The Mavericks Coming to Floore's Country Store

The recipient of a bachelor's degree in accounting from Penn State University, Reid Hackney is a retired San Antonio, Texas-based financial executive who most recently served as chief financial officer of AGACI. In retirement, Reid Hackney enjoys attending live musical performances at John T. Floore's Country Store.

Located in Helotes, Floore's Country Store regularly hosts well known and up-and-coming country music acts in addition to free family nights every Sunday. On April 6, the venue will host Grammy Award-winning band The Mavericks for a standing room only show in support of the group's most recent album, Brand New Day, which is scheduled to be released on March 31.

Led by lead vocalist Raul Malo, The Mavericks came together in the late 1980s in Miami, and soon after moved to Nashville, where they began developing a devoted fan base. The group, which is known for its unique blend of country, rock, folk, blues, and Latino elements, took a hiatus in 2003, but began touring and creating new music again in 2012. They have since released two critically-acclaimed studio albums and continue to tour all over the world. Tickets for the show are $35 in advance and $40 at the door.

Micah Parsons' Impressive Freshman Season with Penn State

A retired financial executive who spent his career in the retail sector, Reid Hackney now resides in San Antonio, Texas, where he enjoys hiking, bicycling, and visiting dance halls. An alumnus of Penn State University, Reid Hackney is also an avid fan of the school's Nittany Lions football team.

The Nittany Lions finished the 2018 season with a win-loss record of 9-4 after losing to the University of Kentucky in the Citrus Bowl, but it was a particularly memorable season for freshman linebacker Micah Parsons, who not only registered 13 tackles in the Citrus Bowl but also led the team with 82 over the course of the season. In doing so, Parsons became the only true freshman to lead Penn State in tackles dating back to 1969, when the school began compiling year-by-year statistics.

What's most impressive about Parsons' team-leading 82 tackles is the fact that he started only one game this season. Moreover, the 6-foot-3, 240-pound consensus first-team Freshman All-American was initially recruited and signed by Penn State as a defensive end, but was converted to linebacker prior to his first game of the season. He also racked up five tackles for a loss, two forced fumbles, and 1.5 sacks in his first year with the Nittany Lions.
