Sept. 30, 2019 — Today is the birthday of legendary actress Angie Dickinson. Her given name was Angeline Brown, but the name for which she is better known came from her first husband, semi-pro football player Gene Dickinson.

The latest edition of the Carrington/NR-S volleyball rivalry has concluded, and the Rockets will go back to the drawing board to fix some of their deficiencies.
