Discovery sums up what the Burnet High School football team experienced during its scrimmage against Lago Vista Aug. 12. “You see things you’re excited about and other things we got to work on,” defensive coordinator Ben Speer said. “The kids had great energy. They did a good job with that, and coaches helped them get there.” Lago Vista, which reached the Class 3A Division I semifinals after finishing as the District 13-3A runner-up, posed a good test for the Bulldogs, Speer said. “Lago Vista is big and physical,” he said.…

It’s almost as if there wasn’t an offseaon.

The Burnet High School volleyball team begins another chapter of its history on Tuesday, Aug. 9, when the Lady Dawgs welcome Blanco to The Doghouse, 1000 The Green Mile.

The end of the first week of training camp comes with a reward for the Burnet High School football team and its fans – an intrasquad scrimmage Aug. 6. Head coach Bryan Wood noted it was the first day of hitting for the Bulldogs. “We were very limited on how much live,” he said. “We want depth, but you don’t want to beat up on each other.” Wood was most interested in seeing the athletes movements in every play. Do they know their assignments? Are they moving naturally because they…

A new group of athletes emerged from the meeting room of the Burnet Consolidated Independent School District field house Aug. 4 determined to learn even more about the game of football from those who know it best – the Bulldog coaches and players themselves. The new group — more than 60 mothers of the current players — had visited Bulldog Field numerous times, but rarely did they understand some of the basic concepts of the sport such as the positions, what the players and coaches do at practices, and why…

The end of practice Aug. 4 wasn’t what the Smoking For Jesus Ministry School’s football staff wanted to see. So new offensive coordinator Russ Roberts asked the players to get back in their formations to run one more play. With the intensity kicked up, the Eagles displayed what the coaches wanted: movements where every player knew where to go and who to block, a toss to the running back that hit him in stride and allowed him to quickly read where to go, and a defense that fought through the…

Every part of The Doghouse and the auxiliary gym at Burnet High School were being utilized in helping the Burnet volleyball staff make evaluations to determine roster spots for the 2022 season. Head coach Crystal Shipley had an obstacle most coaches welcome. Everywhere she looked, she saw talent among the 47 athletes in grades 9-12, a testament to the Lady Dawgs themselves for their dedication to being their best and to their coaches for instilling in them a love of the sport. It also helps that the Lady Dawgs added…

The intensity and enthusiasm were contagious at Bulldog Field Tuesday, Aug. 2, the second day of fall training camp for the Burnet Bulldogs. The players and coaches accomplished plenty, which compelled head coach Bryan Wood to call an end to the session 15 minutes earlier than was originally planned, a reward to the players for their commitment to getting a lot of work done with the attitude, attention to detail and commitment Wood wanted to see. The Bulldogs had 64 players in grades 10-12 participate with another 45 freshmen who…
