Saying the Faith Academy of Marble Falls athletics department experienced a banner year in 2021-22 doesn’t begin to describe the success.

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…

Just as Faith Academy of Marble Falls head track and field coach Steve McCannon predicted, the Class 2A boys state championship came down to the 4×400-meter relay, the meet’s last race May 7. But what McCannon couldn’t have predicted was having to make a change because of one of his relay runners was unable to go. “Luke Ehrig went down in the 100,” he said. So the coach went to sophomore Cross Sanchez and told him the situation. “We knew we had to beat Dallas First Baptist Academy,” McCannon said.…

The tradition of the Faith Academy of Marble Falls tennis team earning a state championship continued thanks to a pair of left-handed freshmen. Ryan Delmonico and Jaden Turrentine went 4-0 in girls doubles at the Class 2A state meet of the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools April 6-7 to win it all. Because the duo are freshmen, they didn’t receive a seed, which is given based on past history at the tournament. Still, it didn’t matter to them, who also won the district championship by going 4-0. “I…

The Faith Academy of Marble Falls boys and girls track and field teams finished first and third at the South Region meet of the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools on April 27.
