The federal board initially de-

there was insufficient evidence
of local support for the modifica-

This time, changing the name of

by unanimous resolutions from
the Baytown City Council and
the Harris County Commission-

Barbers Hill is the first known Class
5A or 6A school to achieve such a feat
in the same year and seventh all-time
with the last being Class IA D’Hanis in
2019.
“This ending and Thursday, every-
thing about it was crazy,” Barbers Hill
head coach David Denny said. “It’s all
about who can handle the distractions
the best. We did not play good, clean
baseball by any means, but we end up
winning. The old phrase of getting one
more run than them and get on the bus
and go home? That’s what we did.”

A federal judge in
Houston has dismissed a
lawsuit filed by a fonner
nurse at Houston Method-
ist Baytown hospital and
116 other employees of the
Houston Methodist system.
The employees sought
to block Houston Method-
ist from requiring all of its
employees — with narrow
exemptions — to be vacci-
nated against COVID-19.
Nurse Jennifer Bridges
and the other employees
had claimed the mandate
was illegal for several rea-
sons, but the judge dis-
agreed on each point and
granted the health care sys-
tem’s motion to dismiss.
One of the allegations
was that the vaccines were
experimental and danger-
ous and that requiring them
was essentially involuntary
experimentation. The law-
suit claimed this was pro-
hibited and equated it with
Nazi experimentation on
prisoners.
Judge Lynn N. Hughes,
in his written ruling, said
the claim that currently
available COVID-19 vac-
cines are experimental and
dangerous was both false
and irrelevant.
He noted he was not rul-
ing on the safety or effec-
tiveness of the vaccine.
