After going unbeaten during the district season and capturing the program’s first district title, coaches honored the Faith Academy of Marble Falls baseball players by naming two as the district co-most valuable players and other starters to the first and second teams. Flames head coach Zakk Revelle noted it was unusual for one team to produce district co-MVPs but understood why it happened. He noted that coaches are presented lists of players complete with statistics. But because pitchers Justin Mottle (2-0), a senior, and Kade Shaw (4-0), a sophomore, each…

The Faith Academy of Marble Falls softball team’s season ended in a 26-2 loss to district foe Pflugerville Concordia May 10.

As a result, Concordia made the plate adjustments and ended the contest in three innings. Still, head coach Delaney Ferguson pointed out her players grew in many ways during the season. During the first practice, she noted she had three…

Just as Faith Academy of Marble Falls head track and field coach Steve McCannon predicted, the Class 2A boys state championship came down to the 4×400-meter relay, the meet’s last race May 7. But what McCannon couldn’t have predicted was having to make a change because of one of his relay runners was unable to go. “Luke Ehrig went down in the 100,” he said. So the coach went to sophomore Cross Sanchez and told him the situation. “We knew we had to beat Dallas First Baptist Academy,” McCannon said.…
