Welcome to this weekly column where readers will find a summary of sports across the region and the impressions left on this writer. Training camps start for fall sports on Monday, Aug. 1. Here are questions each team will answer in the next few weeks. Listening to a couple of the Marble Falls Mustangs talk about their new District 13-4A Division I opponents tells me they understand this district will be much more challenging than the one they were in the last two years. With so many new faces starting…

The Marble Falls Mustangs football coaches reported for their first official day Monday, July 25, in preparation for fall training camp that starts next week. Head coach Brian Herman has several items on his to-do list beginning with the most obvious — ensuring everyone on staff knows each other. He also has given each one a coach’s handbook that includes each coach’s duty throughout the season as well as other data each staff member needs. “It tells who’s in charge of shoelaces to who does laundry and what assignments they…

With the beginning of fall training camp days away, the Marble Falls High School football is looking to finish the voluntary strength-and-conditioning program on positives. The Mustangs will have one more week of voluntary sessions Monday-Thursday, July 25-28, and head coach Brian Herman has given incentives to his athletes for attending. The first is the choice of lockers on a first-come, first-served basis. The other is getting equipment assigned. “If all goes well, we’ll be in the 120-plus range in grades 9-12,” he said of the projected number of football…

Welcome to this weekly column where readers will find a summary of sports across the region and the impressions left on this writer. We are getting closer to Aug. 1, the first day of fall training camps for football and volleyball camps. Some have already started getting ready for the season such as the Burnet High School Lady Dawgs. The Lady Dawgs opened team camp July 18 with a strong number of campers. That says plenty about the players’ mindsets and goals for the 2022 season. The annual Texas High…

In less than 30 days, the Marble Falls High School tennis team will be at the Charlie and Nancy Herrington Tennis Center preparing for the 2022-23 season with more elation and enthusiasm than in past years. That’s because the Mustangs and Lady Mustangs are competing in District 19-4A with Belton New Tech, Burnet, Jarrell, Lago Vista and Salado and are out of District 25-5A that included four Leander Independent School District schools, both Georgetown ISD schools and Liberty Hill. Marble Falls head coach Sam Whitley pointed out how the move…

Welcome to this weekly column where readers will find a summary of sports across the region and the impressions left on this writer. Here’s a truly scary thought from players who aren’t taking advantage of voluntary strength-and-conditioning programs — the belief they can get ready in August. My advice is not to wait. Get in weight rooms now, get on tracks and fields now because thinking there’s enough time to get prepared for a grueling season in less than 30 days is simply not thinking clearly. Few great athletes can…

Welcome to this weekly column where readers will find a summary of sports across the region and the impressions left on this writer. In my almost two decades of covering sports in the Highland Lakes, little surprises me. And yet there’s no question of the optimism surrounding sports programs among the coaching staffs of the three public high schools. That’s because coaches can see their players are putting in the work this summer to get better. That should pay dividends during the upcoming school year. If you doubt, please consider…

Doc Harrington made it clear he wouldn’t unretire unless the right opportunity with the right people came along. That happened three years ago when Brian Herman became the football at head coach at Marble Falls and hired Heath Hohmann and other coaches who where on Jerry Vance’s staff in Liberty Hill a decade earlier. Then when Harrington, who was asked to work at Marble Falls Middle School, outlined his vision to Dr. Chris Allen, Marble Falls Independent School District superintendent, and Jeff Gasaway, assistant superintendent, he discovered two individuals who…

The desire to play college football is why Marble Falls High School junior lineman Jeremiah Bales has been traveling to different camps. During the last several weeks, Bales has camped at the University of Texas at San Antonio, Texas State University, Angelo State University, Texas A&M at Commerce and Texas Christian University. At 6 feet 4 inches and weighing 323 pounds, Bales has the intangibles that college coaches love in linemen. But it’s his strength at the point of attack that gets people talking. Case in point was during the…
