Marble Falls High School graduate Kylie Roberts is one of nine nominees for the Chicken Express Community Heroes award in conjunction with Dave Campbell’s Texas Football.

Roberts, who graduated in 2025, is the epitome of community hero, according to MFHS softball head coach Alex Lozoya and Principal Patrick Hinson.

Roberts is a four-year letterman in girls basketball, softball and track and field and played volleyball for one year. She was named to numerous all-district teams and received several individual team awards for her performances throughout her four years. When she wasn’t playing, she attended youth ball games and made it a point to speak to the young players.

“She visits with them and practices with them,” Lozoya said. “She knows a lot of little kids by their first name, and they know her.”

Hinson noted most may know Roberts because of her athletic talent and skill, but her contributions on and off the high school campus were just as important.

She was the student body vice president and is known to give her time to causes she believes in.

The principal said Roberts went beyond her duties in student government. She also assisted in class events and projects including the senior trip and senior T-shirt.

“She’s just a model all-around young lady,” he said. “She was one of my main go-tos. She is a great representative, to me, of Marble Falls.”

Hinson found out about Roberts’ nomination during the weekend and passed it along to school district officials at central office, he said.

Fans can vote for here here and can vote as many times as they want on a daily basis. The winner receives a $1,500 scholarship.

“Every time I get a few minutes, I go vote,” Hinson said.

While her contributions to student life on campus were big to her teammates and classmates, Lozoya said the way she gives to her community puts her in a different class.

“We can talk forever on the impact Kylie Roberts has had on Marble Falls,” Lozoya said. “She’s a servant leader. She’s very involved with Wyatt’s Clubhouse.”

Roberts takes every opportunity she can to make sure people know about Wyatt’s Clubhouse, a nonprofit devoted to bringing inclusive playgrounds to Marble Falls. She run booths at other events where she can talk about the nonprofit. She also participates in its fundraisers.

“She keeps a busy schedule and a full course load,” the coach said. “You look up, and she’s providing a service. If we needed someone to represent us, Kylie would say, ‘I’ll do it, I’ll be there.'”

“She’s in everything and excels at everything,” Hinson said. “She’s always positive, always smiling. If I had a thousand Kylie Roberts, I wouldn’t have a job. She’s a kid we’re going to miss.”
