This month could be the turning debt for all student debt cancellation. A Brazos Valley resident weighs in on the uncertainty it causes for their future.

BRYAN, Texas — Student debt, for millions of Americans, starts out as a small loan that turns into tens of thousands of debt post-graduation.

While student debt relief has been on hold for nearly 3 years now, those living in the Brazos Valley like Amber Robertson are concerned for the future as she plans for a helpful outcome for all.

What began as a grand beneficial gesture when President Joe Biden first announced relief for borrowers back in August has been soured because of how polarizing the issue is politically.

Furthermore, federal courts have gotten involved, dragging out the issue out and leaving Americans in search of debt relief feeling stranded.

"We're living for everyday, everyday, not knowing what's gonna come against today or tomorrow," said Robertson. "A person who has started college here and things like that and then had to go to a different school I think it was amazing."

Robertson started at a local college in town, but transitioned to Corinthians colleges, a private institution.

When the news of student debt cancellation came about in the midst of the pandemic, she was uncertain for not just herself, but others who were also in a similar situation.

"My school lost accreditation, which was very sad because now it pretty much puts anybody that went to a school who lost accreditation at the very bottom of the totem pole," said Robertson.

She feels like she's starting over as lawmakers continue to debate if borrowers will end up worse off financially post-pandemic.

Additionally, this comes off the heels of the Supreme Court decision to rule the fate of student debt cancellation, which will take place at the end of February.

While Robertson and others are concerned about what the outcome will be, financial advisor Jay Matters wants to remind people to think about the future before making major financial decisions that will affect you long-term.

He also advises people to get to know their debt and use financial programs to better comprehend what type of debt you have.

Ultimately, student debt remains an unknown factor in the futures of many Americans. Two court cases related to the issue are headed to the Supreme Court where they will begin to hear oral arguments on Feb. 28.

But who knows? This month could be the possible turning point to possibly eliminate thousands of dollars of debt for millions of Americans.

Full of wonder and natural beauty, what Woodville may lack in size it makes up for in tremendous offerings for visitors and inhabitants alike.

Stop by the African American Museum and its great exhibits, tour the Rosemont Mansion, or perhaps just take a simple stroll the Main Street where a plethora of 19^th century structures continue to stand.

One year ago, The Colony girls basketball team won just nine games and missed the playoffs for the second consecutive season. Fast-forward to Tuesday, and the Lady Cougars completed a historic turnaround.

The Colony used a 22-1 third-quarter run to rally for a 49-26 win against Frisco Wakeland and clinch the District 9-5A title. It is the first district title won by the Lady Cougars since 2017.

The Lady Cougars and Lady Wolverines traded big scoring runs.

The Colony led 16-7 at the end of the first quarter, but Wakeland countered with a 12-1 run in the second quarter to rally for a 19-17 halftime lead. But the Lady Cougars proceeded to turn the tables on the Lady Wolverines in the third quarter, blitzing the Lady Wolverines with a 22-1 spurt to take a 37-20 lead into the fourth quarter.

Senior Kahlen Norris scored 14 points to pace The Colony. The Lady Cougars finished the regular season with a 25-9 record -- an improvement of 16 wins from the previous season.

The Colony will play Frisco Heritage in a Class 5A bi-district playoff game, set for 6:30 p.m. Monday at Hebron High School.

Rinse and repeat

Winning a district title is nothing new to the Newman Smith boys basketball team.

The Trojans won back-to-back district championships in the 2019-20 and 2020-21 seasons, having finished 29-1 in conference play over those two seasons.

On Tuesday, Newman Smith defeated Creekview, 74-56, to capture their third district title in the last four seasons. The Trojans improved to 21-6 overall and 11-1 in District 9-5A.

Zion Ibekwe poured in 25 points to pace Newman Smith. Nic Codie and Te'Zhan Francois each contributed 11 points in the victory.

It didn't take long for the Trojans to impose their will. Newman Smith out-scored Creekview 17-8 in the first quarter and 19-13 in the second quarter to take a 36-21 halftime lead.

Coppell springs upset of No. 7 Plano

Although mathematically still alive for a playoff berth, Coppell knew there wasn't much room for error.

The Cowboys came into Tuesday's road contest at Plano trailing Lewisville by one game for fourth place in District 6-6A with just three games remaining in the regular season.

Coppell remained in the playoff hunt thanks to a 41-39 victory against No. 7 Plano.

