Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for March 21, 2025.
We're kicking off the weekend with some exciting news for fishing enthusiasts. The Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Classic, often called the Super Bowl of Bass Fishing, returns to Fort Worth today. This three-day tournament is expected to draw nearly 150,000 visitors to our city as anglers compete for a $1 million purse. Daily weigh-ins will be held at Dickies Arena, with doors opening at 3:15 pm for the general public. The event is free, but be sure to check Dickies Arena's policies on prohibited items before heading out.
In local sports, Fort Worth Boswell High School made history earlier this month by capturing the school's first state basketball championship. The team, ranked second in the state, defeated Fort Bend Hightower in a thrilling match. This marks Fort Worth's first state title in basketball since 2007, bringing pride to our city's sports community.
On a somber note, our community is mourning the loss of up-and-coming Fort Worth rapper Lil Ronnie and his 5-year-old daughter. A funeral service was held yesterday, bringing together friends, family, and fans to celebrate their lives and legacy in the local music scene.
In city developments, Fort Worth is making strides in sustainability. The city has launched a free tool loan program, empowering residents to tackle home improvement projects while promoting community engagement. This initiative highlights Fort Worth's commitment to fostering a more sustainable and self-reliant community.
Looking ahead to next week, TCU women's basketball team is set to host NCAA Tournament games for the first time in school history. As a No. 2 seed, they'll face Fairleigh Dickinson in the first round at Schollmaier Arena. It's a testament to the team's incredible turnaround, going from last place in their conference to championship contenders in just two seasons.
On the weather front, we're looking at a beautiful spring day with highs around 73°F and lows near 57°F. It's perfect weather for outdoor activities, so why not head to the Fort Worth Botanic Garden or Trinity Park?
In public safety news, Fort Worth police are investigating a wrong-way crash on Interstate 30 that occurred earlier this week. Two people were hospitalized, with one sustaining serious injuries. As always, we urge drivers to stay vigilant and practice safe driving habits.
Lastly, a heartwarming story from our local schools. Fort Worth ISD reports that more than 1,600 students have graduated high school with an associate degree since 2017, showcasing the district's commitment to providing advanced educational opportunities for our youth.
This has been Fort Worth Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
