The Faith Academy of Marble Falls baseball team survived its best challenge to its undefeated district record. The Flames (7-2, 5-0) outlasted Bryan St. Joseph 13-11 April 22 thanks to solid hitting and taking advantage of runners in scoring position. “Winning is hard,” head coach Zakk Revelle said. “This is the first baseball district championship for Faith Academy ever. They took it head-on. It was the most complete team effort we’ve had all season.” Every Flame had at least one hit, and Revelle noted every single one was needed to…

Most Texans may know Cedric Griffin as a cornerback for the 2005 national champion Texas Longhorns that defeated the University of Southern California in the Rose Bowl. Griffin was part of the 2001 recruiting class ranked No. 1 in the country. What people may not know is that Griffin, who is an assistant track coach for Faith Academy of Marble Falls this spring, credits much of his play-making ability on the football field to the time he spent on the track long before he signed his National Letter of Intent…

San Marcos Hill Country hosted senior night before the start of its baseball game against Faith Academy of Marble Falls April 8, so the Flames braced for the Rams’ best effort. Needless to say, Hill Country found few answers thanks to sophomore pitcher Kade Shaw, who led the Flames (5-2, 3-0 District 3-2A Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools) to a 16-0 win in a contest that ended after three innings. Shaw had an in-park grand slam and finished with 5 RBIs. Carter Fromberg and Dylan Offutt each had…
