In the News

On April 24, the League Park basketball court was named the Lenox Family Court during a ceremony that included Lenox family members from across Texas. The court at 512 2nd St., League City, is now a tribute to members of the Lenoxes, a local family of basketball players who played for area high schools, Texas A&M, Southwest Texas State and even the NBA. League City resident Lynn Davis, who knew the Lenoxes, spearheaded the effort to rename the court, and League City City Council approved the idea in September. 281-554-1000. www.leaguecity.com
