resulted in the discovering of two decomposing bodies in Seguin. The bodies were found Monday afternoon in the 2000 block of Friesenhahn Road. The bodies were reportedly discovered after a neighbor contacted the Seguin Police Department. Seguin PD Investigator and Lt. Lance Wright says only a few details are being released as they look into not only identifying the victims but also working to determine how long they had been dead in the home. "Neighbors hadn't seen their neighbors in a while. (We) went out there. Officers noticed just from outside the house what they thought to be a body -- forced entry into the home and discovered another deceased person. Both bodies were badly decomposed and basically, that's really all we have at this point and time. It's still under investigation," said Wright. Wright says as of today, officials can't say

Kids bands, garage bands invited to compete in Battle of the Bands fundraiser "Then, the top three to four bands from each of these preliminaries go on to the grand finale at Gruene Hall. It's a great opportunity for these kids to perform at these venues that we have and they have an opportunity to win a cash prize of $1,000 and the winner is also going to get to play at the Schlitterbahn, Rock the Bahn Concert Series during the summertime. They'll get to go on air to sing their song. It's a neat opportunity," said Koehler.

By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera (Seguin) -- A local group will be rocking for kids later this month. Communities in Schools, which services Seguin ISD's high school, both middle schools, and a couple of elementary campuses, is looking to extend one of its annual preliminary event fundraisers in Seguin. Dawn Koehler, of Communities in Schools, says the non-profit organization which help meets the everyday needs of local students will be hosting its 18th annual Rock and Roll for Kids Battle of the Bands contest in Seguin.

Koehler says they are working with the former frontman for Cross Canadian Ragweed to make preparations for the event. She says they are looking for these special kids, who have special talents that will be on full display during the contest.

"We have been traditionally doing that event in New Braunfels for 17 years. So this is our 18th year but we want to be able to do events in the other communities that we serve not just New Braunfels so we came up with this idea to do Battle of the Bands where we could get kids involved in this process as well. So we are having these preliminary events for Rock and Roll for Kids and then the grand finale at Gruene Hall. But the first preliminary event is at the Warehouse Seguin, Feb. 23. It's a Sunday afternoon and what we are asking kids to do -who have a band like their garage band not the marching bands but kids who have put together their bands whether it be a rock band, country band, rap band, mariachi band -- whatever it might be - for them to come and compete. So, there's three preliminary events. One for Feb. 23 at Warehouse Seguin; one on March 22 at Krause's Cafe and one on March 29 at Blue Bonnet Palace," said Koehler. "So, the kids decide what venue they want to perform at. They don't perform at all three." Once at Gruene Hall, Koehler says these top bands, made up of students ages 12 to 18 years of age, will go on to perform publicly and to win some great prizes.

"We are working with the School of Rock, Cody Canada and his wife Shannon. They have a School of Rock and they are helping us with this too and what they have taught us about this process is a lot of kids who are in bands are a lot like our Communities in Schools kids," said Koehler. The first semifinals will again be held at the Warehouse in Seguin this Sunday Feb. 23; Bands may also compete on March 22 at Krause's Cafe or on March 29 at the Blue Bonnet Palace. Those kid garage bands looking to sign-up are asked to visit CIS-SCT.org. Bands will be asked to submit two songs plus a video. Communities In Schools of South Central Texas provides services at schools in Seguin, New Braunfels, Marion, Schertz, Cibolo, Luling and many more. It is said to work "directly inside schools, building relationships that empower students to succeed inside and outside the classroom."

Navarro girls end bi-district drought, advance with dominant defensive effort vs. Pearsall (Pleasanton) - Navarro has an area round game to prepare for in the 4A girls basketball playoffs for the first time since 2014 after cruising past Pearsall 50-20 in the bi-district bracket Monday night at the Pleasanton Sports Complex.

"You know our press, I tell the girls, teams are in post-season mode, and a lot of teams know we're going to try to do that stuff, and they're ready for it. I thought they handled our full-court press

"She (Pearsall coach Arlene Silva) had them ready and working hard in their zone, and I figured that's what they'd be doing. Sara's always there for us, and she's been solid here for the second half of district here, hitting some big threes for us. Hitting three of them for us, that just helps open things up more for everybody else." Laylin Sturm, Ryanne Hepp, and Haleigh Ortiz added seven points apiece. Mary Gilliam finished with four, the first on a transition layup after a spectacular bounce pass through traffic by Benner. Micayla Hawes rounded out the scoring with two points.
