The Stafford community is rallying around its local athletes and celebrating the revival of library services following a significant cyber attack.

In sports, the Spartans varsity football team faced a tough season opener against the Iowa Colony Pioneers, suffering a 41-7 defeat. Meanwhile, the Spartans volleyball team had a mixed weekend, losing to Nimitz High School 3-0 but bouncing back with a 2-0 victory over Fort Bend Willow Ridge. However, they faced further challenges, losing to Fort Bend Hightower and Fort Bend Kempner in subsequent matches. The volleyball team is set to kick off district play on September 12 against Royal, while the team tennis secured a win against Katie Freeman, marking the start of their district campaign.

On the community front, the Mamie George branch of the Fort Bend Public Library celebrated the relaunch of its online services after a cyber attack disrupted operations. The library hosted a special event featuring activities like coloring, giveaways, and a system-wide celebration planned at the George Memorial Library. The community is invited to join in the festivities, which include raffles and scavenger hunts, as a way to thank patrons for their patience during the outage.

As the Spartans strive for excellence in sports and the library reopens its doors to the public, the spirit of Stafford remains strong, encouraging support for local teams and services.
