In 1948, James Cathey took an iconic photo of famed female rodeo trick rider Tad Lucas performing her signature death-defying stunt, the “back drag,” in which she swings herself backward until her head is just inches off the ground. This led to James becoming something of the resident photographer for the Girls Rodeo Association, shooting photos of their barnstormed events across Texas. ⁠

Enamored by Lucas’ show, James followed her to the budding Girls Rodeo Association, the first all-girls rodeo competition founded by cowgirls Nancy Binford and Thena Mae Farr after traditional contests wouldn’t let women compete in the most dangerous events.⁠

The shot of Lucas' stunt ride is now displayed at the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame in Fort Worth, as well as in "Powder Puff and Spurs: The Story of James Cathey and the Girls Rodeo Association," self-published by Cathey's sons and Lake Highlands neighbors in 2018.⁠

For at least the next two weeks, White Rock Coffee will post a list of first names on its Instagram story. If a neighbor finds their name on the list, they can head to any WRC location to claim a free seasonal drink.

Name-dropping is frowned upon in many social circles. But for the next few weeks at White Rock Coffee locations around Dallas, it means free coffee — and a scoop.

Family. Work Ethic. Enthusiasm. Accountability. Appreciation.

These are the five “core values” that Lake Highlands High School Head Basketball Coach Joe Duffield has built his program around since stepping into the role in 2016.

"When official practice starts, we pick a core value for the day. The first practice of the year is always going to be family. So we put a number on the board and as the practice goes on, when players do something that fits into that family core value, we take that number down."

"I really want our kids to buy into having a family atmosphere within the team and that’s something we’re big on, and we try to show them what that looks like on the court or in life through the game. So that was a big thing. You know, our other core values are super important to us. Work ethic, enthusiasm, accountability and appreciation. Those are our five."
