About 38 Lady Mustangs and 40 middle-school boys attended the first week of voluntary sessions, a solid number for both. “I would say for day one,…

The number of Bulldogs attending voluntary strength-and-conditioning sessions thrills the Burnet High School coaching staff. That’s according to defensive coordinator Ben Speer.