Defense was the story of this game. The Cowboys held the Wildcats to just 23 points through the first three quarters. Although Plano outscored Coppell 16-9 in the fourth quarter, the Cowboys' resilience and discipline proved too much for the Wildcats to overcome.

Arhan Lapsiwala scored 16 points to pace Coppell. Alex Tung had 12 points. Baron Tipton contributed 11 points.

Lake Dallas blitzes Birdville

Tuesday's game against Birdville served as a tune-up for the Class 5A playoffs for the Lake Dallas girls basketball team.

The Lady Falcons appear to be more than ready for the postseason after using a 25-5 first-quarter run to cruise to a 66-43 win over Birdville.

Although the Hawks countered with an 18-7 second-quarter run to reduce the deficit to 32-23, the Lady Falcons didn't relinquish their lead. Lake Dallas used a 34-20 second-half run to assume control.

Camryn Richardson poured in 22 points to pace Lake Dallas. Dylan Koele had 14 points, followed by 11 from Altyn Bartley and 10 from Skylar Zingelmann.

Seventeen Texas doctors and executives — including physicians from Corinth and Lewisville — were charged Thursday for their involvement in a $1.2 billion health care kickback and money-laundering conspiracy.

The 17 Texans, who face charges from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Texas, are among 36 total defendants across the country.

The laboratories True Health Diagnostics LLC and Boston Heart Diagnostics Corp. allegedly conspired with small Texas hospitals to pay physicians to induce referrals to the hospitals for laboratory testing. The physicians received thousands of dollars in kickbacks in return for their referrals of laboratory testing, according to a press release. The complaint alleges their claims improperly billed federal health care programs for medically unnecessary laboratory testing.

North Texas defendants in U.S. v. Hertzberg, et al., include:

They were among those indicted on charges of conspiracy to commit illegal remunerations in violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute. It prohibits offering, paying, soliciting or receiving remuneration to generate referrals of items or services covered by federal health care programs.

Physicians were allegedly incentivized to refer patients to critical-access hospitals and an affiliated lab in exchange for kickbacks disguised as investment returns. Marketers were incentivized to order, arrange for or recommend patients to order services from these hospitals and an affiliated lab.

Between July 1, 2015, and Jan. 9, 2018, these defendants exchanged at least $11.25 million in illegal kickback payments.

Howard pleaded guilty to her involvement on May 24. Marioni pleaded guilty on July 20.

Petter Bennett, 47, of Houston and Stephen Kash, 48, of Winnie were indicted on charges of conspiracy to commit money laundering.

Adding three acquisitions in the well-known Fort Worth IH-20 West Business Park, Corinth Land and PCI’s latest acquisitions include 6595 Corporation Parkway, occupied by Lesiker Construction; 6597 Corporation Parkway, occupied by Cheer Connection of Texas, and 6576 Corporation Parkway, occupied by Summit Casing.

This is the ninth partnership acquisition of industrial space for Corinth Land and PCI in North Texas . The purchase price for the recent property acquisitions was not disclosed.

“We continue to be bullish in investing in Class A Industrial space in Texas and the Southwest,” said Corinth Land Founder and President Paun Peters. “We believe in the long-term value of these acquisitions and have a plan of continued growth for our asset portfolio.”

The investment duo sold a significant amount of their joint real estate portfolio last year which included a mix of multi-tenant and single-tenant buildings in some of DFW’s most coveted infill industrial submarkets that included Arlington, Brookhollow, Great Southwest, NE Dallas/Garland and Southwest Tarrant County.

“Our partnership over the years has been very strategic and selective with acquisitions during the construction/creation of our industrial portfolio throughout the Southwest,” said Lance Bozman, PCI managing partner. “These recent income producing deals add tremendous value to our base of holdings, and we expect them to perform well in this current environment.”

Founded by Peters in 2006, Corinth Land Co.’s initial focus was providing oil and gas surface sites and easements in the Barnett Shale. Peters sold the company’s holdings in 2016 and is now focused on the acquisition, development and operation of commercial and residential real estate assets in strategic locations throughout the DFW area, Texas and North America.

PCI Managing Partner Lance Bozman was formerly a managing director of a $1 Billion AIG/Lincoln portfolio that comprised 4 million SF of industrial and commercial investments. PCI Managing Partner Chad Lunsford spent 20 years at GE Capital Real Estate with $4B in acquisitions serving in various management and leadership positions. PCI Managing Partner Blake Bozman was formerly an operating partner with Drive Financial before selling the company in an almost $1 Billion transaction to Spain’s Santander Consumer Finance. He currently sits on the board of Veritex Bank.
