The American Pickers are excited to return to Texas! They plan to film episodes of The History Channel hit television series throughout your area in October 2024. AMERICAN PICKERS is a documentary series that explores the fascinating world of antique “picking” on The History Channel. The hit show follows skilled pickers in the business, as they hunt for America’s most valuable antiques. They are always excited to find historically significant or rare items, in addition to unforgettable Characters and their collections. As they hit the back roads from coast to coast, the Pickers are on a mission to recycle, and rescue forgotten relics. Along the way, they want to meet characters with amazing stories and fun items. They hope to give historically significant objects a new lease on life while learning a thing or two about America’s past along the way. The Pickers have seen a lot of rusty gold over the years and are always looking to discover something they’ve never seen before. They are ready to find extraordinary items and hear fascinating tales about them. The American Pickers TV Show is looking for leads and would love to explore your hidden treasure. If you or someone you know has a unique item, story to tell, and is ready to sell… we would love to hear from you!

As Sul Ross State embarks on a new challenge with the transition to NCAA Division II and the Lone Star Conference, the Lobo baseball program is getting a new leader. Having coached across all levels in the NCAA including high school and minor league baseball, Caleb Abney will now be taking over the helm. Abney served as the head baseball coach at Lancaster Bible College from 2021-2023, a Division III program in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He will replace Ely Gallego who spent the last two seasons as the head coach. “It is an honor to join Sul Ross athletics and to be trusted to lead the baseball program into this new era of excellence in Division II competition,” Abney said. “I am so grateful to Amanda Workman and the rest of the athletics staff. They have been exceptional in this process, and I am looking forward to rewarding their belief in me. “I am excited to collectively chase uncommon excellence for the baseball program, and to help guide and push these young men to realize their highest potential - as people, as students, and as championship-caliber baseball players.” Abney has an extensive coaching career which began at the high school level as a varsity head coach at Westminster Christian Academy in Watkinsville, Georgia. The Kennesaw, Georgia native later received an opportunity to coach at his alma mater, Covenant College, in Lookout Mountain, Georgia where he served as an assistant coach. Abney took his talents to the Division II level at King University in Bristol, Tennessee as an assistant coach.
