It took two extra innings for the winner to be decided between the Marble Falls High School baseball team and Cedar Park March 16. In the end, a pass ball allowed the Timberwolves (9-4-1, 1-0 District 25-5A) to score the game-winning run in the ninth inning for the 1-0 victory. The Mustangs (4-5, 0-1) had two batters reach base when Jett Zurita and Evan NIckowski were hit by pitches with one out in the ninth inning.

The Burnet High School baseball team was one out away from earning a one-run win against Georgetown Gateway on March 15. But the Gators scored four runs with two outs to take a 4-1 lead into the bottom of the seventh, and Burnet (5-4-1, 2-0 District 19-4A) was down its final three outs. “(My players) were down a little bit,” Burnet head coach Russell Houston said. “You have to stay positive with them. It’s one pitch at a time, one bat at a time. You tell them ‘let’s get the…

The Burnet High School girls soccer team ended the regular season with a 2-1 loss to Salado March 14. Still, the Lady Dawgs (15-7-3, 11-4 District 18-4A) have plenty in front of them, including representing the district as the third-place team in the playoffs. While that opponent from District 17-4A is still unknown because that district finishes up the regular season March 15, Burnet isn’t sitting and waiting around. Head coach Kimberly Myhre had scheduled a warm-up match against San Angelo Lake View representing District 3-4A at 3 p.m. Monday,…

The Marble Falls High School baseball team arrived at the Blanco Tournament March 12 with an agenda that went beyond winning. But make no mistake — winning was at the top. The Mustangs (4-4) defeated Texas Military Institute 4-1 and lost to Blanco 4-1 in a rematch after the Panthers shut out Marble Falls 12-0 a week earlier. Marble Falls head coach Tyler Porter noted his players hadn’t played a game since their 5-4 victory against Fredericksburg March 5. Then Mother Nature forced Blanco Tournament officials to shorten the Mustangs’…

Going to the Boys Powerlifting Region II Division I Championship on March 12, Marble Falls High School head coach Robert Draper had a hunch it was going to be a great day for the Mustangs.

Following a 2-0 loss to Leander Rouse on March 12, the Marble Falls High School boys soccer team provided purple balloons to its seniors, asking them to release them to symbolize the end of their eligibility and what will happen to them in the next few months. “It’s very easy for me to (define) this team,” head coach Rick Hoover said. “It’s character. I told them this all year. By far this has been my favorite team because of the quality of kids they are. I could turn my back…
