A stellar 2021 season opened doors for better competition and memories from a road trip that will last long after the Burnet High School volleyball players’ eligibility ends. The Lady Dawgs (9-5) accepted an invitation to compete at the inaugural Tournament on the Bay in Bay City Aug. 19-20 where they captured the bronze medal thanks to posting a 5-1 record. Outside hitter MaeSyn Gay and middle blocker Zaria Solis, who are both juniors, were named to the all-tournament team. Burnet defeated Mabank 25-20, 24-26, 15-14 for third place and…

The absence of a top starter for the Marble Falls High School volleyball team meant other Lady Mustangs had the chance to shine during the Warrior Showcase in San Antonio Aug. 19-20. And they did, said head coach Kait Goertz. “We played in six matches,” she said. “We saw improvement from one match to the next. It’s hard when you’re running a different lineup and missing a key starter. They started communicating and compensating for the adjustments they had to make. We had players coming off the bench and stepping…

Marble Falls at the Johnson City 1.5-mile Relay Meet Boys varsity (junior Nick Dahl and sophomores Ezekiel Atkinson, Blake Cockrell and Tyler Hamblin) finished second in 33:33 Head coach Chris Schrader noted that while the Mustangs didn’t break their own meet record set last year with a team of seniors, this year’s four runners showed they have what it takes to set their own history. Cockrell pulled the team from third to second thanks to finishing in 8 minutes and 24 seconds. “Blake is starting to realize his immense potential,”…

CUTLINE: The Faith Academy of Marble Falls football finished its training camp with an impressive performance against Austin Veritas. Photo by Stennis Shotts The Faith Academy of Marble Falls football team didn’t display a weakness during its scrimmage against Austin Veritas Aug. 19. The Flames scored six times and the Faith defense, which gave up two touchdowns, made a statement, head coach Stephen Shipley said. “The defense played really well,” he said. “I think we only gave up a handful of first downs. Their two touchdowns were on busted plays.…

During the live scrimmage against Leander, Marble Falls Mustangs shine

Training camp ended with some defensive stands and impressive runs for the Marble Falls High School football team in a scrimmage against the Leander Lions Aug. 19. That’s because when the Mustangs needed to make plays — after the first live quarter ended with a 7-7 tie — they showed they had plenty of: athletes who relished the moment and want to be counted on, belief in each other and their coaches to put them in position to be successful, and protecting the football when it mattered most. That was…

Canyon Lake’s offense, defense get the job done against Elgin in scrimmage

The Canyon Lake Hawks found the end zone twice during the live portion of the scrimmage Friday, Aug. 19, against the visiting Elgin Wildcats, but it was more than that in the eyes of head coach Charley Drum. “It was a little slow start but we responded in the live quarters,” he said. The Wildcats scored a touchdown on a pass over the middle during the controlled portion of the scrimmage, but it was the only time they’d get in the end zone. While the Hawks didn’t score in the…

The Burnet High School football team flashed much more than the seven touchdowns during its final scrimmage against Jarrell Aug. 19. Burnet scored in a variety of ways: short and long touchdown passes and short and long touchdown runs. Meanwhile, the Burnet defense yielded only two touchdowns, all in the live quarters, during the two-and-a-half hour affair. Head coach Bryan Wood noted his players displayed the chemistry and rapport coaches have highlighted throughout the last several months. Each Bulldog did his job and trusted his teammates to do theirs. That’s…

The Marble Falls High School cross country team is experiencing a transition in many ways. In addition to being realigned to District 24-4A from District 25-5A, the Mustangs and Lady Mustangs are still determining their top runners’ order. The boys have four returners — Marco Almazan, Ezekiel Atkinson, Nick Dahl and Tyler Hamblin — and several others vying to be in the top five, which will yield a team score. They’ll get their first chance to make their case at the Johnson City 1.5-mile Relay Meet Friday, Aug. 19, at…
