I graduated from Brownfield High School 2002. My years in Brownfield were filled with many great memories. I played tennis for Brownfield High School, and fell in love with the sport during this time. Prior to tennis, I had several teachers who were incredibly influential in my life and made my time in BISD so enjoyable and filled with great memories. I was blessed with some great history teachers. Mr. Gaither and Ms. Blankenship made history fun and engaging. It was with these two teachers, during Middle School, that I really began to latch on to history. Mr. Decker continued to grow my love of history. I enjoyed sitting in class and just hearing the stories he would tell about various events. I will also never forget Ms. Mason. She was a teacher that was incredibly kind and welcoming. I ended up joining FCCLA with several friends, just because she made time in class fun. I would end up with some of my favorite high school memories when Ms. Mason took our LifeSmarts team to Austin to compete in the state tournament. We had no idea what we were getting in to, which was probably for the better. We beat the defending state champion, twice, on our way to a state championship. From there, we went to compete in Nationals at Washington D.C., and ended as the National Runner-Up.

The Crackin Crab broke ground for its new building on Thursday April 7th. The restaurant originally opened in 2020 right at the start of the coronavirus pandemic. The pandemic was a struggle, but owner Keren Acevedo said, “Brownfield never let me down.” The restaurant is a family affair, with every member playing a part to keep the business running strong. Keren originally started the business after realizing that there were no shrimp or seafood places in town, and she wanted to be able to support her family with the freedom that owning your own business allows.
