The Burnet High School girls soccer team ended the regular season with a 2-1 loss to Salado March 14. Still, the Lady Dawgs (15-7-3, 11-4 District 18-4A) have plenty in front of them, including representing the district as the third-place team in the playoffs. While that opponent from District 17-4A is still unknown because that district finishes up the regular season March 15, Burnet isn’t sitting and waiting around. Head coach Kimberly Myhre had scheduled a warm-up match against San Angelo Lake View representing District 3-4A at 3 p.m. Monday,…

Marble Falls head coach Tyler Porter noted his players hadn’t played a game since their 5-4 victory against Fredericksburg March 5. Then Mother Nature forced Blanco Tournament officials to shorten the Mustangs’…

Following a 2-0 loss to Leander Rouse on March 12, the Marble Falls High School boys soccer team provided purple balloons to its seniors, asking them to release them to symbolize the end of their eligibility and what will happen to them in the next few months. “It’s very easy for me to (define) this team,” head coach Rick Hoover said. “It’s character. I told them this all year. By far this has been my favorite team because of the quality of kids they are. I could turn my back…
