The Marble Falls Middle School boys soccer team ended its season with an 8-0 rout of Liberty Hill Santa Rita May 17 to go unbeaten during the 2022 season for a 6-0 record. The Mustangs were dominant in their contests where they gave up only two goals all season while averaging more than two a match. “Both are obviously very notable,” coach Aaron Jimenez said. “But to be able to produce goals at that age is impressive.” About 35 seventh- and eighth-graders came out for middle school soccer. The undefeated…

The Marble Falls High School football players aren’t basking in the Texas sun. Instead, they are putting in the work in the weight room and baking on the artificial turf at Mustang Stadium during competition drills days before the 2021-22 academic year ends. The Mustangs are doing more than embracing preparation in the offseason; they’re showing up in herds with the mindset that no individual will be outworked by anyone. And that has their coaches enthusiastic. That is especially apparent in the number who are showing up before and after…

Segovia experienced plenty of firsts during the meet. It was his first time to vault in that stadium. The pole vault pit is right next to stands, making it the first time Segovia was that…

Rick Edwards did more than repeat the Marble Falls Independent School District’s motto of having an unyielding commitment to loving every child — he lived it. That was apparent by the way the MFISD board trustee voted when it came to policies, funding unexpected expenses such as trips for extracurricular activities, and especially hires. Edwards died May 7 from a brain hemorrhage on the same day he was re-elected to the board. While it’s a given that every MFISD employee embraces the district motto and shows it, the truth is…

The Faith Academy of Marble Falls baseball team’s season ended in a 16-5 loss to Halletsville Sacred Heart in the Class 2A playoffs May 5. The loss, however, doesn’t take away from an impressive season where the Flames (8-3, 6-0) went undefeated in district play en route to winning the title. “They never gave up,” head coach Zakk Revelle said. “They were always encouraging each other. The summary of our season starts with the seniors and what they wanted to do, which was to win a district championship. And then…
