Weekend Sports Highlights, Civic Updates, and Community Cheer in Omaha
Published 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is Omaha Local Pulse for Saturday, February 7. We kick off with sports heating up our weekend. Our Omaha Mavericks mens tennis team hosts Midland tonight at 6 p.m. right here in town, boasting a perfect 6-0 record against them despite our 0-5 start—Bryan Kuntz and freshman Maddox Lundell lead the charge after recent singles wins. Basketball fans, catch the Mavericks taking on North Dakotas high-flying Bison this afternoon; theyre riding a 10-game road win streak while we stand at 3-22. And tune into 1490 AM or 97.3 FM for Nebraskas womens Huskers battling No. 22 Maryland at 1 p.m. in Lincoln—Omaha native Britt Prince tops the Big Ten in free throws at 93 percent, perfect in league play. Our weather stays crisp with sunny skies and highs near 35 degrees around the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge, no major impacts on events but bundle up for evening outdoor plans; expect light winds and clear nights ahead.
From City Hall, Senator Deb Fischer pushes hard for our Nebraska cattle ranchers, calling out import surges from Argentina and urging cuts to red tape for lower beef prices and bigger local herds—a win for families shopping at Aksarben Village markets. No big new business openings, but steady job growth hits about 2 percent locally, with real estate seeing median home prices around 285,000 dollars near 72nd and Dodge, up 4 percent year-over-year.
Community buzz includes birthdays celebrated yesterday on KETV—shoutout to little Henry at seven months with that epic hair, and Quinn Casey turning seven, counting down from six to seven with her brothers. Schools shine too: Creighton Prep debate team grabs first at state qualifiers. Todays crime report notes a sensitive arrest near 24th and Leavenworth for a vehicle theft ring—police urge locking up, but overall quiet past 24 hours with no public safety alerts.
Looking ahead, join the Midtown St. Valentines art walk tomorrow on Farnam Street. And a feel-good lift: local volunteers at the Omaha Childrens Museum just wrapped a toy drive, collecting over 500 for Hillcrest families.
