Leander ISD voters will decide next month to either enact or oppose a $454.4 million bond proposal that would construct four new schools, improve safety of facilities and accommodate for projected growth in the district.
Last week, the Austin Chamber of Commerce endorsed the bond proposal, citing its support for how the proposal will keep the tax rate steady, and how it takes current and future growth into account. Continue reading

Terry Davison Auto Imports on RM 2222 near H-E-B recently sold to Apple Sales & Leasing. Apple owner Scott Crossett is excited to do business in the Four Points area, though it’s not his first time to own a dealership at that location.
Crossett and Davison have a long shared history in the auto business. Davison bought his RM 2222 location in 1995, then sold it, then Crossett bought it from that owner in 2000. Crossett then sold it back to Davison in 2002, where it became Terry Davison Auto Imports.
In addition, Crossett owned Apple Sport Imports on RM 620 N, a location he first purchased from Davison in 1998. There he sold the used cars from his business Apple Leasing, a lease facilitator.
“We were leasing lots of cars. But as the leases started maturing… I’ve got these really, really nice used cars. So I thought, why don’t I get a used car lot,” said Crossett. “That was my first business deal with Terry.”
One of Crossett’s employee partners at the time wanted the opportunity for ownership, and in December 2007 successfully purchased the Apple Sport Imports dealership from Crossett.
Now for his newest venture, the Four Points Apple Sales & Leasing lot, Crossett says there will be some positive changes. Customers will be able to purchase or lease used inventory.

With arguably the toughest test on their 25-6A schedule out of the way, the Vipers (2-3, 0-1) return to Monroe Stadium for a homecoming matchup with Lehman on Friday.
Justin Moore’s mastery of the offense has been on display the last three weeks, and it will be needed again, as the Vipers have struggled in all three losses with the run game. In two wins, Vandegrift amassed 361 yards on the ground. In three losses, the Vipers averaged just 40 rushing yards in each outing.
“Justin is getting better with each game and being able to handle the pressure of being a 6A starting quarterback. It’s a big job and he’s been up to the task,” said Vipers head coach Drew Sanders.
Defensively, Vandegrift has shown it can stand toe to toe with one of the best teams in the state. Lehman won’t be that kind of test for Vandegrift this week, but coach Sanders and the rest of the staff will be certain to focus on avoiding any sort of letdown while facing the 1-4 Lobos.
Lehman’s lone victory came against Austin Akins in Week 3, a game that marked the Lobos’ best offensive performance of the season, as they outscored Akins 42-35. Continue reading
