Money left from the 2018 bond gave Marble Falls Independent School District officials opportunities to examine other facility needs and still meet the objectives of the bond. Officials decided the best way to use that money was to address needs that “benefitted the entire community,” athletic director Brian Herman said. Two projects were at the top of the list: a new track at Pony Stadium and addressing wear and tear at the Herrington Tennis Center at Marble Falls High School. So before the high school tennis team began practices for…

For weeks, Marble Falls High School head volleyball coach Kait Goertz has been saying this 2022 team is different from the ones that stepped out on the court in the past. A big reason is because of the preparation the Lady Mustangs put in months earlier leading up to the season opener against Kyle Lehman Aug. 9 that has led to a confidence the players now have. And though Marble Falls (0-1) lost to the Lady Lobos 19-25, 22-25, 10-25, Goertz said she saw plenty of positives that reinforced what…

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…

The Marble Falls High School football team finished its first week of training camp Aug. 6 in full pads that included going through the playbook and hitting. The Mustangs had numerous players in various positions, none bigger than junior Brian Beltran who lined up at tight end and caught a long touchdown pass that fired up the offense. Until that point, the defense was in the backfield making tackles or showed the discipline to contain and not allow the slot-T offense to find its rhythm. Head coach Brian Herman noted…
