The recent success of the Marble Falls Middle School boys soccer team and the addition of baseball illustrates what Marble Falls Independent School District athletics director Brian Herman, who also serves as the head football coach, wants for the department. “We’re all striving to have our head coaches as a presence with the middle school coaches as much as you can,” he said. The middle school boys soccer team won all six of its matches in the spring and gave fans a glimpse of the players’ abilities before putting on…

Saying the Faith Academy of Marble Falls athletics department experienced a banner year in 2021-22 doesn’t begin to describe the success. The Flames were undefeated in district play en route to titles in football, basketball, baseball and track and field. They repeated as the Class 2A state track and field champions. The department earned an individual state title in tennis thanks to the doubles team of Ryan Delmonico and Jaden Turrentine. The Lady Flames also enjoyed great seasons in district play. They were tied for second in volleyball and basketball,…

Faith Academy of Marble Falls senior Justin Mottle proved that he was right on time in signing his National Letter of Intent May 12 to play baseball for East Texas Baptist University, which is a member of the American Southwest Conference. Mottle will play in the outfield. But it wasn’t until about two months ago that he decided he wanted to play college baseball even though Faith Academy head coach Zakk Revelle and Austin Boom and Revolution Baseball coach Buck Turnidge, Mottle’s select team, told the player he had the…

After going unbeaten during the district season and capturing the program’s first district title, coaches honored the Faith Academy of Marble Falls baseball players by naming two as the district co-most valuable players and other starters to the first and second teams. Flames head coach Zakk Revelle noted it was unusual for one team to produce district co-MVPs but understood why it happened. He noted that coaches are presented lists of players complete with statistics. But because pitchers Justin Mottle (2-0), a senior, and Kade Shaw (4-0), a sophomore, each…

As Burnet High School head baseball coach Russell Houston observed game three of a bi-district series between his Bulldogs and La Grange May 7, he gave a prediction to his assistants of the way the contest would play out. “The first team that scores first will win,” he said. Houston was right. The Leopards (19-10, 8-2 District 20-4A co-district champions) scored the only run it needed, in the eighth inning on an RBI single to left field. The lead-off batter got on thanks to a single and the next batter…

The Faith Academy of Marble Falls baseball team’s season ended in a 16-5 loss to Halletsville Sacred Heart in the Class 2A playoffs May 5. The loss, however, doesn’t take away from an impressive season where the Flames (8-3, 6-0) went undefeated in district play en route to winning the title. “They never gave up,” head coach Zakk Revelle said. “They were always encouraging each other. The summary of our season starts with the seniors and what they wanted to do, which was to win a district championship. And then…
