A decade drought of a Mustang earning a medal at the tennis district tournament ended for Marble Falls High School on March 30-31 thanks to senior Brody Knight. Knight finished third in boys singles at the District 25-5A tournament and had a shot at advancing to the Class 5A Region IV tournament in a playback match. Knight, who was seeded No. 4, lost to the eventual district champion but hadn’t faced the players pitted against each other in the other semifinal. So when the player who beat Knight in his…

A pitching change and timely hitting with runners in scoring position helped Georgetown High defeat the Marble Falls High School baseball team 5-4 April 12. “The start was great,” Marble Falls head coach Tyler Porter said of his team. “Our Achilles’ heel is we always seem to give some back. That was one of the most complete games we’ve played.” The Mustangs (5-12, 1-8 District 25-5A) couldn’t have started the game better. Pitcher Bryson Atkinson forced the Eagles (19-3, 7-2) to go 3 up, 3 down in the first inning…

Going into the District 3-2A track and field meet of the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools April 11, Faith Academy of Marble Falls was the favorite to continue a tradition head coach Steve McCannon doesn’t take for granted — winning the championships. The Flames took 14 of the 17 gold medals, including in the 4×200-meter relay and in the 400 meters, to earn 271 points for their fourth district championship. The Lady Flames earned 240.5 points en route to their third consecutive district title and 12th overall. The…

San Marcos Hill Country hosted senior night before the start of its baseball game against Faith Academy of Marble Falls April 8, so the Flames braced for the Rams’ best effort. Needless to say, Hill Country found few answers thanks to sophomore pitcher Kade Shaw, who led the Flames (5-2, 3-0 District 3-2A Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools) to a 16-0 win in a contest that ended after three innings. Shaw had an in-park grand slam and finished with 5 RBIs. Carter Fromberg and Dylan Offutt each had…

The Faith Academy of Marble Falls baseball team is continuing to put up statistics that are leading to lopsided victories and shortened contests. The latest was a 16-1 win against Bryan St. Joseph Catholic School on April 1 after the Flames (4-2, 2-0 Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools) beat Bryan Allen Academy by the same 16-1 score March 25. In both contests, sophomore pitcher Kade Shaw was on the mound. Against St. Joseph, Shaw struck out 10 of the 15 batters he faced, including the three at the…

After leading the Marble Falls High School football team to the 2020 and 2021 playoffs, senior quarterback Jake Becker will suit up for Hardin-Simmons University in fall 2022. Playing college football was a goal for the son of Krystal and Matt Becker, who was the Mustangs quarterback in the mid 1990s, and passed his love of the sport to his son. The younger Becker’s favorite part is the teamwork football requires. “I grew up playing it and loving it,” he said. “I genuinely enjoy being around everybody, the environment it…

After helping the Marble Falls High School football team flip field position with his powerful punts and kickoffs, senior place kicker and punter Logan Barnes is aiming to do the same for Texas Lutheran University. Barnes committed to play for the Bulldogs as a punter and a shot and discus thrower for the track and field squad. “It felt like Marble Falls,” he said. “It feels like family where the players are going to be first. They were going to do the best for me if I did the best…

A new track at Marble Falls Middle School’s Pony Stadium and resurfacing of the courts at the Charlie and Nancy Herrington Tennis Center at Marble Falls High School means those facilities won’t be available to the public for a few weeks. The removal of the old track at MFMS, 1511 Pony Circle Drive, began April 4. Resurfacing at the tennis center is expected to be completed toward the end of April. Workers will fill in the cracks to the tennis courts, level the playing surfaces, and other important measures to…
