Courtesy photo The Faith Academy of Marble Falls’ campus located on RR 1431 made it an ideal spot for First Responders to set up a Command Center after the flood that hit the Highland Lakes during the Fourth of July holiday. As a result, Faith Academy administrators closed the campus for summer activities, including the Flames’ and Lady Flames’ strength and conditioning sessions.

Photo by Jennifer Fierro The Burnet High School’s 7-on-7 defense performed at a high level throughout play in May and June.
