Marble Falls football team announces postseason awards
The Marble Falls High School football program celebrated the accomplishments of the 2025 season with its annual banquet Dec. 16.
Sophomore quarterback Crawford Mattox is the Offensive Player of the Year, while senior defensive end Kaleb Bielfeldt is the Defensive Player of the Year, and senior athlete Joaquin Aguilar is the Special Teams Player of the Year.
Maddox completed 75 of 152 passes for 740 yards, four touchdowns and nine interceptions and 86 rushes for 209 yards and three scores in eight games.
Senior athlete Doak Timmerman received the Fighting Heart Award.
Offensively, Timmerman served as the program’s short-yardage specialist. He had 28 rushes for 138 yards and four touchdowns and caught two passes for 38 yards. Defensively, he helped anchor the unit. He had 68 tackles, a sack and recovered two fumbles.
“We had those four recognized,” head coach Keri Timmerman said. “We were just excited to honor them.”
Bielfeldt, who had 59 tackles, six sacks and an interception, also was the recipient of the Trench Warfare Belt. Timmerman noted coaches voted on which lineman received it after each game and that Mustang enjoyed it for the week. Bielfeldt received it more than any lineman during the 2025 season.
“We engrave their name (every) week on the award, so that every winner is on there and then based on who wins it the most or who wins it off of votes at the end gets that award,” the coach said. “So that’s an offensive line and defensive line specific award.”
Linebacker Doak Timmerman and Bielfeldt were named first team All-District 4-4A Division I.
Second team members include senior linebacker Brody Graham, senior offensive lineman Tyler Leverett, running back Aguilar and freshman offensive utility player Diego Aguilar.
Honorable mention went to receivers Kaden Langbein and Atreyu Machacek, defensive backs C.J. Alexander and Gregory Lemon, defensive lineman Jamir Garcia, offensive lineman Raul Moran, who are all seniors, sophomore linebacker Olen Dalton
Graham and Leverett were selected academic all-state by the Texas High School Coaches Association.
Junior varsity Players of the Year are Steve Trevino for offense, Carlos Alavarez for defense and Oliver Lyon for special teams.
Ninth-grade Players of the Year honors went to Gage Goebel for offense, Travis Lutz for defense and Edgar Huerta for special teams.
“We just honored all the kids and we’re really proud of all three of our teams – our freshmen, our junior varsity and our varsity teams,” Timmerman said. “Everybody improved record wise by at least a game, if not more. All those things were better this year, and we feel like our kids just as a whole — the culture, our program — got better. We just had a lot of really good senior leadership, but I think as a whole, our team just kind of found itself, which was fun to see.”
To illustrate the difficulty of the Mustangs’ 2025 schedule, consider this.
While fans know that Stephenville, which beat Marble Falls 65-7 in the second game of the District 4-4A Division I campaign en route to winning it again, defeated Kilgore 10-0 Dec. 19 for the state title, few may know that Kilgore shut out La Vernia 49-0 in the other state semifinal.
La Vernia beat the Mustangs 63-21 Sept. 26 in non-district play.
They are the second state semifinalist Marble Falls faced this season. The other was Llano, which lost to Yoakum 71-27 Dec. 12, in the Class 3A Division I state semifinals. The Bulldogs beat Grandview 45-29 Dec. 18 for the state title.
Devine, which the Mustangs crushed 36-14 Oct. 3, lost to Jarrell in a bi-district contest 66-28 Nov. 14. Jarrell, which lost to Sinton in the area round of the playoffs, beat Marble Falls 41-7 Sept. 5.
As he thought back to the banquet, Timmerman sounded encouraged.
“(We) had a great turnout and feel like things are building,” he said. “And we’re moving forward well and looking forward to a really good offseason.”
